    Some recent cheap, pelt poorly regulated LED lights flicker on and off at high speeds.

    Would it work with these?

      Well actually pwm is used in everything except really expensive lights. Also if you timed it perfectly maybe?

        Oh I mean awful lights like your get from AliExpress where they’ve essentially just rectified the circuit but not bothered with caps so it’s flickering at 50/60Hz.

          Ohh yeah. I think thats even better for cheating prob because the frequency is lower but i dont know how the game functions exactly so maybe its harder to cheat.

            At best, if it flickers at exactly the same as the framerate (60Hz NTSC or 50Hz PAL), you’ll have a 50% chance. Either you pull the trigger on a light “frame” or a dark one, and it’s followed by the opposite. You can do better than 50% playing normally.
