Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a baseball simulation device configured to provide an input for various baseball video games being played on gaming platforms such as a personal computer, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, XBOX, XBOX360, and the like. In one embodiment, the simulation device includes a signal emitter assembly (164, 166) attached to a bat (160), and detector assembly (132, 134, 136) on a base unit (130) shaped like a home plate. Various techniques for detecting different batting moves, such as hits to different directions, bunts, or checked swing, are disclosed. In one embodiment, the base unit can receive a conventional game controller for the gaming platform, thereby allowing operation of the gaming platform without having to remove the simulation device. In one embodiment, the base unit also has changeable firmware that allows different configuration for playing of different baseball video games.
