Rhythm gaming is a big one for me. All other display devices commonly used for gaming have at least a small amount of lag between input and final display. I have a midrange LED set that gives me something like 12ms lag calibration when I

Nintendo's definition of "authorized" does not seem to include a user dumping their own keys. They've been this way ever since they claimed that physical mask ROMs were not at risk of failure and thus did not need to be

Copyright owners being anti-preservation are literally stealing from the public. If a work cannot be preserved to independently ensure it exists long-term, then it has effectively been stolen from the public domain. This is theft in a way

The Amiga had the ability to sync the clock to an external video signal, and it also had a "color zero" signal present that would allow a genlock to know when to switch between the input video and the Amiga's video, so that y
