I have an emulator running on my iPhone with some awesome old SNES games. It works flawlessly with a Dualshock 4 controller. I want to be able to mirror the game on my TV, but even a regular lightning to HDMI adapter adds a crazy amount of latency. Are there any other ways to achieve this with less latency?
Got a tip for us?

Unfortunately no, the Apple TV using the Airplay feature is worst, but it depends on your iPhone, old iPhone or Macs sometimes struggle with videos or apps.
I use both the HDMI adaptor (which i prefer) and an old Apple TV Gen 3, with a Macbook Air 2019 and iPhone 11 Pro Max and the videos runs smoothly (airplay or connected) but if I use my partner's iPhone 6S the videos always get stuck over Airplay.

That's a shame. I wonder why the adapter adds so much latency. Maybe this is another good reason for Apple to switch over to usb-c.
