Retro
hardwarecels deserve this shit for willingly paying exorbitant prices for ancient
games. Just use an emulator like the rest of us they have CRT filters now.

"hey, you use a CRT because there's no lag? Well here, an LCD with extra numbers being crunched -- that's the same thing"

Neurodivergents really believe they need less than 1ms lag to play super Mario

Some emulators have 'runback' or whatever it's called to run the game with lower input lag than on a CRT.

When you press the A button on an NES controller, you send a signal directly to the NES that interrupts the CPU with an input, which triggers the instruction to make Mario jump. When Mario jumps, his screen coordinates change, which means the picture processing unit is getting commands directly from the processor to change where the pixels are located, which is outputted over the coaxial cable or composite cable, depending on how your NES is hooked up to your TV. Both are analog signals that get piped directly in, no conversion necessary, so that's why there's no lag whatsoever.
An emulator, even with run ahead enabled, is still running on a PC with a USB or Bluetooth input that the computer polls, rather than the input interrupting the CPU. It works like this:
It minimizes lag by just running multiple copies of the game behind the scenes, with each copy of the game having one of every button being pressed on the next frame, and whatever button you push determines which copy of the game gets outputted to your screen, so that the rendering doesn't have to wait for you. It's a great solution, but it doesn't reduce lag even lower than an old console hooked up to a CRT, because that is physically impossible. Thank/fuck you for getting me all pedantic on this subject.

There's no real difference between the two. You're hallucinating.

Yeah and they really need that lag free experience when they're playing,

I looked it up and they made an nes port of a modern
game for some reason... Why does specifically the nes get the gayest nostalgia soy shit?
You don't see r-slurred

The genisis has a massive home brew scene as does the Dreamcast. The dreamcast alone gets more exclusives a year compared to the ps5 !g*mers

The modern part is the port. It's always been an NES game.
Also Yuzo Koshiro is making a MD shooter and it's had plenty of homebrews like Xeno Crisis, Paprium and the upcoming SotN port.
Atari 2600's had crap since the 90's and there are regular competitions for 7800 and Lynx homebrews. Both of them probably have more homebrews than official games at this point.

Limited Run has a history of doing all sorts of shady shit. I saw a video a while ago outlining a whole lot of their deeds, this one:
It's a frickin' hour long but some parts were things like, how the company sets aside a swath of their biggest sellers to scalp them on eBay while posing as nobodies. How they false advertised a physical copy of a PC game only to give out Steam codes, and then only offered those that complained a $10 refund for a $20 game they paid $65 for (because collector's edition). And countless little errors and things where they told their customers to frick off.That video was made three years ago, and they just keep chugging along because there are enough r-slurred suckers out there to keep them afloat. They can make games that brick your NES, and they'll still have r-slurs lining up around the block to buy more of their cartridges because they have to have a shelf with as many different NES games as possible, and they don't want to become the laughing stock of the video game collecting subreddit. Limited Run's a truly shitty business, but their customer base deserves them, and I hope they get even worse and make even more money off of those insufferable cute twinks.
