I made a 25% map with sharp lines and a slightly brightened background in non-level areas.

Make sure that you run the game in windowed mode so it is more responsive.

I actually find DTTHW to be one of the easier rooms in the game now, because I don't have to time anything to moving enemies or platforms or walkways.  It took me an hour of practice to beat the first time, and I wasn't sure that I was going to be able to beat it.  I played around in DTTHW a few minutes today, and way able to do it 4 times in a row. 

On the other hand, I've attempted the first time trial, and I've given up on getting any time trial trophies.

Another thing...  You can skip the trinket and still come back and get it on your first playthrough.

I did a few tests for input lag.

I used my digital camera to record a 30 FPS video of the game and the input device

New super mario bros DS:  1 frame of lag  (mario starts jumping the next frame after the button is pressed)

Cave Story fullscreen: usually 1 frame of lag time, 2 in a single test

VVVVVV fullscreen:  usually 5 frames of lag, 4 in one test

VVVVVV windowed: 3 or 2 frames of lag

My monitor is among the best of LCDs when it comes to lag.  Some monitors can add an additional 1-2 frames of lag (3-4 at 60hz)

I'll have to see if I can get a hold of a camera that takes video in 60 FPS.

It took me two 30 minutes practice sessions to beat DTTHW my first time.  (I hit the spikes on the right wall at the end once before my first good run).

Now it only takes me a few tries to beat.  I've even done it it twice in a row!

How do you do "getting there is half the fun?"  I come up the left side and return on the left side.
