That monitor is so fucking gay. Throw it in the dumpster where it belongs and see a professional about your autism.

Fucking love this. Only thing I could think to improve is to use a SNES mini since TV has just composite.

Shitty pic but here's my current desk set up. My Trinitron broke so I won't bother showing my bigger gaming set up because it needs to be replaced and the whole area needs a make over. But this desk set up works really well. My Amiga 1080 accepts composite, S-Video, and RGB, but I'm stuck with S-Video until I get some 9 Pin D-Sub connectors to make custom cables with.

I don't think she really likes the SNES. Honestly that reaction sounds like a person who is a "nerd" for cred and attention but would balk at the idea of pretty much anything that would demonstrate being a true (or what they might call "creepy") fan of the thing. Like it is OK to watch GameGrumps, wear a Mario shirt, attention cosplay at a con, or talk about how you love 16bit yo, but when the line is drawn when it comes to buying expensive games beyond Earthbound or buying a dedicated display for your old consoles. Or the kinds of people who'd go out to a park at night to play Pokemon Go because they love Pokemon, but the minute someone brings up how much fun they have playing Red on an original GB or competitive training and battling suddenly they're not as interested of a fan. Or someone who will dress up as She-Thor at a convention but has never been interested in any Marvel thing beyond the MCU films.

There are lots of these kind of almost invisible aptly named "basement spiders" sometimes very rarely one might drop down directly on you while you're playing but they're literally like nothing. You can smash them in your hand and not even feel it.

There used to be an occasional badass big black wolf spider but the cats seem to have killed all of them

Not him, but bugs and spiders and whatnot only bother me if they are of a dangerous variety or if they are in my food or something. The geckos in my house probably help keep them in check.

No one? He literally said that she was afraid that he'd turn the room into a "nerd bunker." She clearly has some sort of issue with nerds if that was her first reaction to her big friend showing her a photo of someone else's CRT setup, not to mention that the aversion was so strong that she even stopped talking to him.

If you want vr related
Dance Dance Revolution and Konamix are the only ones that are PS1.

I like songs on all of them and don't care for the (optional) gimmicks.

I'd pull out SCART cables to see if he'd IRL REEEEEEE on me. Either that or wait for him to start bashing my displays or comparing what was paid to his free 20L5. To be fair, he's probably fine in person. I'd probably get along with most people on here if only due to shared gaming interests.

Its a spare room bros/senpai can crash in, I'm sure.
Just toss a bunch of cozy pillows on it to make the day to day gaming more enjoyable.
>>
>>3464689
Looks cozy. One thing annoys me tho. The positioning of the couch and entertainment unit. They're both at a good position, but combined it's terrible. Either you have to recline across the couch, turn your neck towards the TV, or move one or the other tohave them facing eachother directly, which wouldn't work. Triggers me but there's no good solution.

The room is only like this when games aren't being played as it gives us more space for activities.

The sofa has these easy slide feet thing on the legs so I just spin it around to face the TV etc when using it, it has enough room at the side of it to easily walk past so you're not "trapped" between it and the TV when in use.

>>3464749
I needed a sofa that would comfortably fit 3 or 4 people on as well as function as a double bed for when people stay over and this ticked the boxes whilst still being cheap.

>>3464882
Yeah I'm pleased with how it turned out for the price of everything, was going to go the custom-made furniture path but moving house cost about 5-7k and we're only going to be here for 2 years until we buy a place so it seemed like a waste.
>>
>>3465670
At least you got carts in there and shit actually plugged in
>>
>>3465923
Actually that's something I didn't mention (I'm >>3464689 )

The top left square of the 2x2 the TV is on is usually empty as it has a AV switcher and power strip behind it so whatever console is being played moves to there until I'm done with it.

I didn't want to have to mess around having everything plugged in at once because I knew it would end up a mess.

Pretty much the same except it was my grandpa who taught me to play cribbage and poker, he built the gigantic board I now have lol. I'll teach the kids how to play when they get bigger so I'm sure they'll enjoy the huge board on the table.

I consolidated as much as possible but I also have a set with plenty of inputs.

NES and Genesis use cvbs and each have their own input. SNES, 3DO, N64, and DC use S-Video on a 4 port switch, PS2, Wii, XBOX and Blu-Ray player use a 4 port component switch.

works perfect and keeps wiring managable

That's awesome. My family has a cottage on a huge lake in the woods that has the same type of look and feel. Only systems I have up there right now are ps1, ps2, snes and a wii though. There's an 80'x60' heated shed up there that I plan on putting a loft into to create even more of a mancave. Plans for a fuckhuge projector, all systems etc.

>>3463232
Good idea with the power rack.

>>3463587
You could maybe put some ikea stuff together for a more unified look with shelving that goes above the monitors. Then maybe a display case for the figures with some LED lighting inside to work as a bit of a lightsource for the setup.

>>3463605
Nice. I like sitting as close as possible to the screen as well. You should consider some dust protectors for those N64 games.

>>3463694
You should do some cable management. Get that powerstrip outta there. The christmas lights is a comfy source of light, but you don't need to top it off with Christmas decorations as well.

>>3463761
What's that thing under the SNES?

>>3464689
Very nice. I see you've run into the "problem" of too deep shelving. I'd want to build a game room as well, but the problem with getting shelving like this is that you end up layering your stuff, keeping it out of view and hard to reach, but it IS a nice depth when it comes to having consoles on them.

Nice collection! I never knew they made actual battletoads figures. I'd suggest getting a proper display case for those with some lighting.

>>3468928
That's some sweet wood panelling. The perspective was throwing me off, so for a second I thought you were playing games in a stable, until I noticed the couch.

This thread makes me want to go get CRT so bad. Right now i'm just emulating any old games I feel like playing. My battle station is not really /vr/ related but i'll post anyways


In my parent's house I got a 34 inch HD Sony 4:3 CRT and while it looks amazing it's not great for retro (as in 480p and down) games. I get better results just emulating it on my plasma. Plus they live like 2,000 miles away and that CRT weights 50lbs more than I do.

Why no Wii on the CRT? It has stuff which does well on it.

Honestly though I'm tempted to buy and hack a second Wii so I can keep one on a widescreen LCD and one on a fullscreen CRT.

Here's a couple shots I took with my phone camera, sorry if they're not the best or bad. Also, I feel the overall image on the TV can be better, but I should mention that it was pretty much used daily for at least 2-4 hours over I think 5-10 years or so.

- Mario Kart 64 (N64)
- Double Dragon (NES)
- Donkey Kong Country (SNES)

Pretty sure the 1st DK image is bad. The last image of Mario's face is a separate image from the 1st MK64 one, not cropped.

Pretty sure I also got 60hz lines in the 1st MK64 image, which unfortunately idk how to get rid of when taking pictures...

The newest version (DDR A) just had a limited release in American arcades about 2 months ago. Before that there hadn't been an official release since X2 back in 2010.

Console DDR has been dead for years though. Just Dance pretty much blew it away in popularity.

It makes sense that people don't talk much about a game that has been rather dead outside of Japan until recently.

Are you a kid?

>>3473236
No. Storms are the main cause of damage lol. That's what "backups" would be. There actually was a problem with drainage when I moved in, there's a tree that reaches its roots into the ancient tile culvert that leads to the sewer and the basement did flood as a result of the drainage also being wrong. Before I moved in I had to have new basement walls poured to the tune of $5000 even using my own men. I was aware it can get wet down there though so from the beginning I had a rule of thumb that nothing be within a foot of the floor and I kept things away from the drain (low) corner so it never actually got close to them the time it flooded bad enough I had the roots professionally ground and I used a sump pump to make double sure of that. Being a home owner is fucking work. I'm as lazy as any typical Anon and I may kind of live a redneck lifestyle but you still have to take care of yourself, be taken care of or die.

I have a couple of those projectors. I used to use Lightware/Optoma brand VP800 projectors because of their low price and cheap bulbs but then I lost my VGA adapter dongle and there's only one guy who makes them and he charges out the ass for them so I switched to my current models, Promethean/Sanyo PRM-10/20/30 that are very common as school surplus with a higher resolution and shorter throw than the Lightwares. They're always missing their remotes though and they have no controls on the projector itself! So they're more of a gamble not just because for that reason they're usually sold as-is but also because when a six dollar 500 hour lamp is almost dead it's much less of a pain than if a sixty dollar 10,000 hour lamp is - especially when you only paid $20 for the projector. I have a big honkin CRT projector as well I just haven't installed it anywhere. Thinking about mounting it up under my back porch roof to make an outdoor display you can use light guns with.

I usually just use a set of PC speakers, the rest of the machine is actually out in my garage, I just brought all this stuff in so I could play through last winter. The actual cab itself couldn't fit through my door frames so I just brought the monitor and pads in by themselves.

I rarely play alone desu, I have a couple of friends that come over occasionally to play.

I am incredibly jealous of the fact you actually have something to put your Megaview on.

The only thing I have in the house that could possibly support it is a massive coffee table that would be essentially impossible to get up into the attic.

Well, unless I could manage to do something with this old torn apart pool table, but that'd just be comical.

How much would you say the materials for that little stand cost you all together?

The plastic becomes more brittle with age, and corners are just the most obvious place for something to chip.

The fact that it's the corner most likely to be pushed hard into something should the first player's controller be jerked suddenly just adds to the chances that the front left corner would be the one most commonly damaged.

I see where your budget went now

>>3481651
thera was only 3 200x25 planks, they're just 240cm long, cut to 150cm then cutting the rest into 3 9x60 for the beam.

I found price, it was 71,30 € total, it just that I bought more stuff not related so I remember the price being higher

>Industrial metal shelving for vidya
Am I the only one who hates seeing this in so many set ups? Like I get the practicality of having large shelving with holes but it starts looking less like a video game room and more like an actual military battle station. Sours the look of a lot of game rooms imo.
>>
>>3481762
You can do metal shelves right, but i'd agree that they usually takes away from the room's aesthetic

Here's my CRT battlestation. It's kind of a mess right now, but it does what I need it to.
>>
>>3481762
I think they look cool, they just aren't solid enough to use for TVs because the wires on each shelf bend easily.

Thanks.

Main issue I'm going to have is probably the tools to actually make it with.

Military shit is cool, though.

shit really? I'm on the edge of Dayton/Kettering. Have you ever been to Game Swap in Kettering? They just got a Donkey Kong 3 cab, they've been getting a lot of old arcade cabs in there the last couple of years.
>>
>>3482523
I'm actually north of Dayton, but I consider the "Dayton area" to include the greater Miami Valley and I figure saying Dayton area is good enough to give a general idea of where I'm at.

I've never been to Game Swap or heard of it, but I might just stop in there sometime soon to check it out.
>>
>>3482575
Fair enough, it's in Kettering, it's really the only place I bother going to for games anymore, they actually know their stuff for the most part.

I pretty much stick to a shop in Dayton for my games and have been going there for years. They have the fairest overall prices for stuff I've seen, so I've become a regular customer.

In recent months I've drifted away from game collecting and focused more on getting music from places. I'll stick Game Swap on my list of places to hit up this weekend, thanks for the tip.

Looking pretty comfy and the like at least. Couple nice models presumably, and that era of Trinitron just looks so good design wise.

That's nice looking set-up. Are all consoles wired on the left or only one/a few?

Excuse the poor lighting.

All of the consoles on the left side are plugged into a surge protector, but not all of them are hooked up to the TV. I need to buy a switch if I want to hook them all up to the TV, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Appreciate the compliment, anon.

That's the Tron Legacy viral marketing poster. It's called 'Arcade Aid' and it's made up of tons of video game references.

Dayton, OH too.

>>3482523
Christ, I knew one of you had to work at GameSwap.
>>
>>3484717
Lol i dont work there i just like pointing people to the only arcade in the area. I cant stand any of the other used places in the area cause half of them are just glorified pawn shops.
>>
>>3484721
I'm just talking shit, it's a quality shop. Great selection of everything dead-format, rad nick-knacks, and a staff that will let you shop without being up your ass.

Vacs-n-Vids is decent too from what I've heard. They have arcade machines too. Haven't been in ages due to disliking the black methhead with the dreads that works there. lol

Outside of those two shops, and the overpriced garbage Game Haven has become, I'm not aware of any other used places in the area. What am I missing?
>>
>>3484736
Vacs-n-Vids sucks. They have shelves full of hundreds of copies of the games nobody wants, stuff in the store is overpriced, and the store itself looks like a dump. The games typically are in rather poor condition as well.

The arcade in the back is really the only reason to go there, unless you want to look at the blatant reproduction cartridge of Earthbound they're trying to sell for $100~ because the one of the guys was a dumbass and bought it online without reading the listing.
>>
>>3484754
Ah, so nothing has changed in the store except the arcade? LEL
>>
>>3484759
The layout has changed several times over the years. I remember years ago they had more interesting stuff but it was still somewhat of a dump back then too.

I've bought a couple of things from them like a CIB copy of Magic of Scheherazade for like $10, Double Dragon II with the instruction booklet, and a loose cart of Cybernator for like $3, but you're lucky to find a deal there.
