Comfy.

>>5021482
With a setup and collection like that, why do you have the Classic systems?

>>5021505
I bought the NES Classic before it's re-release when it was considered tough to get and collectible. It's still in the box, and I'll probably leave it that way.

The SNES Classic is the only thing I have plugged into the main TV upstairs. It's modded with a hundred or so extra games and it gets used almost every day. My collection isn't crazy, and I'm missing almost anything that's worth big bucks, so it's great to have another way to play SNES games that I'm probably never attain due to high prices.

>>5021482
>Entertaining the idea of scrapping this huge entertainment unit and building a custom one
I don't see why you would. Everything you have fits incredibly well already. Perhaps you can change the "internal" configuration with more or different sized shelves. You could build small supports to lift the TV up, and you could possibly have room for the Xbox & wii under the TV.
You could also make a shelf in the area above the tv where there are stacks oc cd & genesis games.

Is it real wood? If so it would be pretty simple to take out side and use a stripper on and you could restain to match the darker tones of your floor. You could stain or paint it near black to blend it with the shelf to the side as well.

Lose the end table with the speaker, and build a shelf on the wall, shimmy the wall on either side for the speakers.

Just my opinion. You also could do nothing, and it would continue to be awesome! Nice collection btw. Play lots of games with the kids when you can. Mine and I are doing Super Mario world snes, and its a blast. They remember and cherish that shit, even if you hate the game.

Our family's only tv is pic related. I keep all my discs/carts & other stuff in storage totes. Systems run from flash memory when possible. The modded wii with emulation allowed me to be a casual scrub and store my snes with my sister in law for her kids, my nes with my brother because, and my n64 with my sister. My kids play the shit out of the wii still. Id love to have a nice stereo system, but part of my deal is that we are renovating room by room, and I don't know what the final thing will be. I would like my "stuff" built into a wall somehow. I am very much a fan of corner stations especially with CRT tvs. If you have the right corner you can really go big and not really lose much room. If I make 2 side shelves for this with 45 degree angles, the whole unit would fit great and look very pro.

>>5021609
>shimmy the wall on either side for the speakers.
Shimmy the entertainment center to the side for the speakers. This is an official edit.

>>5021609
Thanks for the great suggestions. It's not real wood unfortunately, and I'd really like to build something that's custom size for only the consoles and TV. I'll get a dedicated shelf for the collection of games and move it off to the side. I think it will make for a much neater looking collection, while getting all the consoles into a tighter area for controller cord length reasons.

I really love playing games with my kid, and we're into SMW too! It's mostly just me finishing levels all while maintaining enough extra lives to keep us both afloat. He is getting better though, and he occasionally finishes a level.

I saw earlier in a different thread about someone's kid asking them what was wrong with the graphics when shown an older game. I think that's really sad. My kid started off on SMB, and has since tried way too many old games to list. He especially likes the Sonic games because he's able to finish levels pretty consistently. Not bad for a 3 year old! He also likes racing games of all sorts, and he's getting the hang of steering around the track fairly well. I'm excited for what the future of gaming with him will bring.

Another reason for wanting to build something is because I'm out of console room, and I still want to buy 3-4 more.

PC Engine, Saturn, Dreamcast, and probably a PS1.

>>5021659
>It's not real wood unfortunately
Oh ya, then I would trash it. I would also try to find a spot on shelves for speakers...if you are doing a custom job. Might as well make that whole wall into usable "storage/display" shelves. Perhaps consider in your build that you may find a larger TV, and you could fill the area in with temp shelves. Just thoughts.

>>5021659
>I saw earlier in a different thread about someone's kid asking them what was wrong with the graphics when shown an older game.

My kids have access to games from the NES through the Wii-u & PC. Most of the games they play are Snes & N64. I somewhat keep them away from garbage shovelware, and they have good tastes in games.
I think if you keep them busy with with you have, they will always enjoy it. I have always had a pile of "retro" systems plugged in....back when my kids were little (over 15 years ago) retro gaming wasn't a thing that I was aware of. The modded wii reallly allowed me to box up a whole pile of things...half of which weren't even plugged in. 10 years later, my buddy who moved 900 miles away is mailing back my Sega + 32x. I almost can't wait, but its going right back into a box lol. I offered him a PSX in trade, but he declined.

>>5021714
>Oh ya, then I would trash it. I would also try to find a spot on shelves for speakers...if you are doing a custom job. Might as well make that whole wall into usable "storage/display" shelves.

Yeah that's probably worth integrating. I got bored at work and created a pixeled to-scale mock-up of the setup with excel.. Yeah, really bored.

I recently picked up the official Sony stand for TV, so that's also a main catalyst for this change.

>>5021748
>putting the fragile disc-based systems on the higher shelves

>>5021748
>I recently picked up the official Sony stand for TV, so that's also a main catalyst for this change.
I am picking up what you are putting down now. That is a great idea to redo. Battlestation threads are great ways to see how others may have their mess or lack of on display.

This is an old BS of mine

>>5021796
Wow, nice collection! Glad to see the love for Alex Kidd in there.

>>5021482
FV320?

Posting slight upgrades. New amplifier and a better stand. Waiting for an equalizer and a riser to give the monitor a bit more height.

I'm more jelly about the Yamaha monitors

Shoutouts to exton switcher tho

>>5021895
>I like the look of those Samsung TVs.. How is the picture?
It is outstanding, and crisp. I never fiddled with any service menus or anything. This goofball 20" model is SD only, but has component, composite and Svideo. It is straight up baller for wii & xbox component video. I couldn't be any happier.

Its getting setup in the family room this week with an incoming wii. It will be a family room setup because I don't really care for my in-law's kids screwing with my family's systems. They are lacking in manners....I am willing to give it a try for laughs, but I envision a broken wiimote.

Here's my college setup, I decided to isolate myself with just my saturn this year so I don't have to worry about my backlog, playing through the shining force III scenarios right now

Looks cozy

Moving out of my mom's house in Kansas to an apartment in the middle of nowhere Wyoming in about a month for work. Pretty excited, hopefully I'll have more room.

>>5022303
Thanks anon, yours looks super cozy as well. Really liking your cassette drawers under your monitor. Hoping you're able to make good use of the extra space you'll be having soon, best of luck.

>>5021905
FS320, yeah. I wish it was an FV310, but it's still pretty great.

>>5021912
Oh man I love the look of that Sony Amp. What model is it?

I like keeping all my stuff together, mostly.

>>5022242
Rocking the Model M and a CRT monitor for the PC. I can respect that.

>>5022303
Did you mod your snes jr for s-video/rgb?

>>5022343
I should but I can't into soldering

>>5022303

love the setup.

why tho

>>5021525
>has all that shit
>still plays snes on emulator box like a damn casual

>>5022249
Nope, my paychecks did, though.

I went overboard with hardware but have little physical space. My games are mostly in boxes for the time being. I do live on my own tho, so I don't really mind. Have no date to leave this apartment, but it's definitely not a mainstay, I'll bother with a battlestation room once I move.

>>5022752

I realized this picture looks like shit, so here's a better one.

>>5021784
How can you see the screen with the coffee table there? You should really get a stand so the TV isn't sitting on the floor.

>>5022319
TA-F6B. It's one of the nicest consumer amps Sony ever made. I wouldn't hunt one down unless you're serious about audio quality, they usually cost multiple hundreds of dollars.

If you just want something that has lamp-lit wattage meters, Kenwood, Technics and Akai make some cheaper stuff with a similar aesthetic.

Vertical shot for a reason.

>>5023086
Oh c'mon, I even doublechecked whether it would rotate.

>>5023090

>>5023091
Simple, clean, I like it. Though I'm not a big fan of displaying games/consoles, this one at least keeps it focused and sober.

I want to see more setups like this. In-shelf setups are always interesting. Lel at period-accurate VHS-integration.

want

>>5021482
Gee.. I wonder who pushed those cones in...

>>5023350
Jesus, I can hear the wood creaking just looking at this.

>>5022316
That's still a really good model? How's the geometry? I had a 24" 300 and it was beyond repair. I got rid of it but it sucked because everything else about it was great. I have 13" and 27" 100 models which have better geometry but worse picture than the 300. This hobby is about trade-offs, I suppose.

>>5022752
>I went overboard with hardware but have little physical space.
I am limited myself. I have a PSX, and am contemplating moving down to the smaller PSOne just so I can get it in....but I don't know if it would fit or not.

If I can ask..ANYONE. How wide at its widest is a PSOne?

>>5023586
>am contemplating moving down to the smaller PSOne just so I can get it in
I just measured my space. I have at most 7-1/2" wide absolute max beside my N64 for a system.

>>5021482
It’ll look more complete once I get around to evicting the 4K twins to the top for more /vr/ on the bottom shelf, but waiting until my SCART switch arrives so I can redo my mess of cables all in one go.

more pics?

>>5023384
Surprisingly not my kid, he's been good about that. They were like that when I got them from a friend a few years back. I'll probably get around to trying the vacuum trick to fix them, but I'm afraid of ruining them.

>>5023556
The picture is fantastic, but the geometry is typical for these sets.. A little upwards at the bottom middle. Nothing too major though.

>>5023586
38mm × 193mm × 144mm

So, 193mm.

>>5023746

Do you have 6 Nintendo switch controllers?

>>5023746

double green joycon! i did the same.

I would love to have a ~12 drawer unit, with the controller plugs and on/off/reset buttons built into the front of the drawer. Heat dissipation would be an issue, but I'm just spitballing ideas at the moment.

anyone help me out?

i have a really shitty cramped battlestation with only two consoles out of four hooked up and a PC. any tips or guides on making my battlestation better? cant post pics

>>5024263
Needs pics in order for anyone to be able to have any ideas for advice

>>5023975
>193mm
7.59 inches....Hmmmm. I need 7-1/2, but tomorrow I may re-measure. The front part of the N64 it would sit beside is wider then the rear, and it may just work if I set the system back less than an inch.

>Console Wars

Nice window into the world of what made SEGA such an immediate threat to nintendo after the NES with the release of the Mega Drive. But that book is chalk full cheesy/corny dialogue that really hinders the reading experience.

Now Masters of Doom, as long as you omit the last 2 chapters, that book is 11/10.

>>5024907
Thought the exact same about Console Wars. It was painful to get through at some points, but it was nice to have all the stories accounted for in a single text. Supposedly they're making it into a movie, I can't imagine it being quite as awful.

>>5021482
You have zero taste or class, and your kid is a little spic faggot

>>5024907
Haven't had the inclination to read through it yet, but as a Master System kid, I'm sure it'll be bearable.

It has flaws but if you're interested in old games at all, it's a pretty enjoyable read.

Very sad.

>>5025539
Ebay. I had them as a kid but threw the boxes away. I'm usually not big into toys and merch, but I loved these toys as a kid so I figured I'd get the boxes to go along with them.

Night mode. That light isn't nearly as bright as the pic made it. I just got these shelves so I still have to get all my consoles hooked up, and add a few shelves to them. Also Joust poster will be re-hung. Rounded end shelves will probably have something sufficiently autistic on them but I'm not sure what yet.

Day mode. Again, just got the stuff so most stuff isn't hooked up and in a general state of mess.

Couch gets all screens decently. Picture angle is weird to get it all in. I usually move that chair on the far right up to whatever screen I'm playing for serious gaming. The woodgrain tv and clear one aren't hooked up at the moment so I'm not watching them. Gotta find a place for them.

Looking good. That stand to the right is perfect for genesis and looks like it has good spacing overall.

>>5026809
I have no idea how, but I honestly never noticed it.

>>5027101

Thanks! I only added the shelf to the right because the Genesis wouldn’t fit in the other one. I like the idea of it doubling for controller storage now. Gotta fill it up some more though.

I also need to REALLY manage those cords

>>5027117
>I also need to REALLY manage those cords
Alternately you could keep the snake pit and cover the back of your shelf with black cloth or paper.

>>5027126

Have also considered that given how this setup works. May go that route.

I just moved in this past Friday, having a blast figuring out how I want to set stuff up. Nothing is plugged in yet cept for Saturn breaks. Any suggestions are welcome

I didn't get to link my post properly but I said last time your pic reminded me so much of the 90s. Putting cool artifacts on tvs or shelves is such a human touch that we've forgotten in efffect of minimalism. The wooden shelf for the tv is also a nice touch.

>>5033174

there we go finally an aesthetic anon

Humblestation here, I downsized from moving recently and got rid of my good TV. Tough break but I'm still having fun, and I'm far from a lack of games to play. I'm just doing the basic now since I don't really care much atm if it looks sloppy. The LED amp to the side is for playing non-backlit portables, it works very well for illuminating screens. It also has a USB port on it which I can use to recharge my WS battery.

>>5033340
can't go wrong with a large curved crt

>>5033174
Holy shit, your controller's as big as your tv screen!

>>5033236
no kidding, i was just scrolling through the thread lamenting that the guy with the minimalist wii setup hadn't posted -- only because his setup is nice to look at and not a cluttered, sickly nostalgic mess.

>>5033430
the geometry is weird and shitty, that's my only complaint. Like, it's curved, but only on the left and right, and it behaves pretty strangely. I'm hoping to someday replace it with another TV, but for now I'm happy with it especially since it has component and s-video.

Also I should say I'm probably one of the few that enjoys playing games while sitting on the floor. Was always a floor gamer, couches are for movies IMO

A small pc would be far better to a wii. Wii is pretty meh when it comes down to it.

>>5036368
>A small pc would be far better to a wii
Stop being a contrarian just for the sake of it. To connect a small pc to a TV like that you'd need a video converter, or a video card that outputs a supported signal, as well as finding the right drivers and finally setting up some sort of front end if you don't want to be stuck using the mouse and keyboard when booting up. Wii is far better for a simple, elegant, hassle-free set up/

Bored @ work so I’m going to comment on each pic ITT

>>5021482
This really reminds me of the 90s and early 2000s. Each house I moved into throughout the years had giant entertainment centers like this one. Setup is looking good! Space is managed very well.

>>5021609
I love how compact this is and the TV is sick. The color really pops with the brown.

>>5021780
Digging it. I like the glass. Nice and small.

>>5021784
One of my favorites ITT, but clean up those cords my man! I love the couch placement. It’d be cool if you had a small CRT set up on the side of the entertainment center so you could see from the couch

>>5021912
Except for the bin to the right, this is really clean and efficient

>>5022242
Minimal and comfy. Respect for the single console choice. And nice hat.

>>5022282
>>5022285
Cord management! Otherwise nice setup. I like the Saturn station a lot. Really like the Christmas lights behind it.

>>5022303
Perhaps better organize those games on top of the TV but I dig the console setup regardless. Good luck on the move.

>>5022324
I’m not sure how there aren’t more visible cords here. Nicely done. I like having a “central” area too.

>>5022757
Fix your cables! Other than that, nice and simple.

>>5023091
Efficient. I love minimal stuff. Also love the size of that CRT.

>>5023746
I like having all those consoles in one spot behind closed doors. Very secure and central.

>>5025909

Something about this makes the cords work, I dunno. I think another anon saying the window is a nice touch is it.

>>5033174
Another great minimalist setup. Very clean and astheic

>>5033340
Ain’t a thing wrong with your humble station pal.

>>5034471
Love the small desktop setup aesthetic

>>5034634
Love how clean it is, but it’s almost too clean.

>>5037535
Lighting and organization is c o m f y

>>5037628
Teach me

>>5038228
I love corner stations. The sprawling shelves add to this one in particular for some reason.

>>5038619
Corners 4 life

>>5039249
The tight spaces here is very warm. I want lamp light and a blanket at this place

>>5038228
Did you really need 8 game boys?

>>5039623
Slowly getting a little collection together.

>>5037535
Oh, are you that guy from reddit? Any more pics? Would love to see some more stuff on these two.

>>5039656

nah I just stole it from le-reddit sorry

>>5039623

This is perhaps the most aesthetic post ITT. I prefer more “fun” displays but I’m going to try this eventually and see how I like it. Lookin CLEAN my man

>>5039910
Thanks! I can't really get comfy if there's alot of clutter around.

I finally managed to find a TV stand that I liked.

>>5021482
No love for Playstation?
Heres the best pic I could snap and my small collection, I honestly love these systems and I have many memories with them.

>>5041461
I just came a little. Nice setup. I particularly like the AV cabinet.

>>5021482
Do secondary stations with memeboxes count, or too tangential?

>>5038619
Yo that's really comfy. nice ps1 collection too, got any close ups of that?

>>5042145
Here you go. Still have about a dozen more titles to get for it but I'm happy with the collection so far.

>>5042242
very solid collection, jealous.
just starting my ps1 collecting recently.

Just posted this in the /v/ battlestation thread but it's more appropriate here. On the right are my prized S-Video switchers labeled with:

N64 Roku (using component cables for 4:3 streaming) PS2
SNES Wii U Gamecube More^ (Switch to the top switcher)

>>5042356

I'm retarded, forgot image.

>>5042352
my whole ps1 collection is all relatively cheap games. xenogears is probably the most valuable and my roommate gave that to me out of his old games. you'll have fun collecting for it because there aren't too many things that are outlandishly expensive. I got lucky and got some of my ps1 games for $1 each at estate sales too.

>>5042357

I love how small and humble your collection is. Makes me want to sell all my shit really. Something about corner TVs was always comfy with me too. Nice setup.

>>5042357
>dat George
Holy shit, I remember those figures, I had the whole set. I was HUGE into the Beatles and Yellow Submarine back around 1999. Pretty sure they're still in a box at my parents' house, I kinda wanna go find 'em now.

>>5030615
Very nice pic but personally the reflection would drive me crazy.

>>5042939

Ya man, that's my George. A friend got him for me (came with the Blue Meanie next to the TV) randomly and I've treasured them ever since

>>5042839
Thanks, my collection is basically just "games I had as a kid" and Everdrives. It's not obvious from the picture but the silver Gamecube has a Xeno Chip and a Game Boy Player attached. I use my GBA Everdrive in there. The disc is just a burned Game Boy Interface image. Feels good man

>>5041461
PVM-2530 on a Profeel stand?

I would probably be fonder of it if the audio racks were the same height, but it still looks very nice.

>>5027701
Hey anon, can you take a close up photo of your weeb stuff? Absolutely based.

>>5027701

Are you Japanese or an ameriburger? Japan seems interesting to live, until you remember how little room people have. That would drive me insane, and I'm a pretty recluse person.

>>5045671
It's not a ProFeel stand, but a Erard one that is probably period-correct.
As for the racks, if I find another Pioneer one (the right one is a Thomson), I'll swap it out to make it more uniform

>>5046013
Same. Please post Anon.

>>5027701
>nothing but Nintendo
Pleb.

>>5021482
Half retro, I guess. I use them to play older games too.

Nearing its final form. Apologies for the shit lighting, but I have my setup in a dark corner on purpose. Was thinking about getting some floor/tower speakers, but since adding an equalizer, I get a LOT of punch out of these little bookshelf units. If you're not scared/triggered by audiofagging, an equalizer is a neat addition, it's really fun playing with all the levels and hearing how it clearly changes the balance of the different frequencies, especially on 8 and 16 bit systems.

>retro.jpg
>literally not a single "retro" thing
Nice hat, though.

No pics, but I have a bunch of 240p/480i consoles hooked up in front of a 20 inch PVM. The main issue I'm having is how to set up a proper sound system for everything. Most of the consoles that run through my RGB SCART setup are fine because I have the audio pass through the PVM and into a separate speaker system. But the problem is I have consoles like N64/Gamecube that are plugged in via component and S-video, and then there's the genesis where the sound is pulled separately from the audio jack. What this means is that a lot of the time when I want to play different consoles, I need to get behind the TV and manually switch around audio cables. It's a real pain in the ass, and I wish I had a more elegant solution to my issue

>>5048780
Looks pretty good, but the lighting is total shit. Apologize again for it!!

>>5049046
Sorry, senpai! Lighting is bad for pictures, but comfy as fuck for actually playing games. There's a light in the room at the other end, but the area with the games is basically just lit by the lava lamp and a small sconce with a 25 watt bulb. I'll just have to take a better picture when there's daylight.

>>5048918
What kind of jack are you using to go to your speaker system? You can get adapters to turn pretty much everything into RCA. No need for anything to go through the PVM. What's your speaker setup like? Are you using a dedicated audio receiver/amplifier?

>>5049160
PC speakers that use a headphone jack. The reason I have stuff running through the PVM is because it acts as a female-to-female connector for the various RCA cables, since I'm short on those. But the main issue is easily switching between different consoles for sound. I need something like an amp that can take in various RCA sound feeds and switch between them

>>5021482
You know those modular wire rack shelving units they use in kitchens?
I got me one of them with wheels on it.
Got 5 shelves, space for a 20" PVM, and is 100% self-contained. You plug in one power cord and the entire tower is ready to go.

I'm able to fit Sega/CD/32X, NES top loader, SNES, N64, Neo Geo CD, PC Engine with CD, Dreamcast, PS1, and Sega Saturn on the bottom 3 shelves.
4th shelf is the 20" PVM, my Scart switch, and two mini shelves to the side that are only on the two side posts.
The PVM is on a large 1/4" thick poly cutting board that was cut with a band saw to snugly fit into the indent on the shelf rack.
All the power cords are zip-tied to the rear frame with heavy-duty surge protectors that can be used to switch everything off when not in use.

Mini shelf fits my gamecube with GB Player, and a Dell Optiplex i7 SFF PC for emulation/recording.
Top shelf is for the sound bar, and a dust cover that I can unroll over the whole thing for long-term storage in the closet.

>>5022303
you're not moving to casper are you? I just accepted an offer to move there and be a machinist

>>5049274
all these words words words
and no pic
what a shame

>>5047532
Name of SFC game?

>>5049585
Kōryū no Mimi

>>5049247
so... a 3.5mm selector switch?

>>5049627
My bad anon I misread. You should be able to get an RCA one too though.

>>5029041
So no one is allowed to talk about retro games in case that gets people interested in them and the prices become too expensive for your bitch ass? Go suck a cock.

What do you guys use for program/video selectors?

>>5049247
buy one of those pelican switches and just only use it for audio

>>5050135
yes

>>5029019
Fun as in watching a train wreck? I can kinda see it

>>5049274
I appreciate the suggestion, but I really dislike those wire shelves.

>>5046014
As long as you're willing to live/work in a smaller town space isn't an issue. When my wife worked over there she had a decent sized two-room apartment with dining area and kitchen. They weren't full-sized appliances but they'd be more than adequate for a family of three, easy. The cramped spaces were the bathroom and toilet, but that's pretty typical of homes there in general

Wish I had a better spot for this shit

Jesus, is everyone on welfare?

>>5049274
Can I see this thing? Even a pic of one thats not yours. I'm trying to figure out how to go about my changing my setup.

>>5051825
Yo love the IBM PC and matching monitor! And you've got one of the coolest trinitrons too, nice setup

I think everyone has that middle class suburban setup. Maybe its just the demographic for /vr/
