as far as the consoles are concerned, its not a bad setup.

The problem is having all the systems out at once to "impress" people. But in the end all it does is cement your reputation as a man-child.
Put all but one of the systems away. Have one system, and one monitor (preferably CRT). Put all the games and shit in a dresser with drawers to hold them. You are not a teenager anymore. You do not need to decorate your room like one. If you have a wife or girlfriend she has to put up with this shit when people come over. Stop embarrassing her.

If I had a "dream" gaming setup it would just be the living room of my old shitty apartment where I had an old crummy couch with a cheap coffee sitting in front of it. And about six feet away on the other wall I had three GIANT CRT monitors with various systems hooked up to them. And I mostly played ps3 and emulated games on them. That was the most comfy setup I've ever had.

lol hiding your systems is what makes you seem like an insecure man-child. People who are comfortable with who they are feel no shame in displaying things they like, especially if they're practical.

It's actually a great filter, because people who look down on things like that are quickly weeded out of your life.

Do you really imagine that the person who set this up isn't spherical? He's got the air conditioning cranked, you know he has. So no special ventilation is going to be needed beyond that.

This also addresses the issue of his wife's friends seeing this. Yes, they may find it strange, but the really pathetic thing to look at in that household is the man's giant doughy body. If she is numb to that problem then she can probably be numb to this one too.

The shelving, lights and general "museum" aesthetic here are indeed cringeworthy, but the biggest thing that shows whoever built this setup values collecting over actually playing is the fact that the TV is so high above eye-level in order to facilitate his stupid showroom shelf.

Not an argument. The entire "dadrock" insult falls flat on its face when you go to the concerts and see tons of young people there absolutely in love with rock. The insult carries zero weight and comes from being threatened by blatantly superior music and a misplaced hatred for things before your time that has ZERO merit. I'm not even from that generation, but the music is much better.

What do you consider good music? Drake? Skrillex? Deadmau5? Adele? Bruno Mars? Music taste is subjective, but these acts fucking WISH that they'll have the legacy that bands like Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath, Styx, and the Beatles have.

I was just ribbing you. I have no horse in this race at all, I don't even like music a ton but get where you're coming from. True story I saw a video for Color Me Badd's All 4 Love, decided music was dead forever and listened to literally nothing but Pink Floyd though the rest of highscool and most of college. Even the Division Bell I listened to some but mostly ignored.

I have partial amusia though and in hindsight I think it was in good part just to avoid having to pay attention to the music scene. There's still some huge gaps, I have no idea what most 90's bands even sound like.

That's the basic point of cringe threads right? To post pictures of people somewhat like you and make fun of them? In the beginning it seemed like they were mostly positive, like cautionary examples then it was about "concealing your power level" but these days it seems to be about acting like the most boring uninteresting person you possibly can and avoiding any and all real life social contact. At that rate it'll take them forever to make their dreams come true... or is it lame to even have dreams now?

Well anytime Styx has been a part of a music fest I have had a fun time. Own none of their music, but they put on a great show. That's about all I can say about them other than in some ways they're the opposite of yacht rock so it makes sense why you don't like them.

Then we all had to have a one-on-one discussion about the book we read with the teacher. That was fun.

Oh, and another random book I read was about two species of humans who could transform into either deer or wolves. Two of them fall in love and have a sexual relationship. Forbidden love thing. Plenty of details on wolf cock, like how it gets bigger after ejaculation.

Can't remember what either of them were called.

I guess what I'm saying is: fuck reading. Some books are full of shit and just reading random books won't make you smart.

The only setup you need for CRT gaming is a softmodded Wii, a softmodded PS2, an N64, and a Sega Saturn. Through just those 4 systems you can play the following game libraries:

>NES
>SNES
>N64
>GCN
>Wii
>GB
>GBC
>GBA
>MD
>SMS
>SAT
>PCE
>PS1
>PS2

You could also throw in a Dreamcast and/or original Xbox, but those are better played on 480p displays than in 480i.

Having any other consoles in your setup, especially if you're hooked up to an HDTV, means you're an autistic neckbeard fetishizing rectangular pieces of plastic and are more into staring at said plastic than you are into actually playing video games.

I don't like any setup where every console is hooked up with extreme cable management for immediate play at any time.

Way too fussy and leads to shitty cable management.

Have a "display shelf" where you put all your consoles, then one or two areas near your TV to put the active consoles you're playing. Add convenient Power and AV extenders to this area so you're not digging behind the TV. When you want a new console easily swap it in.

I still think it's shitty fussy cable management to have 40+ cords going everywhere, even if it's neat and/or you can't see it.

Ideal scenario is to *shorten* your power and AV cords to 1 Foot length. Put everything you need for a console in a ziplock bag. Put them all in a drawer. Easily swap consoles on your single "active console" shelf when you need to. Again, with conveniently arranged extension cables that are permanently plugged in to the TV and wall.

You can use a harddrive, HDLOADER and a network adapter to load ISO's, and manage them with winhiip from the netowrk port, works like a charm, haven't used the dvd drive for years. The problem is the network adapters, they are starting to get pricy.

As far as I know it runs ps1 isos too, but never tried, I think it uses an emulator, not the proper ps2 system for running ps1 games.

NEVER buy from eBay unless A: seller has literally 100% feedback or B: somebody bought a CRT and left positive feedback. Preferably both. Get freight shipping if it's an option, no matter how expensive. If it doesn't show as a option, ask the seller if they will do it. Stay the fuck away from UPS and FedEx.

I can understand having all your shit hooked up if your doing streaming or a let's play channel, but I favor having only a few systems hooked up at once.

My problems is that it's a fucking rat nest every time I see a setup where it's all plugged in.

I don't see why OP is cringe when it's proably the nicest looking setup compared to the fire hazards people often have.

i'm doing both, i've failed twice on rebuilding traces but i suck really bad at soldering so redoing everything again couldn't hurt. (why the fuck did i think no-flux lead-free solder was a good idea?)

what significantly hurts my repair efforts is a good 1 1/2 inch chunk is missing out of the center of the board, it appears to just be some traces on that peice but who's to say.

I've been collecting since the 80's, I never sold any of my childhood stuff, sure some got last, stolen or traded but I mostly have everything.

for most applications they are, the 8 inch is only viable on a raised desk setup where you are less than 2-3 feet away from the screen at max.

the 13 inch gives you more room but still better suited for a desk setup where you sit fairly close, my setup has me close enough to enjoy it though the 20 inch was intended to replace it effectively.

i do have a 27 inch sony trinitron that offers up to component input so there is that.
