Really?

Everyone knows exactly why. One of the oscillators drifts a bit because that's something that happens with time. it's enough to necessitate workarounds for some TAS runs of Super Metroid

This is why emulation is more accurate for most consoles at this point. Using original hardware is just a plastic fetish.

I would not have expected clock drift to effect TAS playback. A TAS playback device should derive its timing from the controller port reads, so why would the system running a little faster effect anything?
>>
>>11634743
TAS input playback is done by the frame.
>>
It's because time is speeding up so everything seems faster.

board rot. as the motherboard deteriorates, this effectively overclocks the system. my snes was left in a closet full of moths and now mario runs almost as fast as sonic.
>>
>>11634771
What do you mean by that specifically. Do you mean they derive their timing from the v-sync signal of the video output? Even doing it that way it should still not usually matter, maybe in some corner case during a lag frame?

Also, in regards to TAS being done on frames. I have always thought that is highly retarded. I made my own tas playback device once, and I based it on controller reads rather than frames. When you use controller reads instead of frames it becomes much more resistant to desyncs.

This. Our savior Higan-person created a cycle accurate(i.e. completely perfect) SNES emulator because they saw this would happen in a vision.
>>
>>11634909
Nearly all "journalists" are just plagiarists.
>>
>>11634886
It's done by the frame of the video output, about 60 inputs a second (or more with multiple controllers). If the game slows down or speeds up slightly, it "desyncs" the input schedule from the game and the whole rest of the run is ruined.

You have to admit it's fun to play games on original hardware if you can or else you never have. I have a Genesis and NES hooked up to a CRT with only a couple of games for each and it's a fun conversation piece. You're most likely never going to be in a situation where a regular person wants to play a game from a giant listed of emulated roms but if they see you have a console sitting around they might be eager to play.

NES is the only console I can name with a known advertised 100% accurate emulator period. Which is why I mentioned it.

Why are you so afraid of answering the question? Just name a 99%+ accurate emulator.

Most people aren't interested in playing retro games period. They'll gladly watch some e-celeb talking about a retro game and playing it poorly, and talk about that e-celeb, but they have no interest in playing themselves.

People like to say they are interested in old games, the majority of them don't actually want to play those old games. They are hard, clunky, and lacking modern QoL features the modern generation can't do without. Running out of lives/continues means losing all progress? Having to explore around or draw your own maps? That's so clunky man!

>>11635163
people pretend that 1 frame of latency makes emulated games unplayable, while simultaneously playing real hardware on an lcd tv in "game mode" which adds far more latency

Playing on the original hardware will always be the most pure, authentic and accurate option. Anything else is just cope.

Emulators can't keep up due to inferior speed, this is why speed runners prefer original hardware which works as intended

I had something like this happen to me a few times, which is partially why I sold all of my shit and started emulating exclusively. The thought of sinking exhorbitant amounts of money into hardware that will be half a century old before long just doesn't make sense. Emulation is basically a solved problem for 6th gen and under outside of Xbox and Saturn; and now that this old shit is starting to deteriorate to the point where even the accuracy is questionable, I just don't see the point anymore unless your goal is to sip chocolate milk, play dying hardware and pretend you're 10 years old again.
>>
>>11634620
no the retard who made that claim has his brain slowing down so the games seem faster.
>>
>>11635279
that would only be true for CD games. the data layer in a DVD is sandwiched between plastic
>>
>>11634625
Isn't it just the oscillator for the sound chip and not the oscillator for the actual CPU? IIRC the CPU's oscillator uses a quarts crystal which does not drift, but the one used for the sound chip is of a cheaper material that has since broken down a bit making it vibrate a little faster than it was meant to.

But yeah, the SNES isn't really "running faster", just the sound is by a tiny amount, and everyone knows exactly why, the "nobody knows why" is some really bad clickbait considering the articles I read with the same headline explained exactly why in the very article.
>>
>>11635042
Depends on the game and hardware.
I don't think you gain shit from playing NES games on real hardware, but GBA benefits a ton from it.

>>11635917
There's nothing empty about saying that a system with no distinct hardware features offers little by way of using the actual hardware and the reverse.

As long as you're playing on a CRT, you're getting the NES experience. Meanwhile, on GBA, you're just not getting a display with the right display res and speaker quality and the intended lack of brightness the sprite art of several games was built around via emulation.

This isn't difficult stuff.
>>
>>11635925
Sure it is, your subjective preference is not an objective fact
stop acting like it is
>>
>>11635925
GBA looks way too garish on any kind of normal display. And even if you use color correction a lot of those games have those annoying ghost trails for your character that can't be removed. It looks best on a front lit gba sp.
>>
>>11635930
Captain Autism over here.
>>11635938
I think some games work best on the base, unlit unit. Golden Sun, Magical Vacation, Sabre Wulf, Harmony of Dissonance, Mega Man Battle Network 1-3, etc. Most stuff from late 03 and on is best with a backlight though, yeah.

I've got a frontlit SP and a ITA modded base GBA. The SP works best for the games that were very specifically tuned for the unlit and frontlit screens. The ITA works for everything else.
>>
Ideally GBA would get a screen that lets you swap between color modes on the fly so you can just fucking get it LOOKIN GOOD every time

Nah, mostly local Cali fags and a lot of South Americans on J1 work visa's. The J1's are mostly rich kids from South America on vacation who are "working" so their parents get off their back. The locals are a mix of stoner kids from around the state and the mountain folk who live locally around China Peak. If you are looking for people actually interested in playing retro games, I recommend retro-focused arcades. People go there specifically to play retro games, and most of them are willing to play anything from what I've seen.

>>11636806
>implying that makes a difference
I've tried all sorts of games. Co-op beat-em-ups, racing games, fighting games, platformers, people just aren't interested. I can even get relatives interested in playing Sega Marine Fishing with the fishing rod controller on Dreamcast, but I tried that one year at a ski lodge in Colorado, and no one was even interested in trying out the game. It's as casual-friendly a game as you can get, has very good graphics that have aged well, and doesn't require a new player to read the manual before they can play. Not one person was interested, including the four guys who just spent an hour talking about AVGN and how much they love retro games.
A large part of the retro game community is a bunch of posers who want people to think they like retro games, when they will never touch one willingly. Given how many people felt personally attacked enough by my comment to scream autism, makes me think more than a few people here are a part of that crowd.
