I would assume that if you do that, you're simply making your TV deinterlace the signal instead of it already being deinterlaced from the source. I would guess that in this case, you would get more lag unless your TV's deinterlacing processing is extremely fast.
Most of those are tested in 1080P though. 720P -> 1080P may not be a significant add-on of lag, but 480P (assuming you're running Melee in Progressive Scan) -> 1080 is a huge upscale that will tack on extra lag.
Where did you see what the input was? I looked for it briefly and couldn't find it.
If you're unsure about the quality of white gamecube controllers, then just buy a plat one as its a better deal. Also really the color isnt that big a deal unless you're a nazi or something.
Ya I notice a slight graphical difference from my tube TV thats for sure!
I just take a knife and cut all the control stick until its my 2nd C-Stick, like a BAWS
I find it allows me to make more precise movements with the control stick, ya I cut the rubber off, Found out when I bought a GC with 2 controller and smash for $20, the controlers had worn out control sticks so i cut the remaining rubber off. I B-up/side less often now, as in doing a B-up instead of Bside, vice versa
This may not be allowed in tournament depending on the TO. If you cut the rubber around your control stick, and correct me if I'm wrong here, but doesn't the GC interpret it as an input that goes further than what is capable and allow for better DI that no one else would have access to? That would only be if you cut shaved the stick put, not if you cut off the thumb grips.
I can confirm that these do lag - and quite a bit actually. I assume it might be because it's relatively old signal conversion technology.
Ya I actually bought 3 good GC controller ( 1 orange xD) for only $35 at my local pawn shop, all feel good, The black one i got feels the most worked in, moreso then the 2 me and my roomate have been fiending smash with for months , i love this black one now so i won't be using the cut up one hahah
Actually I'd like to ask - are you sure it's CRT? I think TVs that size are actually usually DLP. It was a DLP that lagged I think - perhaps CRT's do not.
Thank you lol first post that's made me outright laugh in awhile
so holding start-x-y to recalibrate doesn't work to get rid of the drift? Or are you saying the control stick physically gets stuck at up?
You could attempt to put in a newer/tougher spring from another controller. The downside to this is your R button will then feel stiffer - It also might not work depending on the problem.
My best controller started doing this like a month or two ago. I'm going to try to fix it once my work bench is accessible again.
They are certainly individually replaceable, I've done so on multiple controllers. Requires soldering; but it's not very difficult once you learn how.
