So, lockdown and the coronavirus have taken centre stage recently, but now I've got chance to post an update about the Hyperkin cable. On my SNES, it seems to work great. I don't notice any lag. I've made sure to put the Samsung TV that I'm using into Game mode, and I turned off all post-processing. The picture quality was acceptable, however when I played Mario Kart Double Dash on the GameCube I was having trouble reaching my previous skill level. The kart just didn't seem to corner correctly. I couldn't put my finger on the exact cause. It didn't seem laggy, and other games seem OK, but I had this nagging doubt that it was lag. I received my Kaico GameCube HDMI adaptor, and of course the first thing I did was to try Double Dash. Viola, suddenly I can reach my previous skill level, leaving me in no doubt that the slight lag of the converter cable was affecting my precise timing of inputs. Suffice to say I'm very happy with the Kaico GameCube adaptor - more details coming in an upcoming post.As for the Hyperkin cable. I'm keeping it as it's still useful as a backup, but I'm going to buy a specific cable for my SNES now that I know the Hyperkin one introduces lag.
