/vr/ - Retro Games

Simple as. Not gonna bother with original hardware for systems made before 2000.
Not a bad setup OP but the LCD TV is small and your audio is lacking as far as I can tell. Also, no Sega systems? Shaking my head.

>>7888565
its mess
i will never understand why people leave the mess of cords going every which way

i keep controllers in airtight containers stashed out of sight- & all the power/av/component cabling in wooden dressers in a closet until needed

you can have a highly functional /BST/ while preserving the integrity of the aesthetic of the room

>>7888597
>>7888618
you're probably from the crt thread
the minis are perfect for camping &
solar/battery setups

the hilarity of having the complete retail genesis/snes library on hand during the apocalypse while living your new life out of canned foods seems... comfy

>>7888594
cringe

>>7888630

>>7888634
>>7888630
its a mess & im not cleaning

>>7888594
nothing cringe about using a monitor fast enough to keep up with low-latency gameplay

i use a gaming monitor often also
not 1ms but near 5 as i bought it in 2017

>>7888596
Post yours then.

>>7888638
5ms is great to me. Even if it's not, I'd rather not know what I'm missing out on. Don't need to be tempted to spend more $ on gaming right now.

>>7888630
I'm actually not, though I used to be. I mostly got out of the CRT game, but I have 2 5" B&W sets left for kicks. I also have an 8" PVM I got at a thrift store recently but I need to sell it, it's just in storage right now. Your apocalypse scenario sounds extremely comfy.

all of these are godtier

>>7888914
H3h3 really went to shit lately lol. I want that setup

Moved in like 15 months ago, just getting to setting up the retro game room now. When this day started this was room was wall to wall boxes and other crap from moving. Still looks like a mess but so much progress was made. Kinda wish I painted first but I figure i'll get around to that later.

>>7888565
Well here's a pic of a battle station no one should buy.

>>7889257
this is the most seething image I've ever seen

>>7889258
Because it makes you seethe? Okay then.

>>7889258

>overpaying for a shitbox

why are misterfags like this?
ebay has them well over the cost of actual hardware until you sperg over microcomputers

>>7889241
its gonna be great anon
post another WiP pic

>get gameroom all set up
>fairly orderly
>it goes to shit because I have extremely low energy
>too overwhelmed to clean it up

>>7889951
Absolutely, plan to take a pic after every major thing is done. Gonna hang the flat screen on the wall later today and sort more of the big boxes

>>7889950
Indeed. They shill this overpriced piece of crap way too much on /vr/.

>>7889241
It looks like a midgame scene from a VN

>>7888918
i always wondered what that kid planned to do when he had to pee. maybe it was like that south park episode where cartman's mom held a bedpan under him.

I want to put together a few racks like this for the SFC and N64. What is this stuff called? Is it something stupid obvious I can't find on amazon?

Thanks fellas, I know this is an easy question but it's hard to know everything about everything ever.

>>7888565
those screens seem too small for a living room couch setup and that flat panel looks like a neckache

>>7888565

>>7890956
The Reddit-rack.

>>7888565

>>7888908
extremely comfy

>>7889956
believe in yourself

>>7890956
theres a neat drawer style on for n64 very expensive for what it is
get a vhs case for cheaper
or 8track case for gen2 stuff
better yet, stash all the games out of site


>>7890969
i miss my heavy sony so much
maybe get a bigger/sturdier stand

>>7891176

i use those drawers tubs too but hide them

>>7891412
>VLC videos on loops
For what purpose?

>>7891484
serves no functional purpose whatsoever
it just looks neat
steam wallpaper engine is also used

>>7891496
i sometimes make a videoplaylist on vlc of my captures of myself playing and leave them running while i fall asleep

its kinda comfy

>>7891483
the xegs and jag were the last "consoles" i was missing

im not well versed on microcomputers- but brewing academy has a neat everdrive style solution that i'll probably be ordering soon

graphically its like a slightly better 5200 with nice sound

xegs exclusive library is small
but i gravitate towards shooters as im often v busy with work

>>7891513
The UNO Cart? I have one for my XLs, highly recommend it. It's the best cost / performance ratio for A8 flash carts, especially if you're mainly looking to game.

>>7891412
What the fuck is this cringe?

"ultimate" i need one that can work with other 800/ST systems later on
ill definitely pick one up
its just im moving soon

>>7891987
Oh nice, the Ultimate is radical. I didn't need all the features so I went with the UNO. I'm probably going to get a Fujinet soon which will pretty much cover every base I can imagine.

How do you reduce dust? Do I really have to swipe everything every 3 days to keep the dust from piling up?

>>7892129
>responds to literally a question in the thread

stop being a sperg lol
i use the pc to play complete libraries of /vr/ shit genius

imagine hating rgb this much

>>7892158
dust is our reminder to be grateful for what we have & take care of our limited time in this fleeting existence

i dust about once a week and reminisce on the past

>>7892012
ill check the uno out
i want the complete xegs library all at once on there haha

>>7892298
The uno will do that, it's mainly a cartridge and XEX device, but it has limited ATR disk image support. I have the whole XEGS library and pretty much every other cart game and misc software I want. As well as an ass ton of games in XEX format. It's also super affordable.

/vr/ is becoming more reddit than /v/.

Not referring to this thread.

>>7888594

>>7892363

>>7892384
I do not care about the janitors retarded obsession against everything possibly off topic. It's just since sixth gen the redditors have come here.

>>7892363
/v/ isn't even reddit its just underage

>>7892384
Do you play the Atari 7800 very often? Any interest in the Jaguar despite the insane prices?

>>7891987
Are you at least a cute tranny?

>>7892398
Did a redditor fuck your mom or something?

>>7889241
god damn thats a huge TV

>>7892440
My father actually owns a reddit account which he made in 2005 or 2006 because he thought that he would need it like he needed an email for work. He never actually used it though. So technically yes.

>>7892421
this is gonna sound fake and gay
but im hot in real life &

the exclusives are hit and miss on the 7800 - recommended still because of how it looks & 2600 compatibility

i got it CiB for $35 on craigslist
get a different controller
hyperkins or build one its not hard

>>7892446
Dang you must be young if your dad uses the internet. My dad can hardly use a remote control.

>>7892451
If you work in a serious business environment you're sort of made to, regardless of age. A lot of business were using the internet back then.

>>7892459
True. My dad is a doctor and up until about 2 years ago, everything was done on paper. He has no interest in computers.

>>7892460
That's unfortunate that he was forced to change. I hate the internet and I hope some sort of mass society collapse happens soon so it can be destroyed by lack of maintenance.

>>7892449
i'm gay for you already bro :3

>>7888565
i like alternate color PS2s
I remember seeing an ad in a magazine as a kid about a whole bunch of different colored PS2s for halloween but I cant find any proof of them even existing now

t. coomlectors mad I'm not participating in the fucked up retro games market.

I could drive to my parent's house and get the Genesis/NES out of their attic (I plan to do it before they move again) but honestly, why bother? Old ass systems emulate perfectly. I want to *play* the games. I don't need to deal with my old scratched PS1 discs.

>>7892493
>coomlectors
Why do -oomerfags have to force their unfunny forced meme into literally everything?

>>7892502
what an odd thing to raid a board for

Bit messy, it's enough for me though.

>>7892529
They were originally no-fappers, they thought that by forcing yet another ugly wojak edit that it would cause more to join their weird cult. At some point later on they decided to start forcing those cringy x year old -oomer labelled self-insert images. Possibly the worst forced meme to happen to this website.

that white text needs to say episode VII so badly haha

the shelving reminds me of my neighbors house / my good memories made as a kid swapping games

>>7892469
they're real i dunno about orange though

>>7892493
i dont think im a "coomlector"
i enjoy repairing/maintenance on old electronics +sharing games with my nephews & niece

i do burned discs and flashcarts

>>7892595
Agreed, I love the poster outside of that. Crossover stuff is fun to me.

And for sure, my bros and I had shelving like that growing up so its nostalgic in a different sense for me. Good times.

>>7891395
>maybe get a bigger/sturdier stand
i reinforced it with a 2x4 below the top. it's sturdy af now =)

>>7892665
not sure if youre making fun of my cutting board i used under the aquarium or not since i cant see your 2x4 in your photo haha

saltwater is highly corrosive & the board underneath gives it some "flex" so the glass doesn't stress-crack over time


i test my crt furniture by standing on it lmao

I'm thinking of moving this setup to a different room in my house. This basement room's a bit too dark and musty.

>>7892725
Lights and a humidifier my guy. But if you have the space somewhere else then do you.
Better to leave a dark musty room for storage than try to live in it.

>>7888597
Man I'd love a small tv like this on my desk.
What model is this?

>>7890956
My nigger, you'll want to get into some 3d printed stuff and customize something as a base. You'll be overpaying for anything niche and specialty made out of metal.

>>7892725
Aren't basements prone to flooding as well? I've never understood why people start their epic gamer rooms in one of the most vulnerable rooms in a house.

>>7892484

Nice MIDINES.

>>7892706
no i'm dead serious. TV is 100 pounds and i'm about 180 and the thing can handle me fine i made for damn sure because i will never find another trinny like that in 10 lifetimes.

>>7892158
Get a duster, wiping now takes 10 seconds. Pledging your consoles helps

>>7890969

>>7888565
The sound from the tv is mono but i use the optical out of a ps2 to go into a DAC and play with stereo headphones.

>>7892725
replacing the carpets, painting the walls to something dark, and working on the lighting situation will work wonders. the dark is counter intuitive but if you have a windowless (or nearly) basement no amount of tapioca wall color is going to make it better. and that failure will only make it look worse. so go dark and just set up good lighting through lamps or a few targeted ceiling lights.

yeah I moved in December, I made sure I painted every room before setting stuff up when I could. Cause I know once that shelving is up, and things are setup, I'll never have another chance to paint, hah.

Kinda wish we did that, are closing date was close to our apartment lease ending.

>>7893214
mine turned out to leak during the spring, the old homeowner never disclosed that, the cunt. We had the foundation completely redone right after we bought the house. This spring our basement was dry as a bone. It also doesn't take much to cool a basement room during the summer.
>>7895683
that's a good idea, replacing the carpet would definitely cut down on the stale air.

>>7895821
My dad ordered me one for my birthday a million years ago —he wouldn't ship so my dad opened a PayPal dispute and he sent right away. I sold it a couple years back for something like double what it cost. Catskull Electronics makes one now that's readily available and looks to be better anyway. Fun device but I found it kind of a pain in the ass to do anything cool with.

Let's see your sound system.

>>7899484
It's pretty basic, just 2.1 sound.

I have an HK AVR245 receiver in the first image, some matching small HK speakers, and a 10" Infinity sub.

I have much better speakers (Yamaha NS-10 Monitors), but no room to set them up at the moment.

It's pretty good for all the retro stuff, but I do want to get my monitors set up again when I can spread out my stuff to the living room downstairs.

>>7899496
I paid $50 for the sub from a pawn shop, and the amp, speakers, and monitors were all free from friends.

It's all I need, but to be honest the amp is kind of shitty. If really like to get a nice Sansui amp from the 70s or 80s as my permanent piece.
