I'm not much of a programmer or EE. I've dabbled, but I've never really done anything serious and I think the concepts are beyond me. Trouble is, I know enough to understand how things work, even though I can't make use of that knowledge, which makes me something absolutely detestable: An Ideas Guy.
Thing is, I think I have some pretty good ideas. Several of them eventually materialize when other people finally have the same thought. But then there's stuff that sits in my head for years and years and I don't see any hint that someone else is looking into those same concepts, and it's a bummer because I know exactly what needs to be done, I just can't execute any of it.
So basically I nerdsnipe myself periodically, and then I just have to sit around and fantasize about my idea existing, because it never will unless, basically, I hire someone to implement it. Which won't ever happen. Anyway, here's one of those ideas, in two parts.
I use a $15 hdmi to composite converter and the latency is… practically nonexistent… I run whatever I want on the crt through OBS and full screen the source onto the CRT, resolution is fully customizable with that obviously, sometimes I even run my actual hardware through OBS and onto the CRT for G-d knows why and I do not notice input delay with that even, and like, I do speedruns of Mario and shit, maybe it’s just my computer is a genius or I’m blessed but it really isn’t a problem, also with the desktop icons going all crazy not an issue for me either because I extend my display instead of mirroring it, also my original gaming hardware is unmodified so honestly emulators running to the CRT look “better” than my NES or super famicom do using my methods, but yeah maybe my setup is just built different or something, or maybe you’re looking for something beyond my understanding!
