I will never understand what happens between those little ants and electronics.

>>4144457
I kind of like this.

>>4144438
I friend of mine had this too. I don't know if ants inside the PS1 was something common.

I really don't understand how people keep tall shelves from dusting and webbed. No, they don't dust them.

>>4144509
>>4144523
they only system that probably gets use on that shelf is the retron 5. only nintendo fans do this dumb collectorfag autism. I keep all my games hidden in boxes or in my closet.

>>4144536
I have my ps2, ps3, and ps4 all set up under an LCD telly.

Dammit, this guy has the setup I dreamed of when I was exactly 10 years old.
Now that I can spend into colorful sixtyfours I'd not even bother in them.

>>4145004
use that money toward a 64drive or everdrive. having pride rainbow n64 decorating your mancave is pretty gay.

Ah fuck, this makes me feel like my setup is cringe

>>4144958
There's a reason they don't make them like that anymore.

>>4145084
Comfy/10

>>4145084
Yeah, you need a better monitor. If not a PVM ($50 to $100 dollars), at least get a Trinitron or something. Also, how many DVD players are in that picture?

>>4145084
not bad thats basically my setup as well but I have a wii

>>4145154
Wii is in other room

>>4145147
Yeah, I got it to replace my old crt because the pixel density was a huge improvement. Pvm or Trini would be fun to have.

Can the Xbox play DVDs?

>>4145124
Thanks

If he had a CRT, or just used the VirtualConsole for retro stuff, and a carpet, this would be 9/10 cozy.

I don't autistically keep them like that, they are just around the room, hooked up. But I have a duster hanging on the wall and dust them all the time.

>>4144509

Why though?

>>4144487
They're called crazy ants for a reason. They're fucking crazy.

>>4145172
>Can the Xbox play DVDs?
that's a dumb thing to ask if a computer can play DVDs

https://twitter.com/KevinDDR/status/724900907528392704

>>4145406
Yes, but some models need the remote to enable dvd playback.

>>4145406
Woops meant for >>4145172

>>4145121
Well, it's all steel construction designed to sit on top of a horizontal computer and then carry the weight of a monitor. I don't use it for surge protection anymore (have a UPS for that) but I've had it so long the Master switch LED burned out.

>>4144509
Yo, is that a vectrex? Always wanted one of those, but I figured they were probs expensive since I never see then in peoples collection.

Where the gore at?

>>4144598
That whole bookshelf is cancer. The Pop figures really pale in comparison. I couldn't give two shits about the /vr/ stuff at this point.

>>4145084
naw you good anon. looks comfy. not over autist.

>>4144620
i like them but people that go over the top with them are cringe. i personally just have my 4 cowboy bebop ones on display for people near my living room TV. the rest are near my desk.

>>4146220
>2
They are terrible figures, especially for anime characters because they are western cancertoons aesthetic.

>>4146287
im not really an anime fan. i like cowboy bebop for the sci fi aspect so i dont really care about that complaint.

>>4146037
The Vectrex is ridiculously overpriced online thanks to that fucking eceleb patreon shill Mark from CGR. I was lucky enough to find a Vectrex from an old man at a garage sale locally for $10 but I have to buy a multicart for it online and those go for over $100.

>>4144487

He could at least swap the NES with the Gamecube to stop triggering my autism.

>>4146392
Keep it up, senpai.

>>4145147
>PVM ($50 to $100 dollars)
lmao good luck

>>4146334
Most things are ridiculously overpriced online but as you've found you can get good deals IRL. If you can repair them you can still find good deals, although a lot of shelf collectors hoard broken ones because they don't care about playing just displaying. Multicarts aren't anywhere near $100 but even that $50 I still just make my own. Literally as cheap and easy as 2600 carts.

>>4144457
Nothing wrong with this. 240p upscale to 480i is ugly as sin and I avoid it at all costs in my own set up but it really isn't something to throw a fit over if someone else isn't bothered by it. My eyes are shit so I'd just sit far enough away from the screen that my astigmatism would act as an emulator style filter :)

Oh nice thread

>>4146346
why does everyone hate that model ._. its so cute

>>4145853
It's not the structural strength that was the problem so much as the electrical hazard from all the mains-referenced wiring that has to extend across the chassis to all the switches. It's exposed to all sorts of thermal expansion heating and cooling sandwiched between a computer and monitor, and rough handling from yanking it around to get at cables or just plunking a heavy CRT on it. One wire frays or a crimp works itself loose and the suddenly whole chassis is live.

>>4144457
I'm not a purist so i don't get what's wrong with this?

>>4147202
You asked why they don't make them like that anymore and I jokingly answered that there was no demand for a surge protector that you can sandwich between a monitor and the computer.

IDK which ones you've been examining but mine has a thick sheet of electrical insulation between the case and the wiring (at least on the bottom, can't remember the sides/top). It's not blind luck that it's lasted 23 years.

>>4147236
Older consoles don't upscale properly on HDTVs. Not that it's ideal but compare an emulator at 1080p with the correct aspect ratio vs your HDTV. Pixels get all muddy

>>4147247
>You asked why they don't make them like that anymore

You have me confused for someone else. I flatly stated they don't make them that way anymore for a reason.

>mine has a thick sheet of electrical insulation between the case and the wiring

That's no guarantee of safety with that design. Thanks to the lengths of the cables if one gets loose it can go anywhere and touch anything in normal handling. Touching the chassis is only one of several dangers. Shorts at the switches themselves, fires, etc...

>It's not blind luck that it's lasted 23 years.

I expect the majority of them have had no issues. It's not like they intentionally built them to be death traps. But shit did happen and they decided they weren't safe enough. They got pretty expensive secondhand because they were still very popular after they stopped making them.

Modern example: The vast majority of Samsung Note 7s have not and probably won't explode, but you saw how that all went down.

>>4146596
Good god....

>>4147264
Thank you for explaining further, it would seem we're in concordance. I personally feel really lucky to have gotten one when helping my then-girlfriend's dad clean out his father's house 10 years ago. I did make sure to take it apart, clean and examine the innards first. Checked recently and everything is still in good condition, even the caps which is impressive because I don't have anything that's lasted that long with daily usage.

Ironically, the only time I've had a surge protector go bad was 5 years ago an $80 one melted to a desk when the nearest transformer blew.

I thought all OG Xboxs that are not hacked require the remote and its licensing dongle.

Which revisions of the OG Xbox can play DVDs without modding or the official remote?

>>4146317
>im not really an anime fan. i like cowboy bebop for the sci fi aspect
it's even worse when you say things like this

>>4147706
Gotta be fake. Too painful.

>>4147803
I want to turn my Dreamcast into a PC. But I don't know how much it would cost to get it done.

>>4146596
so is this a NES converted to a handheld?

if it's not then the olny thing i could say that bothers me are that the buttons should be at the bottom and the screen should be at the top

>>4147853
It actually is. It's basically from the Onion of DIY projects.

A few years back I spotted on eBay a badly mistreated Secret of Mana cart whose label had been entirely replaced with a blank white one that read "SECRET OF MANA". Someone here also saw it and posted it a few times. Does anyone have any of those photos?

You expect the legendary leaf Drakon to actually make good decisions?

>want to consolize my PSP
>realize that consolizing my PSP is retarded since it already has an AC adapter and component/composite output
>trying to figure out how I can incorporate a controller into it.
>literally thinking of running a DB25 out the back of it, and modifying an OG Xbox controller to use with it

Forgive me padre.

>>4149295
Can't you use a PS3 controller with a PSP Go?

>>4149307
>PSP Go

Those things are fucking atrocious. Shit battery life, no UMDs, terrible wireless (literally uses 802.11-b, super fucking slow), limited storage space with no memory stick option

It's the PSP equivalent of those chopped-down Wii units Nintendo put out, that all they can do is play games offline.

>>4149307
>>4149338
I want to use UMD's, which is the fucking problem.

Everyone has troll videos out about putting a controller on it, or by doing some insane workaround.

I just want to use a controller on my PSP, but it's apparently the hardest shit ever.

>>4149338
I didn't realize/forgot about all of that.
Weird that they randomly decided to add bluetooth support for it.

>>4149307
Yes.

>>4149403
This looks like a child's birthday cake.

>>4147803
Looks nice and clean compared to the console mods on on mini-itx.com.

>PSU Sticking out
>Motherboard Sticking out
>Using the Sega CD add on (the tray version) with nothing on top of it

>>4145172
Yes the Xbox can play DVDs
>>4145406
Not all Computers. Older ones need add on PCI cards or a graphics card that can do DVD playback

>>4144578
>pop figures

>>4147858
Why? You can use almost anything as a case why would you destroy a Dreamcast?

>>4145051
>OhGodWhatTheFuck.jpg

>>4149338
No, that would be the PSP Street. You're thinking of the Wii "Family Edition" that couldn't play gamecube games.

They actually did release a PSP that literally had no wifi at all.

>>4149403
I bet that xbox HDD has some cheese pizza inside it

>>4149592
>You're thinking of the Wii "Family Edition" that couldn't play gamecube games.

Pretty sure anon means the Wii Mini. No GameCube support, Wi-Fi or even bloody ethernet.

Definitely the worst version of an already crappy console.

>>4144578
>tfw no gears of war stickers for your original xbox

>>4151003
The Wii Family Edition is the Wii Mini.

>>4151003
no no
I meant that the equivalent of the wii mini would be the PSP street, as neither had any network functionality whatsoever

the equivalent of the wii family edition would be the PSP go, as they lose compatibility with a physical game format

>>4151003
and don't forget, no RGB or component output support. I wanted one as a backup since it's got a basic top loader instead of the too-many-moving-parts slot loader and WiFi is less use later in a console's life after all the services stop. But with shit video output it's really an utterly useless abomination.

>>4152516

>>4152516
>"I made a thing!"
All they did was gut a console and fill it with dirt. Plenty of consoles become filled with dirt due to neglect, and there are idiots like this that ruin more. I wish people would just make replicas of the console shells instead of destroying them when they do this kind of thing.

>>4146596
Why is this so ugly

>>4147793
This is radical, early and late 2000s aesthetics combined into one

>>4147793
That should be fucking illegal. That nano doesn't even have buttons and you can't see the whole screen what the fuck

>>4147793
this would be a lot cooler, if they crammed a broken gameboy micro or similar into there

>>4153293
make that a pi zero crammed into that

>>4149403

also is HEUGBOX retro now, well fuck.

Nice Collectio- HOLY SHIT A POWER GLOVE

>>4144578

I wish I could afford classic consoles. I have a friend who got a bootleg all-in-one retro console emulator by these guys called "Retro Or DIE". Really sick

Also, get some games dude. I recommend Punch-Out for the NES.

>>4145051

Wat da heck ?

>>4145084

at least you have a setup.

>>4146220

What is that in the Genesis. You know what, I don't want to know.

>>4146346

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT ? PIKACHU IS SUFFERING !!!

>>4146596

Wew Lad, that is something new.

>>4147168

How do you guys find this shit. Also, who signed that ?

>>4147706

Also, Who would be such a dick to sign it.

>>4147793

WTF ?
