/vr/ - Retro Games

Get a drawer for the controllers man.

Here's a terrible picture of my "desk" from around 2008 that I found on an old photobucket account a couple months ago. Talk about a mess.

Can you identify some of these pixels are?

>>8439329
Lovely telly and anime mags, but
>all those physical games
Glad I went the everdrive and ODE route instead. Once I mod a fat PS2 I'll be set for a long time.

And man tidy up those controllers.

>>8439495
>all those physical games
Whats wrong with that?

>>8439604
he's poor and seething, many such cases.

>>8439329
Where's the Dreamcast?

>>8439495
Might as well complain he's not using an ereader you inconsistent nigger

This isn't a legit setup, I only have it like this for the photo op (although I might keep in this spot later once I'm actually ready to set it up for real).

Also the PC is probably too new for /vr/ (it's built with 2008-ish parts).

Ignore the RGB, I attached a Dell AT101W after this was taken.

Same. The past 15 years have been very lonely.

>>8439604
Nothing man, I personally just don't like having dressers or walls full of physical media (specially vidya) on display.
I can't lie, I still have an attachment to my childhood media though. I haven't gotten rid of them. I have lots of games and movies sitting in a closet, but as long as I don't need the space for anything else they're chilling in there.

>>8439605
>>8439623
No need to be a weirdo.

>>8439495
>>8439354
Yeah I know they're a mess. They used to be in those drawers in that little thing off to the right but they got totally displaced eventually by the SNES/Genesis/NES/N64 games in there. Does anyone have a good solution for storing controllers? I'd love to have them out and available vs piled up in a bin, or worse--piled up in a pile.

>>8439329

>>8440009
I did! It's right next to all of this stuff, I'm running a 2070. I really liked emulating, especially when I was using OpenEmu on a mac, but it's just a lot of fun to have my old TV and all of this stuff. I have kids, so we play down here together and when we have family over people like to come and play games and stuff.

>>8440094
God, sweet fucking Pico dude. I had one of those when I was little and I've never even seen one since.

Dimension 3000 from 2005, with some upgrading it can be surprisingly good at even emulation. I mostly use it for old windows and DOS games, once I get the gpu in soon, I’ll use the 5” color tv in the photo for emulation from the computer, as the gpu has s-video out.

>>8439329
Nice speakers. Horrendous placement, and I think you have the left/right channels reversed.

>>8440097
nice set up but being beside an outside door would make me paranoid about being robbed

>>8440571
Discords for local friendships? Everyone I meet there is thousands of miles away, or a total faggot in some way. Conventions are once again MIA due to COVID, with everything that was starting up again killed off by omicron variant spreading like oil over water.

I think it's just being an adult and not being in school anymore. You spend more time focusing on developing your career and your family, and in my case, no one in my circle cares about this shit except me, barring friends who live thousands of miles away. Sucks man, but I guess that's life. Makes sense why people are into sports and religion; It's an easy framework around which one can build bonds between themselves without trying too hard. Doing something which is both heavily introverted and which is an uncommon hobby for older people (and then being picky about which games you play too, thus further narrowing your options) makes for a difficult job of finding people. Ah, but this is not battlestations, so I won't speak further of it.

>>8440781
Stop posting this garbage normie / tranns tier setup.

>>8440554
Really? I have three others under the one desk next to the tv, i use to seem to find them a lot at thrift stores. I have 2 different models, 2 with the handle on top and colored logo and two without and colorless logo. I also have a 5th one i got for 1yen from a Japanese auction site, the yellow pikachu edition. Of course shipping and proxy fees ended up costing me like 90 dollars.

>>8440583
Thanks, they are all just ones i found in either magazines or inserts inside game boxes. Running out of wall space and still haven't found a good means to hang stuff on the ceiling.

>>8440563
Damn thought that was a microwave for a sec, thats color? I would love one that small that does color for ZX Spectrum and other microcomputer stuff. I gave three tiny ones but they are all black and white.

It’s a General Electric Spacemaker from 1991. Coaxial and twin-lead, pretty low resolution, but nice color. Got it from some Mexican thrift store with bars on its windows and doors, while on a trip to Fort Worth.

What's wrong with soundbars.

>>8441285
I will always hate you. You included my picture in your list of shame once when I had 7 visible speakers.

>>8440565
The channels are right, but I know the placement is probably not perfect. How should they be? Should I put them on little shelves right behind the TV, one off to the left and one to the right? And then should I have them on risers so they're pointing up still, or should they be pointing towards me and the ground?

>>8441831

>>8441853
alright that's about what I figured just like a stereo then. I've been meaning to order some speaker stands since way back when my turntable was set up so I might as well do it now.

>>8440650
>everything that was starting up again killed off by $new_variant spreading like oil over water
Wash, rinse, repeat.

>>8440781
Ultimately I think this is actually a nice setup. I wouldn't choose to have my CRT and old games at my desk because part of the reason I have that stuff in the first place is to get away from my desk, but at least this is decorated. Nice foliage.

>>8440781
What is your primary use for the monitor that's tilted 90 degrees? I do that sometimes to look at scans of old magazines but that's all.

>>8439613

Where are you from?

>>8439613
I had a Dreamcast previously but ended up hocking it a few years ago when I needed some quick cash. I hadn't modded it and didn't own much for it so it went out the window. I am planning on picking one up this year, although I still don't know whether I wanna mod it or just burn my own discs and make dorky little custom cases with manual printouts.

>>8441285
>needing external speakers for non cd 16bit stuff

There is literally nothing wrong with soundbars. The are very space efficient and are a solid upgrade from built in speakers.

What's a good way to handle PS1 boxes? I'm collecting JP games I like (because it's cheaper), and I've been having trouble with the fact that there's like 2 sizes: the regular jewel cases we know, and this slightly bigger case. I'm not even counting the long box releases, it's weird that something like Digimon for example, has every case be standard jewel case size, minus Digimon World 3. Do you organize by box type? By series? Do you say fuck it and go alphabetically?
Would love to see some pics of displays, too, to help give me inspiration for my own. Been using some cheap buildable shelf from Amazon just until I can clean up and find the time to buy new furniture.

Unfortunately I seem to only meet people who are either enjoyable company or are into classic games, and never both.

>>8443256
Why fever in particular? Also am I seeing correctly that your TV can display two 480i feeds next to each other, or is that some other weird fuckery? Gotta say that is a cool ass PIP feature.

Please tell me what Panasonic that is, it looks adorable. It's so small!

>>8444416
It's a CPT-1050r. It's pretty neat, it's really sharp.

>>8444426
CTP you mean? And it looks great, yeah. Shame it's component only, since my holy grail is a small crt with S-Video. Helps with my motion sickness

>>8444431
Yeah, maybe it's that. I don't like to remove it so I just took a quick glance, may have remembered the order wrong.

I don't have any TVs with an S Video input. I have another CRT in my main room but it's not as sharp as this one, N64 looks better on this TV than my main one, more pixels.

Fuck off it's fine, there's space between the wall and the consoles and there's a fan

I've posted this before.
Most notable change is I took of all the backing boards and cut bigger holes out to accommodate the various depths power and video signal wires so they'd sit further back on the shelves.
Also I reorganized the cables for power and signal so they weren't so messy.

>>8444492

>>8443967
Fever is cool because it’s on a bunch of platforms. And I’ve got it on all of them.
Unfortunately I don’t have all of the consoles to display every port of tsu running at once :P

And yeah it has a PIP mode built in.

The screen on the left can be any resolution. But the one on the right is limited to standard def.

It just halves the vertical resolution of both images and puts them side by side. Then you hear the audio of whatever is selected. It’s pretty handy for watching TV while gaming and stuff

The TV is a kv34xbr960. It’s what ow oils consider the absolute best of the best when it comes to consumer CRT TVs. And is certainly the best for anything that size.

People seem to overlook them because they aren’t natively very good for 240p and interlaced video. Being laggy and fugly

But with a retrotink 5X, the TV can do a pixel perfect lagless display (with real scanlines where applicable) of anything from 240p to 1080i. It’s effectively a big ass 34 inch 16:9 multi-scan monitor now. And I love it

Majority of these battlestations are aesthetically unpleasing and reek of manchild nostalgia cope. Whereas mine is pure aesthetic and consumerism-tier. Couldn't really tell you what's worse, but I can tell you I'm not trying to simulate my childhood. Because I didn't grow up with most of these games! HAHA!

I know this is probably bait, but that's fair.
There's a nice satisfying feeling, being able to have your room be a reflection of a time or a mood you love. Having things be organized and pretty makes me feel all the more comfy sleeping and waking up in it.
Weirdly enough, I've been focusing on a PS1 collection, even though I totally missed that trend as a kid. It just really resonates with me now, and that time period of the late 90s. With it and the GBC displays I'm planning, it feels like I'm recreating something that I missed out of from my childhood, cuz I was poor as shit
That said, two walls worth of shelves feels like more of a liability than anything else. It's impressive, but that's a fuckton of games.

Lived in the same house all these years? Your family must have a lot of houses to afford to pass it down to ya. That or mansion, I'm guessing?

>>8445706
No, i moved in with my grandmother, she died, i kept the house. My parents worked a lot so as a child i stayed with my grandma most non school days and i had my own room at her house since she had no other grandkids. House is actually pretty small, but comfy.

>>8445721
That's really heartwarming, anon. Hope you spent some nice time with her, and that she didn't suffer too much.

>>8440001
Move the magazines, put a few cloth storage boxes, and organize the controllers and put em in there. Drape a towel or something above them to protect from dust.

Also, sweep the floor and put down some area rugs.

>>8444648
Its a sony kv-27ts21. Has some geometry issues but I'll get that sorted out one of these days.

>>8445729
I did, but bad times as well since i moved in with her after high school to take care to help her out after recovering from a broken leg, but she quickly began to develop dementia related issues. Add that with the fact she did have anger and emotional issues, it resulted in some tiresome days (like when she came at me with a knife or literally flooded the house from the top floor due to not knowing how to turn off the bathroom sink) I was dissapointed when my mom (her daughter) put her in a memory care facility and she always wanted to come home. I tried to convince my mom to let her, but she never did. At least she was only there for a year before she died so she got to keep being in her home longer than most. Had some rough times with her as a kid too, but even those i can look back on with humor now and there were certainly many good memories i miss with her.

It's not hooked up right now. Just filling space. It actually has a fried HDMI port so it's component, composite only.

>>8446862
It also isn't the most desirable fat PS3. It's a CECHH01. It sat most of it's life since lightning hit behind my house and we thought it was dead since a bunch of computers got fried from that and the PS3 stopped displaying. So it ended up with some other junk until years later I went to see what was wrong with it and hooked it up with component and it worked fine. Got all my saves off it and it's sat in that spot since.

You know in a way I loosely mocked people going right for nostalgia, but I too am just filling the gap of what I missed out on as a child. I was born in '96, but my family was poor so I had a lot of memories of older things and expectations about what cool things would be around when I grew up, then it went to shit and the quality dipped. So now I just play all the things I wish I could've when I was younger.

Got so sick and tired of modern videogames that I dug out the iMac I completely forgotten I had and started emulating only a couple of weeks ago. Plan on getting a CRT once I move in with my siblings sometime next year since I don’t want my parents to complain about me wasting money, especially since I’ve bought retro videogames and consoles and repeatedly sell them

>>8447215

Maximal setups are shi. I’ve moved through several apartments, rooms, and houses over the years and I find storing things and pulling them out is the best setup. Less clutter and you can focus on the game/system you want to play. The exception are some brittle computers and displays that I don’t want to move around much

>>8441174
oh, isn't it Iron Soldier 3?!
absolutely based.
Also comfy setup.

>>8447859
Me as well. I only have really one friend I play retro shit with anyway and its usually not on anything obscure I gotta dig out, so pulling out an extra console I have and playing it down in a bigger room if I really need to is no problem.

Also for nostalgia sake, it captures more of that feel of when you were a kid in your bedroom playing this stuff.

Here is where I'm at on wire management. Mounted this board to the back of my entertainment center, gonna mount my gscartsw and gcompsw to it along with two power strips. Then spend a lot of time getting the wires straight and hooked up. Moving my retro setup has been such a pain, now that I got my house and I'm not planning to move for a while I wanna get it dailed in.

My situation so far. I started like two years ago and I still got a long way to go. Can't wait to move to my new house where I can finally arrange a room entirely dedicated to this stuff.

Those aren't studio monitors, really doesn't matter in this case. The way yours are is fine, just put them next and not on top of the CRT. You'd have more wiggle room with sitting.
Perfectly positioned and angled speakers only really make sense with monitors in a situation where you sit perfectly in one spot all the time, like behind a computer.

I think building is the way to go just because I've tried to do my retrooming off of a Goodwill computer before and it ended up breaking in under a year. Having said that, I'm not sure where is the best place to get parts.

I wish I could get away with daily driving a setup with a 1280x1024 monitor, but I simply do too much crap in Photoshop for that to be viable for me, plus there are a few non-/vr/ games I play that are widescreen only and look like shit when played with letterboxes.

DOS - Win9x yes, but for XP games everything runs either fine native in Win10 or with patches or wrappers, where Win9x games require sometimes more work, even though Win10 is decent with backwards compatibility, many Windows games from even the mid 90's run fine.

Surprisingly, I've found the entire thing to be pretty consistent. No real favourite seasons although I did find the first two seasons a struggle to watch just because it was still new and I was getting used to watching it.

Once Season 3 hit I was really into it and I've enjoyed it since, no really shit episodes I can recall even though there have been a few episodes where I haven't laughed but found the story interesting enough.

here is mine, PS1 and PS2 on the left and PS3 and PS4 on the middle. No PS5 and PS Vita is in my drawer. My games are in my closet because I don’t have any shelves…

As if that's big. 20 is okay as a bedroom TV but I wouldn't settle for anything less than 27 in a living room setup.

Coincidentally, that's where I keep it. It's at the foot of my bed. One day, I'll have a livingroom CRT. I would prefer a Sony consumer set that accepts component for the livingroom.

>>8467972
Why would poor or not poor have anything to do with having a PVM? You can still find them for free.

>>8467932
No, PVMs took off because there are very few SD CRTs available in the US that support RGB. PVMs are the most widely available and can/could be had for free since video production and broadcast houses blew them out.
Doesn’t apply to anybody who’s fine using RF with a wood panel TV from 1981.

>required blur

>>8468029
Then why are they popular in Europe too even though almost every concumer set has RGB?

>>8468029
You don't need RGB though. Most consoles they are used for don't even natively support RGB.
Your argument is that people bought PVMs for RGB because they wanted to RGB mod? No, RGB mods weren't even popular 15-10 years ago when PVM meme already started.

>>8468057

>>8468029
That and the fact they were basically unobtainium back in the days of analog TV. PVMs and BVMs were literal professsional-grade monitors and cost tens of thousands when new. So even though $2500 or whatever the asking price is now is ridiculous if it's in very good condition it might be justifiable. But most of the ones that work today have already been used heavily by whatever facility owned it and maybe more by whoever gamed on it.

wouldnt you need the lower screen to be touch sensitive?

>>8469063
Depends on the game, using a tablet meant I could tap the bottom screen if I wanted to but I never really needed it outside of checking different floors of a map in SMTIV.

I think you can also make a certain location on the touch screen correspond with a button combination. So if you needed to touch the top right of the touch screen you could make "Select + Up" press the top right of the screen for you. Depends on the emulator though, I think Desmume has something like that.

>>8457456
if you don't like being audiocucked
buy speakers that aren't complete ass
it really does make a difference

>>8468663

>>8468663
No one's talking about 7.1 here. A good stereo setup is better and more useful than whatever surround sound meme is going around atm. Many people learned that the hard way after spending a shitton of money on home theater equipment in the early 2000s and realizing that music sounds like shit on it. There's a reason we've been seeing a resurgence of stereo on the market for the past ~10 years.

>>8468057
They buy them now for that reason you dumb nigger. Why are you thinking 10-15 years in the past you stunted manchild.

>>8468508
But I use a PVM with my computer for emulation...

I agree that many people overlook audio in their setups, either using the tinny dogshit speakers in flat panel displays or the dogshit small mono speaker in PVMs.

However, the large living room Trinitrons had space for large speakers of pretty damn good quality. If someone is using a CRR in the 24-36" range the built in audio is good enough where an external system really isn't necessary if they don't want to deal with it

I have nice stereo speakers inside my /vr/ CRT. Yet people think I have no audio because they can't see them.
I even replaced the amp and the speakers itself, perfectly fine for /vr/ games, nice wide stereo stage.

Fellas if you live in the U.S. in a relatively developed area I've got a pro tip for you. Hit up the goodwill in the rich part of town first thing in the morning. I have an entire stereo reciever, and sony bookshelf speakers I got to end my audio-cucking for ~20 USD. Insane!

I do use external speakers/receiver because my main setup is a 20" pvmeme and a 32" consumer trinitron with broken speakers. But my point still stands that large consumer trinitrons have good built-in speakers and are NOT audiocucked

did you step out of 2016? I wish this were still the case. At least in my area, shitty untested hifi equipment will be about $40 for a receiver, $40-$80 for speakers that usually have fucked up cones and other problems.

Kek, here you can't throw away tech shit for free, so even online you can get decent brand hi-fi gear for literally free, just have to pick it up yourself.
Got nice matching 90's Sony receiver and speakers for my PVM.

That's how it used to be here and luckily I have quite a few receivers, speakers and tape decks but yeah Goodwill at least caught on with that sort of thing in addition to all their retro game bullshit.

don't feel compelled to justify yourself to the audiophile police. I've gotten the same spergs lashing out at my desktop setup for not having speakers even though I have everything routed through an amp straight into a pair of studio headphones because I don't like playing things out-loud at my desk.

>>8470532
no these spergs lashed at me, and I made it a goal for my setup to fix my audio solution. Once I did I was in sexual bliss having an out of body experience as donkey country music blasted through my apartment.

Why respond to assholes or obvious troll attempts? Just be happy with your room. At the end of the day, we just wanna play some games.
