The Attempts were a short-lived attempt at remastering the Minecraft Guides. However, they failed, in one way or another. Here is a list of reasons for fails:

• The original footage is filmed off an OG Nintendo 2DS camera. Unlike the modern New Nintendo 2DS, which has a bearable resolution of 480p and (unconfirmed) 30fps in terms of camera, the older 2DS has a whopping 240p, with a frame rate of 5-20fps (15 being average).

• The screen that had Minecraft being played on it is a CRT TV. The TV has a high refresh rate, and because the camera only records 20 frames per second, the camera couldn’t catch up with the TV’s image, causing the footage to lag behind for a few seconds.

• Because the footage is only 240p, the upscaled version of it appears slightly distorted, and the frame rate randomly drops at times.

• The CRT TV being used for the gameplay is interlaced. Interlaced does not work well with upscaling services.

• The textures of Minecraft seen on the TV were mistaken for artifacting by the upscaler, causing the game’s textures to look unnaturally smooth.

• Despite the fact that sometimes the upscaled footage appeared to be “okay,” the audio was very staticky and low-quality. The 2DS’ microphone was the cause for this.
