  1. The DCDigital (Formerly DCHDMI) doesn't interfere with analog/VGA output of the console. So it'll still output as normal. The lightconn plugs into the controller port for power and bluetooth, grabs sync from a tiny wite running out of a VGA adapter, and a wii sensor bar provides the InfraRed light sources for triangulation of the wii sensor in the lightgun. If I remember correctly, the VGA just needs to be plugged into the console. I'm not sure if the other end needs to hooked up to a TV or not. I always have mine hooked up to my OSSC via VGA and from the DC Digital out port to my TV via HDMI. That works, if you're far enough back from the TV for the IR camera to see the whole screen and calibrate. There is lag, just like a Wii remote. So don't expect a miracle. If you need a wider angle, you can use a cell phone wide angle lens. It affects accuracy, but allows you to get closer to the screen.

  2. What a shady bunch of dick wads! What a load of BS: https://www.reddit.com/r/retrogaming/comments/dryyqk/kaico_retroscaler2x_response/ They are off the shelf parts, but they clearly took Mike's design and just "slightly" modified it, and that's a stretch giving them that much credit. It's a blatant lazy ass rip-off, and anyone can tell it. I wouldn't give these idiots a penny!

  3. I trust Voultar, but I don't know this guy. I think he goes a little overboard, but I think theres enough to confirm my suspicions about Kaico. Namely that they are yet another shady cash grab 3rd party Retro gaming company peddling other peoples hard work as their own. I hadn't heard of them prior to seeing the Dreamcast cable posted earlier in this tread, which I suspected was a clone of the Pound cable. I've heard anecdotal evidence that it's much better, but now I wonder if it's just a retrotink2x. I haven't seen any breakdowns of the internal chipset, but I'm damn suspicious now. At $30 it's a tempting solution. Makers like Mike Chi and others contribute to the retro gaming scene and make it awesome. I just wish this kind of intellectual theft didn't hurt them. And shame on twitter for taking down photographic evidence of the theft! Enablers!
