What is your thoughts on FPGA arcade board replacements?
Osgeld replied to redsteakraw's topic in Arcade and Pinball
Ah didn't know that an fpga device magically fixes display lag lets get one very basic thing down, FPGA is NOT real hardware (yes its hardware but its not THE hardware) it is a large array of logic gates programmed to emulate or simulate real hardware, which can vary drastically depending on who did it it has its pro's and con's, its just another choice -

Osgeld replied to redsteakraw's topic in Arcade and Pinball
FPGA is treated like a holy grail among fan's (for some reason) but at the end its all down to execution, good emulation will be good, bad emulation will be bad. In reality we are well past the point of a computer having too much to do that it can't properly emulate anything an FPGA could and its just another choice ... do you pay 225 dollars for 40$ worth of parts with 5 pirate games cause its magical special FPGA, or do you get a 50$ (or less) computer that runs robotron just as well, but have to deal with an OS and a bigger box -
I bet its still there on the crt, but its being dampened by the nature of the thing (as I have seen this my self first hand and its still there on a tube, its just really soft and blurry ... like a tube), its kind of hard to blame a 4k tv that is sold to you for showing every detail possible, then showing you the details

um google snaps their fingers and ships an entire series of phones, atari snaps their fingers and 6 months later shows a old dev board inside some dude's small motor works shop partitioned off by 4 sheets of OSB (only after they failed at simply stamping an atari logo on already existing phones)

Are Sony Trinitron TVs as Good as Everyone Says?
Osgeld replied to Games Retrospect's topic in Classic Console Discussion
NEC computer monitors used them as well, awesome picture, about 2x the price of a standard PC monitor unless you got a deal, but regardless, little harder to plug a SNES into a vga screen -
I have fallen for this gimmick with a AD&D atari game at walmart before you put in the CD and it tells you to install steam and download the game, like for real real it is an older atari pc game, like atari has era, but the diminsions of the name atari are quantium even as of 15-20 years ago (and this game was like in 2010-2013 ish I dunno I gotta go get the dvd and laugh at it, its a shit game but still mindless simpleton AD$D fun)

Osgeld replied to Games Retrospect's topic in Classic Console Discussion
It totally depends on the model BITD I had a toshibia flat CRT that would easily rival a top end consumer trinatron I have had a "space saver" trinatron TV that sucked (still above average quality though) and it wasnt worth the 2 bucks I paid -
or just use a blinking led hehe

put slots in the board and solder to switch after its mounted edit I guess there that plastic separator on the switch which would not allow this

if your doing a pcb why not ditch the wires all together

disconnecting grounds is a sure fire way to get head on desk syndrome (at this point me personally would have said screw it and used a microcontroller)
