I've been trying to find the old threads regarding input lag and how people tested them (I recall markman did one, and there was an ST one with an LED comparing a port with an arcade board) I've been searching google and the forums for them and am unable to find them.
The reason why I ask is because I want to compare the input lag of two complete setups: a retron 5 with the ASUS 238h and nes/snes/genesis etc... with a CRT...
The simple solution in my mind would be get a camera, and splice an extension cable so it can plug into both consoles, but i'm worried about damaging my controller pcb. I assume i would only need to draw power from one console, so just leave the pin to the other console unconnected? are there any other concerns I haven't considered? or technical knowledge that i'm clearly lacking/not considered from my desciription?
