It's the opposite for me. I'm as good or better now at all the games I played in the 1980s and 1990s. My highest score ever in Super Punch-Out was just a couple years ago, and it's about 10 times higher than I ever got in the 1980s, even though I played it almost every day for about 2 years back...

The pictures of SPO and SFII on the same Sanyo monitor show the same level of detail (same camera, same distance from screen, no zoom for either picture), so if you're not seeing individual red, green, and blue phosphor dots in the SPO picture then you're not seeing them in the SFII picture...

I didn't have a theory at all, so I couldn't have prompted it to come up with that stuff it said about analog video filtering, difference in bandwidth, etc. I still don't have a theory, other than I know there must be something different about the Nintendo video signal vs. e.g., Capcom's video...

The camera is in focus in both pictures, and on a tripod, set to go off on a timer. The distance from the screen is the same, i.e., as close as I can put the tripod to the cabinet before the legs bump into it. The camera is not zoomed in either picture. Both pictures are simply cropped, nothing...

There must be something different going on with the SFII boardset's video signal vs. my Punch-Out / Super Punch-Out boardsets' video signal though, because the PO/SPO raster looks a lot smoother (less prominent segmentation, and much smaller segments too) than the SFII raster does: Those...

I think that was Phetishboy's guess too, but the Sanyo is on the left, the Happ is on the right. That's being caused by the video signal and how the PVM handles that particular 240p signal. I've never seen such drastic separation between scan lines before though. This is how my 32" RCA CRT...

Are you saying the one on the right is the Happ or the Sanyo?

How is it possible for it to have fatter scan lines? The video signal from the game hardware generates a certain number of scan lines, and in order for them to all fit on a given size CRT, they have to be a certain thickness. For example, if the video signal is generating 240 scan lines and the...

I don't see any difference between my Happ Vision Pros and other monitors. For example, I've had a Happ Vision Pro in my Missile Command for years, and the other night I put its original G07 monitor in there after replacing all of its electrolytic capacitors, and it looked exactly the same in...

That's strange. When I connected my SFII boardset to one of the Sanyo 20-Z2AW monitors in my Super Punch-Out cabinet the other day (using the Sanyo's built-in color inverter board to get normal colors), it looked the same as it does on the Happ Vision Pro in my SFII cabinet, aside from it being...

I asked it why Nintendo boardsets produce a smoother looking picture than other boardsets, no visible scan lines and no prominent segmentation from the shadow mask. I told it that I'd always assumed there was something special about the Sanyo monitors, but that I'd recently connected a Street...

Things I learned from this thread: 1. The Street Fighter II button layout is also the official multicade button layout. 2. No multicader was ever dissuaded by not having a CRT. In fact, an LCD is an upgrade. 3. No multicader was ever dissuaded by not having a 4:3 monitor. In fact, 16:9 is an...

The world's first commercial plasma TV wasn't even released until 1997, and it cost as much as or more than a lot of new cars and trucks did at the time (about $15,000). In the mid 1990s CRT TVs still had a nearly 100% market share.

Not in my neck of the woods. If someone had said "N-E-S" or "Ness" or "Nez" to me in the 1980s or 1990s I would have had no idea what they were talking about. I saw some of the Nintendo commercials on TV back then, and maybe they said "N-E-S" in some of them, but if they did, I didn't take note...

Not counting advertisements and professional writers, I think all that business started on the internet. It's natural to abbreviate things when writing and I do it myself, but it doesn't influence how I talk in real life. I think most people who say "N-E-S" (or "Ness") in real life are people...

I know it was, and so was "Nintendo Entertainment System," like in this commercial: I never heard anyone in real life call it a "Nintendo Entertainment System" when I was a kid either. I never heard it called anything other than "Nintendo" in real life when I was a kid.

I never even heard anyone call it "N-E-S" when I was a kid. It was always just "Nintendo" ("Ni'tendo" is what my cousin Mike and a lot of other kids actually said) and its successor was always called "Super Nintendo." The one that bugs me the most is when people call the playable character in...

Did you know that Pizza Pasta and Mr. Sandman have green hair even though their hair is black in their still portraits on the upper monitor? I didn't. Even though I've played Punch-Out since it was a new game in 1984, for some reason I've never noticed it before today when I plugged my PO...

What I mean is; the way your PO/SPO cabinet is normally without any switcher installed... you hear the announcer from the left speaker? If so, it's the opposite of my cabinet.

Is that how your cabinet is wired? Mine is the opposite, i.e., the announcer comes from the right speaker and the music comes from the left. My cabinet has an original PO/SPO wiring harness, and the speaker wires are where they naturally want to be based on their lengths and bends...
