Controller/TV issue

[Jink8]

So I wanna play melee but I notice a lot of input delay making the game feel unplayable. I have issues short hopping because of it. Anyone else have this issue? I have a Flat Screen TV.

Get a CRT.

 

[Archelon]

They're super cheap, look on Kijiji or wait for a garage sale.

Better yet, try a goodwill. One near me had one for 5 bucks /:

Could I use A Wii ? Wii with homebrew also? Do I need a gamecube?

 

[Kadano]

You can use a Wii for sure. If you go for homebrew, Wii VGA cables and a cheap CRT PC monitor, you can also get a complete lagless 480p setup for about 40$ in total, if you want that.

So Miom guys were talking about less than one frame of lag on crt monitors. How would you go about setting that up with a wii and a crt monitor. They mentioned some sort of adapter or converter?

Hi, I think you're talking about getting less than one frame of lag on LCD monitors as it wouldn't be surprising for CRT monitors. (for CRT monitors, see this thread)

I think you're refering to the following article:

the follow-up:

I personally own one of those setups fizzy talks about. I use the C&E component to hdmi converter which I cannot recommend. I get blackouts around every 5-10 minutes.
So my current setup is wii with component cable goes to C&E converter goes to ASUS VG248QE. I would recommend buying the sewell wii to hdmi or the Neoya Wii2HDMI converter instead of the C&E one because of the blackouts.
EDIT: I think what causes the blackout-issues is the poor-quality power adapter that came with the converter. The blackouts stopped after I used a different one. Unfortunately, the voltage of that one is too high so I'm ordering a new power adapter with the correct voltage, hope that works.
Otherwise I think the setup's great. I recorded my monitor side by side with a CRT using a 60fps camera and there seems to be barely any difference. maybe i'll upload video of that.

I've ordered this one, for what it's worth: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Reta...1080P-Output-Upscaling-3-5mm/32480628640.html

At 6$ and 4.8 stars average vote, I expect it to work just as well as the "genuine" Wii to HDMI adapters. Drawing the DC directly from the Wii is a big plus imho.

I already thought about buying one of those but I didn't so far because in the comments of fizzy's follow-up article he tested one cheap random other wii2hdmi adapters and it had huge amounts of lag and I doubt any of the voters cared about that. But I may as well give it a go. Gonna buy myself one of those prepaid credit cards and order it.

Pauer I was actually referring to the miom podcast with tafo, shridan and juggleguy. Where they were talking about the future of melee being on pc or a wii with crt monitors and getting a setup with less than 1 frame of lag
