I love having a projector but I definitely don't use it for games, so it's not in my basement. But people who think this looks like a dark, depressing mess have no idea about the pleasures of being cocooned deep underground surrounded by coils of cables and the whir of machines.

One of my roommates in college had the same chair with the same stupid pleather coating that cracks like that. It shed stupid little bits of black pleather all over the carpet and he never cleaned them up. Actually your mix of ikea furniture and some old dresser that probably belongs to your parents really brings me back. I like your mouse I guess, not a fan of the huge sound bar right on your desk though (assuming that's what that is), or your PVM being about 6 ft in the air. What, do you stand up to play games or something? More likely you just don't use it much. I hope the firearm makes you feel in control, at least.

I noticed your record player in the other pic, so you should just try to get an old style hi-fi cabinet like pic related with shelves and a top surface for a turntable. Thirty, 40 years ago everyone had something like this in their house.
Then you could put those stereo components in the cabinet and put your consoles under the TV.

Most of the furniture was free so i cant complain. I do play games on the pvm pretty regularly actually. I just jack the seat up and its comfortable enough. It still gives the effect of playing demos at kmart when you were a kid though. Not ideal.

Anon, I'd like to ask if you were born a sniveling pile of shit or if you had to work on it. This is a kind of faggotry I haven't seen in quite some time. All you've done by saying this is that you have no opinion of your own and are willing to tell other people to stick to a collective mentality instead of doing things for themselves which is real god damned annoying.

Reposting from the last thread.

I'm aware that this kinda setup don't swing with some folks 'round here, but I'm on a budget and will be on the move soon, so don't want to amass too much clutter.

I use this setup to play games I like in a manner which is enjoyable to me, which is all I have to say about it.

I can tell a difference between RGB and S-Video on every console I've tried, even on my 14" PVM. You're fooling yourself if you think they're "almost the same".

S-Video looks great when you compare it to composite, the difference is immediately noticeable.

It's probably less noticeable on consumer TV's with lower line counts and lower quality phosphors, though.

I still need to build at least 2 more shelves. This one is 6ft tall and 6ft wide. It's sized to accommodate DVD size cases. Still need to build one to accommodate CD size jewel cases and one to hold my Sega CD, Sega Saturn and Neo Geo games. The other half of the games destined for the other shelves are sitting in boxes.

>>4363418
Right, but from my memory it only outputs 16:9 letterboxed to 4:3, so even if you modded the vWii it would just be doing letterboxed fullscreen INSIDE of letterboxed widescreen. I mean you could do a crazy zoom-in at that point but it would be pretty silly all around.

I actually am glad you posted this and wish we had more people sharing their setups like this. I'm a huge fan of nicely displayed physical collections, but there's something oddly satisfying and cozy with simple setups like yours. And i also respect how far emulation has come. Maybe someday I'll post mine.

to me it's weird to have two genesis/cd/32x setups, especially when one appears to be a wondermega.

And then there's a CDX too? And multiple PCE and equivalents? Maybe it's just me, but I don't understand the appeal of having multiple iterations of the same thing out on display, maybe as backups in storage but not as a piece for show. But then I'm not really the hardware collecting type, I only buy it to play it.

Thanks guys, appreciate the love.

I actually do have original consoles and 40+ NES games, but it's all PAL-shit, so I can't really get myself to enjoy them the way I want to, knowing how they'll always be somewhat "off". Now, with the small emulation setup, I've found myself really enjoying playing (never noticed any lag or slowdown with the Wii emulators), which has me seriously questioning the whole physical "collecting" thing. Some time ago, I had spent more time shopping for games than actually playing them, often buying crap which I now know I won't ever bother playing through a second time (some of which I have not even touched a single time since buying).

There's still something really nice about playing on actual hardware, even if emulation is perfect, as I'm really fascinated by the inner workings of the consoles and adore their designs, all viewed in their historical context. I think I'll settle for NTSC consoles with flashcarts as it seems to be a nice compromise and will get rid of a big part of my cartridges, only keeping those beloved ones I keep coming back to. It also feels nice to free those games and put them back out there again for other people to enjoy, instead of keeping them trapped in a closet catching dust, never receiving the intention they deserve.

As always, this is merely a personal preference and I understand that others feel different about the issue. If buying tons of games you'll never actually play makes you happy, do as you wish.

Not every CRT is a PVM. It's a 10" JVC, if you look closely you can see the logo. Not a prize issue, I just wanted something I could tuck into a small space of my 8 m2 and would be easy to lug around when I move (which will be soon-ish). I got bigger CRTs in the (shared) living room, but I won't take them with me. Also I enjoy playing in the privacy of my room.

Which is why I am all the more positively surprised some people like it, but you don't care.

That's just a 5" portable, black and white, RF-only, portable TV I got at the goodwill for $5 or something. It was just for fun, as I mentioned previously, it works way better as a radio. It's actually pretty fun for short Atari 2600 sessions though. I do have a 5" meme-PVM, but it's under my desk right now unused and I can't find a picture from when I had it hooked up.

it's easy to find a black trinitron with low hours because how many of them are available and for cheap or nothing

WEGA is shit, you're only fanboying them because you can't get better

not him but I own a 27'' WEGA that I got when it was new 10-15ish years ago

I've switched between it and curved CRTs a lot (I also own a cheap shitty 90s CRT that I use regularly because reasons) and the difference in lag is unnoticeable. This is also pretty unscientific, but whenever I went to calibrate a rhythm game like Guitar Hero/Rock Band on the TV there would be 0ms of calibration required. When I eventually switched to an LCD for high res stuff I had to recalibrate all those games because the input lag was totally off.

Component inputs are great, getting RGB in America is expensive and a huge pain in the ass when half the consoles out there don't support it anyway and require modding

ever wondered why flat screen crts became a thing so late in the life of crts?
because the digital circuitry to fix the geometry of the image wasn't possible to do
ever wondered why crts are as round as they are? because the beam travels to every corner of the glass in the same distance, so you didn't need anything else to display a proper picture
on a flat tube you can't do that without fixing the picture every frame

Don't believe a word this guy is saying about WEGA sets. Some are HDCRTs and do in fact have digital processing but you'll know them because they say Hi-Scan or Super Fine Pitch on them. To even entertain the thought that component requires a set be an EDTV is ridiculous. Do your own research though, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FD_Trinitron/WEGA is a good place to start and then check out the article on Enhanced Definition television it self. If these claims of component requiring it be an EDTV were true then I would be a happy camper because I could play my non-/vr/ consoles like PS2 and GCN on my FS13 in 480p, but this is not the case.

On the off chance that you're not trolling, flat screen CRTs have nothing to do with LCD panels. In most cases, even trinitrons, it's just a regular tube which has a flat exterior surface but the interior is still curved.

To a degree, sure, it's not perfectly flat, but it's still much flatter than the ones that are curved even on the outside

Full YPbPr Component support. Goes up to 480i. No 480p. Therefore not "ED". Holy shit. Here's a picture of 240p through YPbPr. Component cables actually support resolutions from 240p-2160p and everything inbetween. There is no locked in ED/HD resolution. I am so sorry, but this is not the case.
