I was wondering what the best option is for playing retro games on an LCD screen. Which option would produce these least amount of lag?

I was thinking of trying either a PC with various emulators, a Wii /w component video, an android box, an android phone or a console like retro freak or retron 5.

You don't need to bump a thread after 17 minutes around here.

The best option is PC

Why not Wii over VGA?
>>
There's many factors to consider here.

Get a low latency LCD. Check here: https://displaylag.com/display-database/

Do NOT use wireless controllers if lag matters. Use wired whenever you can, and if it's a retro controller-to-pc adapter, research it to see how much lag it introduces

Lag will very wildly emulator to emulator, and even operating system. Wii is a good bet, overall.

If all else fails, the best way to do this is to use an origional console with an Everdrive, connected through OSSC (Open Source Scan Converter). You won't get lag less than that unless you use a CRT.

Lag is just a meme. Make a test with snes9x, bsnes and real hardware and you will see it by yourself

Who cares if you dont notice it

Is Wii over VGA somehow better than component?

It likely results in less input lag on an LCD, not having to pass through video processing circuits and all.

Of course you won't notice if you only play slow paced platformers. If you're seriously into fighters or shmups, you'll notice it.

There are some games where its very noticeable, for a example Megaton Punch in Kirby superstar, no way you can play that with 100 ms lag

VGA is an analog signal same as component they should have similar input delay - although VGA cables probably tend to be of a higher average quality.

I agree.

Hell, I noticed it playing Super Mario World. I thought I had suddenly started sucking at that game until I switched back to a CRT.

What's the best flat "17-20" TV for playing PS1 games?

>>3964492
Weird thing to say when shmupmame and groovymame can produce lag lower than the actual arcade boards.

libretro with most cores in KMS mode will produce less than 1 frame over original consoles.

They may both be analogue but one is primarily intended for computer display and as such is not usually subjected to the same "enhancement" baloney when fed to a flat panel display.
