The GBS-Control project is a software + hardware hack that converts cheap GBS boards from laggy, low-quality scalers into an amazing tool for your retro gaming setup!

A demo was just posted of a really interesting adapter that allows a Namco GunCon for the PlayStation to be used on any HID USB compatible device that outputs to a CRT.
