i'm so jealous of you all, i never thought i'd get nostalgic in my old age. Low and behold though.... My battlestation is pathetic. I don't have a single old system, just my computer. I had a nintendo once, sold it for drugs like a retard. Yea good going on my part. I should kill myself.

Most other systems that I had that were retro though either got lost while moving or weren't mine. This is why you don't buy kids video game systems.

[Anonymous No.3273581]

Just rebuild your collection, slowly over time. Most people, myself included, traded their system and games for next to nothing. Don't give up hope. Everyone makes mistakes.

I started rebuilding my collection by importing consoles and games from Japan via proxy sites like fromjapan/buyee.

You can regularly score shit like famicoms, mega drives, saturns, etc for $20 and lower if you're patient, but they shipping prices can be pretty killer. My last shipment took >$200 to bring over, but I'd say it'd be 20-60 on average. You can run NTSC-U games on most of these consoles without too much trouble.

CIB games are also plentiful and reasonable. Almost have boxed kirbys up to N64 and I don't think I've paid more than $100 so far.

[Anonymous No.3273634]

Yea I can't afford that

[Anonymous No.3273638]

>>3273634
Well, if you're just craving to run stuff off a CRT then worst case you can get a Wii and run emulators off of it. Wii can handle stuff really well through 4th gen, and you can download WADs of the N64 VC library. Most of the good stuff is there.

Most emulators have some sort of 240p mode too, and it pairs quite nicely with a CRT.

[Anonymous No.3273641]

>>3273638
the main issue i have with wii is it has shitty chargers for the wii remotes. I bought one from radio shack and it charges for 3 hours and the battery only lasts for 1. As far as a gamecube controller goes I can never seem to find a working one.

[Anonymous No.3273659]

>>3273641
New gamecube controllers aren't too hard to come by now because of Smash 4. I can't imagine they're more than 25 online.

My suggestion is to just use normal AA batteries and get a classic controller. Be wary of third party ones.

Its an imperfect solution, but its gotten pretty tough these days. Even if you find your holy grail in a thrift store, that's only half the battle. I regularly run into Genesis's and SNES's in the wild that go for 40+ at fucking Goodwill.

Good luck dude. Just remember its all about the games, not how you play them.

[Anonymous No.3273662]

I'm running into the same problems these days because of flash carts and burning discs for real hardware.

It'll always take some matter of self discipline. I try to log what I play and I keep a notebook of high scores and shit. Going through the Wizardry games on the NES/Famicom now and I'm drawing maps. Whatever it takes to keep you invested.

Been too long since a picture's been posted so here's my crappy old setup from forever ago. I was always worried that stand would fall apart. I'll get a more recent pic when I get off of this shift. Sorry for the incredibly shitty camera.

what i really want is a program that takes all of your games that you have and randomizes it for you. Thats the problem i have with having access to so many games is that I don't know which to choose. If i had something that randomly chose for me i'd just do that daily and only play that game for that day

This man knows whats up.

Here's mine, I have a giant 27" Trinitron which sadly is not turning on at the moment. I had it for maybe a week or two. The TV itself had plenty of fixable problems (Convergence, overscan, etc.) and only went up to S-Video, but the picture was damn gorgeous and I only pray I can fix it so I don't have to lug this beast upstairs. I plan on framing a bunch of N64 and SNES game posters to fill up the wall soon.

At my desk I have a 12" Amiga 1080 RGB monitor I found on the street a while back. Cleaned it up a bit and viola. Just ordered an S-Video adapter for it, and I'm in the process of getting RGB cables. My plan is using the desk for one console at a time as to reduce my backlog.

Aside from lacking support for the add-ons and mono audio without modding, the Model 3 Genesis has better video quality and better(albeit mono) audio quality than the Model 2. No issues with different channels not being balanced, and quite nice and clean to listen to. Composite quality is just about as nice as you could hope for out of a Genesis.

That's the wrong Retron for wrong dumping, anon. Only the Retron 5 does that shit. The rest are just regular hardware clones (which I don't have an issue with, I think they're going to keep retro gaming alive into the future).

I didn't know that. I think the retron is fine too, I have just never felt the need to own one. I don't really see the point though, if it's a software based emulation that is just reading the cart data why not just use a rom? The support for traditional controllers is awesome though, that is a huge benefit.

Pic related is my current battlestation. This generation of console gaming has sucked so hard, I've been using my retro station almost exclusively.

Mi negro. That's the only console from my youth I didn't hold on to. Well, actually I still have it, but it was kept in a shed in my parent's backyard for the last 25 years or so. Nature did a number on it. I should really see if it still works, but It's missing some cables, and I have no idea where all of our games went.

This might not be a big deal to some, but I found this gem on the side of the road the other day. I was going to see a movie with a friend a few days ago and at the last minute decided to take another way there so I could swing by my elementary school, just to nostalgia. Driving down the road i spot some items left out on the curb with a "free" sign. I looked over and noticed the tv...kept driving, then FUCK! Ive been looking for a old school tv to play nintendo on. stopped, pulled around and got out to look at it. It's in Perfect condition, not a single scratch on it, plus has the original remote (i think?). I load it up and drive away. Can anyone identify this tv? its a magnavox. not sure what model or year it came out in.

Not bad for a free tv. Your model number should be located on the back sticker or the series model could be on the lower right front. The styling puts it around mid to late 80s before manufacturers started going thinner integrated bezels for a sleeker look.
Maganvox tvs have always been solid but they hit their prime in the days of the floor console. hell, they may have been the last company to manufacture a non projector floor console crt.

it's a work in progress (didn't even have electric outlets down there until 4 days ago), the kitchen chair is just a spare from the basement i pulled out along with the small folding chair as a quick to put away setup for steel battalion.

the old furniture is for entertaining down there, i would sit closer when playing the games using either a sling chair or on the floor as the carpet i put down is very plush.

the quail couch is a hide-a-bed so it needed to be farther back to allow it to be opened up should i need another bed.

I appreciate the kind words, anon. I'd get laughed out of the CRT thread, but I'm actually running RF to both, my Famicom and PC Engine are un-modded (I'm weird about modding vintage consoles). There's a VCR under the desk that is tuned to channel 95, and outputs composite to my PVM. The RF out of the VCR goes to a shitty USB cable capture card, I basically rigged it up so I can take off the cuff shitty pictures and videos if I want to, pic related. My PVM is definitely not perfect, I saved it from the trash at my job, but it's healthy enough for the time being. I'll probably replace it with a consumer set if it dies. As for the audio, I'm a songwriter and have been recording stuff for years, so I just patched everything into my studio monitors, it's pretty awesome sounding.

They still exist, but anyone on ebay will be overcharging for them like mad. Only do that if you're desperate or have the money to burn. It is the place where you will see most of them come and go, though.

Otherwise, take the hard road. Search craigslist every day. There's a great app called "IFTTT" that can get you speedy alerts to new listings. If you want to be thorough, don't just search for "PVM". You may even want to get as general as "sony monitor", since some people post them up without even really knowing what they are.

Some people will tell you to visit local TV stations and ask the head engineer, but let me tell you that is just a waste of time, effort and gas. I e-mailed and visited about a dozen local TV stations last year (you can often find the station engineer's email address on their webpage), and have absolutely nothing to show for it. Most engineers are too busy to give a fuck, and some will have no idea what you're talking about. I think I got maybe ONE actual reply out of all the emails I sent. Besides, most stations sold/trashed all their CRTs years ago.

I did end up getting a nice PVM late last year, for free even, on Craigslist, but that was after THREE YEARS of searching, and it was an unbelievable stroke of luck. You may fare better or worse depending on how diligent you are, and where you live.

Good luck!

Good sound advice, hit local reputable pawn and loan shops they have stuff like that thrift stores, yard sales, rummage sales are good places to look.
I found a Sega Master system and a few games (7) and a few other things for about $1.75 this was at a rummage sale.

That's at least 16 inch CRT, if not larger. Even a small, mostly plastic 13 TELEVISION is going to weigh 30+ pounds, so 50lbs for a slightly larger monitor is a pretty good guess.

[Anonymous No.3319561]

>>3319379
Even something weighing 15 lbs (which that crt definitely weighs more than) will massively fuck you up falling flat on your face like that. Try holding a crt 3ft above the floor and just drop it. It's gonna hit fucking hard, and its most likely gonna be enough to damage the the tv. It would crush his head and most likely kill him instantly.

Just finished this, I used to have an old technics receiver but I found this real nice newer yamaha one for 9 bucks and it switches s-video. I don't use RGB and don't plan too, the monitors are too expensive and so are the cables. S-video is just fine for me. I do envy people that have them though.

The empty spot on the bottom is for a laserdisc player when I get one.

Different anon here, but why are beanbag chairs so fucking expensive? Any half-decent ones are in the $100 range. It's nuts, I always had this image of bean bag chairs being an affordable seating alternative. At that price, I could buy something nicer than a formless bag of styrofoam pellets.

I don't keep any consoles. I have a PS1 hidden somewhere around, but fuck that. PC retro games are where it's at.

Then again, it's not pictured, but I have a shitty broken chair. I mean, it's not *actually* shitty. It's pretty nice. Only problem is that it's a 5-legged computer chair with one leg completely snapped off, meaning it likes to fall over.

I'm sure you can find low end ones rather recently, but finding high end models, in decent condition, and maintaining them can often build up quite a bill.

This one >>3333550 is a 32" i got for free, it's the one i mentioned with DVI. Works extremely well for PS2, Xbox and Gamecube with composite. Haven't played a whole lot of older stuff on it though, but it seems to have great colour with other things. Weights between 160-180lb, and was a hellava bitch to get up 3 flights of stairs.

Pic related is the TV i've used a lot for my classic consoles, comes in really nice.

Moved things around now though, and it's currently working as my TV in my weight room. Got an old Athlon 64 X2 5000+ with a 6600GT hooked up to it. Let's me watch my star trek or netflix, etc while lifting. Actually works pretty great for watching old 4:3 TV shows off the computer.
