If you want to use lightguns, then don't use PicoPSU. I had a friend's DC here, equipped with gdemu and picopsu. Mine with only gdemu. I tested his DC with House of the Dead 2 and we had almost no hits. 1 out of 10 shots would hit. We tried calibration, and the crosshair was jittering across a big area. Tried it with mine, every shot was a hit. Swapped the PSU, and now on mine there was also no chance to hit anything.

Do you have any information about a New version of dchdmi ?
I'm dreaming about it ^^

Ian, you could probably figure this out but someone needs to come up with an external PSU adapter that uses the original PSU. All you would do remove it from the console and install it into an external "power brick" sort of thing and wire it up with an included wire. You would even use your original power cable.
