How do you hook up your NES to an OSSC?

Did you build your own OSSC with composite inputs or is your NES RGB modded? I finally saved up for an NES, and I'm looking/saving to get it RGB modded, but for now I have to use the Framemeister's composite inputs, but I would love to use the OSSC instead.

No they fucking don't "do that anyway" idiot. First of all, HDTV's will likely only have composite or, if you're lucky, component RCA ports as the only analogue options. Second of all, modern HDTVs fucking suck at 240p scaling. Some can't do it at all outside of composite. Some can't even do 480i or 480p scaling properly, and are only optimised for 720p and 1080p to 4k. The entire fucking point of an external scaler is that with an external scaler you can buy something specific to what you're scaling, rather than praying that your TV's scaler can do what you want properly.

No kidding, but it's still not at a saturation point which is completely made up with this topic. Firstly, anyone who really wants a Saturn can get one. Secondly, the number of people in the future willing to adapt will shrink, that is the nature of everything. Just like only the "elite" can build their own arcade, someday in the future that may be true of SOME home consoles.

The difference being the overall cost. Comparing the two, arcade games dwarf consoles in every single way-and with MAME no one is saying "oh, the arcade game thing is at saturation point..uh oh." And speaking of the future, what with everything being emulated now, why are you so sure things won't get even better? MAME was unthinkable in the early '90s because of space limitations alone. That was a span of just what...7 years? Get me?

Modern OLED's can already (near) perfectly emulate the look of CRTs with 4k filters, and they have the same excellent black levels and close to the same motion clarity as CRTs now. I would just switch to those and emulate if you're not planning on using CRTs

The only hill that hasn't been tackled is input lag, and even then OLED's are only short of fast response 'gamer' PC monitors, and continually getting better. Hopefully one day >10ms will be the bare standard

My gaming monitor is about a .7 a frame of lag. My tvs range from .9 to 1.3 frames of lag. I would say that is acceptable... BUT when used alongside a framemeister you are ramping it up to 2.5 frames and that could be noticeable in some games. I grabbed an OSSC specifically for those situations. I OSSC to an hdmi to vga transcoder and run that to a VGA CRT monitor if for whatever reason I want higher quality AND a CRT.

For everything else I use my CRTs still.

The Framemeister has bad 480p. That comes from reality, from the basic and indisputable fact that the Framemeister has a hardware flaw where it samples incorrectly, causing 480p images to be slightly blurry along the horizontal axis. Emphasis on slight. Do most people care? Will most people even notice? No. It's not remotely important or noticeable unless you're an insane picture quality freak. Which some people are, so those people buy an OSSC and then a whole bunch of other shit to go along with it because it's extremely picky about what works with it. It's the same thing about picture noise on large solid colours. It's there, it's noticeable, but most people won't care or even notice unless it's pointed out to them even in the worst cases.

I work 8 hours a day 4 days a week, because in the USA full time is defined by the employer. Under 20 hours, is typically considered "part time" and over 40 hours a week qualifies for overtime pay. My employer schedules me for 4 days a week, like all the others at my workplace, in case an extra shift is needed but then it will still not cross that overtime threshold.

I have nothing against full-time. In fact I want 40 hours a week, since the extra $40 of take-home pay for that 5th day a week is very needed. The minimum wage in the USA is $7.25USD/hr and I get paid $8.50/hr meaning just around $5/hr take-home pay after taxes. It is not enough to cover housing, utilities, clothing, meals, means of transportation to work, and the joy of videogames to unwind from the stresses of work.

Because TV manufactures are cheap and/or retarded and somehow haven't figured out how to make a good internal scaler.

Due to how dogshit Composite video is, any converter that doesn't introduce lag is good.

I got one of these for pulling S-Video out of my gamecube and it worked for the NES for a while too:
https://www.amazon.com/Composite-S-Video-Converter-Screen-Version/dp/B003NUN7DG

It introduces no lag (tested with 240p test suite, the lag in OSSC is the same with other consoles via scart, and is 100% based on my TV's minimal lag), and the picture quality is about what you expect from composite with some filtering.

Get the RGB mod. It's fairly easy to do, provided you can de-solder the NES PPU.

I've yet to see a TV that doesn't have an option for RCA inputs. I took my Genesis to a friend's house though and the input lag made some games unplayable. I don't mind the blurriness but is there way to cheaply get rid of the lag?

If a HDTV even comes with analog these days its usually a dongle. Normies won't even know what this is and will toss it out after the cable guy attaches their DVR. So its best to take some form of analog to HDMI converter if you go to any normie house. Angry shut-ins wouldn't know this though.

>> No.4723570

>>4715509
I honestly have no idea. It's just a cheap little converter box that needs trivial processing power and does nothing proprietary. Why the chinks haven't ripped it off and made their own $20 version is beyond me.

It would be completely possible to install a capture card in a PC that could do the exact same thing and a lot more in coordination with software if anyone was interested in developing the concept. I know Retroarch has some kind of video hooks already implemented. If you could just get video from a capture card and put shaders over it then that would easily surpass anything these little chintzy boxes could do.

This isn't 2004, you idiot. There is no reason why there would be any more input lag than you would get with a Framemeister. The analog to digital conversion adds trivial (less than 1 frame) delay, and from there everything is dependent on the software.

The bigger issue that would possibly show up is screen tearing. It's a strange to think of when dealing with video from a real console, but you can get it through this method if everything isn't set up right.

>> No.4723754

>>4723659
Let's see a proof of concept then, anon.

Try playing a fighting game (actually any game other than a turn-based RPG) via a console plugged into a modern capture card and see how far you get. Why not record and post it in this thread for maximum lulz?

>> No.4723779

>>4723570
Thought about this solution too.
One may even use the cheapest, but not the most elegant option, and scale the signal via the cpu, thus having an interface card with a minimum of components and maximum flexibility.I guess PCI Express would be sufficient to use for bandwidth.

2-3 seconds is exaggerating. I use a framemeister with my capture cards (Elgato 4k, ripsaw, camlink) there is no added delay with these and the framemeister is ~1 frame. No reason the delay would be blown up by any of this stuff.

The guy is an idiot, but so are you for thinking any of that would take more than a few more milliseconds.

You'd definitely want to scale via the CPU. The card would just be to add the requisite ports and get the video signal into a form that can be processed by the computer. I think, although I am not sure, that you would also want to decode the video signal on the hardware level as well. With some fine control over that process afforded by software.

Question to anyone who has one of these. I just picked one up and it works great for my N64, but there are some noticeable black pixels that pop up on the top and bottom of the screen every once in a while. I don't remember seeing them on a CRT, so I feel like it has to do with the overscan. I'm trying to figure out how I can add a border to the top and bottom of the screen. Does anyone know a way to do this?

>> No.4725886

>>4725848

I scale the image using a non-integer scale so it slightly cuts off the top and bottom. That's my solution but I don't know about creating a border.
