Comfy, but get that RE2 poster framed, son.

>>6114443
>favourite retro game
Spyro 2: riptos rage
>favourite system and why
PlayStation 1, because it has most of my favourites on the system, across different genres. All around good system.
>what’s on backlog?
For such a big RE fan I never finished the second half of RE3, I’ll have to crack down on that before the remake.
>what’s next for your collection?
Super Nintendo games, the final few. Super Metroid, FFIII, doom, and front mission 1
>fondest memory
Getting to dragon shores the first time, long after childhood, and looking back at all the years spent playing Spyro and finally achieving the endgame. Bittersweet.

>>6114446
It’s a very odd dimension and it’s too late for that as I kinda fucked it up trying to trim it down some, there used to be unsightly white borders on it that I took off rather sloppily

>>6114443

nice and comfy. would play in it.

what gbc do you have? i see a game there.

>>6114502
Gameboy advance sp in red, it’s behind the re gaiden along with the rest of the gb games.

>>6114496
“No, you will not”

>>6114443
What the fuck is Resident Evil Gaiden?

>>6114639
It’s a resident evil game. For the gameboy color. You play as Barry burton in a non-canon story, trying to rescue Leon and sherry from a huge cruise boat that got infected. It’s absolutely underrated by people who were mad they got gaiden instead of the RE1 port. It’s worth playing if you are a fan. Food atmosphere, the music and visuals are top notch but the combat is really simplistic and you are only as good as your reflexes and timing are. 7/10

>>6114706
wow, I'm watching gameplay right now and it looks really fun for a Gameboy game, the 8bit music has me scared than the lavender town music

>>6115006
Your setup sucks, go back to resetera

>>6115010
At this point, I am half convinced that people just repost that old ass image knowing it'll make people mad. It pops up so often on here it's like a meme.

>>6115029
That's exactly what it is. Pretty sure it's a reddit pic that some fag started posting here to generate butthurt and it stuck.

>>6115035

This is so wrong, it hurts.

I've been on /vr/ since the day of it's inception.

>>6115040
always the same weak bait

>>6115010
>>6115029
Why is that setup triggering to you guys?

>>6115047
It doesn't really bother me, though it's way too messy and overstuffed for my taste (I wish I had some of the gear you had though). I'm just saying, I see it posted for every single "battlestation" thread and it drives people up a wall every time. At the end of the day though, what matters if it works for you.

>>6114443

It's amazing how in every old-school setup these days everyone has like 12 SNES games, 20 N64 games, 900 PS1/PS2 games, 11 XBox 360 games, and like 4 PS4 games. 6th Gen gaming truly was the golden age.

>>6114452
>unsightly white borders
the frame covers those, in case you haven't realized

>>6114451
You have a good selection of Gen 5 stuff in there, what are the 4 Ps1 unknowns?

>>6115006
How does it feel to post that only to get a bunch of hate from it each time? I mean really, it's gotta sting at least a little.

>>6115073
It's not mine. I was just wondering what drove people nutso.

As you said, it's a bit too cluttered for me personally. But yeah, if it works, it works. Homes are comfy for the person living in them, not the people looking at pictures of it on the internet.

>>6115089
A lot of the new posters here are 20 somethings whos 1st console was a 6th gen console, so it’s what they have nostalgia for mostly.

>>6115154
Jurassic Park warpath
Yugioh forbidden memories
Spyro 2 and 3
I also have syphonfilter, Star Wars rebel assault 2, 101 dalmations to the rescue, and mary kate/Ashley mystery mall disc only

>>6115160

Nah, not in the slightest. It's just the internet.

>>6114443
>favourite retro game
Paper Mario 64

>favourite system and why
Tossup between Sega Saturn and Dreamcast for all the underlooked stuff they have in their libraries. SS for hermit mode, DC for hosting a game night.

>what’s on backlog?
More games than I can shake a stick at but the priority games are Sonic CD, Sonic Adventure 2, Bonk trilogy, MOTHER 1, and SMRPG.

>what’s next for your collection?
Getting everything wired and playable since most of it’s been sitting unplugged for months.

>fondest memory
For /vr/ specific stuff, playing MK64 with my dad back in the day.

Also could use some recommendations for a set of decent surround speakers that won’t break the bank or my CRTs’ purity/geometry.

>favourite retro game
Dude If you can choose only 1 game you need to play more
Area88, G darius, mr driller G,Alien Soldier, TGM,Gunbird2, Panel de pon, Chelnov MD, CvS2. and many more.
>favourite system and why
Megadrive, Minus the Master System and Even if 2 time a week I could spent 3 or 4 hours in the arcade. I am a kid who grow up with Nintendo consoles,
DC was the first console I got with my own money and I enjoy it so much to the point I decided to get an MD to see what I missed on the 16bits era, Oh boy I fallen In love with the system, Arcade games port with their own charms, Amazing original games like Alien soldier Chelnov, X ranga, or even classics like Golden axe, SOR2, Ecco, Shinob2.
3 buttons like Jamma Standards sometimes the 3rd buttons is configure with Autofire of the main weapon.
Neat details like a 3.5 jack exit and volume adjustable (a would love having this as a kid)
>what’s on backlog?
Sengoku Blade Space bomber, lode runner the dig fight, Cleopatra Fotune Deluxe.
>what’s next for your collection?
2020 would be the dragon year Dragon Blaze. Samurai ace. Dragon Spirit Dragon saber..
>fondest memory
-When i had the master system i was called a liar for playin Double Dragon with a real 2players mode same with the 3D glasses and outrun.
When i got the DC i remember my Grandma (who played many games with me) told me "now this os Amazing" looking at Sonic Adventure specially the waves on the beach.

>>6116404
>3 crt
Why do people do that?

>>6114443
very jealous of that cabinet CRT, op.

>favourite retro game
Atari 2600
>favourite system and why
SNES probably since it was what I played most as a kid
>what’s on backlog?
a lot of nu-retro PC games atm
>what’s next for your collection?
I'd like to expand my 2600 collection considerably
>fondest memory
tough call. maybe playing Commander Keen 1 for the first time

>>6115089
In your own post and observation you contradicted yourself. And if you really think 6th gen gaming is the golden age, then you haven't played enough of 4th and 5th gens. If anything, 6th gen is the bronze age if I'm being generous to exclude the 3rd gen.

>>6118335

Don't break a hip now

Are you the one that makes all those threads saying big round rumber? Never ever.

Looks more like a basement

The following setups are audiocucked:
>>6114443
>>6114713
>>6116802
>>6118319
>>6118362
Cringe!

Here's my setup. Dumpy modular furniture, but it's just in my basement so it's whatever. Comfy space.

>>6118362
>>6118379
You guys got good sump pumps in your basements right?

>>6114443
Throw out that PS2 for a better one

>>6118380
Yeah, my sump is actually not far from where this picture ends. We got a record setting amount of rain this past Spring, and there was never a drop of water in the basement.

>>6118383
>Throw out that PS2 for a better one
What's wrong with slims? When they work they're nice. Hard to work on though. They got worse output or something?

>>6118394
They lack the support of installing an HDD so you don't have to worry about the disc reader going. With the fat PS2 you can install custom firmware on the HDD and boot games off of it. You can't put an HDD in the slim

>>6118521
To add onto this there's no drawbacks to this because it actually increases load times. The only thing you'd miss out on is potentially not being fast enough to read text on loading screens

>>6118521

Travel router + OPL SMB = no bottleneck loading PS2 games from flash on a slim. No reason to switch to a console with more hours on it from a mcboot capable slim really

>>6118702
Isn't loading through the USB ports incredibly slow?

If I post mine will you guys promise not to be mean?

>>6118764
I will be fair to it. I speak only for myself though.

>>6118716

For PS2 games yes but this method isn't using the built in USB ports. You can buy travel routers with USB 2+ ports on them to basically act as an adaptor to connect them to the ethernet port. Better yet, you can power them off the system's USB power. Since PS2 only needs to access stuff at 4x DVD speed, even that roundabout way of doing it is enough to have sufficient transfer speeds for lagless play via flash drive.

>>6118702
You can't even play GTA on a slim. Seems pretty cucked to me lad.

>>6119165
I was just playing GTAIII on my slim a moment ago. Which GTA game can't be played on the slim?

>>6119165
Op got 3 gta games and a slim
You talmbout ps1 gta?

There's a reason I don't post my battlestation very often.
But here you go. Yeah! It does need cleaning. That's right, anon. Good observation.

seeing World Warrior at the arcade for the first time, it looked like some anime/cartoon in motion to me back then, what a game...

Bit of a jank set-up but eh, works fine for me.

>favourite retro game
R-Type (PC-Engine) or Symphony of the Night
>favourite system and why
PC-Engine, everything about it is just my ideal system, the games all have a really charming aesthetic, the library is incredibly consistent and its just /comfy/. Plus the multitude of shooters.
>what’s on backlog?
Currently playing through FE4 and having a blast so I'd like to play Thracia next and then maybe SMT1 or get into Phantasy Star.
>what’s next for your collection?
Id like to get some more MSX and Lynx games if I can find them for an affordable price.

Nice , playing on the floor can be comfy if you do it right. I see you also got the brand new gamecube controllers that were released with smash last year, which is great!

I normally hate it when people make their living room the game room, but this one looks nice. No oversaturation of gaming shit, HDTV mounted over crt is a good idea, bookshelves are filled with books instead of plastic, and the Atari is on top of the PS4 like god intended. My only question is where do you keep the games and controllers?

>>6119951
that my gaming room and Smetroid and UN SQUADRON/Area88 are the only game I still enjoy on that pleb system.

That why they are the only Snes Games I have boxed.

Are you both retarded? Samus=/=metroid

I can't show anyone my room. I won't. It's too dirty. Just looking at it might give someone a disease. Who would want a disease? Nobody, right? That's unambiguous. lol I will sit here and look at other peoples' rooms. There will be a lot of looking. Looking will go on for a while. I don't have to be anywhere for 2 hours. So I'll just sit and scroll. Self-actualize, basically. Why not go in that direction? lol You don't criticize me and I won't criticize you.

I know you like to say there are plenty of audio-critical anons on here but I know for a fact now you're the same guy, are are THE audio cuck. You need a better pass time btw than camping these threads on a slow ass board for your chance to yell audi cuck.

Cleaned the inside of my stand and got my system inside there, copped a muji beanbag for something comfy to sit on. I want to redo the whole corner of my room and probably put the TV in on an angle since the stand tapers at the back but for the time being I'm enjoying this station

>>6122958
>wojakcrying.jpg

>>6122910
How's it backwards exactly? Nearly eveyone here has a CRT, the only reason anyone cares about gaming on a CRT is because they saw some youtuber talking about them and jumped on the bandwagon. Next to no one cares about audio quality, clearly, given the lack of audio equipment in these threads. Why overlook audio but care enough to get a PVM or whatever, unless you're just a gullible idiot and like to do what other people tell you to?

>>6123135

Do you think everyone here is underage to the point they don't remember playing games on a CRT and at some point realized that SD content looks awful on HD sets or..??

>>6114452
Get a custom cut mat at hobby lobby slightly smaller than the poster, then tape it to the mat and frame it.

>thinks I'm going to take his bait the 100th time.
kek, fuck off, your posts speak for themselves I don't have to explain anything.

>>6123174
he's either that retarded yes, or just baiting. Probably the latter

>>6123135
You seem to be confused between people caring about CRTs and people caring about muh RGB and component. Anyone who isn't blind or dumb can realize retro games look better on a crt. RGB on the other hand, I'll agree people only started caring mostly because of youtubers and reddit.

>all the clutter everywhere

My “battle station” is just my crt integrated into my living room. All my consoles and games are stored in boxes in my closet or in cabinets with doors, and I take them out one at a time to play. What is this need to have everything visible at all times?

>>6123249
>this fucking guy again

Go away Marie

>>6123251
he has a point though, although I do like seeing some cleaner set ups like>>6114713
that do include some games. It also depends on how much room you have. I live in a small apartment so displaying my collection would mean having it in my sight at all times, something I def. don't want. If I had a room just for it though, I would gladly display my toys and games all over the place.

How do you guys stack/align your games? For carts I make sure the bottom is always down, despite not being able to see the labels. I stack my jewel cases vertically cause I’m paranoid about discs scratching by being sideways

>>6123358
Has to be symmetrical or close to it
Labels sorted by color (white labels don’t go next to rainbow labels, creates unnecessary visual noise) systems don’t intermix, games I play often get seated towards the left hand side so when I scan my games I see my favourites first. Cartridges stack and get pushed against the wall so dust doesn’t get into the contact area, aesthetics over functionality within reason

>>6123212
>my setup sucks ass and i can’t handle when someone points it out

just finished redoing my setup, the room feels much more open, some might recognize the tv and consoles from a post a couple threads ago, where the lot was all crammed together on a flimsy-looking shelf
couch and surround speakers are along the wall opposite to the CRT
disregard the not retro shit on the right

>>6123585
Now that’s a battlestation
How come this is the first time I’ve seen it? This is legit

>>6123617
it's the first time you've seen it because until about a week ago, it looked like this

I acquired the cabinet from my grandparents, who had it sitting in the garage since they got their new tv. it's really fucking heavy but it has wheels, so that's neat. I got the audio system from my dad, it had been sitting in storage ever since they bought a new one about 7 years ago, i figured i'd give it a new home. I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out.

>>6123629

Only have scart for the ps1 and snes for now. Gonna have to invest in more scart cables

>>6116404

wow, man!

>>6125127
Alot of these systems you really dont need a framemeister. og xbox has such great video quality that you can hook it straight up to an hdtv and not lose any fidelity. same goes for dreamcast but your going to want a beharbros vga box for that. Ps2 has such horrendous video quality the best way to play ps2 and ps1 on a lcd is with that 60gb fat ps3 model

>>6125127
Why the fuck do you have two ps2s and one psx?

>>6125180
Oh well gosh how could anyone fail to notice your framememester box sitting atop your set up you must feel pretty accomplished saving up all your McDonald's paychecks to be a part of such a prestigious group.

Thanks. I actually got pretty lucky and found it for free a few months ago, especially with a stand I feel like in today's youtubed CRT market that's close to a miracle.

I'm kind of spergy about the typical wega geometry problems but I'm slowly learning to embrace it. DVD's and 3D games look really fuckin good on 32" of higher-TVL aperture grille via component.

But the rest of his systems WOULD benefit from a Framemeister, and at that point he can just run them all through the whatever switcher he has and everything is a million times easier than unnecessarily hooking up two systems in a different way just to satisfy your autism. And most LCD TVs can't even take a VGA cable anymore.

Hello anon who posted the image and no not really the nintendo 64 also is this system where you can do alot to improve the image... But only slightly, the difference between n64 s video and the rgb mod is really small maybe with de blur but the only really big difference is with the hdmi mod witch is fucking impossible to get a hold of right now. The gamecube as well if you want to max it out you need those 300 dollar component cables, i know someone is working on component cables for gc but who knows how much longer that's going to be, a wii with a hyperkin hdmi cable produces actually just as good of an image as the gchd cable. So that leaves really only the snes and nes that are really going to take full advantage of the framemeister which with out the proper cable for snes or the rgb mod for nes will actually look worse then if there hooked up to composite through a retrotink. Also all of the the options I've talked about here use hdmi so all you need is an hdmi splitter. This is a perfect example of someone doing no research at all buying the most expensive upscaler there is for consoles that dont really need it, and or not having the mods and cables to utilize it. Maybe try doing some research before blowing 400 dollars on a scaler

>>6129250
GC has the gchd if you want component or HDMI.

>>6129759
Yes and that costs 150 dollars a hyperkin wii cable looks about just as good for 20 bucks

>>6129783
Poorfags gonna poor. It's still cheaper than legit cables. Also I use a wii component cable from the gchd to go to my trinitron.

I want to get a bigger PVM but I can't find any locally

>>6129839
How much are you selling that PvM for?

>>6129839
watch out not electrocuting yourself. Tidy those dem fucking cables

>>6129839
PVMs are kind of a meme, but your setup has soul, although that extension cord on your bed is a horrible idea. Static electricity is a thing and you could short out your N64;etc. Be more careful.

>not just keeping the main room comfy and for all-round purposes.

as you can see, the games are in my bedroom

and the consoles and hardware go into the closet.

>>6122898
I used to have a setup almost exactly like this but with a PS2 until my cunt mom threw out my little TV when I was a teenager.

>>6114443
Not gonna show my room. I've posted it plenty in the past.

>favourite retro game
Don't really have one. I have a hard time even picking my favorite game in any genre. I'll just say Mario 3 and move on with my life.
>favourite system and why
It's weird, even though it probably has the smallest pool of games that I love, the N64 has the most fond memories attached to it. I asked for one in 96 and 97, but my mom was pretty deadset against me having more video game systems, so I didn't even bother asking in 98 and had just decided to save up my own money for one, but goddamn, that was the year she suprised me with one. Did not expect it.
>what’s on backlog?
Mostly JRPGs. I wasn't a big fan of them when I was younger, but now I really like them. Never had a PS1, so I'm working my way through the classics on that. Playing FF VI right now, but I've got FFIX and Xenogears ready.
>what’s next for your collection?
Not much. Most of my favorites I still have from my childhood, so most purchases I make nowadays are novelties. My C64 was one of the few pieces of hardware that didn't survive my childhood, so I was thinking of maybe replacing that and building up a small collection just for shits.
>fondest memory
Too many, but here's a weird one I don't get to share often:
I got Earthworm Jim 2 for Christmas of '95. A couple of days later, I got dragged to a "post-Christmas" party at a cousin's house. For no real reason other than the fact that I was obsessed with the game, I took my EWJ 2 cart with me in my coat pocket. When I got there, it turned out one of the kids actually had a Sega Genesis, hooked up to a small black and white TV (in their parents' bedroom, for some reason). I was stoked and whipped out my cart and everyone had a blast. One of the other kids was just randomly mashing buttons at once point, and that's how I discovered the hidden "Manta Shield".

Also, there was some sausage pâté at that party that was so damn good I can still taste it.

Just get a consumer set with s-video, or get one with component and invest in some of those transcoding cables that are a thing now. This is coming from a guy who owns a PVM; they're nice, but not worth the price people are asking. Don't go for it unless you get it for free, or at least under a hundred.

>>6131164
I never thought I'd actually see someone who fell for the "keep all your systems in storage and only hook up one at a time" meme, but goddamn.

>>6131321
I got a big sony trinitron in my living room with S-Video but it has some flicker. Been meaning to open it up and clean and recap it and adjust everything as a project

I like how you didn't acknowledge that the static electricity inherent on your bed is still bad for everything there and could start a fire, it means you really are a girl. A rarity around here. Watch out, you'll get asked out now by extremely lonely virgins. Good luck.

I see the GC. Your setup has soul and it's tree-pilled too.

>>6131317
Yeah same, I feel like I don't need to post anything, mine hasn't changed from the last post.

>Favorite Game
Probably still Sega/Gremlin's Pulsar.

>Favorite System
Sega Master System. It's just so good.

Playing Revelations Persona and my now fixed copy of Mario RPG. (The board has the capacitor completely missing, how's that for bullshit?)

>What's next?
I got a Vanguard arcade cabinet coming soon.

2004-2005 playing Zombies Ate my Neighbors on SNES with cousin during Thanksgiving day. He fucking beat the game in one go.

You're welcome. It's an underrated arcade/console emulation station too. I still want to find the Intellivision disc.

<picture of 14" CRT with japanese SS and DC and PAL NES (with FC cart adapter, my CRT doesn't support NTSC composite to use actual famicom) and GC with GBP

>favourite retro game
I dont know I dont like replaying games that much and I dont have anyone to play multiplayer games with. I'd like to play SSFIIX, VF1, 2 ,3 and Virtual On against someone.
>favourite system and why
Sega Saturn and Dreamcast. They aren't mundane or boring like PS or Nintendo consoles but still have lots of games and all kinds of weird peripherals and i like the aesthetics
>what’s on backlog?
FFVII, Ys (FC), Valkyrie no Boken (FC), Rent a Hero (DC),

more sega games (Panzer Dragoon Zwei, Sega Rally Plus..) and mouse compatible games for Sega Saturn and SNES ports for GBA since I have GBP and no SNES)

tfw have had the same pokemon crystal cartridge since i was 9 but the battery stopped working so i cant save. im no good with soldering so i dont trust myself trying to change it.

As soon as I mentioned this thread was more tame than the last ones there’s 15 consecutive shitposts. Someone is deliberately fucking these threads up. I think it’s out of spite because we were mean to his setup 4 years ago or something autistic.

No, it's an emulationbabby zoomer that has been shitposting in many threads.

How can we encourage normies to stop emulating and spend money on retro battlestations with physical hardware and merchandise instead?

>>6134080
you can, as long as there are no solvents or ammonia. This can is old as fuck. I think it's also for uncoated CRTs, so I don't really use it. I like a wet microfiber cloth.

It's not much, but considering that tetris is almost the only game I play its pretty good

>>6134509
I was wondering when you'd show up

>>6134509
But I have audio. There's a huge amp and equalizer in my pic. I even mentioned the speakers just weren't in the shot. I mean, if they were, they'd have to be very improperly positioned.

I'm beginning to think that audiocuck is just... an ignorant shitposter!

>>6135117
>I'm beginning to think that audiocuck is just... an ignorant shitposter!
more along the lines of if you don't have his exact audio setup, which I'm pretty sure he has refused to disclose so far, then you're setup is audiocucked
either that or it's bait

>>6135218
>>I'm beginning to think that audiocuck is just... an ignorant shitposter!

No shit. Guaranteed replies for him each time. He calls my setup audio cucked and each time I explain that I have speakers that are off-screen and everytime he comes back and says the same thing.

>>6134176
By manufacturing brand new hardware and selling it at affordable price. I'm not touching greasy controllers that were used by God knows who. You can bet your ass some greasy neckbeard was pausing the game to scratch his sweaty balls and ass that weren't washed for ages and proceeded to play with his ass and ball sweat on his fingers. By buying used consoles you are exposing yourself to a biological hazard.

>>6135256
Have you never heard of cleaning? I disassemble and clean everything I buy with a toothbrush, alcohol, and disinfectants for that very reason. It's a nice little ritual that makes it feel like whatever I bought is truly "mine" now.

>>6135256
>>6135287
I would clean my used controllers but I'm the greasy guy scratching his balls while playing. The previous owner has got nothing on me.

>>6135291
Good thinking. As long as your bacteria is strong enough to beat up the previous owner's bacteria, you're golden.

No visible speakers = audiocucked until proven otherwise!

>>6135991
Show us your setup, Anon. We'd like to rate it too.

>>6136082
Pretty comfy, but needs carpet. And other softening features. Gotta cover that brick with some wood paneling too. I like your cleanliness and organization as well as selection; it looks like you're ready to rock just about any video game in existence.

>>6136082
What's the point of having a Wii if you have a Wii U? Can't the Wii U play literally everything the Wii can?

>>6114443
The wood really adds to that comfy aesthetic

>>6136107
>Can't the Wii U play literally everything the Wii can?
not that anon, but the Wii U can't do native 240p.

>>6136087
Ty anon!! =D , I do actually have a carpet I think in this very day my maid took to wash it
My room is half bricks and half wood, is actually hard to explain, they are actually cover but we painted over the cover lol

I also have a spot for dreamcast and some portable games but the only retro one is the GBC

>>6136107
I hook the WIi to both CRTs and the Wii U to the LED tv, I really dont swap cables ,everything is just ready to play with auto switches or at least a hit of a button away

What makes a setup “comfy”?

>>6136130
If it looks like you could fall asleep near it and is easy on the eyes and not cluttered. For me anyway.

>>6136130
A place where you feel nostalgic like you could almost smell the glorious days of your childhood ,like in a rainny day playing video games and feel comfort about it, every one will have a different aproach of course

>>6133564
I have flashcarts for everything, I love these threads not so much for what people own so much as to look at how they set up their collections. That is actually pretty much always has been implied (regardless of hobby) when people show their setups and configurations.

But why would I have an amp without speakers?

>>6136138
>easy on the eyes and not cluttered
Sort of agree. I think a setup can be both cluttered AND comfy, but it's gotta be a certain kind of clutter.

>>6135639
Nice monitor. What's the box on top of it?
>>6135782
I've seen one of those monitors in action. Sony 20L5 I believe. They look significantly better than a standard CRT and they support up to 1080i resolution.

>>6128365
Yeah, cause it’s not unnerving now or anything

>>6134336

I followed this tutorial exactly and, works like a charm. The router used in the guide is on amazon for ~30USD i think and comes with a little ethernet patch cable. It's pretty great because once it's configured, it just works, totally independent of another computer - bring the setup anywhere and it'll just go, it's much more compact and simplified than a fat PS2 with a HDD, and the performance difference is 0. Powered by the system is the bow on top.

A tranny paying for an 8" PVM over getting a normal sized consumer set for free, shocking. What an embarrassing setup/room.

>>6134083
Hhhaahaaahhahahaaaaa!!!!!

>>6137940
So why are you on this very specific board?

>>6138164
Asteroids and Berzerk my brother

>>6116845
>Why do people do that?
Because life gets very crowded cramming 4 people around 25” of screen and a much larger set would start running up against my shelf’s weight capacity. Thus multiple CRTs.

>>6137521
It’s a PVM-2530. I got it as part of a lot from a local traveling exhibition.

>>6137542
Because trying to center for one specific /vr/ console is a fool’s errand since different games and consoles of that vintage overscan differently. You aim for a middle ground and just deal with the artifacting.

>>6138146
>splitting the signal to three tv's for literally no reason
It’s a demonstration for how my setup works for multiplayer. I use one set at a time when I’m playing on my own to reduce tube wear and power consumption.

>>6129839
>I want to get a bigger PVM but I can't find any locally
Put your mini PVM closer to eye level. I used to use a laptop riser with one before I progressively fell further down the PVMeme rabbit hole, and if worked decently

>>6139246
PVMs are a meme. Any good CRT from the era is as good if not better.

>>6139274
They are more practical for cucksheds where you are limited by space.

battlestations? these arent battlestations. this is a battlestation.

>>6122898
I will say that one thing that will help immensely is not playing 2D games with the gamecube controller. The d-pad is too small. The pro controllers for the Wii aren't bad and I bet you could find ten of them for a nickle at a thrift store.

>>6144367
I don't see any cigarettes. An overflowing ash tray and nicotine stains on everything is a particularly revolting finishing touch to any computer desk.
