How YOU Can Play NES Tetris

What do you need to play NES Tetris for yourself? There are lots of different options depending on what you want to do.
During quarantines, practice social distancing and stay inside for as long as recommended by your community/government. Support a local business if you can by seeing if they order with delivery. For more information on safety with ordering online, read here: bit.ly/2WFAgOh

Thanks for watching! EDIT 12/2/2021: I made this guide when there were originally no other comprehensive guides out there, I think it still is mostly relevant but there are a few things I've learned over the subsequent year and a half that I would alter in the guide. 1) I would no longer recommend buying a Retro-Bit RES as an alternative console, although it is technically functional, there appear to be slight delay issues which negate some of the advantage of original equipment. Instead, buy a Retron 1 as a budget option and a Retron 1 HD or original NES for a higher tier option. 2) Just using OBS as standard recording/streaming software is fine. I would no longer recommend Streamlabs due to a whole host of issues and controversies. 3) EasyCap is still a usable budget option (it also doesn't require the CD software shown in the video to work, that is just capture software and you can use OBS instead), but cheap HDMI capture cards also do the job too. If you encounter interlacing in the input to OBS, turn on a deinterlacing filter. 4) Because I've had a few questions about it...Classic Score Attack in Tetris Effect: Connected is a nearly exact replica of NES Tetris and if you already have TEC, it's a serviceable introduction to the learning the mechanics of the game without having to deal with roms and emulators. However, you cannot use Classic Score Attack to play in NES Tetris tournaments and there will inevitably be a slight delay on the game feed due to your computer's processing time, so if you're serious about playing at a high level, original equipment is the best way to go.

Other options for "The Works" would include the slightly rarer top-loader NES, which will allow you to play both the NTSC and PAL versions of Tetris, and if you're looking to be a right-handed hypertapper: a Goofyfoot controller from TotalRadNES. Goofyfoot controllers are tournament legal at the CTWC.

[@fluffycritter]

For the mic, Monoprice has a really good 'podcasting/streaming' bundle which has a surprisingly good USB mic, a table-clamp boom mount, a pop filter, and a few other things, all for $60. For the console, I'd suggest that a "the works" category could include the Analogue Nt Mini or similar, especially handy if you're using it with a modern HDMI TV. And not all LCD TVs add substantial lag; look for one which supports 'game mode' or the like (which will generally reduce the lag to 1 frame or less), and OLED and the upcoming micro-LED TVs are basically lag-free.

Hey david thanks so much for the recommendation just got the game im waiting for the retro bit res can’t wait to practice

[@joelstatosky1817]

What I recommend is to not stress over the Crt an insane amount, as long as it is standard definition you will be fine. As well as having a better connection than RF. I found my self stressing so much over getting the crt when I could've just gotten a free one and been playing tetris while improving my skill. This is not like other retro games where they are slow and you have time to appreciate the graphics a lot. As long as it is decent you will be fine, your main issue is latency so get a standard definition tv

[@Bro3256Films]

I'm actually pretty lucky for the setup I currently have for NES Tetris. I use a Phillips CRT TV that has composite video out that I use for capturing video. What's really cool about this video out is that it can also record RF and S-Video sources but only in composite. Right now I play on an original NES but I'm considering moving to playing on the Famicom as it's smaller size fits my setup more than the big grey box although that would require getting a cartridge converter and a controller adapter if I ended up switching. The capture card I use is a Roxio EasyVHS card which I found at Goodwill of all places for $3 and it works perfectly and has S-Video support. I have my own custom NES OBS stream layout with a fullscreen webcam. The webcam I use is a Logitech 720p camera, it's not the best webcam but it gets the job done. All I need now is to just get better at NES Tetris.

[@aGameScout]

Nice! Sounds like a rock solid setup. Hope to see you in a future tournament!

[@MAGAIVER]

In my opinion "the works" console would be the NT Mini from Analogue Interactive, that console is a thing of beauty.

[@banone6384]

Why? The point is to create a setup as close as possible to the one used in actual competition. What purpose does spending $500+ on a nt serve?

[@carlosbrito8281]

Actually, although the video was a little long, it's a good guide to start play tetris. I have tetris ntsc and the original nes and really it's the perfect setup (oldschool feeling). About emulators, Retroarch (for example) with gpu hard sync and run ahead options AND using a gamer monitor has very good results about input lag, and the experience can be the same as the original hardware, if you know to configure. I'm testing because I put tetris on my original nes mini with retroarch, so I avoid wireless controller and I can play with nes mini controller. I recorded videos with tetris, testing many options and analysing frame by frame. It was hard work, but to training like the original hardware, it was necessary. And It's a good way to play tetris too, if you don't have the option or don't want to buy the original setup (heavy crts, av cables, audio frequency noise...I know, I know, old stuff). About imitation hardware, one point that we need to remember: Is the imitation a built-in emulator or is a imitation of the hardware itself? If it's an emulator, the probably of incoming lag is equally on pc without proper configuration and you probably want to avoid this. That said, try to find an imitation of the hardware itself.

[@venialgaming4295]

If you have the original nes there is both composite and rf, so you don’t need a splitter to record video, in addition on some modern lcd TVs if you hook it up through rf it automatically goes to 4:3 mode.

[@semilogo7779]

Boom, upload for David

[@sleevelessace7920]

Such a helpful video thank you

[@miserepoignee9594]

If you ran out of stuff to spend money on, here are some other items that would be a step up even from "The Works" options mentioned here: Distribution amplifier: If you use the y-cable splitters like the ones shown in the video, you will notice the image on the TV is noticeably darker than when you don't have them in and the cable just goes from the console to the TV. That's because dividing the signal makes it so that neither the capture card nor the TV gets the full strength signal. A distribution amplifier fixes that problem by using electronics to bring both the output streams up to the original strength. At around $20 on eBay, I'd say it's a really worthwhile step up. PVM: These are the fancy TV's he showed at 9:50. Being professional grade, they display colors A LOT brighter and clearer than a normal TV. Downside is you will most likely need some BNC to RCA converters to hook up to it. And that they can be pretty expensive/hard to find. If you're looking for a CRT, I would recommend E-waste recyclers or contacting your local Super Smash Bros. Melee community in addition to the sources from the video. Capture card: A noticeably better capture card than the EZ cap will run around $50-100. There is a difference in quality, but whether it's enough to warrant spending that kind of money is a matter of debate. If you're satisfied with what you have now, I'd say to save your money. If you are interested in looking for more, search for The Thrillness's reviews, which go into a lot of detail about the picture quality and other features various models offer.

Hey David, I previously asked when this video released if it were possible to get and use an NTSC console in a PAL region, in my case UK, and you were a great help to me in the comments beyond the video itself, I was wondering if you knew if it is possible (and safe) to use a UK (or any non american) power supply directly on an NTSC NES, or if you could point me to someone or community that would know for sure and I couldn't find a 100% sure answer, which I would like to have to assure I don't waste my money buying an NTSC console i can't use

[@harrybaxter9110]

A much better option for a microphone in my experience is the AT2020 (XLR NOT USB) and the Focusrite Scarlett Solo for your audio interface (the USB version has a pretty substantial hum coming from the passive power in the USB not being suited properly to the microphone, the XLR version with the interface is much better because it provides exactly the power it needs and no excess along with giving you better control of audio levels. the microphone + interface + cables and stand is around $200 so its a little more than conventional USB microphones like the YETI pictures in the video, but the quality in return is more than worth the price.

[@charlesmayberry2825]

Notes on the audio section. Any condenser microphone has bass drop off over distance (actually any microphone at all), This is called Proximity effect. The further you get from it, the more hollow it will sound, The blue yeti is multipattern meaning The usable range of distance and angle isn't set in stone like more professional microphones (Professional as in music studio gear I should say "more expensive specialty microphones" because the Blue Yeti is professional enough in broadcasting). There's a trade off in quality as well that the blue yeti has some weird compression that happens that some microphones don't have (streaming that's actually an upside as it means vocal quality may reduce over distance but the volume falloff is not proportional, volume fall off is every time you double the distance to the microphone the physical sound pressure, the actual energy hitting the microphone is halved. so from 3 inches away to 6" the pressure moving the mic is halves, at 12" it's half again, compression helps combat that a lot) Using a high end microphone also comes with needing an interface that can take XLR connections from the microphone and turn that into a usable digital signal. So using something higher end comes with needing more gear, more time, it's can be a lot more annoying. The take away here, Higher quality in audio may work against you unless you have a specific reason for needing better, the blue Yeti is the standard for streaming for a reason, it's a good compromise between quality and just being able to use it without having to gain stage your inputs worry about compression and noise gating everything.

[@daniwalmsley611]

Great video. Really appreciate the effort you put into it. However, you're bit about streaming software is kinda wrong. Streamlabs OBS (SLOBS) should be the "in a pinch" while OBS should be considered the essentials/works. Everything you can do in SLOBS you can do and more in OBS. All the Trey stuff you talked about can be done in OBS. OBS is way more flexible than SLOBS and gets encoder features faster. SLOBS is an easier to use but less customisable version of OBS. Its great for most people but it has its issues and I would highly recommend that if you can learn to use OBS you'd be better of with it.

check out Retro RGB 'Rad2x' - these no lag range including super Nintendo / Nintendo allow for the original consoles to play perfectly on HDMI TVs. The youtube channel has a great breakdown of this. I'm not sure about your console - seems like an emulation clone console but if you are going to get a clone NES - I recommend the AVS from Retro USB or for the higher end market, NT Analogues Nt Mini consoles - these are FPGA consoles meaning they don't emulate software like the NES you are using but emulate accurate chips - which the NES uses, leading to a near-perfect accuracy (not to mention an inbuilt game genie and HDMI). Anyway, great video and hope I've been able to help any potential Tetris players.

[@gcolombelli]

Just a small, awkward note: despite the PAL-M name, Brazil's analog television standard is based on the same 525 lines, 30 frames per second CCIR System M that NTSC is based off, it's just the chroma signal that is encoded in a way that's similar to PAL, but it's not a 625 lines, 25 fps System B style that PAL is known for. I believe most consoles and games sold in Brazil were based on the NTSC versions because of that. You can get a black and white picture using a NTSC signal in a PAL-M TV and vice-versa, the luma and sync signals are essentially the same... well, except that PAL-M is still 60 fields per second IIRC, not 59.94-ish fields per second like NTSC, so there may be some audio pitch issues? IDK.
