>The 50 Pro’s scaling of 240p material leaves a lot to be desired, but if you combine the unit with an OSSC, you create what is almost undoubtedly the best vintage upscaling solution for 240p games consoles and computers bar none.

https://www.videogameperfection.com/2016/05/25/iscan-vp50-pro/

So really it's only good for sources 480p+ unless you're also going to shell out for an OSSC.

Long term goal is a BVM-D32E1WU. Already paid a fuckton for a PVM-20L5.

every list I've seen seem to only ship within US. beside, even if i get one I don't exactly have many people to play with.

>>4827398
Probably a Sony GDM FW900.

I have some PVM/BVM and some consumer sets and some pc crts. Also I have a 92 inchDLP, Ultrawide 34 inch, 65 inch OLED, 140 inch 4k projector... Still want the FW900 back

I sold my FW900 5 years ago for $400 and still regret it. I only sold it as I thought using a PVM/BVM would be ok. Now after a short while late, a PVM/BVM is not ok and I want my FW900 back. A 21 inch Samsung/Sony CRT just isn't the same.

>>4827651
I still secretly hope to just stumble across one of these eventually

If I win the lotto I'm going to create an arcade with all the early 80s games I can fit in it. Won't be run for profit so it will exist as long as the money does. Unless people suck and force me to leave it privately in my house.

Any light gun or 4 player arcade cabinets. Mainly HotD and the Simpsons.

>>4827651
They're out there but I doubt the next listings that turn up on big sites will be for less than $1000

>>4827398
Whatever I could flip for the most profit. There are only a handful of truly rare/expensive things and none interest me me in any way except resale value.

>>4828821
The most recent ebay listing is $1300. lol

I love the retro hi-fi aesthetic, so the /vr/ dream for me would be:

>Sega SKC-1000 (full stack, not just console)
>Sega Laseractive
>Commodore CDTV or CDTV-CR
>Extron Crosspoint
>Famicom box
>Super famicombox

Obviously even just any one of these would be amazing though. Does anyone know if of any other retro consoles that come in a similar form factor? Because if so I'll have to add them to the list.

>>4828821
>>4829556
So if I can pick one up requiring G2 adjustment for less than $100 you reckon I should?

I have no need for it myself but could fix and flip it for mucho profit.

>>4827398
The first thing that came to mind was the R-360 arcade, but something closer that I have room for would be something closer to pic related. Those items are what I've desired for a long time, and no matter how much I save, I can never afford to get any of them. Having saved $1000USD for a good working 20" BVM, and still it is not enough to get one here, and that got wiped out by life, and I'm sure the next time I have something close, I still won't be able to have it, just like Keio and the Aiwa.


>>4827651
I am in the opposite case. I have two FW900s, but I so desperately want 20" or 24" BVMs. I would want to trade, but I've really overused the FW900s thatI can't in good conscience feel it would be fair.

One of these babies for my PSOne... why are they so expensive

The PSIO without a doubt. The PS1 is my favourite console by far so being able to load up all my games (including expensive JP games which I couldn't afford on disc) with far quicker load times, no worries about disc scratching/rot, and no need to worry about failing disc drives would be the dream to me.

>>4829773
is that even official ?

>>4829815
Yes

>>4827541
>PVM-20L5
This is my dream monitor. It has 480p comparability and expansion slots like a BVM, but still has S-Video inputs like a regular PVM.

Barring monitors, I'd want one of those Net Yaroze Playstations, if only for those awesome colors.

At least one candy cab. A Sega one would be ideal, but many of the Taito and Konami ones are cool too. And obviously plenty of different games (maybe a NAOMI and some older boards) and control panels to use on it.

>>4829828

Only the black one is an Yaroze, I've got one. The other two are debug consoles.

I'd love to have Snatcher for Sega CD, a toptier PVM and an MSX with both Metal Gear games.

>>4829760
I ve never seen that MegaCD version before. Does it play cassettes but not cartidges?

>>4829848
Seconding that. MSX2+ are some of the best-looking computers I've ever seen. I'd love to have Metal Gear and Snatcher on the MSX, but pic related is what I would personally want the most.

>>4829853
The cartridge slot is below the cassette deck.

I'd like to get my hands on a non-MAME DK cabinet if I could afford it and beat that faggot Mitchell's high score

>>4829737
>Sega SKC-1000

What is even this thing anyway?

>>4827398
Nothing out of the ordinary actually.
I just want 4 new original gamecube controllers to play with friends ;_; the generic ones broke so fast it made me mad.

>Tfw scalpers and taxes kill any chance of buying them.

>>4832263

A Sega Saturn Karaoke unit hybrid:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnbIU1gvw-I

and/or the code veronica one.
I can afford this but I can't justify spending $200 on a $30 system I already have.

It's a shame it's rare, particularly in good condition. I know better sticks exist, but the PS1 is my favourite console for fighting games and I think it looks beautiful and the reviews I've seen online don't disappoint.

>>4829808
>yfw im like number 5 on the supporters list but never bought one

>>4827398
>No firewire port.
*throws device in the trash*

>>4829874
Why do you want that game? I have it for pc88. Is it worth anything?

>>4827541

Hold me

Have you travelled here from 1998?

Greetings.

>>4829773
Where did you find a white one? I'm only seeing black controllers listed.

>>4827398
>would you love to get your hands on?

Either way, I just can't afford it

>>4827568
You'd be better off getting a Naomi candy cabinet.
Cheaper, lighter, better screen.

>>4827541
PVM-20L5s are actually attainable as long as you can pay for them. Pic related is my dream just because of how many hoops it would take to actually get one on this continent.

It's a PVM-2950QM rebadge with 4 S-Video/Composite lines and built in RGB21 port.

>>4827398
the super rare ps1 floppy to memory card adapter.

>>4830043
fucking this

>>4829760
I too would love a Keio Flying Squadron. I'd also add a US Magical Chase to that.
Monitor wise though I'd really want is an XM29 or XP29.

>>4830043
>>4836459
yep
I'd give my left pinkie toe for one

>>4836556
>XM29
I was actually looking at those today, and I came across this. Nothing short of heartbreaking when you realize how much they're going for now.

>>4836618
At what point did these types of monitors explode in popularity? Im sure they've long been well regarded in enthusiast communities.

>>4836708
To my knowledge, the Shmups forum was the first community to recognize the potential they had for playing video games. I think the price gouging started not long after this video got popular.

>>4827540
the vp50pro go for $1000+

if you can afford one you can afford an ossc

I'm modest, all I want is a GBA Player for the Gamecube, a Wavebird controller, and more GBA games.
I could even live without the Wavebird if there's some decent controller with a few extra feet of length.

>>4837346
Fuck the wavebird, it has pretty bad input lag. Look into the white gamecube controllers they released in Japan when Smash Bro. Brawl was coming out. Their cords are ridiculously long and feel more like the controllers that launched with the gamecube as opposed to the ones that were released with Smash for Wii U

>>4837346
The rereleased gamecube controllers that came out for smash 4 had 10 ft cables. I'd assume the new controller for smash ultimate will be the same case. Hopefully they'll manufacture enough to prevent price gouging

>>4835770
Those are usually pretty cheap at arcade auctions, because nobody wants to deal with moving them.
