Points for actually being tidy and having a hi-fi set-up.
>>10880740black hi-fi/television setups are my favorite. The silver age was not good.
>>10880740Really nice setup, especially w/ the hi-fi>>10880764I have a soft spot for the silver age as it felt like “future tech” this is my setup
>>10880834
>>10880834>>10880838as a squaresoft diehard it warms my heart seeing people still enjoying their output anyway, my setup is the exact same, even the screen positioning currently just finished the scene where cloud learned to levitate and handed big guy the black materia in the northern crater catfight incoming place your bets
>>10880871Hell yea I got VII, VIII IX in a bundle for cheap not long ago, replaying now I’m blown away by how the game leads you on a wide journey with such limitations, so much to do and see. I’m up to disk 2 just got cloud back after he was in a wheelchair lmao-I am planning on playing X next, 7 is a favourite but I have never played X only ever saw it at friends places.

>>10882513uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh okthis is before i finished the plexiglass\bezel for soul edge mini cabwerks with neogeo, ergheiz, tekken 2, dead or alive++ as well
>>10882513Some oldfags have a wife, kids, job, mortgage etc. and they want to build a cool man cave to nerd out in when they need to escape and chill. There's nothing wrong with that.
>>10882548A most excellent tomb. To be mummified in such a noble space, I envy you.
>>10882513Sir, this is a video game board on 4chan.

>>10880747I'm currently using some old PC speaker setup. What is an affordable path for shielded clear sound? Explain amps/preamp/integrated that would be needed to complete the setup.
>>10882513Sounds good to me.
Here's an old picture of my sad setup.All my big CRTs are in boxes in my basement

>>10884740>jap games are black and whiteGet some RGB scart cables anon
>>10884741i dont think the tv can handle it. The previous TV did well with 60fps, but the previous TV retired. Think that's gonna do it? Big shortage of good CRTs around here
>>10881714This is based! I love shit on wheels!
>>10882481Hey I just sold my Channel F yesterday, very cool.

>>10881714oh shit! I have a sony wega. Been looking for a lower rolling cart thing kinda like what you have, how do i go about shopping for the cart you have whats it called?
activate windows has since been removed. Currently using a 14" monitor on the right. Dont have the right cable for the 20 yet. Just wanted to see how silly it would look and if it was even possible to get it on my desk without it being a complete hazard. suprisingly. its not.
>>10882495>>10880838>>10880740Damn, I wish I could be as organized and tidy like you guys. My room is a fucking mess.Where do you guys go to get the stands and shelves for your setups? Thrift stores or an actual furniture place?
>>10882513Ermmm actually I wont be alone I will have your mother with me.
>>10885297this looks like a rape dungeon
>>10883961What game?
I keep mine in a closet. I took the sliding doors off for this pic, normally only one half is visible at a time because of the doors. I usually close the curtains and then set the doors in the middle to prevent mold (just in case).

>>10886782Thanks. At this very moment the SFC is sitting where the PSX was when I took the photo. I've got plastic bins that I put my consoles in when they're not being used and my SFC was in the bin when I took the picture. There's a few in the back because I was playing them often and didn't feel like putting them away. Except the Dreamcast, that one was waiting for parts to come in the mail so I could mod it.
>>10886570Are those for cassette tapes? Got any cool ones?

>>10888321 Got the sticker here. The theme is custom. I used the sticker art, adjusted it, printed.
>>10885604 I got it off of Amazon. Just measured the TV and found something that matched. The cart came with extensions but it made the TV to high so I just used the shorter bits.

What's the best 10,000 games arcade setup for kids and boomers alike? I was gonna get a arcade1up but apparently that's a waste of money.
>>10889060What I don't understand is why someone would need that many games.I get having a box or two of games but this is just excessive as you won't even be able to play it all.
>>10897876>you won't even play it allI hate when people say this, because it completely ignores how old video games actually are, and assumes people are already in hospice. I'm 32, have been into games since the N64, And have been thrifting and yardsaling for games since 2006. That alone is 23 years, coupled in with the fact that we play the game as soon as we buy it, that gives plenty of time to play everything. This also applies to people who think anyone is paying eBay price for their games. Nobody does that.
It's not ideal, I'm well aware, but I don't have the space to put a CRT in my room and I use my TV for movies and shit too so I can't be bothered. I'm a poorfag zoomer that grew up with these and I usually played these consoles on a flat panel anyways so it feels more authentic to my childhood this way

I want to add a PS3 to my setup (for PS1 games and PS2 remasters mostly) but I can’t for my life of me out where I’d put it. I also considered just a PS1 Classic to emulate those and skip PS2 but those seem to be garbage.

Can't decide if I should get a Saturn or if I should build a MiSTer, since it can also do Neo-Geo and I'm sure as heck not about to buy an actual one. Extremely jealous of anyone that has PVMs and also lives in an NTSC region. I don't want PAL shit, so I'm forced to import and deal with taxes and gayass customs.>>10901397Personally I think the PS1 Classic is garbage and I'd say everyone needs to own one fat PS2 at least, but that's just me. You can definitely make space for one. If you can't make space for a PS1 as well you can build a MiSTer I guess. You can also definitely throw that shitxbox away. What do people even use those for? You can also put shelves on the wall to hold things, or build some kind of stand to hold your turntable.
>>10901638I have the Xbox for the rare modern game I'm actually interested in, it cost me like 200 bucks and serves its purpose.

>>10901713Costs $100 and that's after buying a PS1 and an upscaler. Not really looking to invest $300 in the project.
>>10901703Oh so it’s not the 90k, I just assumed it was from the stand.
>>10900162>its literally more normie-tier than netflix/hulu to play vidya anonThat's the mainstream, current day casual gamer. Anyone on the retro board is by definition not normie tier. We're more closely related to those obsessive weirdos that only watch movies made before the invention of CGI, and have huge collections of I Dream of Jeannie dolls neatly arranged in a cabinet lined with fabric from Barbara Eden's panties.Sorry man. I don't make the rules. In the dating scene it's just not cool to be retro.
>>10899846Companion 2 looks good for the size it is, but there is no way those speakers are producing anything at 40hz or so. I would recommend getting a subwoofer with them, or look for something else that either has a sub or two full-range speakers.

>>10901797I think it's worth the investment but to each his own. I guess it also depends on how much use you would get out of it. If you really wanna stay low budget the ps1 classic isnt that bad.
>>10880740OP your setup is nice. Gives me brainscan vibes
>>10901858>watch movies made before the invention of CGISo the only movies you perceive to be "normal" are current soulless Marvel slop and anything before that is seen as old, decrepit and weird. Got it.>Watch out, that guy is watching Casablanca, might want to check on him.
>>10902710>>10902997so this brought me down a whole rabbit hole, apparently there's a pretty sophisticated emulation suite called Project Eris for the PS1 Classic. Might give it a shot, I've got an old DualShock 3 lying around somewhere.
>>10903291Anon, even Terminator 2 used CGI
>>10880740Old picture. It's all torn down for the moment because I was trying to squeeze a 14" pvm in there.
>>10904095Cuteass setup but you're missing a fat PS2. No gameboy player either.
>>10904212I would have preferred the fat ps2. I chose the slim because i was running out of space in my compactified setup. A few of those consoles were gently bought including the ps2 slim. So I only have a handful of games for that one.. dreamcast and gamecube are also new to me.
>>10904218If you don't have an SSD modded fat boy with a genuine Sony network adapter at that, there's no point in playing the PS2.
>>10904095what is that dreamcast controller?
>>10904221A nice thing about the ps2 is that similar to the Xbox, games are cheap to collect. Currently there's plenty of $10 games to pick up for those systems.. . Snes and genesis carts on the otherhand get steep quick. So are dreamcast games.. for that I definitely want to find a way to play burned copies. Saturn is expensive af too. Unless you buy aquazone. That's a cheap saturn game.
>>10904256That is the twin stick controller for virtual-on oratorio tangram. Fun game.. too bad the online multiplayer is defunct.. its apparent to me that's what this game was really meant to do. The controller is still great. I plan to use a PC adapter to play all manner of games which require robotron 2084 controls. I bought the dreamcast in a bundle with this game and contoller. Couldn't resist as I was always was a fun of virtua on fro. The arcade days. It's also convinent to buy a japan region consoles at a nice discount.. the downside, my dreamcast doesn't play north American games where I live.. gotta get a boot disk.
>>10904260>burned copiesNah you just get an ODE.
>>10903291That is the norm for most zoomers. I'm 45, and most young people, including my five nephews and three nieces have no interest in anything from the past because it's "old man stuff." They don't have the attention span for it and they are incapable of seeing its value.I didn't say normal was good. I said it was the current perception. Marvel slop IS, whether we like it or not, "cool and normal" to most people, while older movies are regarded as bizarre, awkward silly crap from a dead generation that no longer has any relevance. They laugh at the Xenomorph because it looks "stupid and old." Star Wars is "funny." Terminator is "boring." Road Warrior is "dull." It's the same with the vast majority of gamers today, which is why this board gets about 1% of the traffic that /v/ does.Point still stands: no culture considers retro artifacts to be "cool" or normal. What is cool and normal are always seen in context to the current zeitgeist, even if that zeitgeist is slop. I wish that wasn't the case, but that's why we have niche boards for the 1%.Face it. We are not cool by consensus. We are not normal by consensus. We are old and decrepit weird nerds who value things 99% of people -- including gamers -- no longer value. And that's okay. You can't force the world to like what it doesn't like -- but you can laugh at them behind their backs for having no taste.In the context of dating, women in general aren't into games. Those that are are likely to be into normal ones, so the dating pool is inherently limited if you want to date on the basis of shared passions.tldr; you are a grandpa and/or a weirdo.
>>10904283Nice. I've been modding my dreamcast a lot but I haven't tried out any of the gimmick controllers yet. I'd get the light gun but I hear they only work on CRTs and I use a 4:3 VGA setup
>>10904363Better get a CRT asap little kid before they become impossible to find.
>>10904631hey who you calling kid
>>10904260>Saturn is expensive af tooGet a Saroo and thank me later.
>>10904635If you aint got a CRT you a little boy to me.
>>10904642Sweet. Im checking out sega lords X's video about it.
>>10904314This is quite accurate. I'm 29, and I've heard a friend -- who is actually slightly older than me -- comment that he can't watch movies from before about 1990 because they're "unrelatable". As if a world that existed a merefive years before we were born was some kind of foreign experience.On the other hand, my neighbor's is about 15 years old and absolutely loves old games, I've set him up with emulators of old systems and let him borrow from my own library, and it's great to see someone young pick up on the hobby.I guess the takeaway is that while it's only a niche 1%, there do still seem to be plenty of young people who are finding their way into retro stuff.
>>10904813Who the fuck consumes media with the intent of it being "relatable"?
>>10904819Look at the constant outcry of people of various races/genders/mental illnesses complaining that they can't relate to movies if they don't feature people who look, sound, and act exactly like them. I think the average person really lacks the ability to empathize.

>>10904867>you think its worth picking up TWO of these?Nah.. hardly worth one desu.. the single player game is pretty fun though.. and I got a dreamcast out of the deal. That was my main objective.now if there was a way setup two dreamcasts with lan adapters with their own displays and two copies of this game, then maybe sure. It's a lot of stuff to get just for this one game but it would certainly be unique and probably fun. I'm uncertain if this feature is even supposed on dreamcast.. if it is you'd probably have to know japanese how to set up the networking. Goodluck with that.
