Taking this pic from the right side of my bed. HD tv has my Wii U and 360, CRT has my ps2, VCR, Gamecube, NES, and SNES. I'm very very comfy here
here's my collection. sorry for the ugly photo, it was the best i could do.
>>3272067
simple and looks played, nice

>>3272632
Tell me about the Sharp. I would be all about playing some famicom disk system
>>3272975
Looks like a nice setup.
Old pic but it'll do. That Mitsubishi is good shit, it had S-Video. In 1987.
>>3273095
Nice, I have the big brother from 89
>>3273534
upstairs
>>3273540
Older pic but this is the room when I roll the crt into the utility room. the old web book does music streaming, the laptop handles web browsing and video, emulate on the wii and use the line doubler for 5th gen and up.
>>3273542
Last one. I have a kiddo so I hooked up the second tube so she wouldn't stand in front of mine. I need a better stand that can hold both.
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.
>>3273572
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.
>>3273581
unforunately whenever i do go to places like thrift stores or even online everyhting is sold out. So its impossible to rebuild.
>>3273582
Maybe if you changed your attitude, everything wouldn't seem impossible.
>>3273601
No, he should buy more drugs. Drugs are awesome.
>>3273601
i try, but then i get let down and feel worse.
>>3273582
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.
>>3273632
Yea I can't afford that
>>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.
>>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.
>>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.
>>3273659
idk i use to think it was just all bout the games but in reality having them on them on a cd/cartridge make me want to play it rather then just load it from a bunch of files on 1 machine.
>>3273662
Then you're stuck never playing games.
>>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.
>>3273675
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
Is that you, John Wayne? Is this me?

>>3274386
Haha, it isn't me in the picture. I'll give you the cable wad, as we record videos and stream a lot it's easier to have it out in the open. The Panorama makes it look as we sit far away, but we don't.
I'm not ton that "battlestation" shit...
I like to keep It like it used to be, just a console plugged to a CRT. Like old times.
Thats why I like to keep everything out of sight.

Those Phillips TVs are fucking god-tier too. Great setup.
>>3274456
It has been a trusty partner for many years but is starting to turn in now. Will soon have to replace it. I will drink to it's honor when that day comes!

>>3274442
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.
>>3274432
You just don't have the room so you really have no choice.

How would I go about repairing the transformer? Is a multimeter required to test this?
>>3274801

>>3275901
How come? It's a retro room. While gaming is the main focus I want it to feel like a cozy 90's room.
>>3273828
Thanks, the whole house is wall to wall wood. I am the comfiest I've ever been. Needs some updates but I'm not replacing anything until it's necessary.
2 months ago I only had a Samsung 24" tube upstairs. Found the 27" trinitron at a garage sale for $15

Possibly my favorite setup in the thread. It just looks simple, functional, yet you obviously still put some thought into it. Also, anyone who takes the time to put together a half-decent dedicated sound system is okay in my books.

I mean obviously, but at least most of us aren't sprawled on the floor in a nest or cords and consoles. If I'm going to be a man-child, I'm going to take pride in my interests. That isn't a 'battlestation' its a bunch of consoles on the floor.

Yeah. I'm kind of torn right now. It's currently in the same room. And honestly the wiring is a complete mess.

Always a japanese saturn in these shelf pics, are the black saturns a dying breed these day?
>>3280036
You should sell the nomad, It's worth too much to hang onto if you're not going to display it, the utility just isn't there. Also, why do you have 3 dreamcast?
>>3280631
Dreamcast fans hoard them because they are finicky af. I have 2 myself.
>>3280651
The gdrom drive is made of cardboard, I agree. I'm hoping to get a gdemu one day, if I could ever order one in time.
What really bothers me is how much sturdier the saturn is, the cdrom drive on that thing is fucking crazy resilient.
>>3280628
I have a black PAL unit on top of the ps on top of the NES in the upper left.
>>3280651
I got lucky. I bought mine in 2000 and had to replace it a year later while it was still under Electronic's Boutique warranty. Been using the same one ever since.I should look into getting a spare...
>>3280036
>>3280704
I bought my white one at EB used when the DC was going under (first home console I ever bought, parents wouldn't help fund my gaming), and it still works 90% of the time. I also have a black SEGA Sports model that I keep as a spare, also it's dope looking and I can use the shell if it dies.
>>3280712
Yeah, I love the black for Sega consoles. I was thinking of getting one and stripping off the stupid sports logo, though.
>>3280736
Yeah... the sports logo is the only downside. I bet you can find new replacement shells out of china now though, i haven't looked in awhile. Most of my DC stuff is currently in storage.
>>3280751
It would probably come off with a bit of rubbing alcohol, I bet.
>>3280785
Literally any SONY. Don't get an HD CRT and try and get something with S-Video if possible, SCART if you're a yuropoor. I play everything with composite on a low-end SONY PVM but if you go to the CRT thread they'll shit on you for that.
>>3280751
Why the fuck are you nerds triggered by sports

Would the Sony trinitron be good?

Yes, Trinitrons, be they consumer or professional are the best you can get.
>>3280798
Great thanks, found one on gumtree, going to try and pick it up.
>>3280793
I don't actually care, I've had the DC forever and do not plan to alter it. It's just a gaudy logo on a sleek looking box. It is what it is. And the 2K Sports titles on DC are rad.

>>3280597
I have a black Saturn in my pic, I got it two days ago with trade credit from some resale shop. I dont think i was going to rewatch cat in the hat anytime soon
Shitty quality pic
>>3280785
If you live in Europe be sure your "new" CRT is able to display NTSC! Mi Thompson failed on that, to me. I cant play my japanese games even through my VCR...
>>3272775
Literally no one cares
>>3282927
That has to be old. Most sets from late 1990s to 2000s could handle it.
>>3272072

>>3284580
>>3284595
Not OP,What's wrong with owning a retron? Shit is great for rom dumping. Also, that's not a model 3 majesco genesis and the psone is fine.
>>3284749
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.
>>3284749
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).
Shitty phone pic, but the 64 is by the Xbox, and all the games are in the bottom shelf of the desk.
I think there's like 60 something in there right now.
>>3284940
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.
>>3280518
that tv looks awesome anon, I love weird shit like that. 9/10
>>3286896
It's great for people who don't want to shell out for/can't find a good deal on a SNES or Genesis.
>>3286920
Yeah, I love big over sized buttons and unique stuff like this.
I have a CRT that's got big tactile knobs and it'sjust fun to turn them. Too bad it's an 8" and shitty for gaming on.
>>3274912
I suggest you to switch the Wii and Dreamcast positions, while Wii is front loader, Dreamcast needs the CD open, and so close to that floor would make the system overheat.
I figured this would be the best thread to ask- I recently found a Sony Trinitron kv-1326r in my attic. I can't seem to find any A/V ports on this thing. Am I just retarded or does it really not have any?
>>3276932
You guys think you might be sitting a bit too close together?
Fags...
>>3276048
As long as it's bug-free and shit, I would not mind this at all.
Just moved so big changes coming but here's my most recent shot
>>3272995
>5" kitchen tv
Not that anon you replied to but you look kinda stupid, that's an oscilloscope
>>3288150
Then why the fuck is it in the middle of his battlestation? Any time he needs to probe something he just kneels in front of it >on carpet or something?
I also don't see any leads coming out of the front, like anything made in the past 30 years. "Muh vintage oscilloscope" , yeah whatever buddy have fun with your 5 mhz bandwidth.
If it is an oscilloscope, he's just preening for muh science cred. There's really no use for that in the middle of his MODERN LCD setup, maybe if he had some weird apple 19 khz monitor and handmade sync converters in a rackmount setup it would make sense.
Posted before in a CRT thread. Won't post again until it's been updated in some way.
Finally got everything rigged up in a way I thought was battlestation worthy.
>>3273012
You're better off getting a RAM Adapter and an FDS Stick or even the EverDrive is decent at FDS stuff (the extra sound is the weak point). The Sharp Twin is a really nice Fami at any rate, but real FDS units are just a huge pain in the ass.
>>3288042
>Boba Fett getting eaten by the Sarlacc Pit
>Hotline Miami poster
Awesome.
Great setup, but what is that box your Power Glove is resting on?
Pic related is my current battlestation. This generation of console gaming has sucked so hard, I've been using my retro station almost exclusively. I've got a switch in the back so I can run my retro consoles through an upscaler to the LCD screen, in case I have friends over and we wanna play something together on a bigger screen.
>>3288305
>Donkey Kong '94
>Commodore 64
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.
>>3288470
Just my retro station. I'm still hunting for a better stereo amplifier, this one is a little finicky, even after a good cleaning, but I like it because it's so compact. Unfortunately, hipsters are driving up prices for retro audio equipment just as much as retro games.
>>3280005
Why do you have both a Wii and a Gamecube (with no Game Boy Player) hooked up?
>>3280512
>Vertical integrated VCR
That's so cute.
>>3288470
I bought the C64 as an adult and haven't actually used it that much since I don't have a disk drive. I think I'd eventually like to replace it with a C128.

>>3272067
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.
>>3294632
this is the remote
![latest[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/2Ee2RaK.jpg "latest[1].jpg")
>>3294632
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.
>>3272067
Mine puts yours to shame.
>>3288363
this picture is nice, almost too nice
I bet some dork will have this as their desktop background in 20 years
>>3272084
Is that a sony sports walkman? that's awesome. haven't seen one since I got one for my birthday when they were new.
>>3296645
Aw thanks, anon. I'm really happy with it. I got a Turbo EverDrive since I took the picture so it's even more radical now.
Work in progress. Everything in the pic other than the LCD, I've obtained this week (including the bench). The setup is a bit too low so I'm probably going to get a second bench to stack on top of it.
I'm probably going to have to figure out another solution for the LCD since it'll be way too high for comfortable viewing.
>>3297904
I also got two 13" panasonic broadcast monitors and getting an additional BVM-20F1U on monday. I think it's a bit too much but they are super hard to find in my area, so I'm picking it up just in case and will decide what I'll do with all the extra monitors later.
I'll probably be using one or two of the 13" ones on my computer desk
i have my old games down in the basement in this sorta living room type setup. recently grabbed a small folding table i can quickly stash away when not playing steel battalion.

He's right tho, the toys do ruin it, make it feel retro without making it look kiddy

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.
also that pole is metal not wood.
Discrot is on its way, enjoy physical retromedia while it lasts fellas
My setup works alright.
It's just a little 13" CRT on my desk next to my computer.
I do want to get a bigger CRT now, but I'm about to renovate my kitchen which involves knocking out a wall so I'm going to have to adjust my entire layout.
That, and I kind of chose to get a Neo-Geo MVS instead of a big CRT, but maybe I can get both with a bit of shuffling.

Sell me that TV man... or atleat tell me the model number so I can hunt one down.
>>3301718
Thanks friend, it took a lot of waiting for free shit to randomly pop-up to put it together. Considering I live in a one bedroom apartment, I think I made a pretty good use of the limited space while maintaining a decent level of comfy.

Why limit yourself to the low-tier western libraries?
>>3302590
I use ROMs mostly to aid my collecting…

Get some big bigger than 40 inches pleb.

So how do you have it outputting to both monitors at once? Any reason for that?
Nice setup though! Would love to get a CRT or broadcast monitor but it's expensive + I still need to get an amp and speakers for audio stuff.

I suggest having your HDTV on another wall entirely. Especially if you're like me, and tend to watch a lot of movies.
>>3302565
So many things wrong here I dunno where to begin.

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.

you jelly bro?
>>3302697
I was thinking the same thing.
>>3302565
I really like the shotgun, but that's about it
>>3302691
Yeah, only problem is that I want to keep all my consoles together, and I want to use both the wii and ps3 on the LCD and CRTs. Plus my sound system stuff will be here too, and it would be a pain/unsightly to have wires running to another wall
>>3301572
I have loads of Milkcrates, I should.
>>3301529
your a pig. get your shit together.

Something about this screams "Britbong", but I'm not sure what...

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!
