/vr/ - Retro Games

more pics

Pretty snug set up OP, the fact there's nothing occupying space here ignites my autism though

>>2660070
I don't want to put any systems on the carpet, and the power strips are all on the other side...

>>2660070
Looks like a good spot for a sega genesis.

>>2660064

>sanic
>pokemon
>shrine

That's some high quality autism.

Nice shelves though.

>>2660084
Too many meme NES games.

I'm the type that gets rid of shitty games and only holds onto good ones.

>>2660108
>meme NES games

wow

just

wow

>>2660051
No controllers plugged into the nintendo for taking a picture?

...

>>2660108
Dont listen to that fag. U got some good stuff there m8.

>>2660121
Oh sorry, I should've just said what I actually meant: Shitty.

>>2660149
Yeah, I'm sure he played Hydlide for more than a grand total of 10 minutes.

>>2660152
That's better

Beautiful socks, OP.

>>2660084
>NES games not in alphabetical order.

I-I just... Come on.

>>2660084

>babbysfirstnescollection.jpg

You can tell the quality of a collection when Silent Service is present.

>>2660206
Awww c'mon. It's a solid title. It's not it's fault it sold like crack at an addict convention.

>tfw want to post
>room is messy as fuck
I guess its an incentive to finally clean up.

>>2660250
You can do it, anon!

I play them in an urban setting.

Here's where I play the classics. I really need to find a couch so I don't have to keep using dinning room chairs and/or the floor.

Right now the retro goes to both the screens. Makes it easier for if I ever want to record gameplay, just need to unplug one and plug it into the comp

>>2660250
Ya could just post it anyway. Mine is from a couple weeks ago when I was moving in.

Although I guess it is bretty ugly, function over form I guess

>>2660305
The other half of the mess

>>2660305
I can just imagine someone sitting in that wooden chair, stretching his arms up leaning back and accidentally bumping into the back of the monitor.

>>2660108
are you retarded?

>>2660260
Im about to hit the sack, and then go to bed (huehue) I'll finish tidying up and post it tomorrah.

>>2660354
Did I trigger you?

>>2660305
So many monitors.

>>2660332
Unfortunately (thankfully?) none of my friends wanna play retro with me, so it never comes up. Maybe if I had a couch..

>>2660394
In the second pic, from left to right around the room
>head for server (unnecessary)
>head for headless laptop, used for /diy/ stuff
>Spare monitor for anything that might need it
>Two monitors for main machine

Used to have more for main comp, but once I switched to Linux completely they became obsolete

>>2660408
How come you don't have a CRT VGA monitor?

>>2660408
seems like you could use a KVM switch, bruh

>>2660196
I actually ordered by level of shit. I bought Jekyll, Deadly Towers, and Dragon's Lair so I'd have a base line for how bad a NES game could be.

>>2660417
That's handy for when you're drunk and wanna play something shitty but not TOO shitty I suppose.

>>2660409
I guess I don't really have a use for them. Most everything I do is modern enough to not need those better color ranges. I have pic related, but it's likely next up on the chopping block to learn how it works.

Also holy shit that shelf is breaking

>>2660412
Yeah, I dunno. The server really doesn't need anything plugged into it but power/ethernet. It's just hooked up because I had the stuff already. The laptop is so I don't have to move back and forth from my comp and /diy/ area, and so I can just preconfigure it with the stuff I need.

KVM might be good for the rasperry pi, but prolly easier solved via software/phone app

>>2660106
Fuck dude, that shit wasn't intentional. I just display stuff I've collected over time. I got a lot of the stuff from shops in when I've visited NYC.

>>2660421
Do u keep all those monitors on all the time? Ur comp + all those monitors + systems + the rest of the house = you about to get raided for cuss they think u r growing.

>>2660305
>>2660307
>those monitors
>those chairs
>that spoopy painting in the back corner
nice try i guess

My home cinema

My arcade stick.

N64 and Mega Drive are behind the TV, and I use my PS2 for PS1 games.

Plus the TV is hooked up to the computer for any emulation I want to do with wireless controller.

>>2661350
Umm you have to be over 18 to post here...

>>2661364
>trying this hard...

>>2661408
Is typing 1 sentence trying hard?

I mean you have a bunch of dolls and games that aren't retro, along with cartoons on the wall and some hipster art?

I just don't see a functioning adult in society having these things.

I think the cars outside have UK plates though, so that would explain it, everyone over there is inbred and/or fugly

There goes an hour of my life.

I'll post once I'm done cleaning. Today is going to be a hard cleaning I think now...

I always hated that fucking coffee table.

>>2661420
i don't have NESRGB, the composite is for NES only. I get RGB from SNES and PS2, and soon to be component from the Wii. also i use that distribution amplifier to split audio to my capture cards

>>2661427
So you're poor, got it

>>2661429
i'm sure you wouldn't mind buying me an RGB AV Fami then? :)

>>2661350
This is kinda sad to see.

>>2661426
Are you retarded?

>>2661430
Sure give me the address and I'll just ship you mine.

>>2661426
What possessed you to wash your glass table in the shower?. Have you ever seen your parents clean? Do you think they take stuff into the shower and wash stuff?

This has to be bait. Nobody is this stupid. It's like you've never heard about cleaning products.

Holy shit the thought process you must've had to think taking it into the shower was a good idea baffles me.

Where I play most of my games. The right monitor is usually rotated for reading and tate games. Picked up the PVM from a video production company who was switching to 100% digital/HD; in retrospect I should have grabbed a couple of them.

Moving in a month or two, going to get a bigger desk and a 14 ~ 15 inch PC CRT for a 3rd monitor, it'll be doing DOS and Emulation duties.

>>2661440

Systems live in the closet, each bin has a controller and cables. Additional controllers are all in bins. It's pretty convenient and keeps clutter to a minimum.

>>2661440
>>2661442

My main TV, it's a HD CRT the Wii is mostly on emulator duty these days. Usually has at least one old system hooked up to it. That stand is a beast, the drawers hold my loose NES and SNES carts, and it's able to support that 280lb TV.

>>2661435
finna throw some hands m8?

>>2661450
Thanks for reminding me to filter "m8"

Stay poor!

>>2661454
what a cunt

>>2661467
yeah he's a bit of a douche

>>2661442
>Systems live in the closet
My nigguh. So much nicer not having systems everywhere. Plus they're all in water tight bins in case theres a flood here (I live below sea-level)

I will rate you all from least poor to poor (But let's be honest, you're all pretty poor.)

Starting with least poor and ending with most poor.

seriously goyim?

>>2661426
I feel for you but I legit KEK'd.

Also, why was the glass in your coffee table tempered? It shattered into fine pieces.

>>2661505
Hey man there's nothing wrong with being poor, I just get to laugh at you for your life choices.

>>2661518
Beats me I honestly had no idea it was tempered until it shattered everywhere.

The design of the coffee table was stupid as fuck. Its got 2 slide out drawers, and then a ridge and this stupid glass plate sits on top. There was literally no reason for it.

Got it all cleaned up and bagged now. Cleaning resumes.

>>2661521
are you a cuck?

>>2661535
Are you poor?

comfy

>>2661540
You may be rich, but judging from your attitude in a god damned station thread it really must suck to be you.

>>2661540
I make nearly $110k a year but I still can't be assed to make a battlestation

>>2660051
>Where do you play the classics, /vr/?
Anywhere I want.

>>2660064

KNUCKLES IS GONNA SUFFOCATE! YOU MONSTER LET HIM OUT!

I wonder when Emulator people will show up to crap up the thead...

>>2661641

... oh, there it begins.

>>2661691
He wanted to see where I play my retro, I play it everywhere and whenever. I just wish Vita emulators will get better soon, because it's SNES and GBA is still not perfect.

>>2661715
>plays emulators
>doesn't make them
>whines that they aren't perfect

Every fucking time

>>2661691
yeah cause the thread was pristine when it was filled with "ur poor" "no ur no life"

honestly the entire thread is shit setups with only 1 pvm and hes not even using rgb

>>2661773

You are not helping.

>honestly the entire thread is shit setups with only 1 pvm and hes not even using rgb

As always you can get 1-2 decent persons in a thread, but on the whole people will always end up shitting the place.

>>2661734
he should just code his own cycle accurate emu like a real man

>>2661475

Way less fucking dust to deal with as well.

Can anybody explain to me this poor meme ?
It has to do with consumerism ?

>>2661806
>in college
>term project we got to do whatever we wanted
>I coded an SNES emulator in C and Assembly

You think ZSNES is bad? My emulator was the biggest piece of shit ever, but it kinda worked, which was enough to get me a 80%

>>2661840
did it support the MSU1? it's important for accuracy to implement things that never existed

>>2661842
nice try but that is very obviously an old promotional shot, probably for some store

>>2661842
fuck i wanted to win that so bad

>>2661846
My emulator ran at like 80% speed with "compatibility" for all of like 3 games.

It was garbage. If I had more then 3 months to work on it (I also had other classes/commitments) it would've been better and I would've gotten it to be running at full speed and work with more games.

My teacher was a bro though, he just thought it was a unique and cool project (seriously, you can only grade so many stupid programs like "Audio-mixer", or some stupid Database thing, for the 100th time), and an avid game player and even though it didn't work that well he still gave me a good grade. He also had a ROM dumper, so he brought it in and we dumped our own roms and tested them, was pretty cool.

Its definitely satisfying to play a game on an emulator you made, but my god its shitty.

>>2660305
>>2660307
Damn. Imagine if it all just burned up.

Ok Finally got it "clean enough" for some pictures.

My desk with my PC and my little CRT and console. I'm sorry if a PS2 triggers your autism but I was playing God Hand and I'm not gonna be ashamed of it.

I may get a bigger CRT in the future. but this setup is pretty comfy.

>>2661898
Then theres my HDTV and my sectional couch. Couch reclines on the edges. Thats my piece of shit coffee table where the glass broke earlier today. I need to get those cables pulled through the wall like the rest of them for the consoles.

Theres also my router in the corner.

>>2661734
My god you're right.. why have I been wasting my life!

>>2661904
I'll just post the "retro" section of my games shelf. Where the Clint Eastwood picture is used to be the spot where I had my old 42" TV but since my sister moved into a new apartment and didn't have a TV I gave it to her. Was pretty comfy playing shit like Resident Evil 5 co-op with a buddy though.

All my consoles are in tubs in my bedroom closet.

I really need to paint this room white or grey or something

>>2661313
BEEP Shop makes some pretty nice collections of systems and software, and that one's not even my favorite.

>>2660051
Cozy as fuck

>>2660307
Cluster fuck, but I'd chill with you

>>2661350
Not my style, but I'm into it.

>>2661313
Give me plz

>>2661416
I want your TV. What model is that one?

>>2661440
Legit PC setup, but the retro area seems like it would be uncomfortable. I like separating my PC from retro shiz. Nice stuff tho
Attached is me

>>2661914
This like the 10th time there's a Clint Eastwood picture in one of these rooms

>>2662031
Doesn't get more retro then Clinty-E

>>2661350
What's that witchy looking stuff that you've got the posters of?

>>2661454
You're kind of a cock, buddy.

>>2662062
Not him but its from a short anime film called "Little Witch Academia".

Theres a second one now as well.

They're pretty good, definitely worth a watch if you're into anime.

Heres a link to the second one. This shitty site I used to watch JoJo doesn't have the first one, you'd have to search for it.

http://www.animefreak.tv/watch/little-witch-academia-mahou-shikake-no-parade-movie-online

>>2661840
>>2661871
You wrote a SNES emulator in C/ASM that worked well enough to actually play several games, and your teacher who clearly understands emulators, console hardware, etc., who was your bro only gave you a grade of 80%?

Fucking engineers, I swear.

>>2661898
Nothing in this picture is retro according to /vr/ rules.

>>2662068
Hey, thanks man! At first I thought it was Kiki's Delivery Service since it looks like he's got Porco Rosso playing a couple feet away.

>>2662076
He was easily the hardest marker I've ever had. He also has a pretty big boner for Assembly.

He gave people who had almost fully-realized Audio mixers 60-70's, some guys made a pretty cool program that let you interface with all your social media via one program (so you could do a "post to all" type thing, as well as manage stuff individually from their program) and they got 75%.

No one got even close to 100%, and I was one of the highest marks in the class. A lot of people went to the Department head about it too.

Granted most people botched the mandatory write up about how what you were doing was innovative or unique/interesting, mandatory check-ins and updates, and there was also a presentation that a lot of people flubbed. I kinda lucked out because games are cool and even if the emulator runs like shit its impressive to see something running during a presentation.

From the thumbnail I thought that chair was a kiddie pool.

Usually people on Craigslist are just cleaning out their attics and selling all their old games in one big batch. So I tend to accumulate them. Does come in handy though, since I loan out a lot of them too

Undeniably hoarder/dirty though. Can't really afford a big enough place to keep all my shit. Which makes it kinda weird >>2661486 thinks I'm least poor

>>2663934
don't take it personally i was just being an edgelord

>>2661440
porta pro, minimus 7, CA-510, 2265,

>>2661350
That hardly looks retro, anon.

>>2661430
An RGB capable NES/Famicom is like less than $150 done by someone capable. How fucking poor are you?

This is very much a work in progress. The TV also appears to be a non-starter because it introduces several inches of shift to the left when using RGB from NTSC sources, and I can't fix it (same anon from the CRT thread, if you were also there). All of my (PAL) games are on shelves to the left of this picture.

>>2665178

Your component signal is being downscaled to 480i dumb fuck.

>>2661350
Are you a girl?

Why did you black out parts of the SNES and the cart on the desk?

>>2663758
So I guess we should all follow the gold standard of your valuable opinions?

Sorry for the poor quality.

How is it?

>>2667775
dismal as fuck. Why is it in an inaccessible corner of the room without even a chair to itself? Looks like someone just did a bad job at hiding it away. Although I'm guessing you're one of the only people in this thread with a spouse, so you have that going for you at least. Just be glad she puts up with it at all I guess.

I need to organize my snes games properly, so they're not inside some shoe box...

And a nice Pioneer SX-1980 receiver would be nice too.

>>2661308

horrible

>>2667805
dude not everyones living room focal point is the tv, he's clearly got a fire place with a mantle, a reading chair and what appears to be a coffee table there. perhaps you'd rather see the mantle lines with amiibos and sanic figures? perhaps he could shove a pvm trinitron in the fire place itself? get killed.
>without a chair to itself
i see one in the bottom left, directly facing the screen, also there is a couch right there.

>>2667805

As >>2667837 pointed out very well, the focal point of the room is the fireplace, not the T.V., and there's indeed a quite confortable chair facing the screen.
This is my house and I live alone... I guess I just don't need to sprawl my stuff everywhere; even if I've been playing video games for nearly 30 years, that's not my most defining trait so I don't need to showcase it?

>>2667187
>hating on my DJ Okawari album cover wallpapers
fite me.

>>>2667751
My parents found that in a rental property that the renters left. They had some game stuff that they asked me to look through and sell for them.

I dont even know if that thing works, I ordered a cable from eBay because they didn't have any charging cables with it. I might keep it but I'll probably just make sure it works then sell it.

>>2667262
>>2667262
As old as the internet.

>>2661308
so I'm guessing you like furry

I'd like to take a battlestation pic of the new one I just set up since I moved, but I don't have a TV yet! And I don't think my TV will ever be satisfactory, because I know I'm not going to be able to lift a hefty CRT up the stairs to my apartment by myself. The most I can carry by myself is probably about 75lbs. That pretty much means I'm not going to be able to move a 27", and maybe not even anything larger than a 20". With my couch 10 ft away from the shelf with my consoles, I think I might just resort to an LCD off craigslist.

>>2667628
Good to see another laserdisc player on /vr/.

for now

>>2667982

Lookin good anon, what kind of setup is holding your wide screen pvm?
Its made of metal right? how much does that particular one weigh?

I want something about desk height maybe ikea that can hold a 20L2MDU

>>2667830
t-thoughts?

>>2667986
metal casing, yeah. D24E1WU weighs ~110 lbs.
I think the thing holding it up is a kid's desk. it was being thrown away down the street with a bunk bed, so I can't really help with a recommendation. cardboard box is holding up the consoles. I'm holding off on paying for a decent setup until my living situation is more permanent.

>>2667996
just realized you were talking about the table being metal and not the monitor...
nah, it's wood. I was skeptical and careful putting it on there, but it seems to do the job.

>>2667830
Nice simple and clean. Needs a little more things. Maybe a game shelve?

before i moved a pvm to my desk
the big tv below that works 2 just need to hook the toploader back up through rf BARF

>>2668289
aw i bet you and your wife get along so much better now that the retron isn't taking up all the space, leaves you extra room to vacuum for ja?

>>2668289
I thought the Powerpak didn't work in the Retron?

i'm a scum-of-the-earth Let's Player and reviewer of retro. hate me.

>>2668353
we already did

>>2668353
it's nice you don't have a retron, but when you get a wife boy oh boy will you need one. Cool diapers on your desk in the last pic. nice to see a fellow furry on the board.

>>2668358
what diapers
what the fuck

I would post my collection but people shit on me because I use MAME

>>2668370
I think he was referring to the yellow/blue thing under your PS4 controller in the bottom middle picture. what even are those?

>no retro pc games big boxes anywhere

>>2668374
It might look like I actually play the consoles around my screen but I really use nothing but emulators on CRTs.

>>2668376
a napkin, i was eating lettuce wraps

Old pic. Has since been updated

>>2668468
You spent $300 on a single piece of video equipment and you can't spend $150 on an appropriate piece of furniture to house your shit?

>>2668524
The neogeo was bought years before I had the CRT. Money has been tight since then so I wasn't able to upgrade my set up. Plus I want to fit both the LCD and CRT on one stand so I'm planning to get it custom built

>>2667229
why are you acting like that was a thing i was supposed to know

>>2668615
It's a commonly known tidbit that NTSC-J copies of games are nearly always less expensive than their US counterparts, and that the US copies of X2 and X3 are particularly pricey.

US copies of X2 top $100 easy on their own, where even on a bad day you can pick up the J copies together for half that. X3 is even worse.

>>2668675

Someone once told me its because the japanese take care of their stuff and usually hold on to boxes and the entire shabang.

Is there any truth to that at all or is it just the retro bubble at work?

>>2661350

I really like your pillowcase and comforter anon

patriotic and looks comfy as fuck

>>2668731
It's likely a combination of factors that really couldn't be singled down into a single trigger.

Maybe things had larger runs over there; Maybe they were kept in better condition and in circulation; Maybe it's a considerably smaller country with much higher concentrations of just about eveything.

I'm still straddling the line whether I want to build a mame machine, or get a Neo-Geo MVS, or just some other cabinet.

Theres pluses and minuses to all three. Obviously Mame lets me play almost anything, but I dunno, I like having the real hardware. I don't think I'm a super purist, but I do tend to go for real over emulation.

Although it occurs to me now I haven't used an emulator since I was in University.

Anyone have an ikea kullen?

How well does it hold video game stuff?

>>2668980
It has a ton of minor perks to make up for the slight lack of accuracy IMO

1. More controller choices
2. 720p - 1080p (gamecube, ps2)
3. Integrated cheat engine
4. HD texture hacks
5. Save states allow you to save anywhere
6. Netplay
7. Rom hacks (esp. hard type for easy games like Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger)
8. Eng translations rom hacks / no region lock
9. 60 fps hacks
10. No memory cards needed
11. Switching game is much faster
12. Ease of access (3 clicks from your computer)
13. Fast forwarding / frame skip / slow-mo
14. Saves yourself the cable management
...and probably more shit I forgot.

They're all very small perks for the most parts but I think its a fair trade for a bit of minor glitches now and then.

Netplay is so great for dead fighting games like Darkstalkers, especially when your casual roommate plays nothing but Dota 2, Battlefield and CS:Go.

>>2668969
That's not a framemeister doofus

>>2669074
you forgot antialiasing, texture filtering / anisotropic filtering

>>2669074
i can see why someone would prefer emulation over the hardware, but playing on an emulator just doesn't feel the same, it's like comparing porn to real sex
you get a lot more features but it feels fake

>>2669076
Darn. There was a risk of that.

Ok well I still recommend checking out Ikea and seeing if you can get something a little more balanced looking for housing the consoles.

>>2669184
The white stand is from IKEA. I bought years ago before I got the CRT I wanna get a stand that can house both the CRT and the LCD plus my consoles, but they don't have em that big in IKEA

>>2669312
What they do have is modular units that come in fixed sizes, which you can fix together to create pieces in any size or shape you want.

Check out "besta." It comes in basic units that are like 2 ft wide and 15 inches deep in two different heights, and you can stack them or combine them horizontally like legos.

>>2669315
How much do they usually go for?

>>2668970
Hey New Day is the most entertaining part of WWE right now. Didn't you watch last nigths RAW with Xaviers trombone terror and final fantasy victory fanfares?

What possesses someone in 2015 to review games that have been out for well over a decade and that anyone can try for free any time they want to? I honestly don't understand retro reviewers or the people who watch them at all.

>>2669792
he doesn't seem to be too bright

>>2669792
you talking about in the n64? looks like the usual expansion pak to me

>>2669325
The basic building block is like $50 and then you pay a little more for extras like doors or drawers. They come in single units, 2x1 double-width units, and 150% taller units. They can be attached to each other in rows or stacks and also mounted directly on walls like hanging shelves.

What shelf is holding up the CRT?

>>2669959
opls

>>2670902
its fine, I hot glued it to the side of the tv.

>>2668675

Last time I was in Japan I picked up Sonic Wings for Y1000 and Rockman X2 & 3 for Y1500 each. Plus a bunch of PS1 games for next to nothing.

They still have crazy expensive retro games over there, but a lot of the titles that command high dollars here are dirt cheap there. PC engine titles are getting expensive though, even commons were Y3000+ and the white Core Duo systems were upwards of Y8000 in Osaka, so probably over Y12,000 in Tokyo.

>>2668731

Nah, when you go to used game stores, 99% of Famicom and Super Famicom carts are loose. The employees do take care to remove stickers and writing from them though. And just like here, PC Engine and Megadrive carts are usually complete.

PS1 games that are loose or missing bits usually get tossed into Hard Off's junk piles, unless it's something really rare and valuable. Junk bins usually have some great deals if you're willing to dig through them.

Best in thread.

Does anyone know anything about DLPs?

I was playing on one and could not for the life of me sense any lag (and I'm usually a stickler)

I'm gonna test it at some point

Are they the true bastion of retro gaming?

>>2672302
Rear Projection in my experience are fucking terrible.

They're huge.

Like even bigger then a standard CRT.

The picture looks terrible, and they require incredibly precise lighting (too light = can't see, too dark = can't see).

How's it look?

>>2674023
anon...

>>2674023
it looks a bit comical because tv is too small for that shelf. I like it.

>>2668784
he is a brit

>>2674064
I know... The truth is I just moved here and I've been living here for like 2 weeks without a TV of any kind. Finally got that monitor today, so I set it up and took a picture.

I think ultimately I'd like to have a a 32" or so LCD for normal TV purposes, and then I could keep this little guy next to it on the shelf. But I've spent so much fucking money moving in here that I'm not sure I'll be willing to spend for a real TV any time soon.

Recently got a Famicom, and I now have the New 3DS as opposed to the old one.

My old bs before I decided to move across states and ditch the heavy ass CRT.

>>2674023
Level your speakers, get a bigger TV and plug in those consoles so you can actually play them, you neat man, you.

Also I have had that same switch for about 15 years.

>>2675379
The consoles are plugged in, it's just that the controllers are stored in baskets inside the cabinet on the right of the photo.

As for the speakers, I'm not sure how I could get them both on the level shelf without messing up the surround sound. See how the L and R units have those diagonally angled panels on the upper half? So if I put the right speaker down on the lower shelf like how the left one is, its diagonal part will be pointing right into the taller cabinet. I guess I could try moving the speakers to the front of the shelf and putting them both on either side of the monitor instead of on the edges. Might try that I guess.

>>2674863

46" LED connected to PC for everything but handheld games. for handheld games psp or 3ds.

games just look better in the emulator especially n64,ps1 and ps2 games.
i would never play on a crt. i understand that it has to do with nostalgia, but me as the purist i want the best possible picture without distortion and technical limitations of that age. i even prefer NES emulated without any filters nor ntsc colors nor anything. its like choosing vhs titanic on crt over blu-ray titanic on hdtv.

>>2677215
>purist
>uses HDTV and emulators

I don't think oyu know what purist means.

>>2677219
i know exactly. i'm an image purist. not an 1:1 emulation purist, that is secondary to me.
i even have the older consoles except the nes, and i still prefer emulation. funny isn't it? I play Ocarina of Time in 3840x2160p widescreen hack, although I have the original right here.

>>2660051
What's the reason for having both a PS1 and PS2 hooked up?

Simple and tidy. Replace the old computer desk at some point. A corner unit would look good but judging how your bed is positioned, it could be awkward to look at your television.

Not the previous guy, but I just have fun making videos and talking about old games.

Although I've been trying to step away from reviews. Instead, I'm basically just like, "hey, look at this mostly bad game that does a cool thing."

I don't think there's that much of a difference other than that I don't try to give a complete picture of a game. I'll just hit the main points points and then go into detail about something that stands out.

I can't stand Let's Plays though. But if it makes him happy doing it, not my business to tell him to stop.

Microsoft ICE can stitch videos pretty flawlessly. Start shooting an HD video and swivel yourself all around trying to catch everything and feed it into ICE. Then you can crop an image out of the panorama that will look like this but without the big missing corners.

>>2680198
Gentlemen, let this post remind you why you send your children to school.

pic is a month old, but still pretty accurate. Anyway i'm planning to move in like a month so i'll have to wrap all dis shit. Any tips to ensure the best protection while moving 100kms away ?

>>2661440
>The right monitor is usually rotated
But it's a square.....

>>2681656
uhh you put it in a box

>>2681656
100kms is nothing. I moved 3000 miles (5000kms) last month. Packed my shit in suitcases wrapped up in clothes and towels and checked them onto a plane.

The TSA opened every single bag because they all looked like bombs (plastics and wires all over the place), and I'm sure the baggage handlers gave them an extra kick for being so heavy, but everything made it through in one piece.

>>2681656
I would get some big tupperware tubs.

I'm renovating and the first thing I needed to move was my gaming shelf so I bought more bins (my consoles are in these same ones currently). They're a little on the pricey side (20 CDN) but they're pretty rugged and it makes moving them easier. Plus they stack in themselves so they take up minimal closet space and can be easily re-used or used for storing other stuff.

Dealing with cardboard boxes for moving is a fucking horrible experience. It will probably cost you the same as buying bins if you go get boxes to move, and they aren't nearly as sturdy. They break, they get dented and don't protect nearly as well, and if they get wet you're fucked.

Those 6 50 quart bins hold basically my entire collection.

>41 NES
>40 SNES
>18 N64
>19 Genesis
Keep in mind all my cart games are also in UGC.
>84 PS1
>73 PS2
>73 PS3
>15 PS4
>19 GC
>10 Wii
>4 Wii-U
>10 Gameboy (in gameboy cases)
>14 Xbox

I think its worth it because when I inevitably move again (if its 2 years, or 10 years) I'll know most of my collection fits, and I can throw more games in the less full console bins if push comes to shove.

>>2668902
very cute tv, It looks super good with that pc engine core 2

I post retroarch wii pics on my crt all the time and vr thinks they're real..

>>2682970
ugh I'm an idiot for not posting a quality shot of the tube in the space.

I'm sure rgbs provide a slightly better picture, but for not having all the consoles, needing a switcher and worrying about noise, and last but not least owning the actual cartridges in this economy, I'm more than satisfied with my setup.

is there anything retro arch does better than the basic emulator packages?

>>2682950
How are you getting Snes9XGX to output 240P? Where's the setting? In the video mode options inside Super Metroid, for example, all I can see are Auto, 480i NTSC, 480P, Pal 50hZ and Pal 60Hz... Is it one of the Pal modes?

I'm using RGB if that changes anything...? SM is the JAP/US version.

>>2683279
Set Rendering to "Original", rather than Filtered/Unfiltered

Newfag here. Nothing noteworthy here at the moment, save for this PVM-14 I scored for $50. I fucking hate this entertainment center though, getting a new one before I begin my great console hunt

>>2683398
I do have an NES and N64, but they're in a box nearby because I haven't modded them for RGB yet and also I'm too lazy to make room in that shitty entertainment center for either of them

>>2683354
I would swear mine doesn't have any video options outside game. As in, i have to go into a game to get to those options i listed.

my main emu options screen does NOT look like pic related. There's no video options tile at all, only the other four arranged in a 2x2 grid. Might be time to check my version?

>>2683415
>>2683354
And assuming i do manage to get that option up, what setting from there? NTSC 480i? PAL60?

>>2683057
>>2683057
Update cause got my c64c in here and have been actually putting shit on this after setting up my ps2 (tfw no ps1 cause you sold it ages ago) asap to play rayman 2

>>2683415
>>2683416
I'm using 4.3.2.

Start up a game, and bring up the emulator menu. Select "Game Settings", then "Video".
Rendering is the first option.
Video mode should probably left to Auto, which I believe detects what mode it should be in based on either the rom in question or the video mode the Wii is already in, but setting it to NTSC (480i) while in "Original" Rendering mode will still have it output 240p. Setting it to PAL60 seems to keep the resolution the same as with 240p, but PAL(50) will squash it into 288p.

PAL50 does seem to require you to go back into the game, then back to the menu for it to actually switch to 288p50 mode, but in this case you wouldn't want it running in that anyway.

>>2683506
thanks man, i'll give it a look after work.

This probably means i'm already using 240p. It flickers slightly, compared to using crt_emudriver for groovymame. I figured that flicker was from it being in an interlaced mode of some description.

Sorry to all for hijacking. I'll post some pics of my station when i get home to make amends

>>2683437

i'm willing to bet a decent amount of money you haven't been laid in the past few years, if at all.

>MILK CRATES
For the 14M2, sure.
32FS13? Maybe with its flat bottom
I can't see them doing shit for the Megaview though, not on their own at least. 220lb on those feet would punch right through flipped milk crates.
I do have a panel from an old desk that could probably work, but it's currently supporting the HDCRT in the back ontop of two old PC towers.

i honestly don't really watch any of it, I know the basic backstory but I just enjoy making models and I think they look sweet

>>2686242

>>2686242
and the media center.
i just recently aquired that trinitron, and by aquired i mean i found it in the street.
on a related note
what does it mean if you have to give a crt a few good slaps before it starts working?

I really like your room and get jelly everytime I see it, wish the desk matched the rest of the furniture though!

Finally got to painting. Much better with the more toned down neutral grey vs the old kinda yellowy brown. Also scaled back the cabinets and re-organized the games so they look really good, and I have some room to expand. The Neo-Geo fits a lot better there vs. by the TV and should be really nice. Gonna put my games in the unit next to it, but I may also change it because I would like some stools for those longer games. I also have shockboxes coming so that'll be neat.

Tomorrow is painting the rest of the room and hopefully installing new pot lights so its not as dark in here. Then I'll probably build a little unit for my CRT so that there aren't many cables exposed.

Feels good to get it even more cleaned up and tidy.

Whenever I browse through these threads and see these poor excuses for battlestations, I HOPE that you're still living with your parents. I mean, because if you have your own place I really hope you'll do better.
