I'm a blind dad. Anyone think this would work for me? Does it register hit or miss when a peg is placed? What's difference from standard game?

Hi. Not sure it would work for you, but it is worth a try.The game does not register a peg. It only registers a hit or miss. You have to put in the number of players, ship layout and confirm. Good luck.

It does not say hit or miss when the peg is placed, you have to enter the coordinance you want into the key pad. Then it says the coordinance and if its a hit or miss. Its just a talking version of the regular game, though it does have other strategic actions you can take vs. the standard game.

It does register a hit when a player places a peg in correct space for your ships. Sitting it up May be a bit difficult. You do hae to program the spaces where your ships are placed. It does not automatically register the locations of the ships

I would need a lil' bit more info as to what size peg, and where do you want to put the pegs? Not sure what "prize wheel" is...but I would not mind answering if you want to elaborate on your project :)

Per grandson: "The jitter mod is pretty good". Nana: "Are there any challenges with it?" Grandson: "Nope. Just the triggers". Hope this helps :)

Half of the time, I couldn't get it to work period. The engineer at SwingSmart said that it may be due to me not coming to a complete stop before I started my swing, something to do with the system detecting the start of the swing. It is supposed to work whether you hit the ball or not, but that was not my experience.

I did post a fix for this that has helped many until leap frog gets around to it. I am a parent that has one of these and was not seeing any progress with a fix from leap frog so I took matters into my own hands. I posted my fix here http://jdrwebnow.net/leapster2_fix.html.

I actually haven't tried that out, I can test it out in a bit. Update: I have tested it on Ubuntu 12.04. Nothing extra to do for the controller or adapter to be detected. I gave it a go on the zsnes emulator and configured the inputs and it worked out fine for every button. Played Super Mario World on it and everything responded like it would when I'm using windows. I have yet to try other games/programs on Ubuntu.

I'm sorry, I can't offer any suggestion. My little guy is only 2, was born with cleft pallet so basically we use this to encourage speech in naming the animals. We haven't actually used them to play the game as described.

I wouldn't bother, the screen is very small and hard to see. No instructions on how to play games, neither I nor his parents were able to teach much about it to 3.5 yo grandson, so he quickly lost interest. Plays more with tech tablet and regular tablet games.

the response is fast like 5 to 10 seconds later of what you say, it only works when you say something to Pete up close. if you do not interact with Pete, and then you do it does work as long as the on switch is on.

I actually returned this game and bought one with a backlit screen for my husband, who has been playing handheld solitaire for years. He has never complained about not being able to win. Never heard that one before. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Mine moves but then recenters. 3mm is very small. It may not be reasonable to expect less tolerance. I don't know if the slop can be adjusted out, perhaps ask the manufacturer. Does that movement generate a signal? If not it shouldn't matter. If so, many games provide the option of setting a dead zone. I hope you can work it out.

Also, there is a good amount of discussion about it on BGG forums: http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/541461/making-rftg-color-blind-friendly

if you tap it while in 'ON' mode it will respond. The button is only for demos while in the box. It is meant to work while adventuring!! There are many more sayings in the 'ON' mode and my son will sit and tap it on his foot to hear them all...or just to make me a little nuts;) Enjoy!!

i have been trying for days to do this..my leap pad is useless because the screen tells me to connect to computer but when i do it says tuning up leap pad...gets to 5% and stops...I have disabled firewall, I have tried a 32 bit computer..i have uninstalled and installed and called leap frog and still have useless leap pad...so annoying because its supposed to be a top toy..

I'm thinking so was looking at it for a 6 year old rather then innotab or leap pad. I also checked out the getjar markplace and they have several games we can get for them all free as well. Other reveiwers also said that you can put amazon market place on to it.

Not sure at all, the game functions and plays normally. Likely a description of what one may do with it, add it to your collection/stockpile

Hi, if you mean the Atari game pack on the iPad, then yes, I've found it to work with every game I've tried. Obviously it doesn't work as well with games like Tempest that require a wheel, but it does still work.
