Also just a note: if your NES gives you a blinking power light, try putting some isopropyl alcohol on the contacts of the cartridge with a Q-tip and then put it in and out of the slot a few times. that usually cleans the contacts enough for it to work again

Or double check everything is fully plugged in and if you have lines on your screen then you need to push the cartridge down because it isn’t pushed or you have to take it apart

Some advice for future videos: Try to cut down the length by not repeating yourself as much and talking about stuff that is not really relevant. B-Mode and music selection were such topics for example. Also the background music is too loud for your relatively quiet voice. Especially in a longer video it becomes tiring for the listener to concentrate on a voice behind loud background music.

Thanks, I'll take those into account! I was on a deadline to do this and had to cut a few corners. I had to one-take most of this, but if I had another day or two, I could have improved it more. Also, I was debating whether to include background music, but since the mic I had was pretty noisy (long story, I have a better one) and I didn't realize it until it was too late, I decided to put some bgm in and go with it. If I had it at a lower volume you would have heard more noise.

too loud music? youre kidding... his voice is perfectly clear to hear, maybe your headphones are messed up (crossed left-right channel (or bad wire connection with ground terminal) will make sound out of phase making music louder and voice quieter)... and about repeats, its not that much of a problem as it was just few extra seconds of material... btw Eric, good job on in depth info of game mechanics, dont worry about the lenght so much... it is appreciated! Thx!

Also when it comes to tetris guys, any crt with composite will work. Don't go for the pvm's. Ctwc mainly uses old 20inch crt's anyway. so there's no point in getting a pvm since what you will be competing on will be very different. Also if you have friends or every wanna bring your crt anywhere getting something 20 inches or smaller with composite is ideal. Also there is a guy on youtube who does rgb mods for the nes and crt's. So I would just send my nes and crt to him

nice video. I think that hyper tapping players are amazing. And I need to learn it, DAS is so bad at lvl 19 because you are forced to clean so many times. however, I need to know if hyper tapping(that fast as original nes) is posible with an USB gamepad at emulator or if I should leave pc and move to NES.

*Trey Harrison wants to know your location* Jokes aside,good job explaining all basics about Tetris.I am also one of the CTWC followers from 2015 and started playing tetris at home using my own emulator.My best score iş level 15 start with 570k i can't stand in level 19 tho.

Hello I want to ask something, sometimes in the nestopia controls delays or freezes so I can't turn the pieces. Why does that happens? I can't improve myself because of this. I want to do last time adjustments sometimes to save my ass but I can't when the controls freeze.

Its a bit chaotic and all over the place, but I still learned a lot. I'm sure a new one with your current level of experience in video making would help a lot of newer players who came in after the Blue Scuti news (like myself).

hello,Eric.May I ask about where did you get your plugins especially the one that shows how much das charge you have?

how do you customize the way tetris looks on the screen where you put that earth background?

I`m really confused emulation-wise about all the color palettes being thrown around for the nes and which one is the "most accurate". Which one would be the best for nestris?

@BennyBoy3497

2 жыл бұрын

There is no true answer to that because all TVs display colors slightly differently, therefore you can’t really recreate the same color pallet

@dragonusmolamola4140

Жыл бұрын

ive heard in a forum post some official virtual consoles have a similar color palette to fceux for example the nintendo 3ds

This video is perfect! So clear and easy to follow thank you so much

I tried this on my own 3ds virtual console. I didnt think it would allow a high level like that.

if you go the crt route, you can almost always find a 20-36 inch for free or 20$ max on places like craigslist or fb marketplace.. the nes and the games themselves are extremely cheap compared to other older consoles like the n 64. the majority of my nes collection i got from an old pawn shop thats not been able to get rid of them for years so they were pennies on the dollar. the original console and crt route seems intimidating if youre just starting out but its the best way to play the game in my opinion

when i click on nestopia, it says it isnt verified by windows. waht should i do to make it run?

Some comments about NES Tetris based on my personal experience: - When I first started, Level 19 felt like the Kill Screen. After a while I got good enough to make a few lines here and there but no amount of practice could help me score Tetrises consistently post-transition. - I tried hypertapping, found that my finger speed topped out at 5-6 Hz. It just would not go any faster. - As for my scoring, managed to break 400K. I think 600K might have been possible with more grinding and better use of DAS, but I think that's about the limit of my potential. - Practiced B-Type a lot too, I could clear 9-5 about 20-30% of the time but no higher. Reaction time, DAS control, and building skills just would not allow me to clear it any more often than that. I mean, it's a fun game, but I would advise you to be realistic with your expectations.

this whole tutorial does not clearly state what's going on and it's annoying. "this button here, this button, well this, this button here should be grayed out if you do not have a controller. if you do not have a controller these buttons should be grayed out. If you see this screeen... You know this copy right screen you did it right" By just audio alone you have confused me. I'm now 4:30 seconds in and I did not get any information that helps me understand what's going on just references to visual buttons on an emulator I don't use. I don't even know what emulator you're using.
