How much lag? How much lag compared to other options? What encoder has the least lag of all? 'By how many microseconds? I wish to have the best! To blatantly state that it has lag is not very informative. Please elaborate and prove it.

WII and X-box i did not check

ask X-arcade, surely they will answer it

I was fairly certain you had no helpful information, but it was worth a shot. Thanks anyway, I guess

So in other words you have no idea.
I on the otherhand I own the xarcade and have the Dreamcast original and actually tested it myself. Same for the PS1 and PS2.
Large lags..but small on Playstation.. :laugh2: So I guess with a PSX to Dreamcast adapter those "small lags" should be identical. :laugh2: Because guess what...I HAVE THAT TOO! Or are you gonna say the adapters are faulty too. :laugh2:
The Ipac on the other hand, which is another that I have owned had numerous problems reported also by at least one other proven owner.
So in closing, you most likely go by what you "heard" over personal experience. Typical.
Though I would be curious as to know if you reported your problems to Xarcade instead of bashing here.
For my words, I kept in contact about the Ipac game adapter for several months before I returned my Ipac after 2 failed chip shipments. Andy, was ok, and being a long time customer I was very dissapointed. I am sure he would have stuck it out with me a while longer, but I wanted cosole playing NOW. The Ipac game adapter that I paid ~$150 dollars for just wasn't cutting it, and I wasn't taking anymore chances.
The Xarcade is a great board with multifunction WORKING tech. Also this supposed lag isn't even present on over 40 feet of USB active wire! The Ipac and Xarcade are virtually the SAME! I have done the pepsi challenge because I own both currently. Can you say the same for yourself?
The only thing I ever heard about Xarcade was "ghosting" which was years ago on beta hardware to boot. I have seen none of this and I am proud to say the Xarcade and Ipac are living in harmony together on panel.
