Are there any among you who aren't obese, brain-fogged, cheese-gobbling creatures who know what its like to be healthy? If so, can tell me how the Steam Deck is for emulation. I assume I have to go through retro arch. Please, only respond if you have experienced original hardware or close to it.

      You all have autism. Different kinds but holy shit.

      Any input lag is unacceptable.

      Every mouse, keyboard, console, emulator, receiver, etc.... all have input lag of varying amounts. Yes even your SNES has several "frames" worth of delay before it reaches the output headed to the CRT.

        To add to your point about input lag a typical SNES game on real hardware has a 50ms input delay on a CRT screen which is about 16.6 frames and some change.

        There was actually a thread just like this made not even 24 hours ago. Janny deleted it for no reason, but the entire thread was full of people claiming they could "feel" 1-2ms of added input lag. My favorite by far was the guy claiming he'd be able to notice a half a frame of added input lag, meaning he can not only comprehend, but also discern microseconds.
        Honestly pretty fascinating that a board where posters should be in their late 20s at the earliest have the brain function of a 12 year old who needs a "gamer chair" and think they have the abilities of the fricking Flash.

        I do love reading that kind of shit. If they were capable of perceiving less than 10ms their phones would be a giant blur anytime they watched a video or animation on it. If they could perceive 10ms they'd be able to notice the scrolling of a CRT electron beam as a kind of thin ever so slightly darkened band rolls down the screen as the beam takes about 8ms to get from the top to the bottom of the screen.

          50ms is 3-4 frames, not 16, even a complete normie would notice that much.

          Anyway I don't see how "SNES already has lag" is an argument against trying to reduce it.
          There's already a delay and you don't want to add on top of it compounding lag from crappy emu/pad/display until it gets noticeable.

    real hardware 1ms 240hz gaming monitor
    the games will only run at 60hz obv
    so i recommend doing the "ufo test" at 60fps and see if its too blurry/teary/shitty

    retrotink 2x pro or (ossc equivalent if you dont mind the time involved fricking with it)

    you dont NEED a crt
    but it is much cheaper and easier

    emulation can still be fun
    play a game you could never beat anyways to completion and savescum through it

    99.99% video games work fine even with minor input lag, no matter how hard retro troons try to gaslight you into thinking otherwise. The amount of games that would require zero input lag is so small it's almost irrelevant. Yeah you won't be able to do something like hypertap in NES Tetris to keep scoring after level 30. Guess what, you'll never even get to that level even if you play NES tetris on OG hardware for the next 15 years, because almost nobody does. If you can't beat old difficult platformers and similar games, it's always your fault. You're not "sensitive to input lag", you're a b***h that can't accept you lack skill. Blaming your lack of skill on technology is literal DSP-tier coping mechanism

        Input lag that exists on almost all consoles, controllers, emulators and screens these days.

        Any input lag is unacceptable.

        Better KYS then, considering that the entire universe operates on input lag caused by the speed of light and a few other constants.

    After playing original hardware back in the day I have no longer come to care about these troll threads and I simply emulate now for the superior convenience and indistinguishable quality from the original hardware.

      you carry a strong delusion
      emulation is filled with inaccuracies
      some systems take well to it & if you have a good usb controller and gaming monitor it IS serviceable

      but to say it outperforms in every regard is misleading as frick:

      analog gen 2 systems, anything that uses a trackball, light gun titles, sega saturn, n64, ps2, etc

        >n64
        Playing at higher resolution and framerate and occasional widescreen support with a few minor graphical glitches always beats playing an accurate blurry mess at 15fps with a garbage controller.
        It was true 15 years ago when emulators only managed to play 90% of N64's library ( Mario, Zelda, Goldeneye) and it's even truer now with the new plugins. That's why console fetishists cope with memes like Flashcarts, RGB mods, PVMemes upscalers, deblur gameshark codes...

        It’s indistinguishable for most things most people will play on most systems.
        I don’t think it outperforms in every regard. It doesn’t outperform at all usually. But it’s close enough for everything I want to do that I would never want original hardware again.

      Display lag is how long it takes for a pixel going from one color to the next. Its about how much an image might ghost/blur.
      You're thinking about input delay, moron.

        And you are mixing up pixel response time with display lag. Display lag and monitor input lag are used interchangeably.

        Op was talking about total lag from all sources (rambling about his 144hz monitor paired with a wired controller). When discussing and adding up multiple sources of input lag you can refer to controller lag and display lag to be more clear as to what forms of input lag you are talking about.

          Any Herman miller mesh chair outclasses any gamer chair on the planet. Easily. Comfort and ergonomics are perfect.

          Gamer chairs are always high back and every gamer you ever see using one, they are leaning forward anyway. Unless you are playing some comfy 4x most gamers are not ever even leaning back j to the chair.
