You've defeated the purpose of wide-screen by using the 4:3 aspect in the game. Switch the play mode to arcade, not original. That must make it very weird to look at. IIDX isn't supposed to look like that.

[ultracarl]

Have you played on an arcade machine before? Simple question.

If you have, you will understand this argument. With the original setting, sure its at the normal 16:9 widescreen interface BUT the notes become too small along with the lanes. The distance between you and the screen is huge. Instead of the screen being 1-2 feet away from my face like in the arcade, it is 6-8 feet away. Which thus hurts timing even more than it should.

[kuromatsuri]

Change the timing in the options. It won't make it perfect, but it will help a lot. From what I hear, a -2 change is usually what HDTVs need.

[ultracarl]

There is no timing adjustment option in RED. It only started in HAPPY SKY ;o

P.S.

I just the last stage (nebula grasper) and holy smokes.

Is the lag really that bad to even make a person who can pass the song on a CRT fail on any HDTV?

[ultracarl]

I have tried all 3 connections. Composites, S-Video and Components. Components might be less lag but it makes everything too damn blurry and messes with my eyes after prolonged use thus I don't like using the components option.

and yes the lag is that bad.

[TranceCore3]

I don't know about you, but on wide screens, the Arcade style aspect ratio still works for me, even when I sit farther away from the screen.

[kingyarni]

Yes I've played in the arcades, and I do agree with the distance/timing problem, but what I meant, was that if you have it on the original setting, on a 4:3 screen it seems scrunched together, and on a 16:9 screen it spreads out to exactly what the arcade is.

Fullscreen + 1 player = normal size

Widescreen + 2 players= normal size

Fullscreen + 2 players= scrunched together

Widescreen + 1 player = Stretched way the hell out

[kingyarni]

Yes, but only by a little. Component is FAR better, and of course HDMI is the best, but not compatible with a lot of game systems.

[YAGUTAN]

timing adjust fixes it, don't forget to activate game-mode, it takes away your screen-delay for the most.

[asdfghjkl2222]

IS there a difference in look when using rca and s-video?

[Sjonegaard]

I have the exactly same tv, bought it last week, and the lag is terrible for rythm games. Good job dealing with it, but I decided to just stick to my old sdtv when playing IIDX.
