content: Hi, not sure if this is the right forum. But...Here's the situation. I play a "game", in which all players have an ir remote.There's a random countdown. After the countdown ends, the later you press your button, the more you win. But, you must be the first to press it. If someone else presses it before you, you get nothing. If a player presses the button on his remote before the countdown ends, he looses money.Each remote will only work every 1 second. And the countdown goes quite fast. So, you only get a chance in every game.I want to get a device that, when it reads my remote's code, blasts ir packets at all the common carrier frequencies for a second or so (jamming all remotes), and then blasts my own remote's code a few times.I've ordered an ir learner from command fusion, to learn my remote's code. They also have a blaster, but I'm not sure if it can jam the other remotes for so long. ( I think it has a 1000 bit limit).Can you help me out?

content: And besides that I fail to see how that would be any useful in the first place. Sounds like this device would require you to press your button first so that it starts jamming the others - but when you do that you're putting your "bet" at the same time and the game is over anyway, so the device is useless.

content: Hexreader may have gone about it the wrong way being under the influence, but what would you expect coming here to ask on a public forum for someone to do something dishonest for money. Even if there is no profit in it for you, it's still a bit cheeky. If you want to do something dishonest, fine, that's on you. But to come here as a new member (as in very few posts) to ask others to do it for you is more than a bit inappropriate. I'm sure there are more appropriate hacker/maker sites to approach for this.Take this for what it is, constructive criticism. I believe I am not being rude or displaying a crappy attitude. I have been a member for awhile now and I doubt that you will find someone willing to help on this. At least, I would hope so. Ade was kind enough to point you in a direction of exploration. Such an endeavor doesn't advance the hobby any and can cast a negative pall over the forum.By the way, welcome to the Blog, it's a neat place to learn stuff.

Because surely to prevent cheating the game hardware would be kept by a neutral game host and provided to you when playing, so that you couldn't change things so the game receiver doesn't pick up your remote, or use another remote it doesn't know about but can trigger the cheating device?
