>>3821106
Come on i wanna get jelly at ur setups :(

Goddamnit I'm at work and don't get wifi at home (and who the hell needs it when you've got the PS1 and a SFamicom, right?). I'll post pictures later if this threads still up.

Question for OP, do you not get worried about the sunlight yellowing your consoles?

Bumpu

>>3821106

sold most of my stuff so all I have left is a snes with a flashcard and a modded ps2, but thats enough for me.

>>3821269
No sunlight in here haha

>>3821530
Wat games are on ur ps2??

>>3821539
you mean in the picture?
its hyper metroid, a snes super metroid hack.
on the ps2 I mostly only play jrpg's.

Personally, in these threads I like more to see messy stuff like >>3821292
than hyper classy stuff like >>3821530 , maybe because it reminds me of my childhood and how my room (and also others friends) were always a chaos.
In others words, a messy room makes think of someone that I would like to spend time with, if that makes any sense.

>>3821690
One has kids, the other doesn't. It's easy to keep things clean and simple when it's just you. The chaotic rooms are the ones for kids.

>>3821723
God damn that looks comfy.

>>3821106
>he wraps his controllers

old pic, but yeah. Don't have any pics of my CRT room yet

>>3822106
are you sure you have enough Gamecubes

>>3822115
yeah im sure. Ive traded 4 of them for other stuff since that pic was taken.

Must be comfy desu

I'm actually remodeling the man cave today, will post pics when done.

>>3821106
Emulating atm so my laptop and a pair $5 joysticks.
Everything else is in my parents attic.

MUH NIGGU
That said Magic Jewelry still plays the best.

>>3822106
I dig it

>>3821530
Enjoy overheating your TV.

Just swapped out the 2600 Jr for a 7800. Playing Ballblazer EVERYDAY.

>>3822329
what kinda tv is that?

This is an older pic, I have since then tidied up and reorganized but its already a mess again.

New pics today, still working on it.

>>3822352
It's a Panasonic TRH-513T (just reading from the back label). It's a run of the mill, RF only, portable 5" B&W TV/Radio. I got it at a Goodwill for like $6 and cleaned it up. I have a low-end PVM hooked to a hacked Wii on the other side of the room, but this is a fun and cheap setup for RF only consoles. I posted both these pics in an Atari thread so sorry if anyone's already seen em.

>>3822357
Put the other set across the loft

>>3822362
>>3822357

Fuckin rad dude, glad to see you didn't get rid of the Mitsubishi.

>>3822320
tv stands there since 2000~, without any problems.
are you retarded by any chance?

>>3822356
> what is basic IKEA shelving?

>>3821106
>>3822173
>2017
>PAL Super Nintendo
Buy a Super Famicom already lmao

>>3822367
>get rid of the Mitsubishi.
Never. It's one of my treasures. I'm keeping it until it goes to /vr/alhalla

Current hooked up roster. 3do needs a new svid cable :/ velcros on the way to get the cables tidier as well.

>>3821292
winning

>>3821690
I think people get embarrassed when they get ripped for being a pig. It's 4chan though, Those are the jewels. I miss basement_kun's pics of the unfinished basement with the ripped seats and old projector.

>>3822173
nocrt/10. looks very tidy though, good selection of consoles -360

>>3822320
>I've never seen how cramped an old entertainment center was.

>>3822106
I dig the Rush shit. Nice vinyl collection.

I'd post my room but it's geared entirely for home theater. The only retrogame piece is the raspberry pi emulating every fucking thing ever.

>>3822329

Ahh, the 7800.

Centipede is that system's most addictive game. It also might be that game's best home port ever.

>>3822453
I think I have that version of Centipede, but all my 7800 games except Ballblazer are in storage at my parents' place. I'm kind of obsessed with the 2600 port of Centipede personally, been trying to beat my high score lately.

Here's my setup.
Emulate nes and snes on the modded Wii, then there is my CRT (1997 Philips Magnavox) and ps2 and ps3 that I my ps1 games on. Just remodeled the look today, it's very comfy to me so far.

>>3822485
Jesus Christ I wish my phone would let me post pics right side up. God Damn

>>3822485
Looks comfy to me, anon. Particularly digging the rocking chair.

>>3821723
Very nice

>>3822037
I have dogs that constantly trip on that shit

>>3822359
I need a setup like this for my atari 2600

>>3822423
It's so easy to spot a poorfag

>>3822576
As I mentioned, I just troll Goodwill for fun CRTs like that, but if you don't care about it being B&W you can get 5" Jensens and shit on eBay for pretty cheap. No one wants B&W CRTs. I've been trying to find a similar portable color TV and it's just not happening.

>>3821723
This is always the best pic in these threads.
Props to you

>>3822413
Actually the shelves were from Walmart. Yeah they are really cheap.

>>3822567
Yet there are still plenty of cords on the ground.

>>3822490
4chan strips EXIF data

>>3821530
That set up is ultra nice, man.

>>3821690
Even though I like the hyper classy room, I totally get what you're saying and agree.

>>3821723
>>3822106
>owning this much bullshit but not a single decent light fixture
would not live in for extended periods

>>3821106
looks kind of like a section at the local dump

>>3821106
I just reorganized

the usual. cannot wait to reorganize soon.

>>3824415
This whole rig looks very functional, pretty rad.

>>3824418
i have a lot of space on the other side, but the shelving units and knick knacks are going to be stored differently to tone down the gaudiness.

but thanks anon!

>>3824421
Ah gotcha, nice regardless. I'm longing for the day when I have that much space for my shit. It's all in tupperware except what I can fit on my desk or the 'entertainment center'.

>>3824428
thanks. when i moved into my new home i made sure ahead of time that i wanted a room dedicated to retro gaming/things from my childhood. something i've always wanted.

shelves i'm talking about. got like a franenstein unit going on here. will feel relieved one they are gone this month and replaced with something more stylish/respectable.

>>3821106
how long did it take to clean up all those soaking wet panties, op? jesus bitches probably drown themselves just trying to get into that bed. at least you got that fan there to cool their burning loins down though, right? i guess it doesn't matter though because any woman living in that halfway house probably isn't much of a looker anyway.

>>3821723
chill as fuck dude.

>>3824436
> shallow shelving
This is how it's done.
>>3824415
Still nicer then 60% of this thread.

>>3824457
thanks man. appreciate that

I've been lurking this board since forever and finally decided to upload my current - forever in progress - setup. Here goes nothing.

>>3824805
The game shelf and other stuff.

>>3821723
is that a makeshift pullup bar?

>>3824805
>>3824808
very nice

>>3824805
nice man, don't see a lot of 3DOs on here

>>3824805
After usage it typically looks like this.

>>3822173
4/5 neat setup, would visit and play.

>>3824828
>traphouse

>>3821723
Dude, comfy as fuck

I personally hate cables and love wireless things and hidden compartments.

I hollowed out a part of my desk so the PC sits out of sight, with a panel to the back of it, with places for wireless periphirals. Just tripple monitors ontop.

Anyway, I've got a steam link as of last week so I can stream one monitor over to my TV, I can pick up one of four wireless Xbox 360 controllers and it'll auto-power on the link and my PC, and then connect to my PC's steam.

I'm working on a program for cataloging emulated games - like a steam for emulation, so I can browse, download and boot any title earlier than the PS3 from one interface. So yeah, that is my hobby. Fuck actually playing the games, I just want to show off that I COULD play any game that exists and show someone five minutes of spontaneous mario while I secretly jerk off to their amazement.

But yeah, made some code that can auto generate box-art / steam grid looking things based off google images, eventually on masse for this catalog of however many thousand games. Oh shit, and yeah when its done it'll strip and convert (U) (E) (J) tags to icons and consolidate different versions of ROMs under the same umbrella game. Which region of Mario would you like to play, anon? *dick moves slightly within shorts*

>>3824828
Hmmm. Lots of lighters. Fuck-tons of air fresheners. Nice cone in the ashtray.

Yeah, I get it.

>>3825051
got the source code anywhere?

Haven't changed at all in months.

>>3825134
Not yet, when it's done in a few weeks I'll be spreading it around.

Yeah, kinda comes across like I'm talking out my arse, but it is kinda one of those things where you can crank out a prototype fast but the user friendly version takes time.

Plus I have a baby that needs me all the time so hobby stuff is unfortunately secondary.

>>3822356
Ah, what kind of console on the right under the TV?

>>3824809
from what i understand, it's a clothesline, there is the other end of it a good 20 foot away. (out of view)

at some point basement clotheslines were a thing? sometime when square bolts were more common.

>>3822967
Y the fuck u care so much

>>3825189
dude how do you play on a screen this small
ridiculous

>>3825569
the tiny pvm looks like a 8045Q or something, i think if he can line his head up with the screen it shouldn't be hard if he sits moderately close to it.

which he clearly should as it's on the main desk itself.

>>3825569
Dude who posted the pic.
Using the smaller PVM isn't as bad as it might seem, especially since I'm so close to it to begin with. It's a great desktop monitor in all honesty.

>>3825667
Having a small pvm would be embarrassing. It's like having the entry level model of a luxury car. Screams I wish I was in the club, but I'm poor.

>>3822235
>man cave

>>3825189

grey saturn, finally!

>>3826156
not convinced

>>3826156
People like you are the cancer of this general.

>>3826156
I wonder how many hours this guy's logged.

9 inches is a perfectly respectable monitor size

>>3826448
Every piece of print media on the planet is still designed to the specifications laid out by that 9" bitmapped display. Pretty miraculous.

Please ignore my hideous window insulator and load bearing weegee poster.

>>3824415
What L-desk is that? It actually looks decent enough to use.

>>3826156
Got my 8042Q for 30 bucks, makes a great test monitor for a workbench. Great for RGB modding or cable making if you are trying to not fall for the SCART meme.

>>3826615
You got some cool stuff, but you could redecorate a bit...
I don't like the nes mini in that corner, make my autism trigger.

Whats with the cables going under the window? Is that a light? If so, what do you need a light between window and tv? If it's a heater, it's probably not very good for your electronics so close by.

But I like your boxes for the controllers. Where did you get the chainasaw from?

...And your rug is begging for a vacuum

>>3826615
Man, this whole picture just depresses me... I mean no offense but your place looks like it hasn't been renovated since the 40s.

>>3825189

What's the big black box under the sega console on the left pic?

>>3826650
Audio cables are going to soundbar.

The rest of the house is updated but the basement was concrete until it got studs and wood paneling in the 80s. Room is definitely uggo.

>>3824318

What's up with the wall? Spent all your money on games and couldn't afford the last bucket?

>>3824818

Let's play a game:

>find all the beer cans

>>3826357
goddamnit carlos

>>3826726
CARLOS!

>>3826652
The only real issue is the paneling, the plan is to crowbar off the chair rail and drywall skim coat the grooves out of the paneling, then repaint. Fuck drywalling a basement though.

>>3826656
That's a stereo equalizer.

>>3824828
Christ it must reek in there. And I'm a cigarette fag.

>>3822235
>man cave
is this gay sex lingo?

>>3822445
what's that thing on top of the ps2?

>>3826342
You're not even in your safespace thread fgt. this is the rate thread.

>>3826628
and that's what they're perfect for, not a main.

>>3827153
a/v switch and what looks like a game case

>>3827278
>fgt
>not a main
>talking like a douche makes me look cool

Get fucked and stop abbreviating everything, this isn't your safe space either.

>>3825051
>So yeah, that is my hobby. Fuck actually playing the games
I spend so much time uprading my game-room and trying to reach the maximum levels of cozyness for it... and sometimes i hold on and these are the exact same toughts that come to my mind. But I don`t feel bad about it, because sometimes I even play games for a day or two. Everybody is free to enjoy their hobby as they like.

>>3822356 here, I tidied up a little and took some pics. Making room for a Dreamcast I am going to buy off of my friend later this week (still not sure where to put it). I also hooked up my old vcr so I can get audio from stuff with coax only like the Atari to come out of the stereo, sounds great.

>>3825223
Not sure what you mean, the qtip box?

>>3827864
Also reordered my shelves a bit but its still too cramped. I need more shelves.

Then

>>3827929
Now.
I'll still break out that crt if i really want to dedicate a whole day to play old school games.

>>3827931
Firstly, sweet setup, neat as hell. Has that rare balance of great display and not looking like a manchild's shrine.

Secondly, if I were you I would get a gamecube/wii. It would let you continue to play the series that started on the (S)NES and N64. Gamecube is dirt cheap at the moment, lasts forever and has that
A S T H E T I C.

Also it just bugs me seeing those empty shelves.

>>3828068
haha i know what you mean by empty shelves. i honestly dont even notice them when i get engaged in a game. Yeah i think my next purchase consale wise will be a wii, or even a wii u..only because my buddy has one thart also collects...and i am fiending to play super mario maker. SMB 3 is my favorite game of all time. idk. but yeah game cude eventually.

>>3828079
Fill a shelf with a PC engine senpai.

>>3828082
what does that even mean?

It means get a PC Engine / Turbo Grafx 16! You could be playing splatterhouse!

>>3828153
holy heck i remeber that game..playing as jason?

>>3828193
Well the pic I posted is another game (Castlevania rondo of blood) but yeah splatter house is basically a hyper violent belt scroller where you play as basically jason. Got my copy for 28 bucks shipped from Japan , totally worth it

>>3826615
like the genesis battleship, like the kiddie bins used to hold controllers, like the rug
that wall paneling is fucked though and you know it, but I need to tell you anyway
I don't blame you for the insulation
I think you should move the ps2 out from the wii to underneath the dreamcast, it just looks way too crowded in that one in particular, and who wouldn't want a $299 dreamcast stand?

>>3827864
when you're sitting in that chair, if you push off the floor with your feet, will the chair slide back? or is it pretty much anchored to the ground

>>3827864
Move the PlayStation and put the Dreamcast on the PS2.

>>3827864
Get rid of that gay ass rocker chair and get yourself a good ol beanbag, much more comfortable and other people will actually want to use it.

>>3821292
a bit messy ;)

>>3822356
Whats the TV?

>>3830637
My neck and back hurt just looking at that
