So I asked, “What will happen if you hook up an NES directly to a projector?”
I’ve been wondering about this since I was a kid.
Now I know the answer: it’s awesome! No input lag. You don’t have the same problem of “raw” pixels as you do on an LCD or LED. But at the same time, you don’t get the scanlines that a CRT has.
But the biggest advantage is that the light is much softer which reduces eye strain if you’re in a dark room.
This damn level:
Get that shit away from me I'm still angry
What game is that? Looks interesting.
Iron Sword, aka Wizards and Warriors 2. The first one was also enjoyable, but they're kind of different games.
You mean the Fabio game.
Best art cover at that time!
Great title screen music, too.
Shit always got stuck in my head.
Actually part 1 always got stuck. Don't think I ever played 2
the Fabio game.
You mean Goose Dodging Simulator?
He never dodged a goose. He took it straight to the face.
I never said he was GOOD at it 😉
Easily the hardest of the 3. And you're right, they're all very different games from each other.
About 15 years ago with I was about 17-18 I hooked my megadrive up to a projector. Had to create my own cable for it because i didn't have an AV cable. Used a large paper clip for the prongs to stick them into the right holes in the AV port. Only needed two of them.
I would then project Sonic on the side of my house in the late evening and played whilst laying on a sun lounger. Can imagine that looked weird to any passerby's.
Emulators with rewind and save states mean regular humans can finally enjoy this game.
This music is going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
Hey, now someone needs to invent a projector with a CRT filter
If you mod it, you can get RGB output. Looks much nicer
wait until you've tried with a PCEngine! ;)
Maybe you use a better projector than I did one time, but in my experience they are a recipe for massive headaches and pretty much the worst eye strain.
What kind of projector did you use?
If you use something like a MiSTer, you can add the scanlines back in—I wonder what that looks like through a projector
