The video about the Ultimate input lag if you want.

There's some MAME hacks that reduce input lag of arcade games from 3 frames to like 1 or even 0, so yeah emulation can reduce input lag but your display and your brain area already lagging so hard it doesn't matter.

Has there been any hacks like that for smash melee or brawl with the Dolphin Emulator ?

>>16444658

even if it did, i think most emulation can't have audio latency pat down, so you would have to deal with that, your ears are faster than your eyes.

>Can emulation reduce the input lag of console games?

with current means of emulation, after 10+ years. The question is it even worth it? Smash ultimate is like smash 4 and brawl before it. No one is really going to want to play it after the hype of it being the newest smash fades after dlc support ends.

>>16444640

Yes, even PC ports don't have as much imput lag as modern console games.

Whatever makes you feels better at being ripped off

>>16444658

There is a mod that makes melee poll at 120Hz, so yes

And they often fuck up graphics because they emulate games with a smaller input delay than they were ever programmed to have. They're really only used by clueless autists who like to pretend the real reason they can't beat X game is due to minuscule input delay that they can't even notice without being told it's there rather than their lack of skill.

These clueless retards are often the very same ones playing with autofire cheats in shmups because "the Japs do it".

>they emulate games with a smaller input delay than they were ever programmed to have

can you cite some evidence to support your claim that games are intentionally delaying input?

because yeah current flows at the speed of light (give or take). so unless the software is actually message queuing the input signals you actually could potentially design a better circuit: shorter paths, better signals, etc…

>>16444687

Just check the filename. It's a cuckchan refugee.

Most lag in games now is not hardware related. It is hardcoded in so presumably an emulator could be used to remove it.

>>16444966

No, that makes it a lot harder.

>>16444966

why would anyone hardcode input lag? makes no sense.

>>16445400

>why would anyone hardcode input lag

Pure incompetence

>>16445429

And yet some of the best games made have it.

>>16445400

>makes no sense

made sense to Capcom when they were making a competitive 2D fighter

Capcom are fucking retards and nips can't code for shit (although I'm just as guilty for not tying physics to delta time in my solo-dev shit games)

>>16445400

I would make sense in an online game from like 20 years ago but for the most part it's so overly drawn out animations, sometimes even in menus, can play out without your inputs getting eaten.

>>16445548

>Monster Hunter World’s atrocious menus

>>16444644

They're cucks.

>>16445630

I think the game with the flat out worst menus ever has to be Dragon Quest 9. No idea if it's just the English version or what but there's times where the input delay is so bad you can wait like 5 whole fucking seconds waiting for the menu to go away. The worst part is that they aren't even elaborate. It's just a translucent box with some text.

>>16444640

emulation and network based latency are completely unrelated. you'll never overcome physics.

>>16444667

Whatever happened to Bionicle anon?

Ultimate is a fucking shit game for retards who should be dead.

>>16447093

He's talking mainly about controller input lag. Since the video the screenshot is from mentions that most of the game's lag (in single-player, at least, but it affects online too) is mainly from the rendering pipeline, then being able to render faster could theoretically reduce input lag. It'd still be pretty shit online though.

Many multi-threaded games use tricks that raise the framerate without also lowering latency. Video drivers also love adding several frames of buffering on top of this.

>inshitious

With inshitious both Google and inshitious know what you watch and can sell it instead of just Google.

And through the lower amount of inshitious users it gets easier to match IPs and watched videos to people if you smash the data from Google and inshitious together.

It's the exact opposite of what it claims to be. Instead of accessing YT unseen you stand out like a giant clown.

It's a fucking man in the middle. What could go wrong?
