You do realize that the vast differences in speed between that hardware and modern hardware renders such input lag virtually non-existent on modern computers while emulating?

Like, there's LESS input lag and modern emulators like Higan add input lag to more accurately emulate the weaknesses of the machines the games were made for.

Listen here, fucknugget. I don't give a SHIT about how you play your LE RETRO fucking games. Maybe you played an NES once when you were 10 because your hipster shit big brother brought one home from the epic flea market before he flipped it to buy a new scarf after watching an episode of Pawn Stars and now you think it is cool to like old shit because JonTron told you to do it, but you'll NEVER be accepted among those who actually played this shit YEARS ago and aren't fad-following YouTube kiddies just waiting for your next big find because let's face it, the seond you get your OMG LITTLE HAMPTON you'll be taking fucking pictures of your EPIC HAUL to plaster all over your Facebook group because you are so desperate to fit in. Your Alienware machine running ZSNES with that awful fucking smoothing filter doesn't have shit on anything, got that? Maybe it will hold you over, but don't pretend like you aren't desperate for the real deal so you can start your fucking YouTube collecting channel like Pete fucking Dorr.

You sound just as dumb as OP.

Emulation past the 16 bit era is still pretty choppy.

It's evolved by leaps and bounds - don't get me wrong. I've been able to make disk images of all my Sega CD, Saturn, PS1 and PS2 games because of how far emulation has come... but it's still not 1:1.

Emushits are like vegans.

They put arbitrary limitations on themselves and can't shut the fuck up over how superior they are to everyone else.

Reminder if you didn't play on original hardware you didn't really beat the game.

A flashcart and a console is like $200 or less per console.

That's years of entertainment, if this is your main hobby this is really cheap, any other hobby costs hundreds of dollars a week.

I mean emulation is cool but the original hardware will always be a little better, even if it's just by a hair. Besides, playing with the original hardware reminds me of the good old days....

>>2915173
That doesn't make any sense. Emufags just play on emulators because it's free and convenient. If you want to talk about a group that puts arbitrary limitations, lets look at the people who refuse to play anything except the legit game on the original console. No emulators, no flashcarts, nothing.

Why bother setting up hardware when this is sooo convenient.

It's not just a meme and I'm not trying to be funny but the majority of people on 4chan are NEETs, poor college students or underage and dependent on their parents to buy things for them (imagine convincing your mom to buy a cart with an SD slot to play games twice your age)...

75% of people here have no other choice, so just like that kid whose parents already bought them a TurboGrfx 16 and won't buy them another console... as a mental defense mechanism they have to defend emulation.

If emulators were only available at stores for like 50 bucks and couldn't pirate it, I bet there would be far fewer people who defend it.

For most things I can't tell the difference between the emulation and the original, but for games like Mario I cannot play them for SHIT on emulators, really bad at them. I couldn't believe it because I was good at these as a kid.

Then I got a flashcart and played on my actual SNES and I had no problems. Until this point though I had no idea why, so no elitism from me.

>>2915236
This. I fished an old and I mean older than my old ass old wood console TV out of some old lady's garbage. It was a 1974 zenith. I found a local repair guy and he basically made it new again for $150. I touched up the nicks and dents and now have a like new 1974 zenith just for playing NES on. My wife and kids thought I was insane. The first few weeks I watched cartoons on it in my pajamas while laying on my stomach eating cereal, just to freak them out.

Why is everyone here convinced that normies and hipsters are invading their hobby? I'm the only person I know who buys or even plays retro games. Being enough of a gamer that you're interested in more than the latest open world game or iPhone game is already pretty weird, being interested in 6th gen games or earlier means you're getting into the higher levels of autism.

Retro gaming and collecting isn't very popular, and a couple YouTube videos don't change that.

>>2916117
How are glitches not cheating? Its outside of the developers intent for the games difficulty.

>>2915282
I assume most people who emulate because of cost reasons would just play on a PC because it's free.

Even buying a console and flashcart is cheaper than building even a small collection of games.

>>2916180
More than half of the shit people even call glitches are just abuses of perfectly functional game mechanics. Creating an arbitrary distinction between what the game considers fair and what you consider fair is going full autism.

>>2916180
There's different kind of glitches.

Some "glitches" are akin to someone developing a new throwing technique in Baseball.

Other glitches are like using steroids.

A lot of multiplayer games wouldn't be nearly as fun or popular without the glitches. See Melee or MvC2. It's not cheating if both players have the glith available to them.

eSports teams finding glitches before tournaments and not making them public is pretty sketchy though.

The sporting thing is to try to make the most of every advantage. A competition is about trying to win, not hold hands. If it wrecks the game that's the game developer's fault, not the people who were able to exploit it. Why would they say "hey guys, we found this, we thought we'd let you in on it", it's not a girls' tea party.

In all of the games I know how to glitch in, performing the glitches themselves is a degree of magnitude harder than anything in the game itself.

Performing the glitches so that they offer a legitimate advantage is even harder than that.

If I've gitten so gud that my levels of gitgud transcend what the code is even capable of comprehending, then I damn well deserve to use glitches.

>this is untrue. higan doesn't add any input lag
Higan doesn't but the operating system does. Specifically around controller input polling and sync.

>>2917863

As far as I remember, someone got sick of this autistic meme and actually ran the numbers on both the maximum amount of lag and the minimum difference a human could detect without being some kind of outlier to modern medical science. The results were conclusive that a normally functioning OS, controller, emulator, and computer would result in input lag so imperceptible as to be physically impossible to detect by your average human being (though, the impromptu experiment did appear to assume USB 2.0 or better and a cycle-accurate emulator, I believe).

1. If you use your credit card info to purchase 4chan passes (literally the only way to give Hiro that info) instead of Paypal or buttcoin, you deserve anything you get.
2. Considering 99% of all posting is anonymous and at best linked to an IP, I'm not sure what good that would do.

But keep up the FUD anyway.

>>2917867
A common mistake in reaction-time tests is that it doesn't account for the normal reaction time gap of a person. For example, if someone is having a 120 ms reaction time to any event in a game, and there's an added 30 ms lag/delay in a particular setup, then that person will be exhibiting a 160 ms reaction time.

People often say "well, the lag is below a person's reaction time therefore it's pointless to worry about it", but that's ignoring that it's a compound number. This is why specific TV's have real performance results in competitive gaming.

>>2917873

Hiro was at 2chan before 4chan m8. Things work a bit differently there. Or did, until he was driven out by a fuck-angry digital mob and a hostile takeover from some US Army ex-pat. Then Hiro proceeded to DDOS his own former online home.

I'm quite aware of what happened at 2ch, and I'm not going to pretend Hiro wasn't being a dick. I'm simply pointing to the reality of the situation. There isn't really much data to sell in the first place.

>>2917883

Threads regularly prune on an image board, friend. And I am _not_ digging around in a 4chan archive for the last year+ of /vr/ to find one part of one thread.

It was just something I remember being posted that I found funny as all hell at the time, because, like now, even that was not enough for the "Original Hardware" autists. They just kept arguing until no one would argue back (also known as the "last word defense") and the thread slid off of page 10.

>>2917863
>Specifically around controller input polling and sync
RetroArch supports parallel port input if you really care.

>>2917867
All latency harms gaming performance no matter whether you notice it or not. 1ms can make the difference between barely succeeding and failure. Depending on the game there could be thousands of times where success depends on reaction time, and some of them you'll pass only by a very narrow margin. With only a tiny amount of added latency those would have been failures.

>>2917898

>There isn't really much data to sell in the first place.

Here there isn't. In Japan post history can be combined with credit card number and IP address and sold to the rising-power conservative party to establish popular sentiment and purchasing history. 'Chans are not quite the same over there: a much larger cross-section of the population uses them (rather than....Erm...What 4chan's userbase consists of).

>>2917894

That's the one bright spot: until 4chan got popular m00t had almost no involvement with the Feds, if any law enforcement. Once they knocked on his door (figuratively; I don't think they actually no-knock raid'ed him or anything), he didn't put up any fight. Some might see that as cowardly, but to be realistic I don't think there was any stopping the government. These days there almost never is.

I do think it was cowardly to allow them unrestricted on-demand access to the site without trying to warn people or simply taking the high-road and saying "That's all, folks!".

Well there's nothing wrong with asking that question, it's the people saying to emulate that are shitposting in that situation. Complaining about how people choose to enjoy their games is the problem here, if you want to emulate that's fine, if you want to play on physical hardware is fine too.

My sisters fiancé is in the process of digging out his old games from his and is parents lofts because he knows a lot of people who collect old games who've told him the prices have recently gone up and now's a good time to sell them. My friend, who collects megadrive games, told me last night his barber also collects megadrive games.

Depending on what hardware you're using, you can tell the difference. Most notable difference for me is the sound. Use a gameboy emulator on an android device and compare a game's music to the gameboy original, there is a big difference in sound quality.

Some fighting games have techniques that require a 2 or 1 frame window to preform in a 60fps game. Any lag that is above 16.66ms will effect gameplay. That's science.

Why the fuck wouldn't you? There's really little reason not to be. Besides let's be honest here, you're discussing input lag.

You don't go and bitch, well you'd notice the speed difference in nascar racing when the nascar racer drives an ice cream truck.

>>TL;DR you're wrong and listen to me-me's created by people who think they understand emulation.

I play retro games for a living for my youtube channel, we emulate and use original hardware, emulation is not the best option and DOES cause more input lag than the real hardware

I love emulation, growing up i played a shitload of old dos based emulators because my computer was slow as shit and I didn't have a console. With that said as an adult i prefer real hardware.

I have played multiple games on both modern emulation and hardware and you really can feel the difference. Try playing super mario world, the input difference is astonishing.

There is no major console that is expensive. Even the "prized" AV Famicom is $80, you can still get loose NES, SNES, MD and N64 for $20.

>reaction time is relevant to input lag at all


I hate everyone

consider having a 250ms reaction time.

Consider having 200ms of input lag

"oh it's ok because it's less than 250 so you can't react to it!"

except congratulations that's wrong.

What if something happens where you have to press 'jump' in 350ms or you die.

without the input lag, you'd make it.
With the input lag you'd die. It's really not that complex.

The WiiU VC sucks complete ass
The Wii VC is better.
The virtual Wii VC is better. (I think it's the same as the Wii because it's actually Wii hardware or something)

I was excited to play Mario World and other SNES titles on the gamepad, but it sucks.

Then I was excited for Mario Maker. But surprise, it's not actually Mario World, it's some other game in a Mario World skin.

So the WiiU was disappointing as far as Mario World goes.
And 3DS doesn't even have fucking GBA or SNES games, so I can't enjoy Mario World on it either.

>>2920919

>but it sucks

...why? Your argument so far is terrible. I beat Kirby Superstar on the Wii U on co-op with a friend and it was great!

>>2914947
For neogeo the difference is pretty obvious.

The raster effect ( flickering transparency ) many games use doesn't work properly without a CRT running at the original framerate.

It doesn't look transparent on emulators - it just flickers. On some games, that use it extensively it's downright eye straining to look at.
That's why ports usually replace it with real transparency.
For pretty much all fighters, that use it:

neo > DC/ps2 port > emulator

for some ports the DC port is more expensive than the MVS cart - so no - i'm not rationalizing burnt money

>>2920943
his argument is about the input lag, did you even read the other fucking posts

If winning by any means possible is absolutely the most important thing, then how come no serious Super Turbo champion plays as Akuma, the indisputably best character? Oh, right, it's because people that actually care about competition understand something called "the spirit of the game" and how it's more fun to play something with balance and variety instead of having everyone do the same boring thing. I swear, it's like most of you don't even like playing video games. You just want to exploit game's system and get it over with as fast as possible so you can get validation from the machine. I bet you use the pause glitch against the Yellow Devil and then justify it by talking about how hard the fight is when it's just the same pattern over and over.

Doublenigger, SSF2 Turbo arcade board has the same amount of lag as GroovyMAME with 1000 MHz controller input.

And with your "original hardware" you can't even flip the output and then turn your TV upside down in order to draw the initial lines where the characters appear at the bottom (formerly top).

>input lag

Why have I been seeing this pop up everywhere when it comes to retro vidya?

I've never noticed it in any shape or form on flatscreens, crts, on consoles, emulators, or anything else.

Is this some stupid new non-existent complaint? Even if it is a thing, what's the fucking difference between 1/10000 of a second and 1/100000 of a second? Are you a bunch of mlg watching faggots or something?

And for you op, yeah I do notice a difference when my game works on the hardware it was intended to run on vs a slapped together frankenstein of an emulator like pj64 or some shit.

>>2922480
10 frames of lag when running 240p signals on an HDTV is fucking significant. I'm not sure if you're blind or just not paying attention. Stuff like mega man is completely unplayable if you just hook your NES up to your LCD.

Everything else is indeed splitting hairs though, in terms of emulator vs console or whatever else.

Your average human is a mouth breather. Measuring averages is fucking retarded for shit. The average person doesn't get raped in the ass by large burly men, therefore it happens to no one. Also what's known doesn't change what is. I can't detect a bullet coming out of a gun but it can still have a pretty devastating effect on me.

>>2922480
I've had it on a few setups before. Specific configuration can make a large difference as well.
Even if it is a thing, what's the fucking difference between 1/10000 of a second and 1/100000 of a second?
Not much. Which is why we're actually discussing input lag on an order enough to cause significant frame delay for input instead. But good job on responding like a troll instead of someone trying to have a discussion.

>>2923195

Most retarded post of the fucking new year. Without averages we wouldn't have lots of shit this dumbass likely enjoys on a daily basis (MP3 compression is one of them).

What a fucking mong.

>>2917908
So what you're saying is that beating a game on emulator is EVEN MORE of an accomplishment than on original hardware, because you defeated lag.

>>2923215
Fuck you mouth breather.
Averages tell you what you might expect not the limits of possibility.
>Without averages we wouldn't have lots of shit this dumbass likely enjoys on a daily basis (MP3 compression is one of them).
Except that MP3 passes all double blinds against it and is 100% comparable in hearing to a digital CD without fault. That's not average, that's the limit. You can't more definitive than not a single person has the capability to detect the range here.
Likewise, a lot of people have average hearing and encode as abysmally low rates like 128K cuz, it's good enough I can't hear the difference and you end up with a fucking terrible recording on a perfectly acceptable format. OGG's better though since it's similar enough in compression and it's also free licensed.

TL;DR pack your shit and fuck off.

Not with HDTVs without the right ports, some don't have a game mode, and what is regionlock and mod chips?

I'm fine with emulation as a casual solution or to play things I don't own but playing on original hardware still feels more real. I have a CRT attached with various SD quality consoles.

>It doesn't look transparent on emulators - it just flickers.
It just flickers on original hardware too. Flicker transparency is always an ugly hack. And it looks the same on emulators, assuming they're correctly configured (1:1 emulated:displayed frame ratio). Note that this requires using vsync as the master timing source, which means audio will glitch unless you're using dynamic rate control. AFAIK RetroArch is the only software that gets this right.

>>2924768
RetroArch doesn't emulate anything. Correctly or otherwise.

most emulators have a motion blur trick to make the flicker look better

>>2925678
You mean input lag? I THINK mednafen and epsxe 1.8 should run it right.

To be honest it's not a hard game, once you've unlocked every character there's not much else to do.

>>2925680
>epsxe 1.9
Fix

If you just like to play video games there is nothing wrong with emulators or buying. The real cancer are collectorfags who buy games primarly for collecting and owning the product instead of playing and beating it.

>>2915070

>I need a $2000 dollar gaming rig to play a 2 mb rom

>>2925756
Yeah, I never understood this. Snes9x does me just fine

>>2925756
You don't need a gaming rig to run Higan/BSNES. You just need a good CPU. The graphics card does literally nothing for emulating SNES games. I have an i5-3570K that I'm not even overclocking and it runs Higan flawlessly.

>>2922503
He's beatable but requires immense luck, unlike every other character in the game that has a pattern that you COULD memorize to beat on an LCD, Tyson is impossible because he's the only guy in the game to throw actual random blows and you need split second reflexes... at least in the first round.

>>2925756
I don't understand why you'd spend $2000 for a 99.9% experience when you could buy most of the original hardware and flashcarts for $1000.

I think they're "spiting themselves to prove a point" like the people who become fucked up drug addicts just to hurt mom and dad.
