/vr/ - Retro Games

Only that I already wasted my chance to get some furniture buying shitty games, you can be better than this. Do it, my man.

>>4541198
These cube shelves are so popular for some reason, but I think they are way too tall. Ikea has a similar shelf unit with wider, lower openings that I think works better for consoles. I used to have a pic of it but I can't find it now.

>>4541231
This is neat if it is in like a garage or a basement, but if it's in a furnished space in a normal home, it's pretty upsetting.
It actually looks like it's in a classroom or something though, so I don't get it.

Transplanted from my living room. This stuff is in my office so I haven't gotten specific furniture, but I am looking for some if you've got any reccomendations.

Wanting to move all of the games to shelves since these aren't meant to hold media

>You have shit taste in moves that's for sure. It would be slightly more acceptable if you were a woman.

My girlfriends shit is all over my house. My fault for never collecting any wall pieces.

Im not a treasurefag but i just happened to be playing those games at the time

Finally picked up a "new" entertainment system for my old consoles. Rather pleased with how it looks now.

>>4541510
A-are those stickers on your Genesis? Why?
>>4541559
There are far worse games to like, anon.
>>4541198
Cubes/10
In all seriousness, it doesn't look too bad. Just not a fan of this cube-style wave furniture seems to be riding.

So, I just finished setting this up today.

Right now I'm beating a Link to the Past and I'm not sure what I'll play next. Probably one of the Spyro games!

Please excuse my horrible low res picture, I took this image with a potato

>>4541656
why is there a picture of the "my body is ready" dude above your snes?

>>4541559
I'm glad you have some furniture unlike some people ITT, even if it's homemade. But it looks a little unstable, anon, it looks like it's leaning to one side and at risk of collapsing under the TV's weight, crushing your consoles. If you put a backboard or a diagonal brace on the back, it would probably help.

>>4541572
Nice, maximum 90s

>>4541656
Is this just a shrine, or are those consoles actually hooked up?

I'm curious - why do you have a master system and no MD/Genesis when a MD/Genesis has almost perfect backwards compatibility (and no addon is needed if you use the mega everdrive)?

Not a criticism by the way, it's just uncommon to see a MS with no MD, particularly a MS II.

>>4540907

>>4545498
Is the whole PS3N going down? Part of the reason I decided to give up on modding and just collect legit games for PS3 (besides the prices really plummeting) was the free online but I haven't played online in any serious way yet.

>>4545310

This is just what I have in the bedroom. I have a few genesis model 1s, a couple model 2 along with sega cd and 32x (and other various consoles) in my basement setup.

There is actually a model 3 genesis sitting on top of the pvm in the pic above. It doesn't normally sit there, just for the pic. Model 3 outputs RGB natively (others do too) but it only outputs mono sound. It's physically smaller than the other genesis models so I usually use it on this small stand.

My wife grew up with a master system so she likes to play astro warrior at times. I keep it there so she can destroy zannoni when she feels like it.

Sadly my /vr/ setup is a bunch of virtual machines and emulators (other than the small amount of consoles and games I bought back in the day)
Scalpers, nintensoys and all the other faggots have turned this hobby into a shitty "business", and I have better uses for 200 bucks than blowing it on a chrono trigger cart

>Have a pretty big spare room for entertainment
>Have a ton of retro systems and games
>tfw seeing all these cool pictures but I can't figure out a good spot to set up a retro station

It hurts lads. I just can't figure out where to put a big ass CRT TV. So I've just been sucking it up and playing my N64, Dreamcast, PS2, 3DO, and Saturn on flatscreens.

>>4540742

>>4549034
Start with a small CRT then

>>4540742
AUSSIE DOLPHIN!!!

>>4541031
Why is the tv on the potty?

>>4540742
I don't have anything to contribute other than I am drinking coffee out of the same exact cup.

Nothing has changed. Give me (you)'s please.

>>4549197
I also have this cute little 13" Zenith Space Command that I have my NES hooked up to by RF in my bedroom.

>>4549197
Could paint those walls or throw up a couple posters.

>>4549034
Don't go over 27"
Get a tv stand, chair, couch, table from a second hand store.

Look for a Trinitron or a Toshiba AF model.

>>4549226
Unfortunately the ENTIRE HOUSE is painted this color, so that's not changing anytime soon. And I do have some posters but I haven't gotten around to putting them up yet.

>>4548919
DESU, these days I'd rather buy new/rare pressings of vinyl of bands I like then spend another $100+ on a vintage game I'll probably never get around the beating let alone playing for any significant period of time.
But regardless, it's just another hobby of me buying expensive shit that'll just collect dust.

>>4541656
Nintendrones, everyone.

>>4541028
Nice Gaiden CiB and CV limited edition.
Also, is that Resident Evil 2 Poster printed out or does it just not fit the frame? Looks weird

>>4540968

thats... not a battlestation, thats all your shit on the floor.

>>4550031
Thanks, I’m a big fan of resident evil, the poster is real and just doesn’t fit the frame, I haven’t bothered to get a better one yet. Code Veronica is my favorite, but I’ve beaten 4 the most. Which is also one of the few very rare PERFECT games.

>>4549231
>>4549069
Can't figure out where I'd put something of that size either mates. I try to keep these room sleek and organized, and I can't figure out where I could put a big, bulky CRT TV without disrupting the whole feel of the room.

Is there a CRT TV that's fairly compact in nature?

>>4551153

>>4551157
Nice. Guess I know what to look for when I hit up garage sales.

Cheers, dude!

>>4551153

based anon had a meltdown and posted a pic of his dick and shit that stayed up for a few hours before being modded away, then pics of dreamcast, psone in toilet and pvm on toilet, pvm was too big to fit in. Was a rather funny meltdown, it may have happened because of arcade games. I have no idea.

I kind of love this TV stand from CL. Vintage ikea maybe?

That's neat, but the purple light is a bit much. At least you put some effort into decorating.

>>4552796

...and in the process, managed to make it look like a museum.

I assume those standard issue IKEA inserts were pretty damn hard to track down. Good job.

>>4552796
This looks really nice and I'd love to have that CD32. Still not worth living in Europe though.

>>4553028
You're welcome to hop on a plane and come stay gramps. It may look like a museum but trust me not a weekend goes by where I don't end up with a house full playing something retro. Funnily enough it's the 3do that gets the most use because it's got some really awesome but odd party games.

>>4553041
Ten years ago I just might've. It's irritating that those glass inserts for Ikea cubes appear to be cheap and common there but basically nonexistent here. I'm going to be moving into the big house over the next couple years so I'm starting to allow myself to think about the remodels. I always felt guilty visualizing living here in the small house here since I knew it wouldn't be until after my grandma was gone but the next transition is hopefully going to be a lot happier since it's because my family's getting bigger and it's just too big for my mom now. There's a lot of interest in 3DO among my friends too. It occupies a certain mysterious border area where obscure meets modern. My full on party space is currently limited to just my man cave which has been getting pretty stacked with treasures and less with people but after the move I'll hopefully have a party barn before I'm too old to even have an interest in partying.

>>4552696
>Listening to Yes
Dude now you're speaking my language. I also like cassettes! I used to go to a Half Price Book Store that sold used cassettes for $0.50 a pop. I was able to find quite a few valuable ones for very cheap. My best finds were Led Zeppelin 1 and 4 for $1

It's a work in progress. But I just set it up the other day. Hides away nicely inside one of my closets when I close the door.
OG Xbox and GCN are missing. Not sure where I am gonna fit the Xbox. Likely gonna have to put some kind of shelving unit that hangs from the top. Also got some posters and decor to put up still.

Those are GCN,Wii, 3DS, Dreamcast and Genesis games at the top.

>>4553440
Looking good!
Just busting your balls a bit, but that looks like the kind of setup a wife makes their husband have when she LETS him keep the collection he had before they got married. In the closet, out of sight.

Stuff a 5200 in there

My battle station is custom software I'm writing for a hobby.

I slide open a drawer in my coffee table, pick up any wireless Xbox 360 controller and it magic-packets my PC on, then from Steam I can boot my custom library program.

My honorabu goal is to power through my backlog of a hundred missed gems throughout the 90s and 00s. Without a wire in sight.

>>4553440
I like your setup, stealth if I've ever seen it. Everything fits well and looks comfy.

>>4553494
Ah, I could see that. But I live on my own in a one bedroom apartment. It's more of a space saver. On top of not wanting all my retro/hobby shit littered throughout my living room when I have guests/women over.

>>4553631
That's an admirable task you are endeavoring.

>>4541656
funny Iwata and Shiggy may mays.
Would be nice if you could actually play those games. We wanna see the TV with your setup.

>>4552696
Better be careful mate, cassettes are becoming the new hip thing

I theorize it's because young people (read, 20 and under) are fascinated by an age of physical products you can hold and feel. Having grown up in a web-enabled, all-digital world, where music, movies, pictures, etc. can all be transient and ethereal, I think there are a lot of younger people who want to own something real.

But it also means getting a good laugh out of people who overvalue old media.

>tfw I'm slowly winning my GF over on my giant sony TV

If I play my cards right it will end up being our only TV when we move in together

>>4553965
One of my friends got his girlfriend to let him keep a CRT in her apartment by getting a pink Hello Kitty TV for her. Whatever works I guess.

Bunping this thread.
I want to see more battlestations for inspiration and ideas

>>4554713
Ok

>>4555061
Sweet, although you could improve it 20% for like $10 just by buying some cooler mouse pads and a legit PS1 memory card

>>4552796
This is a neat solution to the cube problem, but it looks like you have the same issue I have where there's no clearance to use cartridge-stacking peripherals like Sonic & Knuckles or the Super Game Boy.

I like my setup, and I was trying to keep it low-profile because I play sitting on the floor or on a bean bag chair and hate craning my neck up, but I wasn't thinking about cartridge clearance. As it was, it was hard enough to find a TV stand that was deep enough and sturdy enough for the monitor and speakers.

>>4553965
>>4553987
>having to convince your gf to let you have a crt
This is a meme, right? My gf doesn't give a shit what I have. She even uses my CRT to play Dr. Mario or Bust-A-Move every now and then.

>>4555108
I know I have plain mousepads lying around somewhere, but the memory card drives me crazy. It has a huge E.B. Games price tag stuck on it that has transformed over the decades into something more like stone than paper, and I'm confident I will never get it off.

>>4555136
Yeah you have to soak that shit to get it off and there's no way to get the casings off memory cards without breaking it a little bit to a lot. Maybe in another 20 years it'll be considered "patina"

>>4553961
>MFW VHS tapes come in vogue again

>>4555381
One of my friends has been picking up some pretty great VHS lots lately. I'm into laserdiscs, but they are much harder to find, and sometimes the really good ones are quite expensive.

>>4555436
I'm glad I got my laserdiscs when I did and I'm just now picking up some VHS once in a while, basically just small studio horror especially clamshells.

>>4541371
It looks like the Ikea Expedit which were beloved for years by vinyl enthusiasts as they were the perfect size for 12 inch record storage. Ikea phased them out a couple of years ago for the Kallax unit which is similar but not as sturdy.

>>4555436
I thought about collecting for laserdisc for a bit. I was even lucky enough to be able to TRY OUT a laserdisc player and borrow some discs for FREE to see if I like the format or not.
It's certainly fascinating, but the quality of video, and risk of disc rot turned me off from collecting them. I just tried to balance out the positives and the negatives of collecting laserdisc and their were unfortunately more negatives than positives to me that made them not worth the effort for me.
But I'm not dissing anyone else who collects them, they ARE cool, they're just not for me.
I'll just stick with vintage games and vinyl for the most part. As if I need another thing to collect to blow my money on.

>>4555578
Laserdiscs are encoded in composite video. High bandwidth, but still composite. They don't look great on most HDTVs

>>4555582
That's the thing, I was playing them on my PVM 2530. They looked good for the most part, but it just wasn't for me.

>>4555760
Looks good man, very respectable. The stand with the TV and consoles is well proportioned and everything fits in a pleasing way. Yeah, the bookshelf needs an upgrade. Consider getting a deeper shelf and storing loose carts, controllers, etc. in fabric bins like pic related.

I like how he boots up Metal Slug X on his oh-so-expensive Neo Geo every time to prove to his cool friends over at leddit (and here) how much of a cool, serious gamer guy he is. I assume many a fedora was tipped in his honor.

>>4556493
So did you have to dig through older posts to find this to prove your point or do you go on leddit as well and just want to be an ass that this guy just wants to share what he has on multiple sites? Keep in mind, you had to go on leddit as well, so does that make you a faggot as well?
>>4557386
I don't see the problem. He's got a PVM 2530 and a Neo Geo with Metal Slug X. I'd do that too if my point was to show off the best aspect of my collection.

>>4552696
Whats the point of vinyl these days when everything is recorded digitally? Might as well just get cd's. I guess it makes sense for old music repressing.
>>4555381
>>4555436
>>4555494
Also whats the point of VHS with its crappy res? laser disc I wanted to get into because it apparently had the picture quality almost as good as dvd so they would liik nice on my CRT.

>>4558058
There's a long standing belief that vinyl has a fuller, sometimes called warmer sound quality. It's analog, so it's an actual recording of the music and not a digital one which is just a series of 1s and 0s strung together to emulate sound.
There's also the topic of it's intrinsic value as a physical media, something to hold. The experience of sitting down and actually listening to the record and having to flip it over once one side is complete. The artwork is on full display and not some tiny image on a phone.
The idea of owning a physical music library over a digital one that you can't touch and will someday be gone is also present.

>>4558086
No I understand the differences with analog vs digital which is why i see the point collecting records of music recorded via anlog. However most if not all music today including the literally who band that poster listens to probably records via some digital mix box or whatever which means you are c0onverting 1, 0s into analog waves which seems redundant to me as you wont get that static analog feeling.

>>4558058
The point of both is physically owning an object that represents the media you appreciate. The inconvenience of obsolete physical media actually forces you to engage in a more active way. The act of listening to a record is more intentional, as opposed to "easy" streaming etc. which is incidental. When you put a record on, you are kind of committing to listening to it.

VHS isn't as interesting to me because I was more exposed to it as a kid, and thought it was crappy even back then. Laserdiscs stand out as "cool" in my mind, like something I would've fantasized about owning in the 90s if I were a millionaire, just like a NeoGeo. But as I've begun accumulating LDs, I've noticed that I also just love the era of movies that the format covers. VHS would scratch that itch too, for some people.

>>4558086
>It's analog, so it's an actual recording of the music and not a digital one
Except modern music is recorded digitally from the start. I still enjoy vinyl for the other reasons you mention though.

1/2

>>4558137
Well getting a physical copy is why I get CD's. And for art work you usually get that on the cd case.

>>4558141
Why do you have all this stuff, yet your TV is on the floor? Do you just hate yourself?

2/2 (Cabinet being restored; A Jojo's Bizarre Adventure - Heritage for the Future)

>>4558150
Maybe because the TV is a floor model set. Why haven't you thought of that?

>>4558142
I guess CDs are like VHS to me. Common, no "cool" factor. I know there are some people who just never gave them up, so unlike vinyl I guess nobody is doing it because they think CDs are cool, they just like them.

>>4558156
It's too low. It would be painful to sit in that chair at that distance and look at that screen for very long. Also, "floor model" means it was displayed "on the showroom floor" (which usually does not mean literally on the ground, except for things like cars). Maybe I'm retarded and you were joking.

>>4558160
At first, I had the same thought. I saw down in the chair to try it out, however. Believe it or not, I actually works, and it works well. The term "floor model" also can refer to a type of television. Maybe you are retarded.

>>4558164
Sat.* My apologies.

>>4540742
Hey guys, i just found my old PS2, and i want to play some shit. How can i connect it to my LG Monitor? It has a VGA Port.

>>4558198

>>4558127

I've mentioned it before, but most of the beatles albums are a good example of this. A few years ago they released a flac (or some type of lossless) high bitrate digital files on an aluminum apple thing. It is digital and sounds way worse than the originals on clean vinyl. I think the lossless apple thing was digitally remastered. If you listen to a quality rip (or the record) it sounds far better.

It's pretty sad when even the beatles content owners do a shit job "remastering".

>>4558160
>"floor model"

Most people I knew had these type of TVs in the 80s. Televisions that fit into entertainment centers or tv stands weren't as common until the 90s. Sure smaller televisions existed that sat on shelves etc, but once they got to a certain size, these floor type televisions become super popular.

>>4558249
But they were always embedded in a bulky console (as in your pic) that lifted the screen away from the floor. The one in the pic above looks uncomfortably low.

>>4558160
>sit in that chair


Get on the floor fool.

>>4558407
Appropriate for small children, but not for adults. Have some self-respect, get a low chair or a beanbag or something at least.

>>4549197
Ignore the haters. Your setup is boss.

>>4558058
>Also whats the point of VHS with its crappy res?

No point for studio level films of the era shot on 35mm (like Terminator, Ghostbusters, Lethal Weapon, etc). But for B movie Horror, Action, Comedy, Erotic Thriller, it's worth it for the better artwork (see pic vs. the DVD artwork http://www.joystickdivision.com/2008/04/joysticks_the_greatest_video_g.php)) and the "grainy" picture that often adds to the feel of these low grade slasher, martial arts, zombie movies (these movies often look worse when they get a DVD release, since they're basically just rips from the VHS or lazily transferred from the original tapes [most of these movies were shot on tape anyway as opposed to film, so VHS level fidelity is good enough]).

And like LPs, there's a lot of obscure crap that never saw a DVD release.

>>4558797

>>4558797
I would think that VHS will suffer a greater toll in aging than media like vinyl, cartridges, and optical discs. I had some 8-track tapes that became unplayable as the rubber parts of the mechanism inside decayed into mush. But, I know that there are people who take the tapes apart and rebuild them with more durable wheels inside, so maybe the problems with VHS longevity that will inevitably crop up will have solutions too. Is that something you worry about?

>>4558836
It does, that's another reason I like clamshells - and laserdiscs, being an analog optical format. A real unicorn.

>>4558836
>I would think that VHS will suffer a greater toll in aging

Definitely. There's some production houses like Code Red and Drafthouse who do restorations and digital transfers of obscure 70's and 80's movies for the sake of preservation. And if you have any such obscure VHS films, probably a good idea to make a digital copy.

>>4557386
You sound incredibly jealous.

>>4558045
>So did you have to dig through older posts
Na, happened on it by accident. Literally the 8th result in google images if you search for "PVM 2530". I recognized the setup and wondered where the image was posted/uploaded.

>>4553440
Now you're a REAL closet gamer!

>>4559451
Well I'll be damned, my picture of my setup and PVM IS on google search! I guess it's because there's not too many examples of 2530's in image searches and mines being used for it.

>>4562378
No big deal, bro. I was just teasing anyway, since this whole "LEDDIT! LEDDIT EBERYWHERE!"-boogeyman-meme is such a big deal on this board.

It's obvious your account there no longer exists, and aside from some minor faults (cube shelf meme, still looks like you moved in a week ago, etc.) it's a decent setup.

I'd really enjoy to see some context with the rest of the room, that might help in judging the actual coziness of the battlestation. Your usual angle only shows off your amassment of merchandise, which is fine by itself, but it's nice to get some visual clues as to how users actually interact with their setups.

>>4558842

>>4562925
Believe me there's not much to go on inside that room. While most of the house is fine, that particular room is still a "work in progress." Definitely not ready for guests.

>>4563291
That display is poorly calibrated or outright failing

>>4563495
Either way, it's bullshit.

>>4563492
Dedicated "game rooms" often have something cringey about them, at least to me. I know it's just a preference, but I enjoy the opposite option of integrating your station into an existing room instead. That way, the hobby blends more naturally (at least visually) into your everyday life. Giving some sort of... context, to you, as an individual.

Having a dedicated game room on the other hand often reeks of a very blatant man-child regression into childhood. A stagnant, non-dynamic process. Stereotypical, feels unoriginal.

>>4563519
Some people don't live alone and don't want piles of shit in their living rooms.

Bah. Bought this awesome glass door cabinet from the goodwill for $10 but it's not going to work in my battle station. The individual shelves aren't wide enough for more than one console.

>man-child regression into childhood.

Maybe if your room looks like PeteDorr's. There are many tasteful ways to decorate a dedicated game room.

wrong and wrong, both are direct captures from Neil Young's Human Highway. Left from LaserDisc, right from VHS.

>>4552796
HE/10

>>4563971
I'm not sure what you are trying to say. That VHS and laserdisc have comparable quality in general? They really don't. Laserdisc has more bandwidth, more TVL discernible, doesn't degrade in quality over time or through copying, drastically better audio options (which is why there are a fair number of music-related discs). Those benefits only matter if the disc is mastered well. Some of the early DVD releases looked much worse than their VHS counterparts in some frames due to bad encoding, but nobody ever said DVD is an inferior format in general.

Or maybe you are trying to say that Laserdisc is better than VHS? In that frame you posted, there is a lot more detail visible on the LD side. Look at the lines on the garage door, the wrinkles on their outfits, the details on the badges.

>>4563971
Well then the capture device is poorly calibrated

>>4541028
what are those magazines?

>>4564025
Yeah, I was just implying LD was radical, I made that comparison picture. I just posted it because it was tangentially on-topic. Human Highway was only available on VHS and LD until rather recently, and the VHS copies floating around the net prior to the re-release looked like shit compared to the LD rip I made.

>>4560748
Heavily underrated

h

>>4564347
You should really post with more context then. I think a lot of people are interpreting that image as an argument that laserdisc and VHS are both bad, because both images look washed out and blurry in general.

I kind of hate it when people have two TVs side by side like this.

I'm a minimalist so I don't have/want a collection. So here's a pic of my "emulation machine".

>not a thinkpad
>windows 8
Your life must be a living hell.

>>4564483
My thinkpad is with a friend who needs a computer for work and have no money to buy a new one.

But yeah, I have to pay some tech guy to install windows 7 on this computer. I fucking hate windows 8.

>>4564483

lol no

>>4564415
why?

I feel the same, but can not really articulate exactly why. It's such an awful waste of space.

I recently renovated an unused room in my home and made it my exclusive retro room. Fits 4-5 people quite well and it’s a huge amount of fun to play multiplayer games from the past.

Ew.

connects his consoles to a TV that is more suitable to their type. More people should do that because you would only make it more difficult for yourself if you would connect a /vr/ console to a new TV and vice versa.

>>4565126
>they're supposed to have a red glow
I'm even a Devo fan and I didn't recognize this from the capture. There are a LOT of assumptions one needs to make to not be "outright retarded" apparently.

I guess it's because there are two "focal points" of your eyeline in the same plane. I don't mind it at all when the screens are at different angles, like one screen on one wall and another around the corner at a right angle. It's like, would you have two couches side by side? No, you'd probably put them in an L-shape at least. So where do you sit when you have two screens to look at?

It's also not noticeable when the screens are sufficiently small, like a 13" PVM next to a regular PC monitor wouldn't bother me.

>>4565126
I thought it was fairly clear that the nuclear glow was part of the film and that VHS was not doing it any favors. It wasn't my clearest post, I'll admit.
>>4565338
Not much of a spud if you haven't seen Human Highway, gramps.

>>4565149
cute!

>>4565605
Nah, the post was fine. I was able to discern two important points simply by glancing at the thumbnail:

1. - It was Devo (despite not really following them apart from once seeing Whip It featured on Beavis & Butthead)

2. - The red glow was obviously a late 70s superimposed video effect (blame a glut of Tom Baker-era Doctor Who for that one)

>>4565630
You're a good dude, anon

>>4565664
Get your tongue out of my arse, anon.

I ain't THAT good ;-)

>>4565149
Really good console selections, and mynigga.jpg @ the Saturn accessories. All you need is a mission stick and you'll be golden.
Should definitely consider getting a bigger CRT, for the distance and especially for multiplayer. Anything from 24-27 inches would probably fit better. Also the left speaker being so far away from the right/TV irks me.

I bought most of my retro consoles at MSRP because I was there, rugrat

>>4540742
Just set this bad bitch up this week. Free SNES (my friend), free N64 (dad's friend), had the TV in a room not being used, free TV stand, had the OG Gamecube and Genesis. Just bought the Dreamcast for the sole purpose of playing Shenmue.

Currently playing Shining Force II but not really because the save battery is dead and the replacement hasn't arrived so I'm actually playing Soul Calibur II and on my SNES mini playing Mega man x.

>>4552796
Cool
>>4555061
Also cool, despite the sort of "nerd with no queer eye for design" lack of decorating.
>>4555760

All the Retro I need is in emulators.

>>4572178
Emulator performance must be miserable on PS3 linux.

>>4572248
No, It's pretty good.
Why do you think its miserable?

>>4571062
>retards ITT using a CRT when the OSSC

so I got an ossc and it just came in today. trying to figure out how I hook my pc up to it so I can use it with my vga monitor. any advice?

>>4541305
Do you live in Japan?

>>4548101
You have similar taste to me senpai. You have a comfy looking set up.

Can one of ya'll help me? What are some good places to keep wires/cables. I currently just keep them next to the console to which they belong and I hate how it looks.

>>4572286
I thought PS3 Linux couldn't access the GPU and like 80% of the system's resources.

>>4572954
Get a small plastic tote and some twist ties.

>>4574249

>>4574361
Do you even have a car?

>>4574452
Err yes.

I also own a house built with bricks.

>>4574547
So then you're very wealthy for a European I guess

>>4549203

Why go through life guessing? Educate yourself on standards of living around the world, or stop trolling.

Either way you're only embarrassing yourself.

I spend a lot of time on /o/. I know what your "car" probably looks like

Good thing its a Saturn. I got no more space.

That's the first time I've ever seen a Nokia TV. How is it like?

Even worse than warped discs, watch out for the weight of the tower crushing the cases on the bottom. I've lost ps2 games in my trunk while coming back from conventions.

>>4577127
>>4577160
It looks like this and has 270lb-ft of torques while returning 50mpg.

Like I said, only embarrassing yourself.

>>4558150
It's a console TV. It doubles as a piece of furniture to put stuff on.

>>4578058
It is really good! It's a 29 inch TV with good sound system. And because it's euro, it has RGB.
It looks like an arcade monitor in person.

>>4577873

Just get a fucking AV Famicom.

>>4572028
It's a vinyl figure by First 4, back before they started to do fuckhuge statues. Seems it's gotten quite hard to find, though.
