New Update "L" Shoulder Button
Posted by Retro Fighters (Creator)
Backer3x For backers only
Hello Everyone,
We wanted to let everyone know that we have completed the update on the "L" shoulder button. We had to modify the left side by moving the "hook" on the plastic shoulder button piece.
We are in the process of building these and we expect it to be available to ship around late July / early August.
Have a great weekend!
Thank you!

Not sure if this has been posted already... this kickstarter needs some love :)
Modern Mallard modifies your existing copy of Duck Hunt and your existing Zapper to work on modern TVs, like LCD or LED TVs. By modifying the Zapper to be sensitive to the screens of modern TVs and by modifying the game on the fly to accommodate the lag inherent to modern TVs, Modern Mallard allows the game to function like you remember. Once modified, the Zapper and game cartridge look completely stock from the outside.

I've seen this on a few other forums. It's a really cool project and I hope they succeed. But, for me, that's way too much money to just play Duck Hunt.

Just realized they don't ship outside US, so I won't be getting it :(
This significantly reduces their market size and chances to hit theit goal.

I saw the guys from the Retro Roundtable talking about that on Twitter, they're basically saying it's next to impossible for that to work properly
