As the subject suggests.
On my usual daily rounds of all the places I store in my favorites folder, I came across this new addition.
http://www.romhacking.net/documents/658/It got me thinking. Is it possible to hack a ROM that uses the Super Scope to be compatible with the Konami Justifier?
speaking out of my ass here:
HA!!! GoOd Luck!!! <3
Anythings possible,
My lack of experience is the only thing saving me from telling you how long or difficult said task could take.
I figured as much, sounded too good to be true. Someone would have already done it if it was easy.
Frankly,
we don't know that for sure <3
Might be easier to hack it in hardware...

I don't understand the subject. Are you asking if it's possible to patch ROMs? Or do you want to know if the Justifier's Start button input can be used to reprocude the Scope's Pause/Turbo/Cursor inputs?
He's asking if you can patch a game to work with the other light gun. He linked to some Super Scope BIOS/library and is probably thinking by patching this to accept the Justifier that you could allow it to work with Super Scope games. It's an interesting idea if every Super Scope game essentially has an identical library/bios for controlling the Super Scope.

Exactly, I have an SD2SNES flashcart, would be nice if there was a way to patch the ROM's to work with the Justifier instead.
The Super Scope and the Justifier register "hits" from the scanlines on the screen totally differently,
plus the super scope has 2 more buttons that the Justifier does not. I had the same dream at one
point and then, as I am telling you now, I had it explained to me it wasn't a dream it's a nightmare.
The idea is to replace libscope, which reads positions the way a Super Scope outputs them, with a wrapper around libjustifier, which reads positions the way a Justifier outputs them, that translates the result into what libscope client expect. Besides, I was under the impression that they both read beam position by using the HV latch connected to IO2.
