oh yeah, i use it. what i meant is that my TV doesn't output image from the out jack it has when the source isn't a composite or s-video signal. for recording runs that's no problem since i'm using those cables already but if i want to stream something i'm not recording, i wouldn't be able to enjoy it with component quality and stream it at the same time.
you walk into the aether, walk out and time a jump right as you walk back into the room's box so you get the jump then strafe back over so you don't lose the height, and repeat
it's a lot more annoying to do in mp1 because if you mess up you can't change your direction in midair so you'll fall back down to the standard; setting yourself up in a corner so if you do fall you'll just land back in the aether again helps a lot
