Glad this is all working Paul but it all seems so arse about face lol. Persuade old games designed to run on consoles connected to CRTs to instead run on a pc designed to output to an LCD and then persuade that pc to output to a CRT
Are you using original controllers? I guess the modern Xbox and ps pads are so good that they're actually better in most cases?
Yup all original controllers, the advantage being with the new Retroarch build that you can set each system up as needed. With run ahead they actually have less latency than the original consoles. I've owned pretty much every main console ever released (as many of us have) and this is an excellent solution, as I no longer have the space or desire to have them all set up. It looks pretty much perfect with the added advantage of being to move the screen exactly to the pixel to get rid of the junk. I'm planning to make a video tomorrow, just hiding my Windows shell to boot straight into it. I'm always for original hardware, but it's just not feasible for me at the moment or dare I say it, now even preferred.
[MENTION=9465]Brad[/MENTION]: I think it was covered on another thread but run ahead is where they run the emulation one or more a frames ahead of what is being displayed thus can serve up the next frame immediately after the user input has been read, thus reducing input lag. Its more complicated than that as the user input has the function of branching the next frame into a different gameplay output, thus a different rendered frame is required. There's a good article out there on it, probably. It's like all the time travel paradoxes you see in films but happening in your emulated Snes!
Video is up - bit rambly! But covers most things. I also repeat 'Zero 3' about 1000 times :/ Turns out this runs everything from the NES to the Gamecube. Not bad for a £75.00 business PC.

I've got a lush streacom case (looks like a slimline hifi amp) that will house a micro ATX. Might use that. Looking at putting a Ryzen 5 in there. Need to check that the passive copper pipe cooling system will be sufficient though
