	NES Zapper@Everything2.com
		The Zapper, or Light Gun as it is called by many people, has been around almost as long as the NES itself.
		Although it's difficult to imagine the NES without the Zapper, there were relatively few games that it could be used for.
		Furthermore, many younger gamers felt jaded by the Zapper (gray or orange) since it was playable with so few games and cut off the cords so they could play with the Zapper itself as if it were a real gun, thereby further lowering the amount of active Zappers in the wild.

	Digg - NES Zapper Mouse Mod
		For this simple mod, I wired a gyration mouse to the NES Zapper, allowing for both free range motion sensing and trigger happy left-click action.
		Maybe there are already joystick drivers that recognize the Zapper when wired to the parallel port.
		He is using the gyro mouse to move around and the fire button on the zapper is wired to the right click.

		This would provide all the functionality that I would need in a NES Mouse Gun and it would be extremely easy albeit terribly ugly.
		Once the mouse was completely dissected, I soldered the two wires coming from the NES Zapper trigger to the two connections for the left-click button [shown above].
		This allowed the remote circuitry to fit in the NES controller and allowed me to bend the diode to the cable/cord hole of the original NES case.

		The Nintendo Zapper is a light gun that was included with early NES game consoles, to play a number of games including Duck Hunt I have one of the early gray coloured Zappers.
		I then hooked the Zapper up to the joystick port of the XGS and wrote a simple program with the Tile Engine to display the state of the two ports.
		If you want to read the Zapper quickly during video processing then it is much better to hook it directly to an i/o port where it can be read in one clock cycle with no overhead.

		Zapper Controls --------------- Toggle through Game A/B/C (when pointed off screen) Confirm selection at main menu (when pointed on screen) Shoot ducks/clay discs -------------------------- Section 06 - Stuff to Know -------------------------- Ammunition ---------- You will have three shots to hit all of the ducks/clay discs.
		If you have the controller plugged into controller slot 1, and the zapper gun plugged into controller slot B, then, the ducks can be controlled by moving the D Pad on the controller.

		The most common of these peripherals is the NES Zapper (light gun), which is used to shoot down things (like clay pigeons) in certain Zapper-using games, such as Duck Hunt.
		A few other peripherals were made, such as the NES Satellite, which let the NES controllers work from a distance without a long cord, like a remote control (batteries not included), and the little-known NES Power Glove, which gave the player virtual reality capabilities in certain games, but proved to be mostly a flop.
		The NES witnessed the creation of many great games; and they did have their bad ones two, like every other system.

	The NES Fountain - Europe Section
		In 1989 Club Nintendo was released in Europe, it was available in all European countries where the NES was released and, of course, in different languages.
		There were also some tips and tricks for other NES games such as Rad Racer and Mega Man. Two comics about Mario and Luigi were featured in the mag too.
		The second comic was basically an ad for the NES and its accessoires (Zapper, NES Advantage and NES Max).

		Nes Nation had idiosyncratic trivia games, manuals, hints, a "fl market," reviews, a chat room, a message board, a mailing list, a tutorial on making a NES website, a section for letters to the Eggplant Wizard...it was big.
		Nintendo released many other controllers, including the NES Max which was shaped like a small Genesis controller and used a round sliding disc for control.
		Another popular controller was the NES Advantage, which was a large arcade-style joystick with lots of special abilities such as slow motion and autofire.

		Originally released in Japan under the moniker of Famicom, the little NES isn't a terribly powerful machine, but is sure did the trick.
		The way the Zapper works is when you pull the trigger the targets that you are supposed to be aiming for will change, depending on the game you're playing for example in Duck Hunt the duck or the clay pigeon will change to a white square roughly the same size as the target.
		If the sensor in the end of the gun detects this shape, then it will register a hit, on the other hand if it does not detect the white square it will register as a miss.

	NES Zapper tats - Joystiq
		Wow, and here I thought a guy who had the dedication to tattoo zappers to his lovehandles would be sporting a six pack.
		Oh, I get it, you're supposed to grip the zapper at the handle where his love handles are.
		It's still an NES controller, and anyone who played it when it was still an active system can call themselves "old-school" I guess.

	wonko.com: The secret of the NES Zapper
		When the trigger was pulled, the game blanked out the screen with a fl background for one frame, then, for one additional frame, drew a solid white rectangle around the sprite the user was supposed to be shooting at.
		The photodiode at the back of the Zapper would detect these changes in intensity and send a signal to the NES to indicate whether it was over a lit pixel or not.
		Recently, I was moving my cousin and found a NES Zapper and it brought back all of my old questions, but laziness set in and I didn't look it up.

		Yeah, the orange zappers always belonged to gross latch-key kids that ate too many microwave pizzas.
		The Wii zapper attachment might get by with being that color grey though, since it doesn't really look like a pistol at all.
		P.S., owner of a Grey NES Zapper, and friend to one who owns a Black Guncon 2.0, who thankfully has enough sense not to wave it around like a 'gat' or whatever the rappers call guns.

	NES Zapper - Now What? - AtariAge Forums
		So, awhile ago, my Zapper stopped working, I figured it was likely the gun itself - well I've now tried 2 more and it still doesn't work, which I assume means something is up with my system itself.
		So it's not really an accuracy issue, it seems to be in input issue with the actual trigger, but since it's happened w/ 3 guns, it seems like it's an internal issue...
		I did just google schematics for the NES and the Zapper, it looks like one of the pins for input is ONLY used for the Zapper trigger pull - I'm thinking maybe mine is bend, damaged in some way.

	NES Information
		Beginning the Nintendo dynasty, the NES was the most successful system to date at its time.
		Introducing the world to games such as Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Metroid, the NES is considered by many to be the start of a dynasty that has captivated the hearts of people across the world.
		While not the most comfortable controller, several variations were made for it, as well as the NES Advantage, the NES Max, and others.

	Snes Central: Super Scope
		This was Nintendo's answer to the original NES Zapper.
		Most likely it is only optionally because the same game was made for the NES and Genesis but those versions were not compatible with light guns as far as I know.
		Although the Super NES Super Scope was a "novelty", Battle Clash 1 and 2 and Tin Star are all excellent games.

	NES/FC Light Guns
		This comes in 2 variants, a white and grey color scheme, and a bright orange and white color scheme, the grey and white scheme is probably a bit rarer, but not much, both are common as dirt and can be had for about $3 or less.
		Much cooler looking than the NES Zapper IMO, it looks kinda like a real piece and not a silly Buck Rogers weapon.
		There is a sight on the gun where you target your onscreen enemy, and you say "fire" to shoot into the attached "Madonna's Mike" positioned just in front of your mouth.

	Zero-Soft - Converting an NES Zapper into a USB Zapper

		The Zapper is one of the more clever controllers to come out of 1984 in my opinion.
		R4 serves to limit the current to the Zapper gun.

		Every time you pull the trigger on the Zapper, the NES redraws the screen a little bit different.
		The zapper has a little sensor that can tell light from dark and if the sensor "sees" a white spot on the screen, it is a hit.
		All data transferred between the NES and the NES cartridge passes through the Game Genie.

		There was really no story and no ending to the game either, just level after level of shooting bad guys that look like mobsters.
		The premise of this game is that you are an agent in training and you need to shoot the bad guys when they appear.

		While these games could technically be played with just the Wii Remote, I’m willing to bet Nintendo will release the Zapper in conjunction with these games to make their purchase even more compelling.
