>>926231
sadly, there are THOSE people on /vr/ too

Do excuse the cables.

Just incase anybody wonders why I have a Famicom Disk System without the Famicom, it's because I love the way it looks, but wasn't so wild about the Famicom itself.
I bought a broken one and fitted it with a raspberry pi and USB ports to take Buffalo Famicom controllers- It's like emulating on original hardware but I get hdmi output, so the Master System, NES, SNES and Megadrive aren't used very much these days..

>>926237
actually i like the setup

probably should retake this picture as i have bought a turbografx 16 since this was taken. quickly running out of viable space though leaving it a tad cluttered but overall super comfy.

>>926234

people who aren't weirdos who go into pants-shitting convulsions over ports to modern systems?

good

>note: the 360 was a gift, it's only used for netflix

Do you seriously have to justify purchasing a newer generation console? It's fine.

>>926278
>dat pokémon VCR.

Really cool setup, looks super comfy!

>>926278
What I wouldn't give to go back to an attic room with a sloping roof I was always hitting my head on, a single bed and all my old videogames.

At the time I probably looked forward to my own flat with a job that allowed me to pay for a double bed and new games...

>>926278
now this is the closest to a legit retro set up in this thread

>>926291
>purchasing
just said it was a gift.
not trying to justify owning it either, but hinting i'm not an xbro
if you assume you make an ass out of u and me

I really wish I could come up with a nice setup that wasn't so cramped.

Mines to messy to take a pic, as I have way tp many systems. ( 2 nes (one is a av modded toploader), snes, 2 genesis (1 model 1 and a model 2), a sega cd for the model 2, a s video modded 32x,3 fat ps1s (one has a mod chip in it), 2 slim psone (one has the lcd screen),a n64, a gameboy, gameboy pocket, gbc, gba, 2 gba sps, 2 softmoddex xboxs (origional), 2 platium gamecubes (one has the gameboy player), a fat and slim ps2, and a ps3. And I don't have enough space to hook one pf each console up, fells bad man.

>>926337
the layout all revolves around the table or desk you use. best thing to do it build one

>>926337
What size is that PVM?

>>926350
that's a 20, well 19 inch I'm guessing

my retro setup.

>>926340
I know, I've been planning to, but can't come up with a nice looking, but simple design that would work. Open to suggestions though.

>>926350
>>926353
It is indeed a 20(19)inch. 20M2MDU

>>926361
well the table in >>926237 is a good example
first, take the number of consoles you have, and divide them into a number of rows, no more than 3.

then 'staircase' the table out ward towards the room. this would allow plenty of room for top loader and cd trays that pop up. also, the staircase would allow a lot of room to hide ugly cables, and an a/v switchbox.

I'll have to find a bigger box to put in front of all those cables. And maybe take a picture without the flash so the walls don't come out bleached white.

>>926180
I like your setup OP. Makes me want to get a table like that.

>>926337
SNES with no controller plugged in...


WHAT THE SORCERY IS THIS?!

>>926332
You done assumd

I'll post it in a series of images.

Everything is hooked up through RGB, except from the NES and N64 which are hooked up through composite and S-Video respectively.

Two boxes on the left of the TV are 5-port RGB splitters.

>>926548

>>926552

I know right? I got the CD for £20 a few years ago boxed. Managed to (stupidly) blow the fuse a little while ago so I need to fix that.

i'm currently searching for a great crt for when i build a 'retro room' complete with wood paneling on the walls, shag carpeting, and late 70's furniture. i'll be sitting there in my dukes, with my golden mullet, sipping on nesquik as i laugh at the thought you wish you were as cool as me.

>>926876
My ID is Gooples, I'll probably add you if I didn't a while ago from the /vg/ list.
Your room looks comfy as fuck by the way, what's the keypad thing on the wall for?

Mine

>>926889
oh that? i took that down. it's a 1973 electric calculator that i left there for no real reason, once the batteries died i took it down due to not wanting to go buy more C batteries. (damn thing takes 4 of them)

i don't frequent /vg/ so likely i am not on that list.

>>926180
why do you bother with those two gamecubes if you have a wii?

>>926980
>not having to use full retard shitty wiimote
>not having the awesome GC boot screen
>not looking pro as fuck
I use a gamecube over my Wii, too.

>>926980
>>926993
Well the black cube is mine, the silver one is my fiance's

Plus, the gamecube boots games quicker

>>926980

I have 2 Gamecubes and 2 Wii's hooked up in my house right now. Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Why are you being so defensive about owning a 360, and why are you paying an XBL subscription on top of a netflix subscription if you don't use the thing to play video games?

>>927051
I don't pay for live. The xbox is my fiance's and she's the one who plays games on it mostly. Not even being defensive. Like I said before, it's to keep you from assuming I'm a 360 fan, not that it matters since you assumed something more far-fetched anyway. Good on you, sir.

>>926180
Nah the 360 is deffinitly used to game. If you netflixed on it, you would know you'd have to pay per month for gold to even use that service.

If you pay for gold you're the worst.
Not saying it's bad, but you are the worst.

Need a proper tv stand

Been waiting for a decent one on craigslist lately but no money right now sadly....

>>926278
>Dat setup

>>926337
mirin' gxtv

I also use one. My setup is undeserving of a photo, though: just the TV and an SCPH-5501. I generally keep only one console out at a time to reduce clutter, which is fine because PSX has the games that interest me most at the moment. I run IMBNES on it from time to time.

>>927492
refer to
>>927114

>>926897
What's is that on top of your Gamecube?

>>927114
>not that it matters since you assumed something more far-fetched anyway
It's not far-fetched to assume that someone who claims to only use their 360 for netflix would be paying for the subscription necessary to use netflix.

No need to be so insecure on an anonymous image board. Very few people, if anyone at all, would have even cared that you had a 360 in the first place, that was just a retarded assumption on your part.

>>929143
whatever you say, king of 4chan.
you obviously know it all.

>>926180
>paying an XBL subscription fee on top of your Netflix subscription fee

This isn't my battle station, but I saved this picture off of /vr/ because it looks comfy as fuck.

>>929206

Where did you get all of your shelving from?

>>929245
He said right there that it's not his picture.

Mine's a fucking mess here, it's usually neater, I just haven't bothered to take a more recent picture yet.

>>929245
Yeah, not my pic but I'm sure Ikea has something similar to that.

Usually battlestation threads make me envious, but now I just want to visit your guys' houses and play some vidya

>>929093
Looks like it's a folded down GaeCube screen, like this one.

I haven't purchased another SNES yet...

>>926278
that is fucking nice

Posting it again.

Yes, I need to build shelves eventually. Also will need to take a picture of the rest of my handhelds eventually, they're all put away.

>>929339
sage for non-retro, but since it's right there, were there ever any good GCN-mountable screens? I had one with aux S-video input and it was horrible crap.

It's kind of hard to keep just /vr/ stuff in the shot since it's mostly shelves full of /toy/ related stuff up in my loft (along with my bed).

This is my main /vr/ tv and where I keep my NES and Genny when I'm not playing them. There's a shelf full of Saturn and PS2 games in the background. Not pictured: my N64 and a tray of ~30 games off to the right in a little cubby hole.

Also, sorry for the low light, it's getting dark here.

1/2

The left side of my loft.

Genesis, NES, PSX and PS2 games.

Also not pictured: my Saturn, DC and SNES chillin' in a little box at the foot of the bed.

And yes, that is roll of TP (I was rubbing down some carts with rubbing alcohol) and no Old Joseph isn't always there.

>>930301

Your shit is messy as shit. Clean it up.

>saging for someone else's post.
i bet you don't even know how to sage or what it even does

Can someone help me plan out my alcove?
I have a Gamecube that I want to hook up to a monitor, but that only has VGA in. I'm going to have to get a converter, right?
Do you guys have any suggestions for brands or products to do so?

Here's mine.

>>930459
I'll try to be diplomatic here.

I saged my *own* post because I followed along an off-topic tangent with a question. I'm not anticipating that it will be of use to anyone else ITT.

Now do you know if there were any good portable screens for the post-/vr/ system known as the "GameCube" or not?

>>930461

It's a little messy right now. Mostly my /toy/ shelves need reorganizing.

Yeah, I need to de-clutter and dust. Especially that lamp...

So that's all for now.

Cool. B)

+5 for picking the right TV to go with each of your consoles.

>>926337

>gxtv

the marketing for that motherfucker back in the late 90's... played sega saturn with one finally about a year ago, it was bretty cool.

>>932403

What? Why?

What about when you're not playing them?

Moving bedrooms so this is all I have atm

PS3 is connected to a HDTV on the bookshelf beside that

>>932653
>Giant pile of books next to dat crowded power strip

Seriously?

heres mine yo

>>932397
Posted it before, but this still amuses me.
I got it for free too, together with all these games and a ps2.And I can't even use it since I'm in Europe. But it looks so sexy.

>>926356
Pretty nice but you need to get rid of those cables.

>>932653
is that Shining Force CD?

mother fucker`

Here's some of my stuff. Mostly everything is plugged in and ready to go. My games are all organized in big plastic storage shelf things. Same with controllers etc. Minus the old ones on top of my shelf, all the boxes for my systems are in one of my extra closets, I wish I had room for them though to display. This shelf is my main retro shelf, my older stuff coming next.

>>935592
Atari age stuff here. Along with my current gen consoles. My Wii is in my living room, we use it for Netflix.

>>935592
>>935596
couldn't hit rotate before you posted, faggot?

please kill yourself.

>>935602
If you have image expansion enabled, it rotates it automatically. I'm on a tablet right now, so it's being gay. You seem a little upset.

Here is my Handheld shelf. With games etc too, along with extra consoles I didn't put away yet.

>>935627
God damn do you think that's going to be enough gameboys?

>>935602
Woah man. We all make mistakes. Just chill okay?

Any tips for organizing cords? Should I just stick to ties of sorts?

Also with shelves that have backs to them do you just drill holes in the back so you can stick cords through them?

I'm in the middle of reorganizing my setup and i'm curious.

>>935635
I'm trying to get 16 DMGs so I can have a 16 player game of FaceBall. I'm pretty sure I can summon the ghost of Gunpei Yokoi if I manage to get it to work.

I just use rubberbands to wrap up really long cords, and wire ties to keep them all together.

>>935791
>cable turtles

looked it up. neat.

Here's mine, it's looking kind of messy right now.

I don't know if you can see it, but there's a picture of 4-year old me sitting on an OutRun cabinet somewhere in there.

I'd do some type of wall art with them, making sure to keep them all usable and such of course.

>>936589
My sister has that same AV switchbox.

>>936985
Why the fuck does your sister play video games?

>>936989
Is she not allowed?

/vr/ wise, she is (or was) into the genesis Sonic games, DKC1-3, SMW, and MMX1; Though all she tends to play anymore are zombie related games. Really liked Operation Raccoon City and RE6

I'm gonna take a picture of mine. One second.

I was born in 95' I was hardly in the 5th generation of consoles; but I love my N64 and PS1.

This TV has great color and has a bit of a story behind it if anyone wants to know.

Here it is, let me know what you think!

>netflix

im sorry to hear you dont have internet OP

>>937981
Nice setup, could use a CRT but I respect the Majora's Mask and the Dreamcast.

>>938320
When I get some money I'll invest in that, I also want to get a Dreamcast regardless if it's not retro quite yet.

Pardon the image quality

>>938258
I just never through anything out since I was a kid, never lent anything out or gave anything away, over the years I started to inherit a bit of of my brothers few consoles then one day he decided to move out and shit was everywhere and I picked up the left over consoles and games lying on the floor before they went out in the trash, then theres going to markets and oppotunity shops been in the right places at the right times, but its mainly just collecting over the years and not letting go of anything.

I hate managing my cables. Damn all those AC-adapters.

>>938713
At least you can use the same AC cable for almost all of nintendo's consoles, if you don't mind switching them manually.

>>932110
actually, we've decided to cancel my fiance's live account and sell the xbox. we got the highest speed internet we could find and now use the wii for netflix

>>938774
What the shit are you talking about? The only cross-compatible AC adapters on the Nintendo side are the Virtual Boy and the SNES. EVERYTHING else uses different connectors, if not different voltages, and the NES uses goddamn AC instead of DC.

>>938293
wouldn't the controller chords get in the way of the Tv?

>>938793
>Virtual Boy and the SNES
Forgetting the Famicom on the list on console in the universal adapter master race.

I hate these threads because they always fill me with self-loathing for selling all my games as a kid. SOME DAY I'LL BUY EM ALL BACK

>>941198
Oh shit! Sonic Skateboard! Did you have Rouge and Amy Tennis?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7Q0_DgXHG0

>>941180
It's actually not a Halo Edition Xbox. It's just spray painted green.

The Halo Xbox has translucent plastic casing. I actually just modded my friend's Halo Xbox and was like "Man, this thing looks way better than my paint job, haha"

>>941323
Oh cool! I can tell now that you pointed it out. At a glance, it looks pretty similar.

>>938204
I have the same wii. Oddly enough I had an older broken wii with a working dvd drive, so I swapped it out and now it plays dvd movies and gamecube games. Shame there's no ports though, so it's pointless anyways...

>>941198
Oh, shit. I didn't even notice the oscilloscope in front of my fucking face your first pic. What do you use if for, anon?

Also, milky MGB. Nice.

>>938204
>firmware-stripped DVD-Drive
What does this mean?

>>941591
It only reads a very specific type of disc. In this case it excludes gamecube discs. They also won't work with DVD movies like the older wii drives did. Via hacks of course.

>>941604
Well in that case, that's not entirely true (unless you're talking about your black Wii specifically). I got a black Wii when they first came out in the US and it supports GameCube. Later on, /all/ Wiis were stripped of GC support.

not pictured: the N64 that's sitting on top of the PVM currently. Playstation and Saturn are modded

>>941645
oh and the (both hard and soft modded) Wii I have hooked up via component

>>941626
I am talking about my wii specifically, since I swapped the newer drive out for an older one. Again, since the newer wiis lack gamecube ports, I merely did this for the purposes of being groovy.

>>939145
He's referring to piracy I think.

Ignore the shitty lighting. And shitty everything else. Didn't realize it was so blurry when I was taking it.
