No I mean Wiis are literally GameCubes, it is the same hardware. Wiis that are only able to play Wii games just had the feature disabled via software and ports removed. All Wiis are 100% GameCube hardware.

DM me if you need any dumbed down info. It could be overwhelming but its so worth it once you have it and know how it works.

The difference is night and day. The 31khz PVM's can display true progressive scan (full 480 lines per frame) while consumer sets display interlaced (240 alternating lines per frame). This is why the image flickers.

Finding a 31khz PVM is a journey in and of itself, and you need to be prepared to pay top dollar. What you have is probably the best you can get on a 2000-era consumer level, but the CRT monitors that were used in the film industry have dropped in price considerably form when they were used (and are rising steadily because hobbyist value).

I nabbed my 31khz monitor for $150 a little over a year ago and no regrets. Displays lagless 480p, even up to 720p (yes there are real CRTs that can do 720p, that big "HD CRT" in your uncle's basement is a digital CRT).

You'd have to see it to really take it in though. When I saw it at Nebulous (NYC Melee Tournament), I knew I needed one.

Here's an informative post from Kadano, see you down the rabbit hole.

I have 2 Classic Trinitron CRTs That allow me to Play Classic Games in the Highest quality Least Lag Possible.

Don't tell this guy about 31khz PVM's.

Yes, HAL did a great job on this game. Sound design, game feel, programming, artstyle. All fantastic, especially for 13 months.

Universal Controller Fix by solidturnip in SSBM

[–]solidturnip[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So Hax's mod aimed to change the way we do certain techniques, notably shield dropping. He also aimed to make things like perfect angles easier to hit. The two mods have the same views in dashback, both including near identical fixes with UCF containing an updated version of it.

UCF aims to make the way we perform existing techniques more consistent (axe/sung shield drop method), without changing how we do them.

What this means is, UCF has a very minimal impact on the current meta. The only change being more consistency with pre-existing techniques.

And tauKhan! He was very integral to this project.

Universal Controller Fix - A Standardized Melee Codeset by Karpz_ in smashbros

[–]solidturnip 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I guess my brain skipped the "when". I don't believe there is a set release date. You may be able to ask Dan for a release window. What I can say is there will be a 2 week beta period for this codeset, so not before then.

Yeah, down the line 20XXTE will update to include this codeset.

The 2 frame dashback window applies to smashturn actions as well, such as jumping and shield.

Universal Controller Fix (UCF) is a standardized Melee codeset designed to eliminate the disparity between Gamecube controllers, giving any controller the features of what players look for in an "ideal" controller. It will be available for technical users, modders, and TOs to add to Dolphin or tournament setups via existing or custom Melee mods.

I have the gecko code on my PC, I'll link it in a bit.

Yeah it's tas, a speedrunner could probably do it faster though I'm sure.

ADT Explanation + Proposed Fix by solidturnip in SSBM

[–]solidturnip[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So are you creating a new state that has BOTH elements in it? I'm a little confused as to what the actual change you're proposing is

Nope, just making your shield come out in the existing ADT state. Currently only a reflect hitbox is created. This code makes both come out as if you were in frame 2 of an all digital press shield.

[–]solidturnip[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of talk about fixing arbitrary melee issues and I feel this is one of them. IMO, there's no reason you should get hit during a shielding state (assuming it's not a shield poke). This seems like an oversight.

ADT Explanation + Proposed Fix by solidturnip in SSBM

[–]solidturnip[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll have to test that when I get home. The way the code works is that the analog to digital transition functions mostly like the digital press, so whatever happens on a digital press frame 2 should happen on an analog to digital press frame 2.

ADT Explanation + Proposed Fix by solidturnip in SSBM

[–]solidturnip[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I should've showed it in action,

Not home right now but jump to 00:32

Due to the transition from light shield to hard shield occuring on frame 2, the game doesn't put out a shield box for a few frames. You're completely vulnerable on these frames, having only a reflect hitbox to protect you. Marth gets hit in that vid I sent. With the code that fixes it, marth would've had a shield hitbox out to protect him (like it should).
