  1. Framemeister also adds ~1.5 frames of lag and this adds none. Ossc might not add lag but it can have compatibility issues, not to mention it seems like every few months we are finding out some new way scart cables are made improperly and is causing signal or power issues that can even damage equipment. I would much rather have everything taken care of in one affordable package. (Also with any luck there will be jb firmware and this thing will take care of several consoles as well)
  2. I've run out of different ways to explain that the entirety of the U.S. operates off the principal of innocent until proven guilty and that if there isn't a law against it then it is legal. You can't be saved your soul is damned to the depths.
  3. That depends. If the mod only works with the game, then it can use the copyrighted contents from that game as to use the mod you must first have obtained those copyrighted materials. Now if someone puts an ACDC track in there... that is not so legal. But you can still enjoy it legally as long as you have purchased that song legally in some manner. It would be no different than if you listened to the song while playing the game, or ripped the song from a cd and replaced one of the audio tracks in the game with it.
  4. Your point is that you don't understand the law. Just because someone can use something illegally does not make that thing illegal. Period. For something to be illegal there needs to be a law saying it is illegal. And in this case there is a SUPREME COURT RULING THAT APPLIES TO THE ENTIRE U.S. which states that as long as the mod can not operate without the original work it is not a violation of copyright because if someone tried to use it without the original works it wouldn't operate and how they get those works is their responsibility which means if they take it for free THEY WOULD BE BREAKING THE LAW aka stealing. THEM, THE USER, NOT THE PERSON THAT MADE THE MOD. If someone sells a dvd burner they are not responsible for the copyright violation if someone buys it and uses it to burn a highly illegal copy of a 20 year old game that is no longer even being sold commercially.
  5. You've missed the point as always. -NOTHING- that requires the original works to operate is copyright infringement because you need to have a copy of the original works to use it. IF someone chooses to steal those original works by downloading them when they do not have a copy of them then they, THAT INDIVIDUAL PERSON, have broken the law. Everything about the msu1 chip is completely legal, they are not responsible for how people use it anymore than a store that sells kitchen knives is responsible for a poorly made horror movie.
  6. I don't think that's realistic. He has no reason afaik to care how well the sd2snes sells so I can't see him being motivated to leave out one specific feature which might not even amount to many sales of the sd2snes. I mean sure msu1 is amazing and I want it, but how many people would buy a sd2snes just for that? Probably not a significant amount. My best guess is that if a jailbreak happens and it is possible to support the chip then it will get supported eventually.
  7. The msu1 is not copyright infringement. You still need a copy of the original rom to use the patches and the music is all fanmade. Because you still need the the original rom to patch it with the msu files it can not play copyrighted material without first obtaining that copyrighted material and as a result is not a derivative work. This is a supreme court ruling that holds true over the entirety of the U.S. The same applies to any modification that requires the original copy to be patched like translation patches, hacks, and hd graphics improvements.
  8. I said hacks use them, and I provided videos of 4 of them... You wouldn't happen to be a flat earther would you?
  9. That's pure bullshit that you just made up on the spot. There are no rules for what is a legit chip or for that matter any rules that legit chips are the only ones people would want to see on the super nt.
  10. It exists on the sd2snes which is not emulation... also even if it was an "emulation only" chip why would that magically make it not exist and be a thing people wouldn't want to see the super nt mini capable of replicating as a result?
  11. Because of hacks. One of the first things it did was restore the lost voices (and in English for the first time ever) to Ancient Stone Tablets (Zelda downloadable game from the snes era, yea that's a thing) And since then it has added amazing audio reworks to a ton of games.
  12. Does the fpga in the super nt have the resources to run both the snes and a msu1 chip if someone wanted to buy one and code their own completely unrelated to the super nt?
  13. Well it depends what kind of display you have. If you have an oled and it goes bad in 2-3 years of moderate use then it isn't a very "long term" investment. On the other hand if you have a high quality non oled then it can be operational for 8+ years of heavy use. The best road to take is to purchase an extended warranty so you have 3 years of support, then when that is about to expire complain about some issue that is hard to verify like color bleeding, lack of clarity, ghosting, ect so you get store credit for the full price of your purchase. Being several years later with the technology constantly evolving your money should get you a considerably better set, even more so if you have saved up during that time and can now put some additional funds into your purchase. The same investment strategy can be applied to basically any technology just change the issue you are complaining about to reduced battery life or something else no store employee is going to bother checking before issuing store credit.
  14. Ummm Oled and Plasma are two different technologies. Saying it took 8 years to get burn in on your plasma when someone talks to you about burn in on an oled is like if a doctor tells you that you have liver failure and retorting that your family has no history of heart problems. And if you "know how to get deals" then you could just apply that skillset to anything you purchase across the board so it is equally advantageous to you if you are buying a tv with a life expectancy longer than 2-3 years. Also if you are complaining about blacks on non-oleds what about the white levels on oleds being subpar? Based on where technology is today the best tradeoff you can make is getting a decent tv that has low input lag, local dimming for better black experiences, and will last for awhile if you need it to without breaking your bank. Oled is just too flawed to adopt right now (unless you can replace it every 2 years and are willing to run special screen savers on it to keep it alive and don't mind the inferior whites) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH4qkU7rsAI
  15. It isn't hard ordering one from that list online. Also for now I would stay the hell away from oled. Super expensive and they get burn in and color degradation issues after a year or two of heavy use (sure you can take breaks and run special screen savers on them designed to reduce burn in but that isn't the gaming experience I want for that kind of money). And honestly the local dimming technology that even budget displays like TCL offers is completely fine as long as you aren't playing in direct sunlight or something. There are very few games where a single frame of lag is going to make a difference so a 17ms delay on a 55" 60hz 4k tv for $650 with decent but not perfect blacks is a fantastic gaming experience I wouldn't suggest spending the few grand to bump up to oled unless you have everything else you want in your gaming setup and are a ballin ass baller that can afford to replace it frequently.
  16. He was talking about a flat panel from that era, although as the person asking the question wasn't limiting the technology that kinda exaggerates things greatly. Tbh it is not that difficult to find a flatscreen with under a frame of lag in today's market, but it is very exciting that we might have a high refresh 4k tv that can do it. IF it has under a frame of lag and is between 2-3 grand I would say that is an amazing buy. If it is between 5-6 grand I would say that's about what you can expect and depending on how happy you are with your current setup you'd be better off just waiting a few years until the price drops to half.
  17. I'm not sure if it has the resources to do that, but I'm pretty sure that the hdmi port is not 2.0 so I'd bet on no. But the difference between 240p upscaled to 1080p vs upscaled to 4k is probably nonexistent.
  18. ....except all the things I described are things that are specifically not effected by the bottle neck. I suppose the shaders might not work depending on how the video is generated and it would be a lot easier to just wait for an all in one fpga solution to mature than coding something specifically for that use case but there are still plenty of benefits to owning a Super Nt with a Genesis core over a stock Genesis, not to mention if you want a Super Nt for other stuff that it can do why wouldn't you use it for a Genesis?
  19. It could do plenty a stock Genesis can't do, like continue working considerably longer because it was made 30 years later, having the best picture quality, digital audio, having built in rom support, and the hundreds of non resolution based graphic and audio options for things like shaders and color palettes could be made available...
  20. It wouldn't. The Super Nt would be set to output the Genesis core's native resolution&clockspeed over hdmi and from there you would convert it to something the 32x was expecting and connect it, and the 32x would still output rgb at its native resolution, but you would get the benefit of having one less console and all the other stuff the Super Nt can do. Assuming of course it gets a Genesis core and cart adapter.
  21. The video would still be output from the 32x if it were to plug into the Super Nt with an adapter or a Genesis version of the console. You would just need to convert your hdmi output to the Genesis 2 plug, or if they do release an analogue outputting version in the future simply use that. There shouldn't be any added lag going from native digital to analogue compared to the original console so that shouldn't cause any problems.
  22. That's the bare minimum (which still haven't been able to do btw).
  23. You're confidence is inspiring, but that's not how debates work. If you make a point it helps if it makes sense/has any meaning to it at all. And if it gets refuted then you need to back that point up. You've done none of that because you simply don't have the ability to have what you said make any sense at all in a way that supports your claims. You lose, game over.
