Duck Hunt on an HDTV 2

[ChampionRevilo]

In other words, let the default settings for a better image? Please, reply! I have a LCD HDTV and all of my old consoles looks horrible on it. Even the Wii, mostly when playing NES games on it (the Wii connected to my HDTV) Help =(

[hakemon]

@ChampionRevilo Mine was a CRT, and could scan as low as 540p to get a "sorta" close image.. An LCD on the other hand isn't going to make things better, because it's going to be at minimal, a 720p image, which means a lot of upscaling.

[ChampionRevilo]

@hakemon Well, it looks exactly like it would be on a crt tv if I lower the sharpness to the minimum but, it gets even more blurry =/

[shizmotron3030]

this video sucks

[3l415926535897932384]

you are using a crt tv

[hakemon]

@3l415926535897932384 Yes, but its still an HDTV and has deinterlacing and processing delays

[ToaMumbo]

@hakemon Light gun only works on crts becuase it has cathrade tube

[syxx510]

Yeah.. all this shit for something you can emulate.. and play easily with an LCD GUN... wow.. Even FCEnes supported LCD light guns in '07 at the time of this release.

am i the only one to own a green zapper?

Where Can I Buy A Scaler?

[mattcintosh2]

I've got an extra one down in my basement. Faroudja is a popular brand. Many people make HTPCs out of computers to do the exact same thing.

[dmcintyre90]

@mattcintosh2 give me ur email and I'll send you my information if you wanna mail it to me.

Always seemed to be the trick with using any HDTV for traditional light guns is that they require just the right ammount of white light (or green/blue/ir depending on sensor) that only a front-projection tube is capable of.

It also kind of irked me that I had to explain to people with computer-related technical jobs in the past why their superjoy3's light gun wouldn't work on that new LCD they got...I guess everyone can't win...Thankfully I still have a 22" CRT (definitely not leaving me) :)

[RascalKyng]

I have a light gun...... for a Nintendo....A Nintendo which is somewhere in the States right now.....supposedly getting OC'ed..... It's on some work bench now as I type this, getting fitted and tweaked on.........

The honest tech, who I have great communication with and who gives me updates periodically, said he'll be finished working on it this month.... I can't wait to get it back! :)  YAAAAY!!!!

[chocobo77]

i just got this game.  it works really good on my flat screen tube they came out about 5-6 yrs ago...this game plays perfect......

[dacasman]

i never really understood how the zapper works

[Shendue]

When you press the trigger, the screen goes all black with a white square on the duck's position(s) for a fraction of second.

The gun then has a sensor that can sense if you're pointing the white square.

[pjousma]

@dacasman search for 'how the zapper works' =D

[TheCoxjohn]

@dacasman THe tv flashs and the gun picks up the light...your not shooting at the tv, its the other way around

[TheKyGuy]

Disregard my last comment. I forgot that your scaler was borrowed.

[TheKyGuy]

I know this video is old, but I'm going to post a comment anyway. I'm actually looking for a CRT HDTV because light guns don't work on an LCD TV.

But I have to ask you two things:

1.) Where did you find a scaler?

2.) How much did it cost?

[hakemon]

I find that hard to believe. The no LCD is fast enough to match a CRT's electron gun.

Prove it.

[downphoenix]

more info about this scaler please, I am very interested.

[Superwaluigi64]

My Duck Hunt isn't working on my LCD TV, what is wrong with it? (I'm actually uploading a video asking why right now)

[hakemon]

An lcd will never be fast enough to blank the screen with the magic white square for the zapper..

[desertman123]

what if you have one of those fancy shmancy 120hz?

[Shendue]

What about OLED LCDs? Those are WAY faster.

[hakemon]

Not as fast as a CRT... Sorry, a CRT is driven by the video signal thus is instant.

A CRT HDTV only goes into this direct mode like old analog SDTV's, if the native scanrate is induced.

[hakemon]

Oh, and btw, no such thing as an OLED LCD. You have LED LCD which is just an LCD with an LED backlight, and OLED, which is NOT an LCD..

[Shendue]

I see.

But both LED LCDs and the newest OLED tvs, the state-of-the-art ones, at least, have a sensibly higher refresh rate (over 100 hz) and pretty low latencies.

Shouldn't this make a difference?

[hakemon]

NES only ran at 60Hz video refresh, thus those extra frames from 120Hz and 240Hz TV's is nothing but processed and interpolated. thus latency.

[hakemon]

See, the NES Zapper, takes a pic in 1ms time..  Unless you can find a TV with 1ms latency, it just won't work, and only a CRT without digital processing, can do that, aka, old analog CRTs, or a CRT HDTV with a "native" mode..

[Shendue]

I see.

Well, it seems i didn't do a bad thing stopping my father that was giving away my old 4:3 CRT then.

It's still fully working and it has a pretty good, large screen. ^_^

[johneymute]

is your tv 720p or 1080p.

wich scaler does it use.

please note that when i connect my nes to my 720p 107 cd samsung tv i will experience manny blockey artifacts in the colors.

does the upscaler avoid those artifacts even if you watching very close ??? like i do.

thanks!!!!!!!!

[joeevil5000]

I just love how well the video captured the loud "ga-pang" noise when you pull the zapper's trigger. Nerdy, yet nostalgic....

[FinalFront]

nice

[stickman2555]

woot first post!
