I'm going to mess around with my tv and see if there is anything to kinda fix it.
I was trying to play my Saturn and it's just too big I think. I can't see the whole screen at the right distance and stuff. In shooters, there are some timing issues with hitboxes and stuff if it's like out of sync. I've also noticed blurring between frames. I'm dealing with pixel accuracy and a damaged eye...so I dunno.
I know the crazy dudes at shmups spend tons of time dailing in their cabs and stuff. Games like ikaruga aren't considered accurate for score unless played at the original speed on Naomi or Dreamcast hardware. Ibarra PS2 is a great example of unplayable in the traditional sense because of televisions, refresh rate, and processor speed. Even on the excellent M3 ports of cave on xbox360, there are artifacts from modern TV's.
It could just be me though. These new TV's have always hurt my eyes and it's just gotten worse.
Maybe I'm just old.
