I keep all the consoles in the stand of course. The only retro console I actively use is my NES, I just emulate everything else on my Wii. Controllers go in a box, all haphazardly thrown ontop of each other because I'm a caveman. I can try and take a further back pic if you really want but this room is fucking tiny and I'm almost in the other corner already.

it's a great TV once you get past the usual WEGA flatscreen issues. I love mine but I'm not sure I'd actually pay for one when I know they go for free. fair warning for you though, it's goddamn heavy at 200lbs. and when you pick it up make sure the fall strap isn't connected at the back of the stand, assuming it has a stand.

nice, I'm moving into a bigger place soon, so I may actually start doing this as it looks super comfy and well organized.

It's nice to dedicate one console at a time per "setup", it looks cleaner and it may seem silly but it makes me appreciate the one console, leaving it plugged in for months sometimes before I get bored of it and want to switch.

They really aren't overkill. Most of the weight is in the front of the monitor, since the wood is two pieces the front of it was bending. The cables were imperative, it pulls the wood up to evenly distribute the weight.

But anon, how else will people know how much of le rehtroh gaymur you are!? I keep my games in boxes, too. I found these sweet collapsible CD boxes on amazon that perfectly fit two rows of NES games. I especially like it because I frequently hop between games on the NES. This way I can just keep the box right next to me and I don't need to get up.

>>4205873
What model PVM is that? It has so many buttons.

>>4205749
>so much more manageable
Having to go into a closet, take your systems out of a tupperware bin and hook them up every time you want to play is more manageable?

Is this a meme? I feel like this is an extreme backlash from the displayfag collector culture going on right now.

>>4207594
It's a BVM-20[E/F/G]1[A/E/U]. The buttons are on a BKM-10R control unit which, in this case is integrated into the monitor with an attachment kit.

Mine (>>4203279) is currently separate from my F1E but I have the necessary parts to fix them together if I want to.

>>4207602
I do the same, but it's for lack of space. Also I usually just use a hacked Wii despite having all the consoles I'm emulating in the closet.

So am I the only fag here that watches TV shows on their CRT? I do it with stuff originally filmed in full-screen.

>>4202712

This is my storage, it holds about 90% of my vidya stuff, /vr/ or not.

I've consolidated a lot over the last year, very little actual games left mostly, I sold them and bought flash carts. Each case is dedicated to a system, and contains a silica gel pack (or two for large ones). Each controller or controller pair is in a separate ziplock bag, likewise for power supplies/AV cable sets. Each bag has its own silica gel pack as well.

The effect is a very organized setup that keeps things safe from moisture and prevents tangling. Very easy to maintain and only took a few hours to do.

I got the shelves from walmart, 18"x36"x72" affair.

Que?

The model is viewsonic graphic series g90f. I use it for older PC games, it can do something like 1920x1440 if you don't care about flicker, but I keep it lower to avoid that effect.

Also very good for dreamcast games.

its the definition of cluttered. knickknacks and such in every nook and cranny of your room means that its cluttered. Svideo on an hdcrt? why

i never mentioned anything about wood, I said the frame was shit. The frame is shit, stylistically its pretty much the definition of hideous although it goes along with the rest of your decor. Real vines would actually be a nice touch even if they were dying, or you know you could put it in between some plants you have.

The real problem is that there are too many "background" colors. I'm no fan of beige walls and it's especially unpleasant in contrast to the primary colors.

This is my old setup, all of it is packed up and ready for moving day.
I'll be heading out to California on Sunday with my stuff and by then end of next month, I'll have it all set up again, but with my PVM 2530 instead of that LCD.

I'll keep the 13" Zenith Space Command, because it's so vintage and cute. It'll be in my bedroom with an additional NES hooked up to it for that vintage nostalgia.

I was actually thinking about that (painting the shelves a wood colour) the more I looked at the display, but honestly the picture itself makes it look weirder than in person I guess by contrast of the room or something.

Anyway, nice setup. I like the colors more than anything.

I hate LCDs, and if my pc had VGA output, I would be using my GDM. I don't know shit about LCDs. I know when one hurts my eyes..I hate the term 240p, but we use it to communicate with digital video consumers.

I got a pile of game systems out.

My pc is some alienware i5 upgraded and decked out with max ram/windows 7/SSD. For the bad rep they get, they are very useful. I have had no issues running any of the games I need. It will make a good retro emulator some day when they figure out how to do it perfectly.

All my systems are svideo

>Gamecube v1 w/fancy video outs.
>Xbox > XBMC: plays music/games/emulators pretty well. Testing Snes Emulator that aledgedly does 240p. I figured out that I don't know how to tell, but it certainly looks different than the "regular" software.
>PSX 1001 with newer video chips. I dont know how I got so lucky but I did. No weird shadows and color changes, and no need to buy extra hookups just to use guncon. Works great with UniROM.

I got piles of systems in storage, this is just what is out right now. I am not a fan of the GC, and may swap in the WII for classic emulation.

Does the WII do 240p via svideo through homebrew? I prefer the controllers available over the m$ box.

>>4218273
>Testing Snes Emulator that aledgedly does 240p
Xbox doesn't do 240p.

That said, yes, the Wii will do 240p for many VC games (at most requiring a button combo to activate), and for emulators assuming they're setup to do so. You could partially get a taste of it with your Gamecube, assuming you have a way to load homebrew on it.
This is all video output independent; They'll do 240p over CVid, SVid, or Component(if not in Progressive Scan mode in the case of the Wii).


You'd be limited in terms of resolution and refresh, but have you considered getting an HDMI->VGA adapter to use with your GDM? What model is it, anyway?

>>4218229
Smaller crt has both its speakers working and a cool little headphone jack.
I play my dreamcast games on the smaller one. And I think the vcr still works. Either the big crt or small crt has a functional vcr player. I need to test them out.

I consider everything else retro tho. 15 years is generally considered the point when things become "retro". Plus there's a dreamcast there too

My setup isn't super permanent, because I don't have room to have all my stuff hooked up, but my CRT is on wheels so I can get at the scart port and powerstrip to exchange stuff.

Currently my Wii is hooked up. Excellent console for emulation, because it's the last modern one to have RGB Scart cables and some well-done emulators like Mednafen. I'm a collector, so I care about collecting games, but I like emulation to play stuff like fan-translations and handheld games on a TV.

I just got started on Faselei for the Neo Geo Pocket Color

This on the other hand looks pretty nice. A lot of variation and everything surrounding the set feels a lot more natural than in the pics here above.

Yeah i liked the old corner better too anon.
It's a necessary evil. Going to start working on renewing the walls in this room hopefully soon and i'm starting with the "old" corner from the last time i posted. They are in the worst shape after all.

>>4219702
Nice.
Hey, I bet that sassy white saturn would look pretty under that sassy white B&O MX (maybe4000?) set!

>>4220667
By the way, how is the geometry on your B&O? My MX4000 has kinda wonky distortions, especially on the right edge, which can't be fixed. Kinda sad about it, because I really like the design.

>>4220721
It's mildly misaligned, fixed some of it in the service menu. It's really not noticeable unless you are a real stickler. It's better than my spare consumer trinitron set though.

My small luxor has the best geometry, pretty much perfect and surprisingly good colors. Bad thing about the luxor set is that it's 50hz only. It's the oldest crt i own so i find it surprising .

But all that said I'm not the guy to ask about picture quality. I just play.

This isn't a slight or anything, because I know you are going for a style, but when I was a kid, I remember old people's homes having pictures like that, commemorative plates and special fancy cutlery hanging on the wall, but what's been haunting me through the years is that there always seem to be a new generation of old people who decorate their homes like that.

Isn't that strange?
Like, what age do you have be to wake up one day and think "I'm gonna hang these motherfucking plates up on this motherfucking wall!"

Also, do you think it will ever change? Will our grandkids roll their eyes at our senior citizen decorations and be, like "Oh granddad... You and your anime tiddie posters"

>>4220393
Isn't that TV up a little high? Wouldn't it be better on that stand next to it where the computer is right now.

>>4220753
>>4220754
I'm not even that guy but whatever makes you sleep at night, anon.

>>4220778
Ha yeah, i'm going for a temporary style, Every tapestry hanging are to cover up big holes and damage on the walls. I'll go a bit more minimal once the renovation is done.

But yeah, most of those things were actually my grandmas. That's probably the reason though ain't it? people remembering their grandparents homes with fondness.

The taxidermy i'm keeping however.

>>4218519
>but have you considered getting an HDMI->VGA adapter to use with your GDM? What model is it, anyway?
Fw-900

I did have a component to VGA converter/adapter I just got rid of. I LOVE this monitor. It looks really fucking sweet to have a glass top computer desk.....There also is no fucking way that I am sitting 2 crts on it. Period lol. I am stuck in a spot.
>Thinking about selling the house in spring

Any "computer desk" I make would optimally need to hold my FW-900 and possibly one on either side....Just in case I need 3 way monitors.....Weight is an issue. I could possibly remove the corner glass from the current desk and build something straight to the ground to hold it also.

My fw-900 is sitting in the storage room...of course it is in the lowest/furthest point from the front door....This keeps any invaders from stealing it, as it would take a number of days to move it from the mechanical room up a flight of stairs and out to the street.

I would love to find something at all that uses 5 BNC for video. It is almost hilarious. Sure I have the VGA adapter, and it looks better than just VGA. I don't try to understand either.

Only reason I am using this lcd shit is because this "pc" only has hdmi. I am really thinking about switching back to my old ass beige pc tower with the GTX 260. It would at least do the rated 144hz for this lcd, and still have svideo out for the tv....but at that point, Id almost rather have my gdm beside this crt....just for continuity.....again, Id need to get a better desk for the estimated 250-300 lbs.

nah bro

That setup is just plain ugly, cluttered and all around tasteless. I don't even know where to start.

Flatscreen (lol) that's up way too high and too far away from the couch, most of those controllers (provided you can even untangle them from that god-awful mess on the wall) won't even reach that far.

Random assortment of video game related posters autistically lined up and concentrated on a single wall space.

Completely out of place tiny arcade cabinet. Nobody ever plays this.

All that random merchandise like the blanket, Nintendo Plushies, the ugly SEGA store display cabinet, it all just screams "I am a giant manchild that will buy literally anything that has a brand logo on it".

etc etc

It's just entirely unappealing on both the aesthetic and functional levels, and if you were to invite me over, I would feel very uncomfortable in your musty mancave, and so should anybody else with any sense of decency.

>>4220851
Did you even read the thread? How the hell is that suppose to be 240p if it doesn't work on a CRT?
"And sadly after some testing by some guys over at Eletorlado weve come to the conclusion that this only works on HD TVs, it comes out crappy on CRT Evil or Very Mad On a CRT it remains interlaced where as on an HD TV it gets displayed progressive (TV upscaling)"

You know, maybe we should simply not bother with these kind of people and let them play with their laggy flat screens in blissful ignorance.

Poster here. Wow, I feel real bad about this. I just finally got out of a shithole house and am finally having a place where I don't have to fight tangled cords, games stored away in totes because i have no room for shelves, and trying to fit 4 people in a tiny ass room to play a game.
I do have a CRT (like I posted before) but it weighs 200lbs and I can't carry it up on my own, my friends are coming this weekend to help me with it. I ordered a wall mount for the flat screen and I'm going to move things over so it can be at eye level.

I didn't mean to start a shitstorm about my setup and appreciate the critiques so I can further better my battlestation.

>>4221390
Don't feel bad man, once you get the CRT you'll be golden. Your aesthetics are exactly that, yours. If you have fun playing games with your rig, then what else is there to worry about? Function > form, especially with retro gaming.

>>4221390
I'm among the people who shat upon you. Sorry for making you feel bad. As long as you have fun playing with your setup, you're not doing anything wrong. Your setup just doesn't quite comply with /vr/'s unwritten (and somewhat arbitrary) rules and standards.

Strip away the condescending tone and you might find enough constructive critique in those comments to turn a setup you like into one you love!

Anon, I know you put a lot of work into this, but I must say it, it looks awful. It's like you're trying way too hard, I mean, you got a lot of cool posters, but you line them up like filling each and every space into your walls for whatever reason.
All those controllers stuffed together and that tiny (and very cool) arcade cabinet couldn't be in a worst spot.

You do got a lot of cool stuff, but you don't seem to have a lot of passion about it.

Check pic related I saved from anon some other day.
You can see this motherfucker plays this shit everyday, it is so basic, yet so comfy. You can just see that someone cleans and give those games some love every now and then

Don't know, anon, just telling him that he should spend less time trying to make somthing worth taking a pic of, and more time playing his games. I don't know if the anon I posted play his games, but it surely looks like it.

>>4223408
>just telling him that he should spend less time trying to make somthing worth taking a pic of, and more time playing his games
Meh, why bother? I don't give a shit what he does. He already posted pictures of his cringe-worthy setup, and that's all the entertainment I really expect to garner from him.

Like, am I supposed to feel a sense of pride if a month later he posts a new setup and takes a picture of himself actually playing games as if to ask "A-am I doing it r-right, senpai?"

>>4223406

I don't care. And how would we know if he's telling the truth? My point is that I don't come into this threads actually caring whether or not some anon is actually playing video games or is just a retro memer. It's just fun to laugh at the latter.
