My little brother came up with this meme. A little outdated but it was a chance to show him how to make stuff like that!

I'm jealous 😭 that thing can actually play NES gun games, unlike modern LCDs

Why can't modern LCDs play NES gun games?

[-] lemann@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

AFAIK, several milliseconds delay that LCDs have when updating the display, and sometimes the residual brightness from the LCD backlight (when the NES blacks out the display for a fraction of a second to figure out what the light gun is pointing at) isn't accepted by the console

CRTs can go completely black (similar to modern Oleds) and update instantly, so these work as expected with the light gun

So would high refresh rate OLEDs work?
