Congrats on the arcade, thougg.

>>4452129
This room is depressing.

Whats with the pregnancy tests tucked behind the mirror?

>>4452325
Looks like a chain light to me.

>>4452129
Jesus that room makes me want to kill myself.

>>4452392

Don’t let anyone get in your way

>>4452129
Not sure what the vitriol is about, this looks like a pretty comfy setup to me.

>>4452132
I was thinking the same thing

>>4452129
don't know what the hate is about, I love the setup, nice desk isn't too cluttered, nice monitor and n64, and sweeet cab in the back there, I'm jealous

>>4452129
You and I have practically the same monitor, anon. It's a great tube.

RF on a Sylvania Superset circa 1983, because I can, more or less

I don't have a lot of time for /vr/ gaming. I don't have much space. Every setup is a compromise - this one is mine.

I'm happy with it.

Lets see that lifebar. That's the TV test for Bloodlines.

>>4452714
You'll have to wait a month, all my consoles are at home right now

>>4452696
Hey Anon, I recently put a small tv with a modded wii in my bedroom too. super comfy, but your pic has inspired me to move it closer to the bed

>>4452698
This is beautiful. Good job anon

Quick mock up (as in nothing is plugged in yet) of my soon to be retro computing battlestation.
I moved the Optiplex under the desk to make way for an Amiga, and I'm currently in the process of setting up my Win98 machine

>>4452723
Cool. I for one am using a beanbag chair, which to me is the epitome of comfy.

>>4452747
SEXY

>>4452681
My man, is this a windows PC? Or something else?
I have a hd monitor + consumer CRT set up going through CRT Emudriver on Windows and I've been looking for a way to replicate this. However, Emu4CRT seems to blank your secondary monitor when it changes resolutions, so I don't know if it can even be done when it comes to PSX games.

>>4452747
That dreamcast is looking might snug

Some consoles

>>4453145
And some gaemus

>>4452695
>>4452698

>>4452402
kek

>>4452696

That's pretty damn awesome anon. What size pvm is that? While small, that would be amazing for tight spaces or emulating handheld systems.

>>4453145

Love me some adventure time.

>>4453129
It's a Windows PC w/ CRT Emudriver. For the most part for PSX games I just stick to 240p even on games that go 480i and it looks okay because other than Groovymame emulators hate switching between interlaced and progressive through anything but Arcade OSD. If you look on Arcade Controls I saw someone made a fork of mednafen called Mednafen4CRT or something like that that was supposed to be able to switch resolutions mid game like Groovymame I haven't tried it yet

>>4453129
Yeah if Emu4CRT blanks out your second screen idk I haven't tried it yet I might give it a look soon. I normally just stick to 240p only for the PSX games doesn't normally look bad

here's my room

>>4453314
Nice Atari rig, love the CRT too.

>>4453331
Thanks, I like to play some 2600 every now and then, pretty cozy to play it in bed

>>4453304
But some games swap between 320x240 and 240x240 and what have you. Not to mention silent hill and the map screen that is unreadable at 240p.
What a trade off.

>>4453314
>nietzsche poster

>>4453314
That poster is trash.

>>4453678
which one? there's four in the picture

>>4453151
work on removing the sticker on your pkmn yellow gaemu boi.

use a hot DAMP not wet piece of cloth, fold it so that the surface area touching the game is smaller than the label you want to take off.
this way the moisture and heat will only weaken the glue in parts where it's thick, and then you'll be able to take it off no problem.
If you're completely at a loss coat a line in the middle of the sticker with acetone(nail polish remover), and slowly start coating the acetone on it in broader strokes, after each stroke try peeling the sticker off, if it comes off with ease then take it off, if you have to struggle keep going more broad.

Do this after the hot cloth method for a 100% success rate.

>>4453224
Thanks. It's a 10" JVC, not a PVM. That's mainly what I use it for, emulating NES and GB/GBC using the NES controller (with raphnet adapters).

>>4453536
Did you get it calibrated yet?

>>4453409
For different horizontal resolutions just use a superwide resolutions like 2560x240 but I know what you mean it does suck

>>4453314
Kinda nice, but way too many uncomfy reminders that I'm going to die, lmao.

>>4453536

Sony PROFEEL, nice

>>4453145
The drummer in my band has the same model as your guitar. Do you use it often?

>>4452129
Simple and comfy setup desu, ignore the haters

>>4453145

good taste, spud.

My "station" has been in every sad old corner of this room by now.

>>4452695
Neat, I love how you placed the set on top of a fridge for convenience

>>4453189
That is one pretty sony. Saw something similar in a thrift shop near me some time ago, Passed that one up because it was rf only. I regret not picking it up to this day (it was priced at about 1.50 us$).
.

>>4455984
Thanks! I think it has some caps going due to some occasional wigglyness with the image, but for the time being it's 95% solid. I actually picked it up at a goodwill, it was $20 which is more than I wanted to pay, but I couldn't pass it up; does RF and composite and even came with the remote.

>>4452747
Jesus, it's been forever since I saw one of those optiplex shitboxes. What do you use it for? Also what desk is that that let's you use a side stand which supports the weight of a CRT?

>>4453753
Does this work for stickers on labels and boxes too?

>>4453151
>that GBA SP box
takes me back, really.

>>4456320
For now it's a pretty standard XP machine. It's main use is to run Star Wars Racer and Rogue Squadron, since those won't run on my main desktop. I'll use for dicking around with XP.

The desk is a Ikea Jerker, the side stand is the hinged printer shelf, and it's good for 30kgs (so around 60lbs I think).
These desks are fantastic, and I trust mine so much I'm sleeping right under my CRT. My main desktop is also a Jerker, albeit without the top shelf extension (pic related)

dis b my game room

no one likes it here apparently :sad face:

>>4457497
but i got a super nintendo now!

If you don't have Wario forever looking down on you you don't have a battlestation.

still a bit empty. I am still looking for figures and additional posters.

>>4452714
>Lets see that lifebar. That's the TV test for Bloodlines.

What do you mean by this? Never played bloodlines

Its a pretty poor and sad setup i know. But i got everything there cheap/free and i have limited space, the big tv doesnt help

>>4452129
>>4452315
ive got one even more depressing

>>4458918
amazing stuff, but you should get some warmer light in there :)

>>4453314
nice. I need some posters in mine. The bare walls just make me look like some kind of weirdo.

>>4452747

>>4459374
It's a shame too. Fortunately, I have this old pic of when my retro setup and music setup were combined. Looked cool, completely non-functional and I tore it down shortly after...

>>4453145
This setup is a meme in itself at this point

>>4459169
that stand is not going to last anon

>>4459371

>>4457601
What is up with that chair in front of the monitor?

>>4453145
>TV on a rickety stool
this makes me feel very uncomfortable

>>4453145
you have a qt amp anon
nice guitar too, i play as well but currently shit at it

Just need to work on getting a bigger shelf. Really happy with it at the moment, might get an XBR to replace the WEGA (Has a bit of convergence/geometry issues), or maybe even a PVM if I ever find a 20 incher.

>>4459217
This looks like a nice change of design compared to most battlestations.

>>4459863
It's a kneeling chair. Forces you to sit up straight. I sit in a regular shitty office chair all day at work so it's a nice change of pace when I'm home.

>>4458918
Started a project this week to build my own sit down CRT arcade cabinet that's styled like a candy cab except made of wood. Having a hard time getting information on the angles. Made some quick software to test out designs. Does this look about right? 10° down on the controls and 20° back on the television.

>>4452129

>>4459550
what size is that trinitron?

>>4460719
Clearly 13/14".

Looks like an N-series to me.

I just found some good speakers at Goodwill.

>>4460386
Is that a Hendrix cassette/8-track?

>>4452132

Can't believe this board has been around that long. Or that I've been here that long.

It would be nice to set up all of my video games, had I not lived in a house with 3, sometimes 4 cats.

>>4453145
If people go through the trouble of owning old and expensive video games, then I always have to wonder why their actual set-up is in such a depressingly bare room, on the floor, with a TV on a stool. It's not like an entertainment center is expensive, and you can get the stuff made out of real wood at the good will for under 50 bucks.

>>4457497
>Boba Fett playing guitar.
>Game Informer magazine.
>Charizard card.

>>4460381


I think that angle should work.

>>4460719
>>4460723
It's a 14", yeah. Same as this >>4460978. Composite and S-Video only, got it for free at my last job.

>>4457497

Nothing has changed with my setup recently.
Still posting for (you)'s

>>4468914
>on a board where literal casual normie shit all over but still comes to this board.

>>4469098
I like it. Simple, clean, focused, small collections of games instead of shelves of "gotta own 'em all" collector autism. If you had a dedicated audio system, it'd be perfect. Still, solid 9/10.

Wow you're so cool

>>4469468
I already beat KMT. I picked that game when taking the picture because it has a lot of black in the title screen; I could get it and the battlestation in focus without lighting issues.

>>4459169

Looks good to me, enjoy your games anon!

I'd say that shelf is plenty heavily built, but I'd add a cross brace or something on the back.

>>4469098

Hey, are your speakers meant for your pvm, or are they something you found that matched?

>>4452129
Those old dell workstation laptops are aesthetic as fuck.

>>4469532
They're made for that model.

Suggest a better board.

>>4469119
I think the "gotta own 'em all" mentality spawned mostly from bored western american collectors. They could literally find hundreds of games for dirt cheap at flea markets 10-15 years ago before the craze started. Once they had 400 games at home they were like "well, might as well get them all".

This is the shit people sleeping in the guest room has to put up with.

>>4471623
Nice!

Man... /vr/'s setups look comfy as fuck.

I have a tiny apartment, and my living room is sort've lame, right now. I feel like I don't have good access to any particular system, and it's just not cozy. My couch sucks, too.

You guys seem like you're the people to ask. Any tips on making a comfy gaming area in a tiny apartment?

>>4471704
store your games & controllers out of sight. flashcarts obviously take up less space than a shelf of boxes. take advantage of vertical space. set yourself up so that you can tuck cables away and never need to mess with them again.

>>4471704
honestly a modded wii. a small crt and a neat thrifted recliner will do the job.

>>4452129
I don't quite keep everything in one spot due to room, so I'll just post a pic or two to cover some of it.

Here's a bonus one cus why not?

>>4456483
How is that middle monitor? Found one at a local thrift store for ten bucks and passed. Debated on getting it.

Here's my 13 inch Zenith Space Command next to my pc on my desk. As you can see there is a cubby underneath that I use for my NES. It's RF/mono only which IMO makes this tv great for the NES.

I'm really thinking about giving this tv and the NES to my first kid as his first game setup.

>>4468930
I always sit criss crossed on the floor with my back against the couch when I play. Done so since I was a kid. Old habits stick hard I guess.

>>4472230
That game has underage porn and is thus illegal to sell.

>>4472343
log cabin in rural PA. moved here a couple months ago and its been as comfy as i hoped.

>>4471878
The Samsung T240 ? Actually pretty nice for an old-ish TN LCD. Colors are not crazy once calibrated, and I've never noticed any ghosting or whatever.
The huge bezel and lack of VESA holes do bug me though.
I will only replace it if I can ever afford a 32" 4K monitor, or if I found another FW900.

>>4472236
Lol...

>>4471818
love that Simon Belmont poster on the back, i'm planning to hang one myself eventually, the chronicles artworks are beautiful

>>4452649
Impressive.

R8, h8.
Not pictured is the wii u, and nes and snes classics

Why do you all set up more than one console or two at a time? That mixed with the toys and accessories everywhere looks really cluttered and dysfunctional, especially if you have two separate huge televisions

>>4473228
And a demo shot.

>>4473231
I like to switch to other games at random, it's easier to do that without pulling out a console every couple of hours. It also helps when you have friends over who want to play different systems. All of the toys is just cause its fun to collect various items related to your hobbies.

>>4473228
I remember the dual LCD setup, it looks like you added some posters lol. Is that a Laserdisc player at the bottom?

>>4473281
Yih added a few posters just couldnt get them all into view. Yep, that is a laserdisc player, its suprisingly high quality video and has a great look on the sony.

>>4452129

>>4473539
>He calls them twink without posting his own

>>4473529
What Phillips TV is that?

>>4473676

It's a Philips LTC 2919/90. It's basically their version of a PVM. I think this model was sold primarily for CCTV, as it came with a manual that seemed geared towards that.

It's pretty good, but can only do S-Video or composite. Selection of CRTs around here is very limited.

I know its retro thread but I got 2 ps3 (one hacked, one for netplay) 1 wii hacked, an xbox and 2 pc;s (only laptop pictured here) for retro gaming.

what do you all think?

So, after a little bit of work, today. I have a corner of my room set up with my CRT, my systems, and my computer off to the side. I managed to find one of those round "Moon chairs" or whatever they're called. Gradually working towards comfiness.

That dude isn't me, though I agree with him. I like Trump but the amount of that stuff I have on the walls is meant to be ridiculous, before the election I had a flag and a rally poster, kept adding to it because it wanted stuff on the wall and I thought it was funny. Probably doesn't come across with the amount you see, I'll add pics to it.

>>4475621

>>4476703

It's cool that they're playin' the classics. I hope my nephew liks retro games when he's a little older. :(

>>4476374
Do you like ninja turtles

Everything older than current-gen goes here, everything retro goes in the custom rack.

>>4477294
Is that a Toshiba MD13Q41? I have one of those, pretty decent set for being a budget combo set.

>>4469098
i would get rid of the CD-changer and put the switchbox in the shelf, i.e. glue on the downside of the top plate. Aesthetically, it would look so much better if nothing sits on the PVM.

>>4477375
Thanks, your collection looks great didn't expect so many of them, those zakus at the bottom remind me that I still need to put together my PG Zaku II I bought more than a year ago.

but i need to know everything you guys can tell me about sega CD / psx isos, multiple disks, or sonic and knuckles lock-on shit
are there any extra special procedures that need to be done

>>4482304
multiple discs for the playstation you can manually swap through the menu, but you can also use PSX2PSP to combine the disc images into one file. It makes load times sliiiightly longer but the games play absolutely fine.

>>4482304
Lock-on titles are just stored as one individual rom

>>4482338
are there any subroutines or anything for save files between discs?

>>4482391
I'm not sure what you're asking

>>4482443
if i were to select, say, FF7 disc 2 from the menu, would it be able to read the save file from disc 1?

*tips fedora*

Sadly my N64 is collecting dust in my storage room. The TV I found on the side of the road for free.

Trying to get a room together for my Playstation 1 and 2, and my Genesis. I'm about to pickup the TV tomorrow. I guess this is what it's like when your chick starts talking about putting a bedroom together or decorating the kitchen, because It's all I can think about right now. What stand to get, glass doors or not...what to sit in, either a nice recliner, or a couch. I just can't wait until all this shit starts coming together. hopefully I can get it done by spring. I'm not trying to end up with a bunch of junk. Cheers to all the bros with their setup and enjoying their vidya - hopefully on paid vacation today. Happy near year everyone.

>I gotta get a bigger set
never say this. these threads are 99.9% consumerist compensation for self-esteem/dick size. your battlestation is just fine.

Where do you guys get nice monitors? I have a basic crt like the one in pic related, it does its job fine but seeing real nice ones like in >>4453189 and >>4456483 for example just make me want to hunt for a nicer one. I've tried my local flea market but rarely is it ever anything nice and just some huge ass one the person just wants to get rid of. Most resale stores like goodwill don't even carry them anymore in my area too making those not an option. I would try craig's list but I'm 18 with no license so I'm pretty fucked there as well.

Where do you guys get your nice ass crts?

>>4495973
>that mess of wires
absolutely not alright mate

>>4495989
i'm facing the same problems
listings around my area are just for basic shitty tvs and the goodwill near me doesn't take in any tech
ordering online would be expensive and somewhat sketchy

>>4495989
>>4496009

golden era of being able to get PVMs or broadcast monitors is long gone

dont expect to ever find any for sub $3-400 in mediocre condition

dont bother buying online either because they WILL get destroyed in shipping.

It's hard to take a photo of my phone with my phone, so here is a stock image.

Just picked this 13" on the side of the road for free
it's like the same experience of having a poorfag tier pvm

Try to find a service manual for that model. you can probably add RGB

Beautiful

>>4496545
It's really good. I have it in the living room instead. I primarily use it for my Famicom games.

>>4496550
Cool, thanks!

>>4496550
The only cons I have about it is:
No Composite cables- that means your Zapper games won't play.
No Eject Button for the carts. Famicom games aren't a problem, but once an NES game goes in, it's not coming out without a fight.

That's about it. It's pros really overpower the cons though.

My retrogames room/music room has slowly evolved to have an actual couch and a sega saturn.

Need to find a bookshelf or something to organize stuff and make it look all neat and tidy next. Also want to find a CRT that isn't for tiny babies.

> Not one, not two but three ROBs
Why?

Also, what the frig is up with that speaker system?

>>4501078
I dont know why I love r.o.b. so much... And those aren't speakers. They are the things that make the powerglove ''work''

>>4501082
Aaaah, ultrasonic I presume like an old TV clicker?

>>4501085
No. they literally come with the glove. Its the sensors

>>4501086
Yeah I realise that but how does it work? It doesn't look like infrared hence my question.

>>4501141
Not who you were talking to, but I knew what you meant reading through. It is indeed ultrasonic, anon.

>>4501141
>>4501238
There are speakers on the glove though. Sorry about the lighting. Trying not to wake someone up.

>>4501243

>>4496172
I just want to sit in this room and do nothing

>>4496189
Nice. Found my tv on the side of the road also. Even had the remote.

I hesitate between the white and black kallax, what would you have taken?

>>4501662
I picked black cos I have white wooden floors

>>4501801
If I take white it's not going to break the dim light atmosphere?

Yes, I use the Wii to emulate pretty much everything.

>Playing Persona 5 with a CRT.
You are such a meme.

>>4502248
Well, yeah.

It somewhat masks the low resolution and horrible screen-tearing. And I'm currently fixing my HDTV.

What do you think?

>>4502376
it's a place.

>>4502376
not retro?
>>4502287
720p is low res?

>>4502541
For Persona 5, yes.

>>4502541
My audio stuff is retro

Don't get me wrong. I have plenty of retro consoles, just don't have the space for them all in my mancave

>>4502620
Is that monitor 3:2? It doesn't look like 16:9. Pretty good.

>>4502627
HP LP2065 great for shitposting

>>4477782
Someone know the game ?

One day I'll get a better desk

Here's mine.

Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!

The TV makes a constant high-pitched whine when its on that is so annoying I might swap it out for a bigger one. Not sure how much more weight that little glass top table will support though.

>>4505448
Can a get a better pic of your Master System games?

>>4496408
Is that a prototype? What is it?

>>4505448
I like it man. Made me start looking up high end receivers and speakers

>>4505608
>Can a get a better pic of your Master System games?

Here you go.

>>4505683
I actually just changed my receiver today. My boss had an old Harman/Kardon AVR 145 he gave me, so this old kenwood is getting donated.

>>4505750

Very nice

>>4505750
>My Hero
Thought I was the only one who played that game. The arcade version is alright too, but the SMS version is definitely the better of them.

>>4505393
B&O TVs are even better than PVMs in my limited experience. I have a PVM and it's great but my m8s B&O just looks so much nicer for whatever reason.

>>4452649
what a fucking mess

>>4506169
where is the vidya

>>4506169
In case you didn't just grab it from Google images: this looks a little too minimalistic. A little more posters, pictures, furniture or consoles/computers/monitors would look much better.

>>4506330
Yeah, don't give >>4506169 any credit.

>>4506052
I love that game. Childhood favorite for sure.. My SMS and My Hero are my original copies from when it was a new system.

>>4496408
What Master System games do you own?

>>4505618
Oh yeah, that. It's F-1 Race. Found it at a Mom and Pop gamestore for 8 bucks. Next to it is a Brazilian Rush N' Attack I pulled off Ebay for 7 dollars. I bought it because I like the artwork better than the original.

I own these. One is not shown in the two pictures I took. It's just a loose cart of Astro Warrior/Hang-On.

>>4494656
MAGA

>>4506587
Nice, I hope to get there some day with my SMS collection. I love how the CIB games for SMS are not much more expensive than loose, due to the durable cases.

I would never bother getting CIB for anything with cardboard boxes, it's just too expensive.

>>4506616
Yeah, CIB cardboards are ridiculous. Unless it's Intellivision games. They're pretty cheap for most of them.

Temp battlestation. Moving my stuff here from the living room.

>>4461023
And I'm STILL SALTY over you guys not picking ma/vr/ricks over /vr/troopers.

>>4458918
What's that game? It's obviously a softcore 90's hentai qix clone or something - but which one?

>>4501257
>globe sticker
do you skate?

>>4452649
i have that same trinitron. got it free from a guy. i love it. probably the best i'm gonna get for now. i am not a huge fan of flat CRTs though. I need to wait until i rent a house so i can have space for more.

>>4475621
pls no step X 2

muh room

>>4505448
What are these kind of TV units called?

>>4509165
That is one yellowed super fami.

>>4509292
Ohh if only you knew. The poor thing has gone through hell. I dont even remember how i got it. The OG power supply blew the grill on the back side has holes and i had to fix the locking system.
With age the plastic became VERY brittle. Its got to a point where if you hold it with one hand the chassis will snap under its own weight.
I dont know why the plastic has gone bad like this. I cant find anybody with a similar problem.

>>4509343
Interesting. I have a super fami that is quite yellowed as well. Picked it up in Tokyo a couple of weeks ago for 300 yen in a "broken" bin. Brought it home, plugged it in and it booted fine, had no issues so far. Plastic doesn't feel brittle or anything though. That's pretty weird. Hard to see, but mine is here >>4471823 and looks almost if not as yellowed as yours does.

>>4509343
yellowed console plastic is known to be super brittle

>>4509362
anyway to fix it ?
If it gets any worse i wont even be able to remove the screws.

>>4509362
Is this always the case? Just wondering if I should expect mine to get super brittle as a result.

>>4509395
you should expect it.
>>4509372
>anyway to fix it ?
nope, you somewhat reverse yellowing but plastic stays weak.

>>4509274
I've always called them entertainment units.

>everyone has a saturn and you dont
i hate this feeling. i once found a saturn at a flea market but didnt buy it because it has no cables or controller and i wasnt sure if it was gonna work. I also opened the disc tray and it opened up real slow and i thought maybe that was a bad sign. I never had seen a saturn irl prior to this

>>4509549
I passed on one in Tokyo a few weeks ago for 2000 yen, myself.

About time it got some lovin'.

Thanks, anon.

>>4510898
Nan mon gars je te conseille juste de choper ce que tu peut. Les Français aiment le retro gaming depuis longtemps et le peu de PVM's et bon CRT's en circu on soit étés detruits par des attardés et des vieux ou sont vendus a des prix pas possibles par des scalpers.
Evite juste a tout prix les TV chinoises et koréenes. En France Phillips est un bonne marque assez facile a trouver et les Ecrans plats Samsung sont pas trop mals.
Le top ce serait une Sony ou une mitsu des 90'.

Mon conseil Ultime : REGARDE SUR LES TROTTOIRS

Les Français sont degeu faignants et avares mais ça joue a notre avantage.
En plus de peser une tonne tu doit payer un taxe pour les foutre a la dechtterie dans certaines villes alors les gens les balancent juste dehors. Le top c'est le landemain des marchés au puces ou en été+printemps pendant le gros netttoyage.

Au pire si t'est riche paye toi une B&O.

>>4510898

>>4512731
nah man, let him magnetize his bvm.

>>4496408
so wait... how do you play on the tv? do you sit between table and tv or are you on that chair always looking downward? bot don't seem to be comfy, why not put the tv higher?

>>4512731
>>4512745
Yeah speaking of magnetizing CRT's , do i risk magnetizing mine ?
>>4509165
You cant see it but the speaker on the left makes a colored smudge on the screen while the right one messes with the geometry

Very nice. Thinking on getting the same kinda setup for the den so my roommates and I got something to go head to head with.

>>4508137
Yes I do.

>>4512949
if a magnet is close enough to affect the monitor in any way then it's close enough to magnetize the mask.

>>4513087
shieet where the fuck am I gonna put those now ?
Well thanks for the advice anyway.

>>4512757
>>4512757
The table does not interfere with the set, actually. Despite it looking very awkward, it actually kinda works. My first thought was "This is a horrible idea," but once I tried it out, it was surprisingly good. Putting the set higher is impossible. It's a floor model.

>>4512731
thanks, wasn't aware of this. unfortunately i have like every inch of the desk covered, so I'll have to get creative.

I just got this new setup.
