@@sonicmario64 I think the main appeal of a CRT, aside from that retro nostalgic authenticity, affordability & flawless latency, is the incredible blur free motion clarity, which simply put, doesn't exist on Modern 4K OLED & LED displays. Motion blur is the name of the game these days, and i can't stand it. We've gone completely backwards. The trick is to either use Black frame insertion or higher frame rates(120fps-144fps) beyond 60fps to reduce OLED motion blur by 50% or more. Problem is, BFI has too many drawbacks(Higher latency, too much brightness loss and flicker on whites), and 120-144fps isn't compatible with most games since they're total power hogs. :P Thinking about getting an AVS and pairing it with a smaller QD-OLED....But then I'd just be making a big sacrifice to motion Clarity, even latency AND my Wallet($1800 later) and the AVS can't replicate that smooth RF or AV CRT filter effect...Just scan lines, which also darken the image. On the flip side, QD-OLED has perfect blacks, high brightness, it's light, Thin, and makes the experience feel fresher and modern. Vhat' to do. :P

And when playing games like duck hunt or freedom force its nice to go orginal hardware on a CRT. But sharing gamplay and just playing games with friends on my hd tv the AVS is a fantastic solution to my graphical and lag woes. Im very happy with the avs for the nes graphic and non lag capabilities. Next up the super nt. And the new sg nt are the next on my upgrades list so i can happily play my old carts like there sappose to he played. The collection is up on the self ready tk be played and the AVS gave my collection what it needed. No lag and near flawless pixle display.

Great review, guys! I especially like that you used the term "hardware simulation" to distinguish what the AVS does from something like the Retron 5. Early press on the system didn't do a lot to break down the difference between the AVS and other NES HDMI solutions. You knocked it out of the park, as always!

@mylifeingaming 8 жыл бұрын

+Retro Tech Select [Try4ce] The usage of the term "hardware simulation" was thanks to Artemio Urbina's input! Originally I wrote "hardware emulation," not for lack of understanding of what it was doing, but I didn't know of another word to use. Artemio's advice helped make the distinction much more clear.

@reisman44 8 жыл бұрын

Thumbs up guys!Really detailed,paced and relaxing.In case you get the chance to test the NES(& Co.)on a 4K TV remember that,apart from one Professional Sony 31" Oled Monitor,there are no native consumer 4K TV screens on sale.Horizontal resolution is slightly lower:3840x2160(UHD)vs 4096x2160(4K).Just so you know when looking in detail to what's happening to the pixels that the resolution might not be what you think.P.s.This 4K advertising(Sony in particular)of UHD just brings more confusion to standard understanding.Keep up the excellent work!And thanks again for your tests and videos.

@mylifeingaming 8 жыл бұрын

[Try4ce] I think "UHD" is what we want to deal with, because 3840x2160 is what the standard video resolution will scale cleanly to. Of course, it's not actually 4K pixels wide, but I'd rather have an aspect ratio that matches earlier standards, then something that probably won't be useful for anything but PCs.

It's still emulating. They're using software to emulate and putting it in a plastic shell made in China... So because Nintendo is licensing it as "official", that's the draw? Speaking of emulation, their virtual console does it pretty poorly. It doesn't give me much hope for the NES mini.

Except, of course, these emulators were not "stolen", as in taken from their owners without their permission. The emulators were (and still are) given away freely by their authors, its just that Retron 5 creators didn't respect licensing terms, that is they have not released source code of their modified versions of the emulators they're using in Retron 5. But they have since done so and they're in the clear now. So, please, stop repeating incorrect statements about "stolen" emulators.

The problem with focusing solely on the definition of the pixel is that it leaves aside the fact that the scan lines of the old tube screens were not only a limitation but were eventually used ingeniously as a tool, the visual aspect of the arts. they never had the intention of defining the pixels, on the contrary it was the design standard to achieve a smoother representation and that is where the Dithering effect is relevant but with the search for the "perfect pixel" it disappears and with it the very essence of the finish visual arts and its final aesthetics. someone think about dithering! 🤣

@mylifeingaming 8 жыл бұрын

[Try4ce] Everdrives are cartridges in the shape of the system that they are meant to be played on, and they have an SD card slot. You can load any ROM or ROM hack to play it on original hardware.

@mylifeingaming 8 жыл бұрын

[Try4ce] Every game cartridge has a ROM inside. That's how the game itself is burned to the cartridge. ROMs cannot be written into something else once it has something on it. An Everdrive takes the ROM rips that you play on emulators, and loads it into RAM that is on the Everdrive. The console then treats that RAM just like a ROM. In other words, yes it is for original consoles, or a console that acts like one, like the AVS. The RetroN 5, actually can NOT use Everdrives. They only work on consoles that work like the real thing, not emulators.

I have an NES hooked up to a Sony CRT via composite and the background in Super Mario Bros is more light blue than light purple. Also, the bricks color looks closer to the AVS than RGB.

Ahhh if they'd have made it look like a front load nes I would have been sold. The sprite limit doubler is the real kicker for me. I wonder if one could gut this thing and reshell it into an nes.

The picture is certainly impressive, and I like that its design is based on a prototype. But, the picture looks a just a _little_ too sharp, and ever so slightly oversaturated. Meanwhile, an RGB original appears to have more accurate colors and picture quality, with the latter appearing to be a bit blurry only due to being juxtaposed to the sharpness of AVS. Until the AVS is capable of RGB SCART, I think I'll stick to getting a modded NES-101. Another fantastic episode. You're easily my top resource for retro gaming, and have helped me tremendously on getting my channel started. Thank you.

[Try4ce] I noticed that last night too when I was putting together the last batch of comparisons. I don't think it's actually sharper than RGB+Framemeister, but the more contrasty color palette seems to give off a perception that it is sharper, perhaps. I just really love the Unsaturated RGB palette, it just says "NES" to me.

I wholeheartedly agree. Unsaturated looks absolutely STUNNING, and it'll be one the first things I'll implement once I get my NES.

Hopefully, RetroUSB will release an AVS 2 one day 'with' the following > Smaller Size - (Similar to Analogue's Super Nt & Mega Sg.) Top Loading Cart eject button A console Power ON/OFF controller button combination - (like Down+B+A, or Start+Select.) A CRT 'Softness' Depth Slider - (This is crucial, and a big mistake not having it with AVS in the first place.) Also, taking off the Lid makes the AVS look so much better, since you're exposing that awesome NES cart cover art, plus you could always just get a RetroTINK4K and use it's CRT softness filter settings, and of course it's internal 60hz Black frame insertion to cut down 50% of OLED motion blur, in combination with it's HDR to SDR brightness boosting trick, to compensate for the 50% brightness drop from it's BFI.

Oh and just to note, the newest Beta Firmware update allows for 4 different color palettes now, including Unsaturated :)

Can't wait to see the review of the miniNES, since I don't own any carts, its compact and uses a Wii remote port with an included controllers and uses a HDMI output it looks like a pretty good device for the price all considered. Hopefully it's better than the VC's video output though seeing how dark that Mario 3 footage looked.

confirmed by Nintendo. the brightness, sharpness and color have been fixed. no details yet on resolution output.
