/vr/ - Retro Games

>>4766381
And of course my first post on here would have a sideways photo.

Still a lot to organize. Most of my games are played on a modded 2tb original Xbox.

Vinyl/Laserdisc collection

>>4766401
Is there such a thing as a 2tb ide hdd?

>>4766407
Used a IDE to Sata adapter. I can post some of it running in a sec.

(1/?) Supports most keyboards pretty decently with usb adapter

(3/?)

(5/5) Rest of the games are not retro

>>4766421

What is this, some kind of shitty emulation box? Those things have way too much input lag to be usable. I can appreciate the need to consolidate space, but this is not the way to go.

Recently moved in to a new apartment so I still have a lot of shit in boxes and whatnot but here you go.

that’s the yellowest super nintendo I’ve ever see

>>4766513
Thanks a lot

>>4766648
I swear it's the photo. While it indeed has turned yellowish, it's nowhere near as bad as the photo depicts it.

there is more but this is the newest picture, i do need to get some actual furniture like an entertainment center for this stuff but it's quite nice for what it is.

bulk game storage in those drawers.

Im looking for a TV bench that can support my crt, any recommendations?

>>4766381
I legit thought you turned your TV sideways to play vertical shmups on a TV not designed for them.

I remember one magazine specifically and in multiple articles recommending to do this for Ikaruga (although it was the Gamecube port).

I am into it. I enjoy seeing what others did with their Xbox. I have mine modded with a 500gb Pata drive, and for a while it was my retro machine & media center. I use UnleashX as a dash board however. Once I began to utilize the wii as a retro machine however, I realized how bad the xbox was for the same purpose. The Xbox works better for some systems, and as a media center however.

>>4770356
>I have mine modded with a 500gb Pata drive
correction: Mine is the 250gb. I gave my brother my other unit which has the 500gb. I feel autistic enough to point out my own bullshit. My xbox is the least used of the systems.

I feel like I rarelly get to brag about my setup

You're not fooling anyone, only poor whites live with that much trash. I can smell the trash, body odor, and stale cigarette smoke in that pic from here anon.

Been trying to work out a system here, thinking about moving this shit into a bigger room, hence the missing consoles.

How can you stand playing with such a stretched aspect ratio? And put that cringy Guy Fawkes mask away.
>>4766405
I do have love for any Laserdisc posting on /vr/ though

>>4766452
Why do you leave advertising and packing material stuck to your possessions? Here's a tip, get some bins, baskets, or containers like pic related to put all those loose controllers and junk in.
>>4766650
I figured something must be messed up (white balance?) in the photo. Just look at how over-saturated the Zapper looks.

>>4766717
It looks like you've invested in some very nice equipment, and now it's time to invest in some real furniture like you say. That monitor is beautiful and your consoles look to be in great condition, so get the right furniture for a setup that will look as nice as it deserves to.

>>4766895
Nice I like the plant. How often do you use the tate screen?
It's crazy to me how a 4:3 rectangle looks so much longer when it is oriented that way. I assume it's because my brain is trained to see 4:3 in the normal orientation as square.

>>4768356
Ruined by memes, all I can think about now is how annoying your "jokes" would be rather than all the cool stuff we'd do if I came over.

>>4770356
Not retro, and I have always been turned off by xbox stuff anyway, but I actually like how it matches your red wii.

>>4770683
Plain but seems "lived in" in a pleasing way. Like someone's basement in the 90s who maybe had a cool older brother.

>>4770779
Living the slav life

>>4770806
Hey this looks even better than the last time I saw it. The TV being on the floor might help your little friend to play.

>>4770909
>Not retro, and I have always been turned off by xbox stuff anyway, but I actually like how it matches your red wii
I know it is not retro, but I am generally talking about its use as a emulation device....which at first was its primary function. I have beaten lots of Snes titles on its shitty controller (only shitty for someone used to the Snes). It was a good way to upscale to a HD tv via component video cables. It does a good job with 32x emulation also IIRC. I found a version of Quake 2 designed specifically for the system that works great as well. Like I said, the Wii pretty much replaced most of its functions as a retro system.

I did paint it red to match the Wii actually. It was intentional. I also made the jewel "match" by using mahogany veneers to create something totally different.

My room is small as fuck so I don't have the space for a bigger stand as of right now. It sucks because I can only really have four of my old systems out at a time with this setup when I have way more than that.

Current setup contains a Mega Drive, Super Famicom, Famicom, and Dreamcast.

>>4770964
Resized for sideways bullshit

>>4770961
Neat, I didn't realize you had done it yourself. It's very tasteful, not "gore" at all.

>>4770973
>Neat, I didn't realize you had done it yourself. It's very tasteful, not "gore" at all.
I can't stand modded systems that look unfaithful to the design. I pondered putting its guts into a micro pc case, but ended up deciding against it because it was more work then it was worth. Thanks!

I took a picture right now as I am getting ready to fire up the N64.

That's the best my limited space can do. I can't even let my games out of boxes because i have no room. I do plan on having a huge space for a workstation/game room eventually though.

>>4771007
How do you have an actual PSX while living in Serbia or wherever that is?
It might look neat if you got a second, similarly sized TV to put next to that one. Often I don't like the multiple screen look but with such a big unit and so many consoles, I think it would turn out great.

>>4771020

I live in Brazil, and I actually do okay for myself, it's just that the temporary place I'm in does look like shit.

From what i've heard, none of you muricans have any sort of tile floors outside the kitchen, that sounds weird.

I do want a PVM to go along with this TV, though I don't want to overpay for the meme.

>>4771026
>I live in Brazil
I'm so sorry.

>>4771027

I am too, anon. I wanna get the fuck out of here so bad you wouldn't believe. Also, the prices for retro stuff over here are absurd, like everything else.

>>4771031
atleast you dont live in Argentina, i love and hate my country at the same time.

>>4771037

Kek, so you do share my pain of living in a shithole.

>>4771039
sadly, yes

>>4771026
>none of you muricans have any sort of tile floors outside the kitchen
Can vouch, bathrooms and kitchens.

>>4771026
I was going to guess Mexico or Central America based on the tiles, but the power outlet was wrong. Didn't know you use that kind in Brazil.
Yes, we don't generally use tiled surfaces outside of rooms with a sink. Basically, kitchens and bathrooms. This is an old pic now, but once when I posted it someone made a crack about the right side looking like a bathroom because of the tiles.

>>4771046
i love your battle station

>>4771046

Tiles aren't super common in Brazil anymore, on new houses and buildings, but it's still a thing.

Lol, is that a LaserActive? Neat.

>>4771056
It's just a regular laserdisc player sadly.

>>4771061

Yeah. It did look like a LaserActive at a quick glance, but it lacks the addon slots. I do want a good CRT to play my Dreamcast on. Also, SEGA in general was always huge in Brazil, from the MS to the DC.

>>4771053
Thanks, glad someone does. I'm always worried it is going to collapse in the middle of the night because it is just a bunch of boards jankily stacked on top of things, or kill me as I'm trying to reach something on the back of the computer while halfway climbing on top of the whole pile.

>>4770926
Thanks, don't know what I'm going to do with the other consoles though.

>>4770806
Serious potential. My only problem is the storage of your carts. I don't really like cats stored on top of other carts because it makes it tough to remove one when it's time to play. Get or build some shorter shelves or out them in a drawer and you have a super chill game room.

>>4770909

Thanks! I use the tate screen all the time. Basically just for PS2 shmups right now, but plan on using a Saturn on it too once I pick one up.

>>4766717
wat PVM is dat pham?

>>4770972
>>4766717
wat PVMs are these??

>>4766796
hey brandon.

>>4772034
They look like 20 inch M series monitors. The CDZ/AES guy’s a medical model based off the white color scheme, might be one of the few PVMs with two sets of RGB/YPbPr inputs depending on the model it is.

>>4770806
this is what i kinda wanted my battlestation to look like.
loving it. the two old tvs to the far left and far right (i know its a vectrex) look too cool.

>>4770683
im in desperate need for some of those n64 cart holders. i need exactly 3 to fit them all, but i also dont want to move my carts from where they are in my bookcase, aesthetic over convenience. and im fuckin dying over your EAT BACON DONT JOG book.

>>4768356
clean yo floors son. ditch the che al poster you bolshevik schweinhund. why isnt the maga hat on kirby? fuck it, poke a hole in his mouth and stuff in a blunt. idk. everything else is great, but the plastic containers jut out too far from the wall and is ruining the aesthetic value of everything, if not the che al poster...

>>4766405
you gotta tell me what that cool looking thing is on top of your ps2 collection.

>>4772862
and the games.

just had a house fire and had to take all this down and store it over a relative's place so it didnt get stolen. shitty. i miss my home already and i want to play resident evil.

Hello bandwagoner!

>>4772924
i got mine a year or two ago, they are quite worth it if you can get them for a sane price.

otherwise from the consumer front i have this 310

>>4772935
Hey, finally someone got bins!

>>4770806
what are these things I highlighted?

>>4773038
not him but the right thing is clearly a Vectrex.

other thing i'm not sure but looks like a 1970s to very early 1980s monitor, likely black and white.

>>4772938
i grab quart sized ziplock bags and put cables and a controller for each of the 3 consoles above each bin, i also use hair ties to secure the cables in a tight bundle withing leaving marks.

>>4773080
A Vectrex, on top the Vectrex is a Magnavox Odyssey 2 dust cover, a Texas Instruments calculator from the '70s lie on top of that, because I use it a little. The other object is a Hitachi 1979 color television used as a display set in a market at one point, it shows off all the features on the side, very clear and crisp picture, barely used.

>>4772034
The gray one I have is a 20m2u

>>4766381
Updated my desk monitor to something a bit bigger and with more TVL.

>Amazon basics mousepad
I take it you haven't heard of $1 mousepads? You should look into getting one and throwing a custom image on it to add a little more personality to your setup.

>>4773458
Is that a Pandora?

>>4773590
>I take it you haven't heard of $1 mousepads? You should look into getting one and throwing a custom image on it to add a little more personality to your setup.
I wasn't aware of those, no. I'll take a look into one of them, since the premise sounds intriguing.

>>4773647
It's an original GPD Win

>>4773458
>>4773726
Oh by the way, you post on /vr/ right? I think I've seen your station posted there before. Didn't you have the PVM sitting on the dreamcast? Glad you finally moved that, it was starting to hurt me inside.

>>4773828
This is /vr/ anon...

>>4774746
Oh wow... I could've sworn I was on /g/... How embarrassing.

Trinitron setups with rgb hookups on retro consoles (minus nes, n64)

>>4775002
If I could go back in time and stop one thing, it would be the development of that game. Sorry.

>>4773828
>Didn't you have the PVM sitting on the dreamcast? Glad you finally moved that, it was starting to hurt me inside.
I kept my prior desk CRT on the same laptop riser that my Mac currently is on, just oriented differently. I didn't think it was that bad for the DC when I did that at the time, or was there something aesthetically about the old setup that was off-putting?

The little breadbox is now sitting in a travel case. Haven't decided on what I'll do with it yet, though am probably not going to sell it off since it has some sentimental value to me as my first pvmeme.

>>4775250
How's the Famicom mini? I'm a FC fanboi so I've been eyeing one, but I don't know about the controllers.

>>4775351
The controllers are noticeably shrunken relative to the original, and I personally feel that the game lineup of the international version is a bit better since it has Kid Icarus, Startropics, and Punch-Out while the FC Mini doesn't.

If this was a year ago, I'd recommend FC Mini in a heartbeat over NES Mini if you really wanted one of the memeboxes since it wasn't been scalped as badly and comes with 2 controllers out of the box. But with the NES Mini re-entering print this June with a controller that can be detached and used with Wiimotes unlike FC Mini's, it's a bit harder to recommend as a pickup unless you either really strongly prefer the aesthetics or else having access to River City Ransom / FF3 in Japanese.

Be warned that if you're looking for actual accuracy, you're still better off just buying a flashcart and flogging real hardware. But as a little thing to tuck in a corner and screw around with, the FC Mini isn't bad, especially if hacked.

>>4775123
You are a brilliant man. I would have killed Wolfenstein 3D.

>>4775408
Have you seen the New gold “Jump” Famicom mini? Now that is a nasty lineup. Garbage games, every one of them.

>>4775418
>Now that is a nasty lineup. Garbage games, every one of them.
To be fair, Dragon Quest is decent at the very least. But yeah, it's hard to see any value in the Shonen Jump FC Mini beyond being eye candy on a shelf.

>>4775430
Oh! Forgot about Dragon Quest. Right, okay, but the rest of ‘em...

Nice rooms!

>>4775408
I have a whole bin of real Famicoms and games, and am EverDrive, I'm just a Famicom geek and it's really cute! I had an NES mini, but I ended up selling it for a profit since I didn't really like it all that much.
>>4775418
Hey now, Shenlong no Nazo and Kinnikuman are fun as hell kusoge.

>>4775002
>>4775006
What models are these and how are they?

>>4777102
Sony KV-29X5E and Sony KV-14LT1E if im correct. The small one with the flatscreen is probably the best consumer CRT I have yet seen in terms of picture quality. The huge one has of course the drawbacks in quality and geometry, which I managed to salvage pretty decently. It has great sound and the big screen allows great multiplayer action. Both have RGB scart inputs, 29" has also s-video in the front.

>>4771046

dude, i have to know what its called
i havent seen that in yeeeears

>>4771046
What's on the left screen?

I got a 36 inch crt and I need ideas for an entertainment system for it. Was thinking of getting them wood counter tops from IKEA and putting black pipe legs on it

>>4781527
The Legend of Dragoon

Just finished setting my new desk up. I'm not very good at decorating. I think I need some sort of shelf or riser, came barely fit the SNES on here and I've got other stuff I'd like to hook up

>>4782613
What 14 inch PVM is it that you have there? M series?

And what other consoles were you hoping to hook up? Since that would influence what sort of riser or spacer would suit your setup best.

>>4782665
Yeah, 14M2U. I'm looking to hook up a PS1 as well, and I've a Genesis I'm waiting on cables for

I wish I had more space. I plan to rearrange the room eventually so my entertainment center will have more verticality to it and then hopefully I'll be able to fit the 7 other consoles I want to get.

>>4772867
Sorry to hear that RE-anon. I lurk a lot of battlestation threads and you seem like a cool guy. Best of luck.

>>4782708
>putting that heavy ass ps3 ontop the ps4
I will never undestand doing that kind of thing.

>>4782849
>you seem like a cool guy
>guy
He is one of many

>>4783896
Give anon a break.

He's attempting to fit like 20 consoles into a space that would usually only support 3 or 4 at most.

>>4783932
>He's attempting to fit like 20 consoles into a space that would usually only support 3 or 4 at most.
and that's exactly why it's quite an unsightly setup. The giant switcher box on top of the PVM, the consoles that aren't even plugged in but sitting on the table anyway, the wii u gamepad and switch AND controllers also sitting in front of the TV, it's just a mess.

It's not done yet, but here it so far. The 2 big speakers in the middle are for retro, the 2 angled ones on top are surround for modern setup.
CRT is a Sony PVM-20L5 that has truly surprised me since it can do 480p output. The PS3 is used for PS2 because PS2 is ass and it can't do 480p on 85% of its library.

>>4784123
The only consoles not plugged in are the N64 because I just got it and the Wii. Where else would you have me put the Extron though? Under the PVM? Ideally I'd like to get a rack to mount it on but I have to rearrange my room first.

>>4784169
if it were me, I would lose the extron and use 3-4 consoles only with this setup. It depends what you care about though, if you absolutely want to cram all those consoles and have them ready to go I can see that being practical, but it's definitely not a good aesthetic choice.

>>4782613
You should definitely get a riser of some kind (or just make one out of scraps) for the PVM. The clean look is fine, you don't have to feel like you are bad at decorating because your space isn't stuffed with meaningless junk. Tenkeyless is pleb though.

>>4782708
How do so many posters on /vr/ have the PSX DVR? Does anyone use it as a DVR?

>>4784123
>the consoles that aren't even plugged in but sitting on the table anyway
Sometimes people just do that for the picture, so that we can see which consoles they have. They don't necessarily store them that way.

>>4784137
How tiny is this space that a picture of such a small area has to be fish-eyed like that? Looks like it's just your desk. Wouldn't you like to have enough room to play with a friend?

>>4784191
Yea not getting rid of the Extron. Unplugging and plugging in BNC cables is a pain in the ass, especially since I'd also have to pull the PVM away from the wall every time I'd want to switch consoles.

>>4770806
>vectrex
>woodgrain console tv
>the lizard
Best one in the thread

>>4784210
personally I don't mind having to manually switch consoles if it results in a cleaner looking set up, so I'll only hook up as many consoles as the space can comfortably accommodate. it makes me appreciate a few consoles at a time which can be nice too.

Every time I've tried that with a PC monitor, be it CRT or LCD, the text displayed differently and I didn't like it. I also ended up using only half one of my 16:9 monitor when it was in portrait, so I've left it in landscape after turning it that way for multi-monitor splitscreen with the bf.

>>4785505

Yep, it can cause colours to appear on the screen like the green here. It's pretty annoying and limiting if you live in a small apartment.

Search craigslist for an oak tv stand / oak television stand / oak entertainment center / oak tv hutch etc. I got one for $25 and it’s solid af. You’ll need a truck and possibly a friend to load it and haul it home. If you hate natural wood you can always paint it.

>>4766381
Mine as of now, needs a ton of work and a lot of dusting apparently.

Have a ton of stuff misplaced, or just unorganized right now. Still haven't completely unpacked after moving, despite being like a year later. Going to eventually buy two more tall shelves to go across the full wall.

Anyone remember me from /BST/?

Caught a bit of nostalgia after 4 years and wanted to try to get back into the retro scene/modding after finding all my leftover stuff from storage. Those ebay prices nowadays though...

I just started. No shelves, consoles or desks (anything I can use to create a setup). All I have in my possession so far is pic related.
