>>3945635
>Genesis = stronger nostalgia

yeah, I know that I have way stronger nostalgia for mutant league football and desert strike than final fantasy 2, 3, secret of mana, etc...

>>3945639
I wasn't talking about you, how would I know what you're nostalgic for? Weirdo. I'm talking about me, you know personal experiences being subjective and all. I feel like people let 4chan get to them too much.

>>3945667

Jesus, I get that you live in a small Japanese apartment but at least clean it every other week. It won't take that long and it will improve your quality of life immensely.

>>3947023
It's an old gaming club in japan

Who needs proper furniture anyway

I like to live dangerously IKEA edition

Oh god I need a new tv stand

>>3947030
>>3947023
iirc that's not a gaming club, but some sort of abandoned apartment that japanese students use as a sort of hostel, it's run by students and it's dirt cheap, in exchange it's all messy but full of vidya. All the systems and games they have were donated by students that lived there before.
Looks comfy imo.

>>3947060

I'm a moron who can't rotate and resize things edition

>>3947060
That's not too bad. Mine is an old coffee table. It would probably break if I had a larger TV.

I used to live with a guy who was just like this, cigarettes and random containers of various liquids at all. Shit is /jp/ as fuck. You see the way the super famicom (well everything in these pictures but the SFC especially) is covered in a nasty grimy film? Everything he owned was like that. When he moved out of state he left all his manga with me and I had to throw most of it out because it was covered in that shit. At least the person in these pictures doesn't appear to be a heroin addict, throw in a bunch of squares of tinfoil around with heroin tracks on them and triple the amount of manga and it's my old roommate to a fucking T.

Aniki, is that you?

Nice to see some new content.
>>3947060
Not too dangerous in my opinion. Sucks that you have those models though. They only do Composite right? Or do they have svid too?
>>3947086
How's that aiwa setup? I've been looking for a system lately.

I away unplug every time quit retro game
that very feel retro

regret selling my collection, i also donated that trinitron for super turbo tournaments

oh boy. another thread for faggot phoneposters to post sideways pictures in.

>>3948186

They have S-video as well, but yeah it's a huge bummer that they're the scrubbiest PVMs and don't even have RGB. At least they were cheap.

>>3948764

Why not look at it as another thread for friends to post pictures of their setups for playing fun video games, bud? You feeling OK today?

>>3948242
Fuck off weabo.

oh yeah and shit on my bad wire management. i tried my best but you can see that mess behind the consoles.

retro game room in my basement, webm edition

>>3948045
Wtf that controller is huge

>>3949538
>>3949476
too clean and too mach normie stuff. I like messy rooms like my own better. Its like you expert people to actually visit you.

>>3949598
i have >>3949538
it's not normal living space, it's an extra area dedicated to just retro video games, i am married with a 2 year old son so it's common for me to use one area while my wife or son sides on the couch or even plays a game themselves.

>>3949598
>too clean
>too normie

not even bothered by this. my room gets messy tho i just clean it regularly.

>>3948186
The Aiwa sounds good for the most part but lacks good level controls so some stuff gets too bassy if you turn it up. N64, Dreamcast, and Genesis are much bassier than the others for some reason. Still its ok.

>>3949630
Please don't post your son on 4chan.

Babbages told me to rearrange my shit but I decided to recap some game gears and sorting my shit seems useless since I'm moving out soon anyways.

This is the one room in the house my wife allows me to rule

>>3949835

Good taste. Also, your name wouldn't happen to start with a J would it? I've seen you post this setup before and it looks familiar

>>3949849

>>3949868
It might dawg... it might

sory Let me try it again.
I live in small room that make me try to put eveything to Drawer.

and when I not play retro game.

my little girl sits in my game room playing all the stuff i played when I was her age and it brings a tear to the eye. It's an awesome feeling

>>3949892
OH so close, go more exotic

>>3949891
You should get a case on that computer. The fans are there to create airflow.

Also, are you from Thailand or something? What's it like to be a retrogamer there?

pretty much, if you paid close attention i actually have two steel battalions setup in LAN for 1v1 in line of contact.

>>3949538
is steel batallion really that good??

>>3949835
now this is a freakin awesome set up

>>3950003
it's a very difficult game but great replay value and pretty good immersion as it does the simulation to an extreme.

die by failing to eject? your save file is deleted

run out of resources by letting your V.T. blow up too many times and can't buy a new one? save file deleted.

it even has an online only sequel that supports LAN play with higher resolution in-game and alot more V.T. to choose from, i still need to finish hacking my xboxes so i can unlock the rest of the V.T. since the online servers shut down years ago and you needed the campaign mode that has since been lost to unlock stuff.

>>3945565

>>3949891
That is a really cool TV.

>>3949775
Criminally underrated post.

>>3950051
>>3949775
too late I already saved that picture and hacked his son's wife's myspace account

>>3949821
I have that same table, it sucks

Can anyone recommend me tv stands for a small 14 inch screen? Something low to the ground?

>>3950094
14 inch is pretty small, have you thought to look at nightstands?

>>3950094
this or a shoebox is what I use.

>>3950094
something like >>3947086
also gives you room for consoles or other stuff.

Thought I'd post mine in this thread too, since everyone seems to be here.
>That one guy who commented on my cassette rewinder
I found it in my dad's basement tucked away in some cabinet. Thought I'd use it to rewind the tapes since the TV's already 20+ years old and I'd rather not have the tape player break from rewinding.

>>3948795
Yea, I don't even think they have a decent line count. I think they were meant more as surveillance monitors. To be honest you could and should sell them for a decent price. You'd probably have enough money for half of a sweet PVM.

>>3949762
Hmm thanks for the details. Can't you adjust the bass levels? or is it still too bassy even then? I really want some cheap good loud speakers for my CRT.

>>3950357

I feel you, and I wish I could get better ones. I live in a rural area though and those were the first I'd seen within 100 miles in about 6 months of looking.

Everyone says never to buy a shipped CRT so I'm sort of stuck with what's out here in the boonies.

>>3949997
redbubble.com/people/marcus32x/shop

No longer set up this way, computer monitor to the side was the worst idea ever, even if it looked cool.

Nintendo 4 lyf ~~

>>3951998
brah, the gamecube is such an underrated system. Other than the sound being a notch below the dreamcast version, the gamecube SKies of Arcadia is probably my favorite jrpg ever

Sup

>>3952296
uh anon, you need a tv

I've just started my collection. I live in a one bedroom apartment with a stupid big closet, so I'm going to set everything up in there. No furniture yet and still waiting for my RGB cables, but I'm excited

>>3952323
comfy af anon

My space is a bit limited, because I also wanna make room for the new stuff and have it seem somewhat orderly. I usually hook my consoles up to the CRT when playing for entertainment, but go through the XRGB when recording footage.

If I had space for a more permanent setup, I'd probably look into using a gscartsw_lite in the future, once they go into production. That way I could have a switch that allows output to two scarts at once, making it both comfortable to play AND capture at the same time. I could also capture higher quality lightgun footage that way, so even if I don't have use for a scart switch right now, the high quality splitter function might be worth it on its own...

>>3952315
Sorry, there you go my man

>>3947060

Raspberry pi SNES emulation?

>>3945565
>>3949476
Jesus Christ people, go to walmart, spend $3 and get one of there for your audio already!

>>3950357
They are good for cheap loud speakers. You can't adjust actual levels but there is a "bass boost" which I keep turned down all the way and is still too bassy sometimes. Wouldn't be an issue but I live in an apartment and don't want to disturb the neighbors if I am playing late at night. Overall they sound pretty decent though.

>>3945639
holy shit mutant football league?

now you my nigga too

>>3952470
I guess I should add that the bass sounds good and clean even when it is loud. The problem for me is its just kind of noisy if you are trying to keep it down and play Sonic at 1 in the morning without pissing off the neighbors.

>>3952369

Yeah, it works pretty well for anything up to 4th gen. I know there's a major anti-pi circle jerk around here but for my purposes it's great. I bring it over to my normie friends' houses pretty often.

>>3952296
Nice Pohatu, missing the kleets. Only Nuva I never had was Kopaka.

Still fresh out of high school so this is practically my childhood setup. Planning on making major updates when I get a job and my parents plan on moving or if I move out and rent an apartment.

I haven't been much of a visual snob but I'm planning on getting a PVM for the hell of it, plan on tidying up the wires, and make everything as comfy as possible.

>>3952772
its comfier than a shitty pvm setup

>>3952346
Anon what the fuck man

>>3952772
Pvms are fuckin stupid
The tv you got is fine

>>3945565
If you prefer your genesis so much why does your snes have a game in it while your genesis doesnt

>>3952296
>tonic trouble

I got that game late after the n64 was officially dead because the rental place was selling its n64 games pretty cheap to make room for Gamecube and PS2 games and stuff.

I thought I was the only one that played it.

>>3952296
Are those N64 covers on Genesis cases?

>>3947030
I want to hang there

>>3952797
>>3952830

What's with all this pvm hate?

>>3952927
They give you cancer.

>>3952927

Sour grapes because they're now relatively expensive

>>3952927
There are 30 inches one its fine but they cost 3000$
Now its just a bunch of fartknockers all over this board with PVMs smaller than a tiny volcano penis.

>>3952927
Its cool if you got a decent sized one but id rather have a regular crt than a 5" pvm or w/e everyone gets

>>3952830
Is it because of the extra requirements to hook the consoles up? I'm still not sure if I even want one though. My only preference for quality is that I like my tvs to make my games hide the sharp pixels underneath or at least enough so that it isn't an eyesore. I mostly want it for the look and size but if it's uber sharp like emulators I might just not.

>>3949630
reminds me of my dad's computer set up growing up. Keep doing what you're doing anon

>>3952461

>>3953250
What do you have now? An N64 and a black and white TV strapped to a cliffside or something?

>>3953358
Lol no, it's just that after I moved I have no space for all that anymore, just have a PS4, LCD monitor and a Retropie setup.

>>3952323
>that period when everything is just sitting on the floor
Mine was like that about a year ago

>>3947037
looks like the set of a scene of a midlife crisis for a middleaged man in an office job

>>3952990
you want a consumer set for better blending/blurring, just get something with component. With component ins you can still get memetastic and run RGB over SCART and convert it to Component and spend hundreds of dollars on cables for that authentic goofball experience.

Why do you all have your shit so low to the ground that you'd have to be sitting on the floor to play?

>>3953840

Because that's how I played as a kid and I want the full retro experience.

If I could somehow have a recording of a nagging mom telling me not to sit so close to the TV every 45 minutes or so I'd set that up too.

>>3953859
hope you enjoy your tailbone extra sore

i dont actually use the speaker on my tv, its the one little speaker in the front. at the swticher its set up the audio to go to my bookshelf speakers on each side.

Now that Im done with school Im ready for some new furniture. I'd like a new crt too.

Does anyone here have advice on buying good TVs for a setup? I've been looking at a small Sony Trinitron (KV14LTU) and it looks good but I don't really have much know how on the best options..

>>3959219
If you mean KV15LT1U looks good. RGB Scart and a secondary phono component on the front. It can be hard to get small CRTs with both component and S-Video here so that's probably true there as well. I say grab it assuming it's pretty cheap.

>>3959219
I'm not sure how that compares to my Sony KV-14LMu but I can say that's a fantastic little RGB set- puts older PVMs to shame even. You may want a seperate audio setup though as it's mono only.

>>3959219
>buying a crt

>>3959293

I was going to pick up that Sony Trinitron KV14LTU in a few hours but just heard from the seller that it broke as he was testing it, the colours warped and he's removed the listing. Real shame, will have to wait til I move before I look for a new one.

>>3959926
WHY???

>>3961054
they're never going to be worth anything, and they take up 1/10th the space when out of the box. Also then they can actually be used.

Here's my set up at the moment.

I still need an entertainment center to get rid of the dumbass console placement under my Trinitron. Otherwise, playing games at my desk is definitely superior comfort wise. 24" Trini is great for big screen gaming though. Desktop gaming is super underrated!

>inb4 tacky
most of the trinkets have been moved to a bookshelf.

>>3965768
I love those matching stands for the Wegas. I'm assuming they were sold separately?

>>3965801
I bought the Wega (with stand) for $40 and I bought the Trinitron (with stand) for $30.

That was one of the reasons I jumped on both of them because usually they never come complete. And the Wega just looks colossal with the stand.

>>3965723
Nice boxes & everdrive. Do you live in a garage?

>>3965845
Haha thanks. Nah, this is my bedroom. My TV stand currently has my hdtv on it, and the Wega and it's stand are pit away so I had to improvise.

>>3962256
Looks extremely comfy.

My game closet is starting to come together. I live in a one bedroom apartment so there's not much room for retro stuff, but it has a pointlessly big closet. I find it oddly comfy so I thought I'd turn it into a retro game room

It looks kind of silly right now because all I have is a 14" pvm, but I'm picking up a 20" next tuesday, and hopefully I'll have a proper stand for it by then. Only have a snes right now too

How heavy would a 26' Trinitron be?

>>3968352
Big enough that you'd want a buddy.

20's are managable solo. Anything bigger starts to get way too cumbersome.

>>3968365
Thanks anon
I'm looking at getting a CRT but unclear on sizes, I live in a small bedroom and I want to put it on my desk, what size would you recommend?

Can confirm. I lugged the 28" in pic related all the way up out of my basement and across the back lots to my mom's house when I replaced it with the 20" PVM that's there now. I'm a beast but it was still a real schlep.

>>3968371
13/14 inch will feel plenty big enough sitting on a desk with you. Some anon in another thread had an opportunity to pick up an 8 inch BVM for $25 and I told him that should be fine for a desk too as long as it's elevated.

Looks nice. You could definitely use an AV switch to avoid having to constantly plug and unplug cables in however.

got the TV for free a couple weeks back

Moved to another country and only really had space for taking one console.

WHY DIDNT I STOCKPILE CRT'S WHEN EVERYONE WAS THROWING THEM OUT YEARS AGO

>>3949890
what TV is that?

>>3968836
Yes it's called a homonym, Japanese is full of them.

>>3954856
Is that a Sears brand CRT?

Just started my retro center awhile back. Got the stuff for my old NES yesterday. Of course it doesnt work, just continually flashes off and on so I gotta get that fixed.

>>3971010
That's what happens when the Lockout-Chip can't communicate with its counterpart inside cartridge, which makes it reset the system every few seconds. Just by a new 72-Pin-Connector, those are usually the culprit as they wear out quickly. They are pretty cheap and easy to swap (no soldering required).

>>3970946
It's really cool that you have a Satellaview but if space was a concern why did you take it with you versus say a Wii emubox with a super to GC controller adapter? Does it actually serve a purpose?

>>3971173
Or he could just disable the 10NES, assuming the games seem to be loading properly aside from the blinking

>>3971245
I actually got the satellaview and flashcart since I got here. I figured since I only had one console with me, I might as well spend a little money 'spoiling' it rather than re-buying consoles I have in storage back home.

I've since had the opportunity to bring my Wii as an emu box, too.

>>3971248
>>3971173
It's still very shaky

Where can i get a connector?

and what is 10NES that could be disabled?

>>3972314
10NES is a chip. It's a lot easier to get to than removing and reinstalling the zif connector and it doesn't hurt anything for it to be disabled all it does is make the power blink if it's unhappy. It's near the controller ports and on top IIRC. You snip one leg to disable it but you'll have to Google which one yourself since apparently I'm only allowed to give people info directly from my memory and I don't feel motivated enough to open up my own front loader and remind myself which one I snipped twenty years ago.

>>3972337
Thanks. It's looking fine now, but any slight touch or even a hard foot step makes the screen go crazy. And I have to set it just right to get it to read.

You think it will fix that problem?

>>3972345
Nope. Like i said it only fixes blinking. At this point it's just corrosion on your copper. Just put a cartridge in and out about a hundred times and wiggle it around in the socket. That should be enough and it'll get better with use.

Sorry about the lack of CRT. I have an old one I'm planning on setting up soon. But for now it's a hassle moving it around.

>>3946953
The PS2 is not retro (and never will be). "Retro" means "before Y2K". No exceptions. No excuses.

>>3962237
What TV? That's killer.

Bang & Olufsen MX 4000. It has a really good picture, but can be a bit finicky. For instance, it couldn't handle the 15khz refresh rate of my Supergun, so I have another CRT as well that's a bit more compatible.

>>3974760
It's not retro, period. The PS2 already had much refined 3D graphics (just look at Silent Hill 2 which was one of the earlier of its titles, it looks quite good even to this day) and its lifespan was basically the whole of the 00s decade. Just because it was released 15+ years ago does not make it retro.

Battlestation in spare room closet atm b/c renovating

First time posting my setup

Cool thread, bruhs

Have a bump

>>3975759
Dunno, I just moved into one for that very reason though.

Doesn't really show in the one picture I have of my setup but it is comfy as fuck.

Not having a CRT fucking blows, I know. I live in a ~900 sq ft apartment with my gf and just literally don't have the space for an extra TV anywhere. One day we'll move into a bigger spot and I'll get set up properly.

I also desperately need a new TV stand. We got this one for free years ago and gave it a new paint job that, well, looks tacky as hell now.

>>3979502

My wires are also gross. Another reason I want a new TV stand. Would motivate me to tidy that shit up, get an AV switch, etc.

Shouldn't there be a better term for these setups? Anyways, here's my "battlestation"

>>3979502

Also, I don't know if this is the best place to ask this, but I figure I can give it a shot.

My Genesis gets way more flicker than I feel is natural, even for running on a modern TV. I've opened it up, cleaned it out, cleaned the contacts on both the console and the games, and tinkered with how well the AV ends are fitting to the console and the TV. Do y'all think it is probably a case of me just having a shitty repro AV cable or does the Genesis II really run that terribly on modern TVs connected via standard AV?

How about we start taking these pictures with an old 90s camera?

>>3979531

>>3970978

>>3979534
I've had incessant flickering problems with my mark 1 mega drive plugged into my HD TV via a good rgb to scart cable that works perfectly on my crt, I don't know why but you're not alone in this.

I'd really like to add a CRT to this setup but no space for that now. Also waiting for a Dreamcast to arrive in the mail so I can finally start doing some cable management.

heres my small bedroom setup. getting real hype for the remake of resident evil 2! just finished off getting all the versions of the original 3 RE that i wanted. 60 bucks for RE2 dreamcast. god damn.
anyways i plan on cleaning it up a little. think its time to put the bionicles away in 'that' drawer we all have.


>>3977909
wow thats a pretty rad setup. i have most of those consoles.
i thought black ops had one of the best campaigns in call of duty, but i was so iffy about the multiplayer. it played fine and all but i only had it for under a year, and the first year the lag was atrocious, abhorrent, reprehensible.. especially kill cams showing how you died. some bullshit indeed. sold it to a friend after i got most of the achievements. said i would re buy it one day but never did.

>Just by a new 72-Pin-Connector, those are usually the culprit as they wear out quickly.
I never understood this. I own two NESs, one since my childhood, and neither one has ever needed the pin connector replaced. I just give them a good cleaning every few years and they work like new. Just how hard are you people slamming your cartridges down into these things?

>>3955031
Maybe, but hearing both sides of the audio is definitely not. Y-adapters are a thing, you know.

>>3989469
Is that a Retron? Kill yourself.

>>3989546
No, it's a Super Retro Trio. It only outputs S-video at best for the SNES and Genesis ports (the NES port is still composite only), but now I can send it through the framemeister to an LCD screen to get a crisper image almost like the Retron 5. I will say the Super Retro Trio is more affordable at $50USD than the Retron 5 which amazon has at $140USD.

Anything I should know about switchers?
I'm looking for an easier way to use a TV with limited inputs.
Ideally it'll let me go VGA to component/svideo for Dreamcast, but no other scaling or whatever is wanted, so I can do without.
What should I look out for? Are these sorts of things expensive?

I understand the shelving / space real estate struggle, but novelties and cases in front of stuff you can pull out of the shelf is a total sin.

This is also a personal thing but I can't stand stacking NES carts or any other game case, just seems tacky to me. The latter probably isn't annoying for you though.

Will team fortress 2 be retro in 5 years?

It's actually pretty strange when you think about it. But I do think ps2, xbox and gamecube are old enough to be retro. If not now. In a couple of years.

Damn...... thats what i though it could be, a flash cart. IMO, thats pretty OP in a hell of a good way. I believe there are PSPs that can handle an entire library of emulated SNES games
