--- Quote from: genesim on May 01, 2009, 11:39:01 am ---What do you not understand about the fact that no two CRT's are built the same? What do you not understand about the fact that I am referring to ALL games and not just one(hence you saying...in many cases). I am looking for authenticity spread across new..old...very new games. --- End quote --- Before I consider breaking two tubes to count the stripes of phosphor, what you mean when you say this ? Obviously, there are manufacturing differences built into everything. For monitors, however, to make sure that things look the same (or "similar enough"), there are standard protocols for tuning the monitor to match. Things like convergence to be adjusted. For my part, I had always assumed that was we had all of those cool controls. Now, what does come out of your statement that *is* interesting is that you are looking for *one* display technology to play all of the games that *you* want to play. You will not get authenticity over that spread, at least not by any reasonable definition, but you can get an acceptable experience across that range. Based on the majority of your posts, this has never been your argument here. Blanka has made the argument (IIRC) that LCD was better for what he wanted and nobody faulted him. Other folks who have wanted to watch DVDs in their cabs have chosen "non-authentic" displays and people don't argue because their intentions were different. You have always claimed that CRTs are not authentic (hell, you even just told me that my arcade CRTs, as originally shipped with the games aren't authentic enough for me to have a valid opinion). If I wanted to play Major Havoc and Doom 3 on the same cabinet, then, yeah, I might well go for an LCD. Of course, if I was running Doom 3 in a Major Havoc cab, I would have to shoot myself in the head. ;) EDIT: for typos due to poor C&P ... gotta love being able to edit ;) EDIT AGAIN: Because I can! >:D |

I don't get why there's such long diatribes being posted regarding such a simple issue ... ??? Um, has anyone bothered to check the emulator and see if there's an interpolation option that can be turned off or set to various settings? Maybe it's just blending it too much compared to the effect a TV does. |

I was all alone. yeah right. --- End quote --- C'mon, let's be very clear and give credit where credit is due. I at least helped push you into totally spazzing out --- Quote from: CheffoJeffo on April 22, 2009, 10:30:09 am ---Works everytime ! ;D --- End quote --- And you never fail to disappoint. :applaud: You can't be bothered to understand the specifics enough to do research or post coherently (which is why people have to continually ask WTF you mean), then you get so painfully upset by getting caught in obvious factual inaccuracies that you freak out and tell people that they are the ones who don't understand and then continue to make the same mistakes and tell people to get over it. Totally awesome to watch. :applaud: |

This whole debacle started because you keep saying LCDs show the code better or some other ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- like that --- Quote from: genesim on May 01, 2009, 09:01:08 am ---Maybe the only way to settle this is for me to go out and take tons of pictures. Compare it myself. I already have with the local place that has Pacman and I compared the differences which do not exist at all. Most of this is starting to look like the complete lie that it is. --- End quote --- I cant honestly see you doing any sort of research other then maybe a quick google to pretend you know what you're talking about. Take pictures , just dont use a 1 megapixel camera phone --- Quote from: genesim on May 01, 2009, 09:01:08 am ---But rest assured, for a fact the Atari 2600 and the "blending" does not exist. Bud I was there playing with crappy tv's going through crappy ATANNAE connections! Not RF as the author puts it. You needed a converter box for the original old TV's. Remember switching back and forth? --- End quote --- I used RF on my 2600 and while the blending isnt as good as in the LCD "simulator" it was there. I dunno what an atannae is, unless you meant antennae. My RF converter screwed into a little tube and the little tube had 2 forks on it. I cant remember what it was called, this was over 25 years ago for me I digress, just wanted to get another post in before the lock/move to post hell --- Quote from: severdhed on May 01, 2009, 11:09:56 am ---such hostility.... why does everyone Hate LCDs so much? my cabinet has an LCD monitor and it looks great.....is that the problem? do you guys want your games to look blurry and crappy? why would anyone try to emulate the look of a CRT on an LCD? that just makes no sense...and whatever that guy was doing doesn't look like any CRT monitor that i have seen. the LCD monitors have such a nice clean picture to them...why anyone would want anything less than that makes no sense to me. --- End quote --- Whaaaaaa? I LOVE my 61" Samsung LCD HDTV and I LOVE my 22"Samsung LCD PC monitor, beautiful picture on both an the HD looks flat out amazing. However, I PREFER my arcade montior in my MAME rig as opposed to a LCD with any sort of filter. --- Quote from: genesim on May 01, 2009, 11:25:35 am ---By the way, just because blending did happen, doesn't mean it was programmed for it. PERIOD. --- End quote --- just be cause it wasnt programmed into the code doesnt mean it wasnt accounted for, thats another thing you cant seem to grasp. Who programs for a display and doesnt find out what the end product will look like on 99% of the displays? --- Quote from: CheffoJeffo on May 01, 2009, 11:29:17 am ---Actually, I'm worried about what's in the glass ... --- End quote --- We are followers of jimmy jones, standing in the kool aid line..... excellent double reference cheffo! --- Quote from: genesim on May 01, 2009, 11:31:18 am --- --- Quote ---There's only one person in these threads who can't get past the fact that people should be able to choose what they want without being labeled as Nazis, fascists, or saying it's a religion. --- End quote --- Why are you lying? That is not what I said. You going to apologize before I prove you wrong? I am giving you a chance. --- Quote ---Arguing how the technology works is a separate argument from what's best for people to use. --- End quote --- Some people can't seem to get this...hence people personal attacking me on my choice rather then discuss my points. XXXXXXX --- Quote ---Actually, I'm worried about what's in the glass ... --- End quote --- Actually I worry about all of it. --- End quote --- -3 to your QuoteFu gensism sweet I think this is my longest post ever. And unlike you Genesism, I actually do take the time to read everything BEFORE posting :) *and I tend to use spell check too!* --- Quote from: RayB on May 01, 2009, 12:14:25 pm ---I don't get why there's such long diatribes being posted regarding such a simple issue ... ??? Um, has anyone bothered to check the emulator and see if there's an interpolation option that can be turned off or set to various settings? Maybe it's just blending it too much compared to the effect a TV does. --- End quote --- there is no room for logic in this thread, get out :) --- Quote from: genesim on May 01, 2009, 11:57:49 am ---HOOFPRINTS not ZEBRAS. WORD --- End quote --- Man thats still the most retarded saying Ive read on these boards....... You ever think it MIGHT be an Okapi? Wait, you prolly say they dont exist and when they evolved your god of choice wanted round stripes. |
