Do you have a technical question that doesn't really fit a specific console? Want some general info on electronics, hacking, making cookies, etc? Here's the place to ask! Go nuts.

Tiger TV paintball game hack / NOAC / Rifle Shell Mod

Post by PatTassium »

I'm tackling a new project, and I expect it to expand my limitations in electronics and programming. I have found a Tiger TV Paintball lightgun game for very cheap, and I want to mod the game and the case.

Most likely, I'm never going to be able to pull the original game data off the chip, and there's no telling if I'll be able to reprogram the chip itself, but the lightgun components, the automatic slide and part of the casing is worth salvaging. The thing works great, I just want a better game then 'paintball'!

What I'd like to do is take an existing ROM, Terminator 2: The Arcade Game for the Genesis, and graphics-swap the sprites and such to make it into a STARSHIP TROOPERS shooting game. If it is possible to use the lightgun components in a newer shell made to look like the Morita Rifles from the film, I'd have a TV light gun all-in-one rifle.

To do this, I'm going to add a Cart Slot to my Radica V.1 GOAC, and construct the programmable cart from raphnet.

Let me know what you think! I'm mostly a graphics / fabrication geek, so if someone digs this project and can insert sprites if I can crank 'em out, I'd appreciate it!
