Flat-screen TVs are the worst thing to ever happen to gaming. I used to be an expert at Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and other music/rhythm games. At NordicFuzzCon '19, when there was a system connected to an actual CRT, it was like nirvana. Not anymore. It's all laggy bullshit.

I remember a time when I was working at
@VvisionsStudio working on the next Wii port of Guitar Hero, and could master a song within the span of a day on my little CRT monitor. Now, it's just not even fucking fun anymore.Näytä tämä ketju -
Hell, at one point I was one of the top-10 players on the Xbox 360 leaderboards for the first iteration of DJ Hero. Can't even hope to reclaim that sort of position anymore.

Like, what the fuck, is it really that hard to just make a mode for a TV that just shits the pixels from the HDMI stream into a framebuffer, and immediately presents it? Or the audio packets from the same, shoving them out the DAC? Why is this such a fucking struggle?

Doesn't it literally take MORE person-hours to develop some post-processing algorithm that takes so many frames to process on the shit-house, anemic MCU that you people are insisting on putting into TVs? Why the fuck is this even an issue?

And no, don't talk to me about "game mode" on your TV. Don't even start. I've had "Game Mode" enabled on my TV for years, but the thing still has upwards of 40-50ms of video lag and easily 10-15ms of audio lag. Don't even fucking start with me.

If you're just pushing the raw pixels out to the framebuffer and pushing the raw audio samples out to the DAC, this wouldn't BE an issue, but it IS, so clearly there's some bullshit going on even in this supplemental mode, so what the fuck?

...oh wait so it's not just me... (I recently discovered rhythm games, after years of classical musical training)

Yeah, no. If you're "lucky" enough to have one of the Rock Band 3 auto-calibrating guitars, then you're in luck, except for the fact that the RB3 guitars have buttons that feel like shit and can never measure up to the buttons on RedOctane-made GH guitar controllers.
