Hook of the Reaper and Blamcon
In early 2025, I got my hands on a pre-alpha Blamcon light gun. The pre-alpha light gun is very different from the regular manufactured light guns. I researched the device, and debugged the problems that I saw. Then wrote out a report to the Blamcon team. Blamcon and I were very happy that the light gun that I had was a pre-aplha light gun. There was a small problem with Blamcon's regular light guns, but was very small and only affected like two people. There was confusion, as people thought the problem I saw was the same as this problem. It was not, and was very different. The small problem with the regular light gun could be handled with a software update. I also made changes to the Hook of the Reaper program to make it better. After that, the small amount of people affected say there are no problems for a long time. So there is no issues with Blamcon and Hook of the Reaper, for awhile now. I regret not contacting Blamcon earlier, to learn about the pre-alpha sooner. But Blamcon found that the report was useful, and talked to them more about other things. Then Blamcon went above and beyond to make the best core circuit in the business, with a fully isolated controller. The have the best core design in my honest opinion as an electrical engineer. In the end, the problem has been solved long ago. Have no worries with a Blamcon and Hook of the Reaper.
