I posted some pictures and a video, but it has to be approved by a moderator before it'll show up.

An interesting side effect of this setup - any infrared light source can be used as a mouse...

Here's the finished product:

I've wanted to do this for a while, and I finally thought of a very simple procedure, using the Wiimote.

First, I have the Wiimote paired to the computer (using bluetooth and glovepie).

Next, I...

Here's a working model of the PC Zapper I made yesterday.

Woops, yes, I meant the mayflash adapter. Right now I'm only using that for 1 single button. With the second LED in the barrel of the gun, no need for additional tracking via the accelerometer. As of...

Tried it with a second IR LED on the outside of the gun, tracking is MUCH improved - near perfect! I will add the second LED to the inside of the barrel (closer to the tip).

Unfortunately the adapter only gets input from the trigger buttons and joystick. Accelerometers are no-go with this particular setup. It's not optimal, but a workable first attempt, I think.

The biggest benefit of using the mayflash adapter is that now the gun is semi-wireless. The computer and TV are across the room, but the gun is just plugged into the wireless adapter on the coffee...

Ha! You read my mind! I had a third party wii nunchuk with a crappy joystick, so I didn't mind using it for this. I ran the nunchuk cable out of the bottom of the gun, and I'm using a wireless wii...

Yes, I use both the EMS Top Gun and the Wiimote. Both work as nice alternatives, but nothing matches the real aiming afforded by the original Zapper.

If there's no way to salvage any...

The NES Zapper does not work on modern tv's, and it is my understanding that this has something to do with the speed at which the white box (ie, in Duck Hunt) flashes on the screen.

This is most...
