I’m not sure if monitors have HDMI-CEC, but this is at least one the way to control the sound from the xbox ui, works fine on my tv at least.

fraydabson,

Sadly no I don’t think monitors support that. Or at least mine doesn’t. The audio menu on the Xbox UI is inaccessible. Unless I have an actual headset plugged in.

Even tried hooking my controller to speaker but that didn’t seem to work.

that’s weird, if you hook the 3.5mm jack from controller to speaker, it should work fine. Worked for me in the past few times on lan parties

fraydabson,

Hmm maybe I did something wrong. I’ll try it again today !

I used a TV for years. Didn't bother me at all and I gamed on it. Also tvs have built in speakers where as as far as I'm aware computer monitors don't. I suppose not all tvs are the same though so ymmv.

IDew,

Most monitors do in fact have speakers! But they’re either comically small (which sound bad) or placed at weird angles and nobody I know genuinely uses them lol

Abnorc, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of September 3rd

I recently finished Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. it’s a fun game, but I’d say it was a bit expensive for the overall length and simplicity of it. Still, I really enjoyed it.

I also downloaded the free version of Shadow Warrior on GoG. I am not playing it blind since I watched Civvie-11’s video on it already, but it’s way harder than I expected. It’s my first time playing a build engine game, but the weapons and combat feel very intense and satisfying to use despite the technical limitations of games back then. I think I will keep on playing on “who wants some wang” for now, but it’s taking some perseverance. Lo Wang is hilarious though, and it’s making the game way funnier than I expected. If I keep on enjoying it this much, I may give other old shooters a try as well.

How is the latency in this mode? I find the input delay when wirelessly connected to my switch too annoying to use so I only use a wired connection. Normally no delay on PC so I’m wondering if this will be the same.

Nugget,

I have no issues with latency in any mode. I played some Super Mario Bros without issue, and I think I’d realize if there was latency in that game

Turun, do gaming w Help deciding PC upgrades

I have an i5 8600 and a 1070 and a 450W power supply. At least on that front you have plenty of headroom for an upgrade. PCPartPicker calculates the total maximum power usage as advertised if you input all your parts, so you can double check there if you’re in doubt.

10_0, do gaming w hardware: use TV as a monitor?

Depends on the game, if and FPS get a monitor that’s 144hz (I got mine for 150£ at 1080p around 5ish years ago) if anything else the TV will be fine.

Khanzarate, do gaming w hardware: use TV as a monitor?

I second skipping over the motherboard for a budget-but-upgradable build. Video card is the most important thing, so as long as the motherboard supports it, it’s good enough, and the vast majority will.

That said, second hand graphics card still isn’t a bad idea, since when you’re finished with the build some years down the line, the video card will be the oldest component.

Instead, get an NVMe M.2 hard drive, and a PCIe expansion for it since that budget motherboard probably won’t have native support. Expansion cards costs hardly anything relatively, and native support can be added to the list. A great hard drive makes ok RAM better than OK and cuts level loading times significantly. Honestly, adding a great hard drive to even some tiny budget dell desktop with built in graphics makes an ok budget gaming computer.

If there’s money left over get a good sound card or whatever peripherals you’d prefer, maybe Wi-Fi/Bluetooth (budget mobo probably skips them) and RAM if the budget mobo is still a recent one. Despite the TV likely being good enough, too. I wouldn’t focus on the motherboard until you’re picking out the high-end CPU, which is expensive but also just a lower priority than the other stuff, so a good monitor is on that peripherals list, too.

That dell comment is from experience, I made one into a surprisingly decent Minecraft/Roblox machine for a relative. Only thing that stopped it was the HDD it used. A solid-state drive is sufficient, m.2 is just future-proofing.

i_cant_sports, do gaming w hardware: use TV as a monitor?

No harm in trying it first. Beyond basic connectivity, here are some things you’ll need to check for.

You’ll want to make sure you can turn off overscan in your TV settings or the edges of what the computer will display will be cut off in the image. This can make navigating things like the Windows desktop a little difficult.

Then you’ll want to make sure responsiveness is acceptable. Perform any action (click something, type something in Notepad, etc.) and make sure the TV displays it instantly. If not, you will need to enable Game Mode on your TV if it is available. Sometimes a Sports mode will get you there too. If such a mode isn’t on your TV and there are no other settings that reduce the response delay, you’ll need a dedicated monitor.

If you’re OK on both of these things, the only thing left would be stuff like resolution and color matching. For the best image, make sure the computer is set to use the TV’s native resolution. This may not necessarily be the highest resolution available, FYI. As an example, I have TVs that are 720 native but will accept and display 1080, albeit things don’t look great at that scale. Your mileage may vary. For color matching, don’t worry too much about accuracy if you’re not doing things that require a perfectly calibrated display. Set the picture mode on the TV to whatever vivid/movie/sports/etc color mode works for you, but keep in mind some of these can affect the delay depending on the TV (see above).

Do you mean Cemu? Dolphin only supports GameCube and Wii.

counselwolf,

doesn’t it support Wii U as well?

@GhostOfElectricity@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz avatar

Nope. Cemu works great though.

Nugget,

As another commenter mentioned, Dolphin can’t run BOTW. Yuzu has been working great since I posted and I’ve heard great things about Cemu as well.

Final Fantasy VII. I love the franchise, but never got far into VII. Played through it so I could have an opinion on it, so I could see what I was missing. I ended up very disappointed.

Tried the demo for System Shock remastered and finally started Jet Set Radio with the release of the spiritual successor. They did not age well for me, but I could see why they were popular back in the day
