I'm jealous ๐ญ that thing can actually play NES gun games, unlike modern LCDs
Why can't modern LCDs play NES gun games?
AFAIK, several milliseconds delay that LCDs have when updating the display, and sometimes the residual brightness from the LCD backlight (when the NES blacks out the display for a fraction of a second to figure out what the light gun is pointing at) isn't accepted by the console
CRTs can go completely black (similar to modern Oleds) and update instantly, so these work as expected with the light gun
So would high refresh rate OLEDs work?
Couldn't find a better monitor if I tried!
I just hacked my drivers to make my hdmi output a "thingy that hooks into antenna" signal
Goated
That is fucking cool
