This one is good.

I moved everything in the living room to free up some space in the bedroom since I took this pic.

>>5157223

>>5157226
Cringe.

>>5157228
I'm still trying to figure out how to rearrange everything so it looks nice!
It does for now, and it's not that bad...

>>5157181
Just lost my battle station in the paradise camp fire. Im not even going to try and recollect all the saturn games i just lost. I guess i am a new emulation fag. Whats the best saturn emulator?

>>5157236
different guy here, but I imagine the other guy was cringing at your "brethren before wenches" printout on the wall.

I also have an NES but it needs a good cleaning

>>5157242
It amused me when I first saw it and was really into dark souls.
And I was thinking he probably referred to the Samus mousepad.

Don't have room for a crt and I enjoy my modern games too. Is using a crt filter on my emulators good enough?

>>5157242
Will check it out, thanks

Approaching its final form. Just need to figure out something for that big box of Sega games and miscellaneous hardware. Recently got a Sony editing VCR for ten bucks and nabbed all my old tapes from my parents. The picture is way nicer than most people would have you remember VHS for. The problem is that most people's final memories of standard definition media were seen through the awful processing and upscaling on early LCD/plasma screens.

>>5157386
>...does it make any difference?
>Serious question.
Ignore the memers. Putting characters in the back row makes them less likely to be targeted, but it also halves their damage output, UNLESS the character has a long-range weapon, like Barrett.

>>5157608
>UNLESS the character has a long-range weapon, like Barrett.
Well shit that's good to know, playing the game blind has it's drawbacks it seems.

Also miring your battle station, dude.

>>5157613
There are three characters wuth long range weapons. Barret, yufi and vincent. There is also a long range materia that gives the long range ability to a character that doednt have a long range weapon.

>>5157226
Cringe.

>>5157613
Thanks. It's been a slow build over the last several years. Most expensive thing was the big audio amp.

I just got done playing FFVII a couple of months ago. Pressing select on the battle screen brings up a little description menu for abilities, items and targets, and if you ever get caught in a back-attack, tap the shoulder button to start running away, but release it. Your dudes will turn around so they won't take double damage from enemy attacks. And if multiple characters are ready for their turn at the same time, you can press triangle to pick who you want to go next. Oh, and you can use L and R while running to go diagonally.

>>5157581
Fuck no.

>>5157630
Oh, and you can transfer materia directly between characters, even those not in your party, by moving the cursor to "arrange" and pressing confirm. It'll give you the option to "exchange" materia. Super helpful if you didn't read the instruction manual.

>>5157623
>>5157630
>>5157674
I should re-read the game manual.
Thanks for the helpful tips.

>>5157181
Go ahead and guess what’s been on my mind lately

>>5157769
Is that a bvm or a pvm-2030?

>>5157771
PVM-2530, actually

>>5157490
Woah!

>>5157769
Nice. That's a great looking set, anon. Do the pvm-XX30 sets have built in amps?

>>5157783
They do, yeah, meant for 8-ohm passive speakers. I haven’t gotten around to hooking some up some to mine since I’ve been planning out how to rearrange the setup in the near-ish future

>>5157226
I like it. What size monitor is that? I've got a 20-inch for my main setup, but I've always wanted to have a small monitor on my computer desk with just an NES or something.

>>5157371
I will never understand "battlestations" like this. Looks so inconvenient. Looks like someone just wants to be able to say they own CRTs.

>>5157241
i am truly sorry for your lots

>>5157260
based and libertypilled

>>5157181
OP has best battlestation TBQH

>>5157371
>>5157226
Why would you guys use such hilariously tiny CRT screens? I have never seen such tiny screens outside of a spare-bedroom b+w crt in my aunts house in 1989.

>>5158204
They fell hard for the pvmeme

>>5158215
I mean i get it, screen quality matters and i understand some people find PVM screens nicer to look at, but surely it's plainly obvious - as it has been to every consumer buying a screen for the last 65 years - that BIGGER IS BETTER. Why the fuck would someone be so deluded as to use a 12" screen just because the colors are slightly better? Absolute madness.

>>5157790
So, how does that work? Does the sound signal go into the monitor through the db25 input then out through a separate audio output?

>>5158220
I think everyone would agree with you that bigger is better, which is why larger broadcast monitors are more sought after than smaller ones. But in looking for larger ones, you sometimes run into smaller ones that are cheap enough to warrant a purchase. I'd buy a 13" for $20. I think picking up any TV bigger than 25" is a pretty big commitment. Even if free, it'll be taking up a decent amount of space and require moderate effort to move around. Broadcast monitors are also much more likely to have the more high end input connections people want.

>>5158228
DB25 can carry audio over its pinout. What you’re *supposed* to do from that point is use speaker wire from there to connect to the PVM’s internal amp to output audio via passive speakers.

Since I haven’t gotten around to doing that yet, I’m presently bypassing the 2530 entirely for audio and outputting to a set of external speakers via 3.5mm wire. I’m planning on using it as intended with the internal amp after the rearrangement

>>5158276
Neat

>>5158220
>Why the fuck would someone be so deluded as to use a 12" screen just because the colors are slightly better? Absolute madness.
The issue is, at such a small size, the increased quality of the image is highly debatable, especially when, at this point in time, image quality is more dependent on the condition of the monitor and how much abuse it has seen over the years. Of course, a lot of people just caught wind of the PVM craze and didn't really do any research beyond that, and don't really understand the nuances of analog video displays. The 20" ones have been prohibitively expensive for many years at this point, so a lot of people just settled for the cheaper, smaller ones.

>>5158241
>But in looking for larger ones, you sometimes run into smaller ones that are cheap enough to warrant a purchase
Yeah, but I've noticed even those prices are going up. 13 inch monitors are going for what a 20" used to cost, and people are starting to get triple digits for 8-inchers which is just absurd.
>I think picking up any TV bigger than 25" is a pretty big commitment.
This. I've used CRTs my whole life. Around 2009 I picked up a couple of 32 and 36 inch CRTs that were gorgeous and fun to play on, but just too goddamn big and heavy. I'd say 27" is as big as I would go now, especially as a secondary gaming display, because you can sit as close as you want and size is relative.

>>5158190
Its a 14n5u if I remember right(I'm not home rn)
It's 14 inch. Only has composite and s-video but imo it's more than enough.
I won mine at an eBay auction for 25€.
Loving it so far.

>>5158204
Its a great CRT for my desk anon.

>>5158462
Nice game boy, anon.

>>5158404
I just checked it's 14N5E.
I'm considering reselling it and move everything retro related to one place.
And no I won't ask an absurd price for it.
I'll put it up for 30 and after haggling I'll get 20 for it maybe.

>>5157489

Whats with the oddly positioned couch? Does it actually get any use?

>>5157608
>>5157613
Less damage also means the limit bar will take longer to fill. I have Barrett in the front row for that reason.

>>5161542
Now I'm itching to play it again and I'm on vacation.
And yeah I wouldn't trade the limits for less dmg.
They are a God send

>>5157491
if this pic was not in a battlestation thread I would have sworn this pic was taken in the late 90s early 00s

>>5161542
>>5161581
The game isn't really hard enough for using rows or limit breaks to even make a difference.

Just moved into my first house
My retro room is work in progress but it's starting to get comfy.
Been collecting since before it was a 'thing' so most this was dirt cheap.

>>5157196
>psx turned sideways and jammed between TV's

>>5162227
The laser going out. I have a replacement but figured I'd get as much out of it as possible before replacing it. It conveniently got there, there's a ps2 behind it.

>>5161505

It's all about phonetics. Remember that written forms are just a faulty tool to try and record speech.

I don't do so for difficulty, but in order to learn all limit techniques quicker.

>>5162210
>Jaguar
For what purpose? Also is that grey console just under your flatscreen a 3DO?

>>5157359
Exactly same tought. Maybe he had the non-long range weap in 'hand', Atomic Scissors.

>>5157386
If you had someone with a long range weapon (Barret), you could put him in the back row, to get half the dmg received, and still output the same amount of dmg.

>>5162441
No It's a Philips CDi I was given by local game shop. Ended up buying the shitty mario for it for the shits and giggles.i have a 3do though, not set up cause no games I don't have otherwise

>>5162530
This might be my favorite pvm model. I don't know anything about the specs, but aesthetically it's the coolest. I assume it was used for medical purposes.

>>5162530
I also have one of those monitors.

Truly belongs in the toilet, horrible meme piece of shit.

This was my old setup

>>5162735
What's the monitor?

>>5162904

Samsung 55" 4k 6290

Considering upgrading to an OLED display by another brand, though

>>5157194
What CRT is that friend?

>>5162904

PVM-2030. Was a local pickup, which was nice.

>>5162943
Nice, I've got the same model but haven't set it up yet.

How do you like it?

>>5162979

Its great, once set up. It needs a special dongle for RGB, though.

It seems to have a built-in amp as well, hence the speaker wire connections.

My only complaint is its not as robust as other models for image settings and callibration. The buttons on the front is pretty much what you got.

>>5162732
Nice collection, but vertically stacked games are aids.. Such a pain to pull a game out to play it.

Looks cluttered as fuck.

>>5162989
I think there should be more adjustment potentiometers under the enclosure, but am not sure. What did you do about the db25 connector?

>>5162661
Yes I do, here it is safely tucked away in storage.

>>5161773
same for me senpai. Getting nostalgic for those times now.

>>5163110
whoa, neat microwave

i enjoy seeing these battle stations but i would never have one just imagining all the dust and care for each piece of it

Not the other guy but 100% you're pronouncing "NES" like a fucking hillbilly if you arent saying the "N" enough to warrant "a" over "an". Are you a hillbilly, anon?

Anyway really nice settup!

>>5163050

I use this guy here. The csync version specifically.

I always get my cables with csync built in, so its not necessary, but I reccomended it just to be future proof.

Though, shipping took a while, since Im a burger. Customer seevice on twitter is phenomenal.

The audio breakouts can be connected straight to a reciever too, which saves you money on an extra breakout dongle.

. Has a keyboard mount with 2 regular USB ports and can use all kinds of pc accessories like wired controllers and mice
. Supports Bluetooth controllers
. Is also a small windows laptop

I love this thing.

>>5163623
Funny story, I recently played all the way through FF7 on a beat-up PS1 and never had a problem. Then one weekend my friend and I tried to marathon it on the PS4 version, and it froze as we were getting into the elevator on Shinra tower and we lost an hour of progress.

>>5163542
Doesn't the audio signal go through the scart, into through the db25, then back out through the speaker wire terminals?

>>5164482

Yep, but those terminals suck, so I just wire it straight to a stereo reciever.

>>5162553
>>5163110
What makes it so bad? Was actually on the market for one of these

>>5165462
It's probably just old, meaning low tvl(350?) and no OSD. That's just speculation, though ; I don't know the model number.

Is there anything I can do to reverse phosphor decay? I play a lot of 5th and 6th gen horror games and seeing artifacts everytime I'm in a dark setting is really disorienting.

>>5163110
>stored next to a speaker magnet

>>5165462
>>5165481
Mine is the KX-14CP1 so has SCART but it is extremely picky with sync. As speculated it has no OSD which isn't a problem with my Profeels but this thing has no way to adjust the horizontal centering at all so if it's off that's your lot.

It also feels extremely cheap and flimsy, in no way correspondent with the prices being asked for them.

>>5165495
I'll just degauss it with my heavy duty wand when I find a sucker willing to buy it. That's a 5" speaker with a tiny magnet in a shielded enclosure though so I doubt it'll even be necessary.

>>5165481
>>5165513
Thank you guys, this is very good information. Are there any other monitors that have a similar look that you recommend? Really digging the aesthetic of this, which is the main reason I was eyeballing it

>>5162732
>>5162735
Yeesh, what an eyesore.

>>5165546
The PVM models of the 80s have a copy style, but again, they have relatively low tvl counts. The 1910 is pretty cool but has a tvl count of 350. The 2030 is also pretty sweet and has a tvl of 560, but is typically priced pretty high.
The PVM/BVM, JVC, and Ikegami monitors of the late 90s onward all tend to have a similar industrial look to them. Pic related lated, it's a 1910.

>I'd say 27" is as big as I would go now
My brother has a 36" sony, and though it looks good, it is a beast. I stuck with a 27" console.
>>5158320
>The 20" ones have been prohibitively expensive for many years at this point
I never pay more than $30 for a CRT, and have "upgraded" about once a year for the last 5 years. I am at the point where I can't see too much more for me that I would enjoy. The one "project I have for my console television is to remove the "base" that the set rotates on, which is limited to an estimated 35-45 degrees of rotate total. At that point, I have a great set of heavy duty casters that I will install. Lots of my retro gaming is done via the wii. It is just too handy of a system for anyone with a CRT. >>5165767
You should take that flag, and a damp towel and run it in the clothes drier on low/no heat. It should help take the creases out of it. Did you paint that Xbox Retro emulator, or is that stickers? I painted mine in red to match my Wii for no reason other than that is the color my kid picked.

>>5166039
Different anon, but neat flag trick.

Here's my humble setup. I like it but I don't have anywhere to actually sit my consoles and I'm not sure what to do with them. Just the one is already slightly sitting off the edge, but I have a SNES and a PS1 I'd like to use too

>>5166052
>Different anon, but neat flag trick.
It works with clothes. I have a few shirts that no matter how you hang them, they will wrinkle. Manmade materials can melt at high drier heat, so it works that way. Its not a flag trick, so much as a way to not iron a shirt, but to have all the wrinkles out of it. Hell, I have tossed entire suits in the drier due to poor storage.

old pic somewhat related.

>>5166060
Love the set up. Desk stations like this are good for using 1 console at a time. If you want to connect all of your consoles at once, I think an entertainment center type set up would be better. This looks really good already though, if you just focus on one console at a time.

>>5166060
>I like it but I don't have anywhere to actually sit my consoles and I'm not sure what to do with them
Perhaps a shelf across the middle of the window above your monitors. anchor it on the right and left side of the window.

Finally got my setup complete. I don't have anywhere to put the N64 though, when I'm not using it I just store it in an old snare drum carrying case.

why pretend to care about visual quality beyond a consumer tv if you don't care about audio quality?

>>5171764
Are you hacker from the future?

>>5172447
What's actually wrong with Logitech?
I've had them for a few years now and they serve me well enough.
It's still better than the PVMs mono speaker and untill I find a pair of nice sony speakers they will do.
I don't have any idea what to get anyway. I'm not that good with sound systems. Feel free to po8nt me in the right direction if you're so good at it.

Also I paid more for the speakers to begin with (55€).

>>5172463
Go to a goodwill or craigslist and find a decent receiver that supports up to component for video routing and also supports dolby pro-logic 2 decoding. now find five speakers that aren't crap and a subwoofer. once you hear games coming out of real speakers you'll realize why people shit on those tiny cheap logitech speakers. if you aren't sure how to judge speakers just look up reviews and if it's at least a 3/5 you're fine, try to avoid entry level consumer crap like a sony surround sound setup. get speakers from a brand that makes speakers as their business or one that has a reputation in the industry like yamaha. sony doesn't btw.

>>5172474
Anything from the silver age (pre 1980) is great. Pioneer sx 525 is a good choice. They are cheap and rather easy to fix. They where also entirely hand built.

>>5172474
>>5172513
Thanks senpai.
I'm European so no goodwill or graigslist here (as far as I'm aware).
I'll browse instead the local eBay and Facebook marketplace looking for a good deal.
I wasn't interested anyway in any surround system. They never appealed to me.
A receiver with 2 speakers would be more than enough for my needs. I don't have the space for 5 speakers and a subwoofer but if I find something nice I'll get it and deal with space issues later.

On a somewhat related topic, how do you power all your devices?
Mine are all plugged into extension chords that go into only 2 wall power outlets.
It works but my limited knowledge of electronics tell me it's kinda unsafe.

>>5172561
you would have letgo or gumtree available or perhaps a local version of such local classifieds.


I use power bars split across separate outlets. Extension cables are perfectly fine so long as they are not frayed or cheaply made. I don't know about plugging bars into extension cables though, I've always been told not to so I avoid that.

>>5172881
Most of us here use eBay kleinanzeigen or Facebook.
I've never heard of the other two.

Well sound like I need to invest in some extension chords and power bars.

>>5172561
I plugged a power bar into a short extension cord, one of the ones you use for Christmas lights. I had to cut the ground off the power bar for it to work. Once the first bar filled up I plugged a second bar into the first bar. All my stuff (CRT TV, 6 consoles, VCR, DVD playet, and a 1970s alarm clock) is plugged in to the daisy chained power bars with the exception of my 2600.

Probably not the safest but it's been like that for years so whatever

>>5172087
Optimum.

Dont be mean. I tore the walls and ceilings down, and even redid the electrical from scratch, doubling my outlets.

>>5171608
I can understand the autistic OCD behind the messy cords, but since they don't prevent me to play my games I couldn't fucking care.
Could you elaborate on the Nintendo=manchild meme ? I need a good laugh.

A lot of particle board shelfing in here, not great. But you have a nice Vectrex.

>>5174941
True but in case of a power surge it will affect all of them.
I'd unplug everything you rarely use to lighten up the load.

>>5174943
Well I didn't feel like having 50kgs wood shelves under the 50kgs of CRT . Thanks for noticing the vectrex, indeed it's a lot of fun and buzz

>>5174960
Well, give it enough time, and the 50kgs of CRT will be inside of those shelves.

>>5172561
I bought a UPS cause one night I had my SNES get shorted by a electrical storm, also lost my HDTV but the CRT held up. I used to just not plug in everything due to concern about the power packs warming up. But now I suppose having the little bit of protection I leave most plugged in now.

Nah, everyone in the area was present and accounted for, everyone that wasn't either lived half the state or half the country away, and no one was destitute enough to try that anyways. We were guessing it was probably one of his later acquaintances or someone he once rented a room to that did the deed. He was handicapped from an accident in the late 80's but had a stubborn independence streak, so he ended up trying to keep a home on his own despite being unable to work full-time which in turn led to him renting out to less-than reputable types in an already shitty area.

To keep this blog post somewhat on-topic, I guess seeing that happen left me with a faint lingering fear that I might end up the same; dead and with nothing to be remembered by, pass on, or even have sold to benefit my family because everything was just straight up robbed and likely distributed among dozens of pawnshops if not discarded in some drainage canal. He had good sized SNES, Genesis, Saturn, PSX, and 64 collections that he had owned since they were new, TONS of PCs/components and monitors stretching from the early 90's to the then present late 00's, some memorabilia, and a lot of old photos and videos saved to media of all sorts (but not so much paper) - all just gone. I might be a collectorfag but I have no illusions of taking it with me when I go or having it appreciate in value like crazy, but where it DOES go is still important to me. I guess the only moral of the story is to be careful of who you associate with.

Worst purchase of my life, hands down. 4/6 games I bought are still sealed because I have no motivation to play it. Even outside of the house I use my PSP. I haven't turned on my switch in like 8 months.

>>5178017
Anon here. My clutter is a result of collecting for the past 20+ years. I simply have nowhere else to put anything. All those drawers you see are filled with games. My closet is filled with consoles, games, and video tapes. I work 2 jobs, and simply don't have the time or energy to straighten it up. Besides, I've seen MUCH worse at other friends' houses. Rooms that you have to contort your limbs in unnatural positions in order to access anything.

Also, I do a lot of trouble shooting of computers and electronics in that room, so I keep wires easy to access so I don't lose time digging them out. I am very selective of guests who go in that room. Only very close friends are allowed in that room. In those drawers are hundreds and hundreds of games I've accumulated. Yes, I could sell them and stick with Everdrives, but to me finding and obtaining each game is a lot of fun by itself.

I'm a definite fan of those franchises, I just haven't been getting and playing alot of ps2 games. my ps2 collection started recently after a friend sold me a lot of his collection. I'm not even a huge jrpg fan, just a fan of persona and digital devil saga.

I have a wega that does 1080i. Works perfectly with ps3 (to play retro on obviously). It does anything under 1080. Input lag is a meme on my set at least and it's a widescreen. If there is input lag, it's minimal enough that you can't tell it on tight platformers like Mr. Gimmick. To be fair I don't use HDMI because the jack is broken or doesn't work for whatever reason. Component and s-video or even composite looks decent on it. The only downside is it weighs 265 lbs, so you better have a good back and a strong friend or two if you want to move it.

people asking about hd sets: it destroys 240p content.
If you're playing 480p+ it's fine, and 480i upscaling is debatable, but if the tv doesn't display 480i natively then it is obliterating your scanlines and ruining the look of the game

I'm not the dicks who were mean, but my honest opinion is all those carts look bad. They would look much nicer in drawers with only a few of your favorites on display. Right now it has a pawn shop aesthetic, not a cool game room one. If seeing all the carts makes you happy, that's fine, but I think they would look better away from your TV, whether on a bookshelf type unit or in a drawer. I'm talking specifically about the ones around the monitor, the ones on the left shelving aren't too bad.

Lookin good but I think it would look better if you put something on the back so you didn't see the wall around the television. You can buy thin board like is in the back of the glassed in parts at most big home improvement stores. I forget what it's called but you could probably get it to match your entertainment center. If you can't find it, even tightly stretched black cloth would look good.

This setup legit gives me anxiety just looking at it. Just some things I would do to organize it better:

I would get more sorting bins for extra controllers/accessories and either put them on the bottom shelves if you use them regularly. Any ones you don't use much, just hide away in a closet. This includes fightsticks. Put any consoles that fit under the TV, and the rest on the shelves, the ones you use most on the same level as the tv. Unless you're regularly playing the 2600, pack that shit away or display it on the top of the shelf. Same goes with your Playstation since you have a PS2 already. Throw away that power supply.

And for god's sake keep all your games in one place.
