/vr/ - Retro Games

Trash faggot bot thread. Report and ignore.

>>10960492
Calm down

I’m an adult with other interests and I don’t need to make my living spaces look like the Nintendo World Store

>>10960506
That's fine, your setup doesn't need to be like the pic in the OP.
Post a pic of yours! I bet it's very serious and ominous, maybe like a modern Mcdonald's store.

>>10960489
Me and my wife just keep our games in an old wooden cutlery box, but neither of us keep old stuff so at this point it's mostly just a pile of gba, ds and 3ds carts. Same with dvds and vhs tapes. We prefer to decorate with plants and art and the like.

Kind of cool.

>How does your wife react to your craftmanship?
Anime pillows just lay there on the bed

>>10960489
Here.

I'm not even posting it to be provocative, I don't really have a set up, sold every old cartridge and CD, and now I stick to emulation only... my setup, if I can even call it that, is my TV, that I'd plug my laptop into through HDMI, and play with either a Sony DualShock 4, or an 8BitDo M30, depending on what ROM I'll go for. I'd like to have a proper space for my hobby in the future... just not now.

I'd say my GF is fine with the few things I still do own, and she's supportive for the most part, I'm going to ask her to marry me in August, then I'll finally be able to talk about my 'wife' like you all.

>>10960506
Sucks to be whipped.

>>10960837
I run my own shit, faggot. Nintendo stuff is baby aesthetics.

>>10960489
>wife
I don't even have a girlfriend

>>10960852
Ok, then lets see your cool ass Sega/PlayStation/Atari/Xbox setup.

>>10960489
Wife and I (both obese and ugly 38 year olds) just pile them up at the foot of the bed. Neither of us seem to care, because we both understand that life is a fucking scam and none of this plastic shit matters.

>>10960892
cool story bro

>>10960489
Is it me or does this shit just scream "over the top" like I can't lie and say this isn't a very well themed shelf but I'd kind of be embarrassed to have this in my house unless it was in my ten year old's room.

>>10960945
how is it any different to grandmas with porcelain dolls? OP had to use nails and hammer he's as manly as it gets!

>>10960945
The only way it wouldn’t seem weird, imo, is if your house was big enough to have an entire arcade style room. Having something like this for your average setup is a little tacky.

>>10960957
Why are you pretending Grandma's porcelain doll collection isn't also embarrassing?

>>10960489
I have that Game Boy candy. It rocks

Not really into figures but I do have a nice collection of Game Box Plus Famiclones and a single Pichu plush that I found at the thrift

>>10961005
You really think grandma is embarrassed by her knick knacks?

>>10961090
No because she's senile. What's your excuse?

>>10960489
Kek

>>10961104
Odd, mine isn't. Fun to know I'll have more years enjoying my hobbies than you.

>>10960489
Neat.
>>10960506
Fag.
>>10961005
Dolls are cute, fuck off.

current iteration, thinking about getting a "new old stock" 9" CRT instead of the OLED.

>>10960489
>its that time again
i knew the years would move quickly;
but never quite as fast as this....
>how do you your retro game spaces?
pic related, all cords controllers, etc hidden in storage tubs, when you have this many systems its required.
>how does your wife react
none of my ex gf ever cared besides one
a handful of them were quite skilled at vidya
honestly though most of the dates\time together didnt involve videogames whatsoever
tldr;
literally no one gives a shit what you have in your domicile, you cant take it with you when you die kek

16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

>dolls are cute
i wanted to collect\closet some vintage barbies
maybe the first 2-3 ever released too
could get expensive but dolls remind me of my grandma
she had to sell everything during hard times

>>10961256
jealous of your SG-1000, but where do you sit to use the TV in the corner?

>>10961247
theres a modern usb power supply for it
i think i picked mine up from "the brewing academy"
im still researching flashcart\floppy-drive emu
i want the complete library but i also want external drive support for the deepcuts

i got all of my systems for "cheap"
all of them are unmodified aside from recaps done by myself or tards that i trust

>>10961261
the photos make it look weird\cramped
there is enough room to fit an entire armless chair in the gap
the "gameroom" is pretty large
i wasted the largest room in the house on videogames

when using the large zenith i angle it a bit towards the center of the room
all the stuff on the ground is no longer there as it was blocking the ody2 and fairchildF

>>10961261
sg-1000 and markiii setup
this photo is literally horrible sorry

>>10961262
lol >>10961241, I'm too familiar with the brewing academy... You should get a FujiNet, it's everything all at once. Disk image mounting up to 8 drives iirc, XEX execution, Cartridge emulation, you can telnet into your modern PC or BBS with it, and it also works completely offline with a plain SD card. If you want a simple flashcart to get going, get an A8PicoCart from some DIYer online, they're open source, dirt cheap, and work flawlessly.

>>10961269
Ah, I thought it might be a perspective thing.
>>10961272
That's awesome. SG-1000 titles are largely what I'm using the ColecoVision clone for. It has flawless s-video too, which is really nice. I did get a Mark III recently since they are way cheaper and still have that SG-1000 industrial design.

>>10960945
>over the top
i keep all sealed items\collectibles closeted but to each their own

>>10960547
cute
my foyer\kitchen has all the live plants, large windows, etc
my bedroom used to have ZERO gaming shit too
>>10960508
everyone complains about mcdond
i prefer the new look over the grimy old
>>10960774
an anime display case AND a wife?! impossible!
i've met some seriously gorgeous women in the last decade and they were fuckin dorkotrons, played vidya, watched retarded 90s movies etc
>>10961241
do both but i would say to get a 14"
>cheaper
>more readily available
>you will actually use it as its large enough
get one with a vhs player built in, comfy

tldr;
>things change, keep your head up

>>10960945
I think its neat and i had a similar idea though mine was just placing two old 80s Mario and DK plushes i had at the top and bottom so it sorta looked like the first level. I dont exactly like the way this one looks though.

>>10961241
>>10961301
Do not get a built in VCR unless you're willing to open up the monitor and clean/replace the belts and pinch rollers.

>>10961280
thnx anon
>>10961290
i regret not scooping the dina game system when i had the chance
mark iii + everdrive is one of my favorite consoles
im not biased towards FM sound as i didnt have a SMS growing up (genesis instead)

>>10961308
just run it until it breaks
i have to and alternate them
if one breaks ill just resell it
the only monitor i've ever opened is my pvms
and that was because something was floppin around in that shiettt

>>10961313

>>10960827
Happy for you man, make some babies

>>10961320
HOT

>>10961313
Hopefully that happens without a valued tape getting chewed up in the process.

The BO Throne.

>>10961379
all my tapes were 10cents-75cents anon
i only watch cartoons kek

>>10961381
we know its you top hat gaming man

>>10960827
Basically same. Except I didn't sell all my stuff - they're in a large box, all the consoles and games and shit just tossed in there. Manuals in my walk in library though.
Laptop and PC and secondary monitor and eventually I plan on a large TV as well.
I won't have a proper space for retro setups in the future really, or least I have little intention of doing so - I could possible slap the hardware on the TV when I get it, but I don't care. I'll just have mostly a PC and 3-4 displays.

If anything I've thought of extending it to a handful of cheap laptops into some sort of portable LAN setup I can bring retro and older PC games to play. Pull up with 4 laptops and connecting gear and bam, we're playing some UT99, Quake, Doom, DOS games, or console games etc...

No GF or wife - and my friends are either mostly away or dealing with kids so it's not really even worth it for me right now. Maybe when their kids get older and they have more free time and the kids can play too.

>>10960945
>does this shit just scream "over the top"
It doesn't. It screams... They're also a DIYer and like decorating and building shit as a side hobby as well - and they've integrated that into their other hobbies - giving them something to do, in this game it's building aesthetic show cases for what they do have. If you want to see screaming over the top - go check out the guys with wall to wall gaming who've collected every cart for one or more systems all glassed up and shit like that. At the very least - people like that are useful for gathering rare copies of games that might get ripped. Worse is those people with the sealed shit. That's not even a gaming setup - that shit is a collectors disease.

>>10961386
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa

>>10961385
Valued, not valuable. I can understand how you see your tapes and hardware as disposable if you don't value them.

>>10961425
i am sentimental about other things
>family photos
>drawings
>paintings
i do not have any vhs tapes from my childhood
everything has been reclaimed
everything is functional and will be used until it fails\is destroyed

>>10961409
I KNEW IT

>>10961308
I have absolutely no nostalgia for VHS tapes, fortunately. Though I would consider a 2000s-era set with a DVD player.

>>10961320
>>10961356
Oh, I certainly will! I still have to marry her first, I'll probably do it by the end of next year, then a couple of years to enjoy ourselves, and then we can start having kids, hopefully a boy and a girl.

I'm lucky she likes video games too, had a few of SEGA's and Nintendo's consoles growing up, we finished off Super Bomberman, Bubble Bobble and a few other classics together in the last few months, I hope we can play with our kids too as the years go by, I've always liked to play sports video games with my dad growing up, still do in fact, I hope my son and I do it too in the future.

I'll admit, life, being an adult, is tough and scary, the responsibility... but I'm so lucky, and I'm glad.

>>10961391
You did well, I imagine this bubble's not popping any time soon, so having all of your stuff still is a gold mine, also good for keeping cherished stuff you're fond of. A TV is definitely a must for me, I think it'll be a good investment on your behalf. I like the LAN setup idea too... sounds SOVLFUL... hopefully your friends can find the time, maybe you'll get a GF... it came out of nowhere for me.

>>10961310
I recently modded an SMS II and got a chinese everdrive for it, which has been a blast. The ED clone is flashed to the "latest" firmware so I can't see the menu when I use it on my Mark III. If I only put 10-20 games on and make a list it's still pretty usable but not ideal.

>>10961409
based af if no larp

>>10961301
>i've met some seriously gorgeous women
We both know that's not true, on so many levels

>>10961429
>He doesn't have his grandparent's copy of Ray Stevens Comedy Video Classics he watched as a kid
I'm sorry to hear that. That notwithstanding I agree with you, I prefer testing VCRs using cheap thrift store finds, usually those crappy plastic clamshell Disney tapes and the like.

>>10961712
That would be ideal as there is less to replace, it wouldn't hurt to change out the tray belt regardless.

>>10961873
half the earth is female anon
plenty of cuties in california near the bay
if i was going to larp i would say i slept with ALL of them or something

>>10960827
How is Nintendo 64 emulation on LInux? Last time I tried running mupen64plus and it ran like a slog with graphical errors..

>>10961942
I'm not sure, for me it's not very good, but I can't tell if that's the OS' fault or if it's because my 10 year old laptop with 4GB of RAM and 512GB for HDD can't handle it too good... most likely it's all the latter's fault, but then again I can't tell you a thing about it for sure, I really need a new laptop.

Funny.

>>10960506

are you so sure? or do you lack the will to show your complete interests lest you be harshly scrutinized?

>half the earth is female anon
That you would assume a planets gender, to be non-binary no less, could explain a lot about why you're so confused about all these "women" you've been meeting

>>10963616
I'd call you obsessed, but that anon mentioned he's from California, so that checks out. Watch out and make sure your 'woman' doesn't come with a 'surprise' for you.

>>10964002
Only two things come from the bay area. And no matter how attractive Anon may find them they ain't women.
