No one said that. No one ever says that. It’s always the former with oversensitive boomers on this board.

>>6509814

Theres an OG xbox, Amiga cd32, 3do, master system and another ps1 obscured behind the tortoise enclosure. All the cartridge systems have flashcarts and I've got my eyes on the GC loader and MODE for the others. Not sure about the PSIO yet... During lockdown, I've got a gscartsw on order and upgraded all the cables to rgb packapunch scarts from retro gaming cables. The difference is night and day compared to the composite crap I was using. The top 8 systems all have wireless controller options now, apart from the DC, N64 (using a brawler) and GC. Any news on a 3rd party wavebird??

>>6509738
Imagine the dust

>>6510403
What’s the PS1 wireless adapter? I have a Brook wireless adapter but it seems to make my memory cards less reliable when plugged in to the same port. Not sure if it’s maybe drawing power that should be going to the memory card or something.

>>6510403
Just like 80s Japan!

>>6510554
That's is a brooks converter too. It hasnt thrown me any issues yet. Are you using official memory cards?

>>6510403
>>6509738

I dont think i want to physically collect these old games anymore...

>>6510403
Incredibly soulless setup

>>6511029
What would add soul? I find the clean look inspired.

>>6510403
I like it, don't know why the other anons have a problem. Maybe because it doesn't look like an ultra-comfy SOULFUL authentic 80s kid's bedroom who had divorced parents or something.

My basement setup now.

Connected to the 19" Zenith are the PC Engine/Super CD and Sega Genesis/CD. On the 27" Sony are the SNES, N64, Saturn and PS2.

thx, all I need is a softer light and it would be nice. I find the lamp to be a bit bright, and the overhead light is only ever on to take the occasional pic.

>>6511646
I like the vaporwave aesthetic.
The rgb looks amazing through this tv
Cant complain about the controllers. They feel good and I havent noticed any lag.
The one speaker is for a surround set-up linked to my main tv. I don't have room for other speakers.
The crystals are only fair as the rest of the house is filled with my guitars, vinyls and games. She can have this small space to call her own haha

It seems all the set-ups that get called comfy would smell like a 40 year old rug. I find hordes of mario figures and amiibos cringe... and dusty. I tried to mix the old with the new here so it doesnt look out of place in my modern lounge.

The practice of using strongly colored kick and fill lights. Was en vogue for some time and contributed to the signature look of many 80s movies.
Most people aren't artists or film makers, so they just drench scenes or subjects/objects in colored flood light and call it "vaporware" look.

Announcing that you're leaving a conversation is far more effeminate and cowardly than simply leaving it. Are you the same guy who was bragging about writing MIDI in the MIDI thread?

>>6511131
Thanks. I like having that nostalgia kick like most people here but I dont like a visible spaghetti of wires or walls of pop-vinyls. It may not seem it, but a lot of work went into this block of old machines with rgb mods, cutting the furniture up to route wires and getting it all to (mostly) be wireless and ready to play at the hit of a switch. It's like the consoles have grown up with me in a way =)

>>6511845

>>6511816
As in records, not those anime statues some people like to film themselves jizzing on. If you're knocking collecting records, what's the difference between that and collecting old games?

>>6511857
Based retard, the plural of "vinyl" is just "vinyl" not "vinyls"

>>6511860
Nice abusive fallacy changing the direction of this argument.

>>6511883
Since when? I haven't replied to your posts to do anything but bristle at you saying 'vinyls' like some ESL loonie.

really comfy looking room but I don't see a single video game, let alone retro game in the entire picture.

This isn't a battlestation, more like a weebo dinghy.

>>6512253

Why do you have a book that says Lesbian?

>>6511216
very nice

I need to fix the convergence on my CRT. Got it for free a few years back and the picture is pretty decent. I'm sitting in a computer chair. I need to find a recliner or some shit. In the closet is my clothes and misc hardware and games I need to put on the shelf. But I may just pull them all off and use the shelf for actual books and other cool stuff as I dont really care about physical media beyond the stuff I currently have, and plan on getting flashcarts and other misc piracy hardware.
SNES is hooked up via scart to the retrotink RGB2COMP.

>>6513942
Why is the console there instead of under the TV in the cabinet?

>>6511161
lolwut, straight out of some cyberpunk movie

>>6513942
I hope you're in the process of moving in and you don't just have an empty house with giant storage containers laying around normally

>>6512885
it's a lewd comic book that a friend gave me lol

>>6514646
Can you think of a better way of hiding bodies? Eventually the cops will get tired of opening up endless containers and finding nothing but DVD's.

>>6514646
Process of moving in. I'm in a weird spot where I turned 18 when my parents where wanting to move and I had no money to move elsewhere.
I kind of like the utility of having boxes instead of shelves honestly.

>>6514578
I'm gonna use the cabinet for storage. I used to like having all my systems out at once but nowadays I prefer to to just have one out and stick with it for a while. Dunno what I'm gonna put there though.

I don't have any retro consoles myself. I mostly play retro with my friends on their stuff. I've got a PS2 and I emulate sometimes. I more into old A/V and Hi-Fi audio. I feel like I don't see enough setups with retro stuff, other than a console, on the retro board so I figured I post my own.

>>6515094

I always imagined that the dest way to dispose of a body would be blending up little bits in a blendtec blender, mixed with Muriatic acid found in the paint aisle at home depot.

Just pour the perfectly blended goop down the drain. Splash it outside. Whatever.

Not seeing pairs of external speakers in these, unfortunately this means you’re audiocucks.

>>6515868
Well I personally like the feel of the original GG. Different strokes for different folks, anon.

>>6516081
I'm audiocucked because I have no clue about audio.

>>6516927
Not hard to understand. Get an amp and some speakers. That’s all you need.

>>6511857
Only hipsters call them vinyl. They are records, albums, or lps to those old enough to have used them when they were current. Also, if you insist on hipster dichotomy, vinyl is plural. Vinyls just means you have brain damage.

>>6516974
>external speakers and an amp
Gee anon why not just set up some expensive nearfields so you can hear the mix exactly how the engineer working on it did?

>>6512834
Why don't you put the cat inside the drum and lock it there? Then you could also play them every day and the cat would muffle the sound. Just my 2 cents.

>>6515180
Nice NEC, i have a similar tv model CT-2510A. I use mine for gaming. I’ve tinkered with the picture settings a lot and have it as good as I can get it, really like the way it handles composite. And the glass pane is stylish, though I removed mine so I can lower picture and brightness a bit to prolong the life of the tube.

Only thing left is to maybe adjust focus on the flyback one day. I also might clean the picture adjustment rheostats.

>>6515839

>>6511216
>pvm

>>6518749
Oh, neat! Mine's Model No.: is CT-2510A(R). I use mine for all my composite stuff, mainly VCR. I only got mine recently.
Would you happen to know what the TV Multiplex, the TV input with yellow and black RCA , or the 3.58TRAP switch is for? I haven't been able to find any manuals or documentation on this set, and if you know where to find some or any info I would much appreciate it.

This is your life anon. Nothing better to do than bump threads from page 10. Captcha cucking for a pointless crusade. You think you are an epic troll but the worst you got was getting called a schizo. Nobody cares about what you're doing. Not even I. You saved a few threads I'd like to see continue. Your life is pointless. You serve no purpose. You eat, shit, and sleep so you can captcha cuck for google and "troll" slow boards because you're not adept enough for the real challenges. You would get hard filtered by any fast moving board. This post serves only to remind you that killing yourself is an option.

Bros I have a KD-34XBR960 but don't have a stand for it. Any suggestions on what to use instead?

4chinz rotates phone photos sometimes, something about how user data is stripped from the photo when posting which can cause the picture to rotate.

My NEC doesnt have a 3.58 trap or multiplex audio. What year was your tv made? Looks like it's in great condition externally.

As far as I can tell mutliplex audio was what the Japanese called stereophonic audio broadcasting when they developed it in the late 70's, pic related. So TV multiplex audio was likely for TV broadcast signals with stereo separated audio L & R.

A few Sony PVM/professional monitors had a 3.58 trap, sounds like it might clean up the composite signal a little. Their manual says this about the switch:
"3.58 (MHz) TRAP button (NTSCass only)
This button can be used to eliminate the dot interference to the luminance signal appearing between colors in the horizontal direction, which is one of the characteristics of the comb filter."

>>6521856
Mine was made November 1984. I bought it from an estate sale not too long ago. The person who owned it also had a bunch of recorded VHS and CrO2 Cassette tapes. Who ever owned it had quality hardware and it was well taken care of. However the picture isn't perfect and I wouldn't be surprised if the set has a bunch of hours on it.
I tried to see if there was a difference with the 3.58TRAP switch on and I couldn't tell. I appreciate all the info though. Interesting on that multiplex audio.
I have another question if you don't mind. Does yours have a monitor composite input like mine? I can't figure out how to access that input to display. To be honest, I'm not sure if it is a display input. It has a monitor output on the front behind a panel too.

>>6523478
Figured out monitor is just an output. Kind of a duurr moment. It seems video 1 out is just composite pass through and monitor is whatever is being displayed on screen.

>>6523478
Definitely interesting about the multiplex audio. My guess is there was a rush from tech companies to get their patented form of stereo audio TV broadcast to dominate the market. Seems like MTS Stereo won that race.

My tv was made in '85. It has a TV out (likely like your video one out) and a monitor out. I've never messed with them, cool to know the difference between the two, thanks for sharing.

>>6523478
Mine likely has a lot of hours too. It’s a neat tv and oozes style, but mine likely has a lot of hours too. When I first turned it on and hooked up a video source I was not impressed. Spent a good amount of time dialing it in and now I really pleased with the picture. This is close up, but sitting several feet away (and after several beers) it really looks great. Just like my wife.

>>6524449
I resized the image because the original was too big to post. Looks like it lost a lot of quality. Trying again with a different method.

>>6523478
Here’s the picture settings I have. Certainly your mileage may vary, but see if it improves the image at all. One thing I’ve noticed with this and another tv I have with rheostat picture knobs, once you’re happy with the settings, very gently nudging the tint knob will often clear up the image slightly. Try both directions clockwise and ccw, as long as it doesn’t affect the color too much.

>>6523478
I also recommend using a short, shield cable for video. I’ve only tried a handful of different types but the best I’ve found are from Audio Research. Bought a set of 3 ft cables on eBay. The two audio cables and the video cable look the same, but you’ll immediately notice the video cable is stiff compared to the audio cables due to the extra shielding.

>>6511135
Is that a zenith super system? I have one as well. it's got fake wood grain and fucking s-video. truly a high tech wonder of its time

>>6520167
Here’s the back of the 2510A. Also worth noting - my CRTs from the early to mid 90s have issues related to capacitor failure, yet this NEC and an early 80s Mitsubishi tv I have appear to have no capacitor issues.

The most entertaining part of this thread was watching multiple anons completely lose their shit over the term "vaporwave lights" due to the sudden embarrassment of seeing a thing they've actually spent time and money on doing get called out for what it actually is.

>>6522631
Oh please I used to be a trucker and you know what I'd use? A 7 gallon water carrier.

>>6524449
Mine was the same way. When I first hooked it up, the picture was pretty bad. I ran 240p Test Suite in a PS2 nes emulator and calibrated it about to what my D-Series showed and I was impressed. The only thing wrong really is linearity and some overscan, but it's not really that noticeable on VHS playback.

>>6524479
You know what my picture settings are actually pretty close to that. The adjustment knobs on mine don't have that little notch though.

>>6515753
That's what I was going to say...

Laptop and SF30 Pro controller. I have every GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SNES, N64, MS, GG, Genesis, with a few hundred Saturn, Dreamcast, PSX, PS2, Gamecube, Wii, and original Xbox games. They run at full speed and all are upscaled atleast 4x. Call it zoomerfaggotry idc.

Want to know who is Raye, Rake, or whatever he writes it

>>6524552
Yep. I was surprised that a tv of that age had a port for s-video. Haven't used it yet though.

I really should make room for my 180watt Realistic Stereo Reciver made by Fostex Japan and my Kenwood 5-Way Speakers and blast some mother fucking PC-Engine Chip tunes with it. Hook up some Sapphire with my Briefcase and Arcade Pro Card. And then a little Lords of Thunder. Maybe i'll even commit some heresy and hook in my Pioneer SG-9800 Stereo Equalizer.
