This is great! Measuring latency is the first step to fixing it, and it's a step most never take. I've previously worked on a method of measuring latency in an automated way…
modeless on HNGreat work! I've already measured 4 of my gaming systems. The NDS outperformed them all - Rhythm Paradise reacts in 33ms from tap to image change B-) I can imagine screenshot…

Objections
Camera precision of about 4ms is coarse for claimed editor latencies

Surprised that the author is quoting latency of editors to 0.1ms, when the precision of the camera is only 4ms. Are they really repeating these tests 40+ times?

Tangentially relevant, but I've been part of several communities that have discovered a lot of interesting things about some video games using high-speed cameras. Super Smash…
1maginary on HNUbuntu latency is better than Windows 10 on this hardware?! Way to go! Better check your videocard driver's settings. For NVidia on Windows, you can for example alter number of…
