00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:06.120 We should play some retro games. 00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:06.960 All of them. 00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:09.300 Because emulation isn't dying 00:00:09.300 --> 00:00:11.160 because of Nintendo lawsuits. 00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:12.000 Oh. 00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.840 Anyway, fortunately, you're a well-equipped retro gamer. 00:00:14.840 --> 00:00:16.220 You got all kinds of controllers 00:00:16.220 --> 00:00:18.200 for all kinds of amazing retro consoles. 00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:21.960 N64, SNES, original NES. 00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:23.040 Yes. 00:00:23.040 --> 00:00:23.880 Coleco. 00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:24.720 Wow. 00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:26.040 But there's only one problem. 00:00:26.040 --> 00:00:29.840 Even though you've got your emulation PC all set up 00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:31.220 and you got your retro arch. 00:00:31.220 --> 00:00:32.520 Oh, can he turn this? 00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:33.360 Oh, wow. 00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:34.200 This is terrible. 00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:35.020 Everything is terrible. 00:00:35.020 --> 00:00:36.500 You're going to have to come around. 00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:38.180 You got your retro arch all set up 00:00:38.180 --> 00:00:40.000 with all your games and everything. 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.680 Then you're like, oh, how do I plug? 00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:49.360 How do I plug one of these into one of these? 00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:53.080 If only there was a solution. 00:00:53.080 --> 00:00:55.140 Oh, there it is. 00:00:55.140 --> 00:00:56.380 And we're going to tell you about it 00:00:56.380 --> 00:00:58.540 after this word from our sponsor. 00:00:58.540 --> 00:00:59.780 Mack Weldon. 00:00:59.780 --> 00:01:01.940 Mack Weldon makes great underwear, t-shirts, 00:01:01.940 --> 00:01:03.000 socks, wallets, and more. 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:04.080 They believe in simple shopping. 00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:06.180 And if you use code TECHTIPS, 00:01:06.180 --> 00:01:08.780 you will get 20% off your next purchase. 00:01:08.780 --> 00:01:18.840 So go check them out at the link below. 00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:23.060 So this right here is the Bliss Box. 00:01:23.060 --> 00:01:25.600 In the box, you get the Bliss Box adapter, 00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:29.920 which has got one USB-B, 00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:32.020 so a USB-2-B at the back. 00:01:32.020 --> 00:01:36.820 Then it's got four HDMI connectors. 00:01:36.820 --> 00:01:39.780 Now, here's a funny thing that a lot of people don't know. 00:01:39.780 --> 00:01:41.660 There is a huge difference 00:01:41.660 --> 00:01:44.660 between physical connection standards 00:01:44.660 --> 00:01:47.500 and electrical connection standards. 00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:49.660 And while you might see an HDMI port, 00:01:49.660 --> 00:01:51.320 that's a totally normal HDMI port, 00:01:51.320 --> 00:01:53.720 and go, okay, so that's for video, right? 00:01:53.720 --> 00:01:55.960 You might not always be correct. 00:01:55.960 --> 00:01:58.480 And I have seen HDMI used for all kinds of things. 00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:00.700 I've even seen it used for PCI Express. 00:02:00.700 --> 00:02:02.000 That was pretty weird. 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:05.480 In this case, all they needed was some kind of cheap, 00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:07.780 standard connector that they could get 00:02:07.780 --> 00:02:08.860 that had enough pins for everything. 00:02:08.860 --> 00:02:11.800 For everything they could possibly want to connect to it. 00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:13.960 And can you walk us through, what are all these? 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:15.580 Some of them are fairly recognizable. 00:02:15.580 --> 00:02:16.480 I don't know if they're all labeled. 00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:17.320 That's SNES. 00:02:17.320 --> 00:02:18.200 This is SNES. 00:02:18.200 --> 00:02:20.120 This is NES. 00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:21.800 This looks like GameCube. 00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:23.040 There's the Coleco. 00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:24.860 They ship you the Bliss Box, 00:02:24.860 --> 00:02:28.020 and then this entire bouquet. 00:02:28.020 --> 00:02:28.860 Oh, thank you. 00:02:28.860 --> 00:02:30.440 Oh, it's so cute. 00:02:30.440 --> 00:02:33.600 Of adapters, so that you could have four controllers 00:02:33.600 --> 00:02:36.980 for pretty much any retro console you would want. 00:02:36.980 --> 00:02:38.580 And you don't have to go with, 00:02:38.580 --> 00:02:41.340 even the slightly different experience 00:02:41.340 --> 00:02:43.280 that you might get with something like 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:44.820 an 8-bit Doh controller. 00:02:44.820 --> 00:02:46.020 Wait, is this from 8-bit Doh? 00:02:46.020 --> 00:02:47.660 Oh wow, no, this is from a SNES Mini. 00:02:47.660 --> 00:02:48.500 Yeah. 00:02:48.500 --> 00:02:49.340 Oh, so this is first party. 00:02:49.340 --> 00:02:50.160 Yeah. 00:02:50.160 --> 00:02:51.000 All right then. 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:51.840 Does this have an adapter too? 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:52.680 No. 00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:53.520 Oh. 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:54.360 That was a mistake. 00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:55.200 We did not think of that. 00:02:55.200 --> 00:02:56.960 So in terms of setup, honestly, there's not a whole lot. 00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:58.700 You gotta configure these dip switches 00:02:58.700 --> 00:03:00.520 to determine whether you want four-play mode 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:01.780 or single-play mode. 00:03:01.780 --> 00:03:03.700 And then it doesn't require external power. 00:03:03.700 --> 00:03:06.120 You just go ahead and pop that USB in the back. 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.580 It supports a hundred plus types of controllers. 00:03:08.580 --> 00:03:10.140 So everything we've got here, 00:03:10.140 --> 00:03:11.620 I mean, with the exception of maybe this, 00:03:11.620 --> 00:03:14.860 is pretty mainstream from a retro gaming perspective. 00:03:14.860 --> 00:03:16.900 And it even supports advanced functionality 00:03:16.900 --> 00:03:19.660 like pressure-sensitive buttons on PS2 controllers 00:03:19.660 --> 00:03:20.960 in games that support that. 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.700 And it has the ability to detect 00:03:23.700 --> 00:03:26.840 what kind of controller is in what type of port. 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:30.200 So your emulator, just with a restart at worst, 00:03:30.200 --> 00:03:32.160 should be able to pick up exactly 00:03:32.160 --> 00:03:33.400 what all the button bindings are 00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:35.680 without any dinking around whatsoever. 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:37.200 The last major benefit of this, 00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:38.300 aside from that it's just 00:03:38.300 --> 00:03:39.480 a single cable solution, 00:03:39.480 --> 00:03:40.860 instead of having a bunch of dongles 00:03:40.860 --> 00:03:42.700 hanging out of the front of your case, 00:03:42.700 --> 00:03:45.640 is that it is extremely low latency. 00:03:45.640 --> 00:03:47.680 So the idea, and we went and obtained 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:51.000 this mammoth of a TV specifically 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.440 so that we could evaluate that for ourselves, 00:03:53.440 --> 00:03:55.400 the idea is that you should have 00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:00.400 an as-good-as-original latency gaming experience. 00:04:00.760 --> 00:04:02.520 But I'm not sure if I buy it yet. 00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:04.260 Let's see. 00:04:04.260 --> 00:04:05.140 One thing we missed, 00:04:05.140 --> 00:04:07.140 apparently you need to reset the bliss box 00:04:07.140 --> 00:04:08.560 when you change the controllers around. 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:09.920 I think there was a button here. 00:04:09.920 --> 00:04:14.300 So every one of them has a button right beside it. 00:04:14.300 --> 00:04:15.890 Not yet. 00:04:15.890 --> 00:04:17.710 Oh, I see what's going on. 00:04:17.710 --> 00:04:19.170 It's plugged into the keyboard. 00:04:20.070 --> 00:04:24.710 Oh, well, we don't have it plugged in at all. 00:04:24.710 --> 00:04:25.710 Dang it. 00:04:25.710 --> 00:04:27.130 When you're trying to reset it and stuff, 00:04:27.130 --> 00:04:29.650 it should say some kind of yellowy text 00:04:29.650 --> 00:04:31.410 at the bottom of the emulator. 00:04:31.410 --> 00:04:35.670 If that isn't showing up, maybe not plugged in. 00:04:35.670 --> 00:04:36.990 There we go. 00:04:36.990 --> 00:04:37.830 All right. Wait, what? 00:04:37.830 --> 00:04:39.030 Hold on. I'm just doing mine too. 00:04:39.030 --> 00:04:41.880 Is yours working? 00:04:41.880 --> 00:04:43.660 It was working for like a second. 00:04:44.660 --> 00:04:48.410 And then I touched it. 00:04:48.410 --> 00:04:52.750 Okay. So we had some problems and we have re-equipped. 00:04:52.750 --> 00:04:53.590 I went home. 00:04:53.590 --> 00:04:56.790 I got my SNES controllers, like OG SNES controllers, 00:04:56.790 --> 00:04:59.710 and my PS2 DualShocks. 00:04:59.710 --> 00:05:02.230 Also, we figured out what was going on 00:05:02.230 --> 00:05:04.670 with Luke's PlayStation controller. 00:05:04.670 --> 00:05:06.190 It's Mad Catz. 00:05:06.190 --> 00:05:08.370 There's also like a fray on the cable. 00:05:08.370 --> 00:05:10.070 There's some detection issues there. 00:05:10.070 --> 00:05:11.310 The N64 controller is trying to work. 00:05:11.310 --> 00:05:11.370 Yeah. The N64 controller is trying to work. 00:05:11.370 --> 00:05:11.410 Yeah. The N64 controller is trying to work. 00:05:11.410 --> 00:05:13.650 Turns out that was a retroarch issue. 00:05:13.650 --> 00:05:15.670 And then finally, the Coleco, 00:05:15.670 --> 00:05:18.510 it looks like these are very simple devices. 00:05:18.510 --> 00:05:20.010 There's nothing to really detect, 00:05:20.010 --> 00:05:21.670 but there's a manual override. 00:05:21.670 --> 00:05:24.640 So we're just gonna try again. 00:05:24.640 --> 00:05:26.880 Can we just play some SNES games? 00:05:26.880 --> 00:05:29.180 Because like the whole thing 00:05:29.180 --> 00:05:30.780 is it's supposed to be really low latency. 00:05:30.780 --> 00:05:34.100 Like there's some part of the USB standard that it's using 00:05:34.100 --> 00:05:35.620 that mostly gets ignored. 00:05:35.620 --> 00:05:39.200 That's supposed to allow it to be interrupt driven. 00:05:39.200 --> 00:05:41.700 It's so, theoretically, it's like the best thing 00:05:41.700 --> 00:05:42.540 ever. 00:05:42.540 --> 00:05:44.000 Okay. So can we just do Super Mario World? 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:44.840 Yes, absolutely. 00:05:44.840 --> 00:05:47.540 Okay.
