[–] Viper_NZ@lemmy.nz 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) Some recent cheap, pelt poorly regulated LED lights flicker on and off at high speeds. Would it work with these? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Well actually pwm is used in everything except really expensive lights. Also if you timed it perfectly maybe? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Viper_NZ@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Oh I mean awful lights like your get from AliExpress where they’ve essentially just rectified the circuit but not bothered with caps so it’s flickering at 50/60Hz. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Ohh yeah. I think thats even better for cheating prob because the frequency is lower but i dont know how the game functions exactly so maybe its harder to cheat. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago At best, if it flickers at exactly the same as the framerate (60Hz NTSC or 50Hz PAL), you'll have a 50% chance. Either you pull the trigger on a light "frame" or a dark one, and it's followed by the opposite. You can do better than 50% playing normally. permalink fedilink source parent
