>that screen to the left
Is that the bridge in morrowind where some asshole in the middle of it conjures a spear and attacks you?
Heres mine, its my living room so i try to keep it as tidy as i manage
>>3131892
Talking about my battlestation, how the hell do i solve this mess? Im starting to loose signal when i split a console output for streaming and i dont know what to do
> pic related
>>3130947
Not mine. I found it on google.
Guess the guy sells them.
>>3131897
buy a tv/monitor with a video output so you only need one interconnect?
>>3131087
Holy shit I love this room. All that paneling and exposed beams. It's like living on a boat.
>>3131001
right after you glued everything to the ceiling
My modest setup. I swear I'm not a Japanese girl.
>>3131897
>using composite
Found your problem
>>3132068
Looks pretty japanese girl from here. Two n64s, and such a small tv.
>>3132094
wrong picture.
>>3132082
But i want to use composite, its cheap and good enough for what i want to do with the consoles. My problem is that i loose a lot of signal because i have a three plug to another three plug to a five plug. Basically i want something that can handle around 8 to 10 composite inputs without losing output signal
>>3132094
The mtg cards, i have around 11k in that big box with the owls
>>3131087
you definitely live in WA, right?
>>3132101
I have the same gameboy case!
>>3132128

>>3131069
It definitely is. Fuck that stupid puzzle box.

>Atari
Got all the bases covered, I see.
I'd upload the panorama but it's too large for on here.
>sorry for non retro, I took this awhile ago and a friend from college had wanted to know my set up
>the 360 is not hooked up to a CRT, had a guy wig out about that once in a picture I uploaded.
>PC, jap PS1 and FF4-9 NTSC-J versions, Sega Genesis, another CRT, some other non retro, and retro posters not pictured.
It's growing!
Games are kept on a shitty book case on the other side of the room until I can get some wall shelves.
>>3132068
u a sideways girl senpai
>>3131001
cool pic spiderman
>>3132075
Reminds me pleasantly of the dank cyberpunk-aspiring basement where I spent my teenage years.
I'm above ground now, but I too am a projector user. Do you use a VGA hookup for your dreamcast? Composite anything is disgusting on my projector, so I mostly use a CRT security monitor for /vr/ stuff.
>>3132830
Yeah it's VGA. That's why I had it on because it's the only progressive scan /vr/ console. The projector can do 240p RGB as well but I haven't constructed a SCART cable for it.
>>3133517
Room space is non existent In that room ha, I do agree though. Maybe I can figure something out, it's pretty much an accumulation of everything I've ever owned growing up so the display process hasn't been on the forefront, especially when I'm rarely there during university. If I could get some long and short shelves that'd probably work, and I could probably move the antlers hanging above elsewhere.
>>3130659
my room
>>3133535
>>3133549
That's just how he stores his consoles. I think it's pretty neat.
>>3133517
Curious you mention that, ive been lurking for one for a week now, but they are ridicously expensive here, i think ill buy an snes and an everdrive
I have no idea where to put it tought
>>3132068
what tv? I love it.
>>3132097
>>3132094
>>3133672
Not her but her "TV" is a 10 inch PVM monitor similar to the 14" you can see in my upstairs battlestation at the lower left of the 60"
>>3133663
>snes everdrive
Bruh...
>>3133813
Well excuuuuuuse me princess
Im sorry but the snes doesnt mean much to me, i didnt have one growing up and none of my friends had one. I want to have an snes to play games on the system but im not gonna spent tons of money on overpriced games i dont feel nostalgic about
>>3131087
now THAT'S a bedroom
>>3133846
It's actually my living "area", the saloon doors are a bedroom and the utility/laundry room.
>>3132101
is in the loft, right above the window in this pic.
>>3134428
Do you live in the woods?
>>3134450

>>3132272 is my "yard" the house across the valley on the top left is my closest neighbor close to a mile? away.
Fuckin' wildlife out here shitting on everything and eating all the damn toys smhtbhfam
>>3134428
Ash trays and childrens books? Don't poison your kids, man!
>>3132128
Jealous of that tv man.
>>3134763
It's a candle holder.
>>3130659
>how never to get laid 101
>>3134428
maximum comf
>>3133549
i use my computer for all games i dont have plus i can use wireless pad
>>3133808
Where do you guys find these? Do you pay for the ludicrous shipping online? What are they worth?
>>3133808
don't be pedantic basement anon
>>3136547
what the hell does pedentic mean
>>3136238
I bought that one on eBay and picked it up to avoid shipping. I also have a 20" in the basement that I got for $1 plus $40 shipping then ended up getting for free because the seller shipped me a different, rougher monitor than the one in the auction I'm guessing he was unhappy with my purchase price but that was his fault for starting at $1 with no reserve.
>>3136547
Come on man it was only the quotation marks that were pedantic. Literally everything else was answering Anon's question.

MOT RETRO
what the fuck happened to /vr/ in the last few weeks
>>3137096
what do you mean?
& a PS2 slim hiding behind the smaller monitor.
>>3130838
kekd
All the good shit.
Miss my snes tho
>>3137674
I'll sell you mine for an extremely inflated price of $5000
>>3137679
I sold mine plus all the games for 75 bucks
I don't even remember what I bought with it. Which makes it more painful.
I just wanna play avp and choplifter again man
>>3137674
>no NES
>no SNES
>no Genesis
>no Atari 2600
>all the good shit
Nice beer stein though I guess.
>>3130659
I no longer live in this apartment, but man it was retro cozy heaven
>>3137692
Tbh, I am considering selling mine. I find retro computers more interesting. I will keep my 2600 though.
How many games did you sell with it?
>>3137702
I was never much of a Nintendo/sega guy but I had the nes and snes for a few years.
>>3137708
Oh it had to be over 25 games.
I got it all from a garage sale for like ten bucks.
>>3137708
And i would hold on to it. I forgot all about it until recently, and I regret it now so vehemently. Think I was like 15 at the time I sold it all. Stupid shit. I hope I didn't buy weed with the money.
>>3137717
Nowadays you could have sold it for a few hundred! In seriousness though, it is a nice console but it is best to sell popular consoles after a time to ensure that people can still get one.
>>3137707
Pros
>Real furniture
>Classic bike and proper lock
>Sound system perfect--I hope you have good taste in music
>Receiving over-the-air television like a civilized person
Cons
>Questionable decorating--where's the color? Why is everything beige?
>Unfortunate blinds, curtains, and A/C unit
>Antenna alignment questionable--generally you want to form a plane with the "ears" perpendicular to the direction of your local transmitters.
And that Panasonic(?) unit under the TV: is that a VCR or a Laserdisc player? It looks like a VCR, but it's huge!
>>3137764
Thanks for the itemization review. Lets get to it:
Beige carpets and walls were out of my control via landlord. The rest of the colors I take responsibility for.
I have no idea how an atenna works and I'm glad you pointed it out.
The Panasonic is a VCR, from early 2000s, the last functional one I own (out of maybe 15 units)
>>3136654
That Saturn man, it looks so sad.
The pictures my phone takes are always so grainy.
Games and controllers in the cabinet. Cables under the rug go to a projector.
The video monitor is small, but just the right size to curl up on the floor with some pillows in front of it.
>>3137812
Hey I have that video switchbox.
>>3137774
Oh good, you also have a NES. Get a small square bin or basket for those loose cartridges instead of just leaving them lying all over the place.
>>3137890
You know, you aren't the first person who has said that to me. Maybe they were really commonly available in chain electronics stores in a certain era, so now everyone has one. I don't know where they were sold, originally. I got mine from a nice old middle eastern man running a semi-sketchy electronics warehouse.
>>3137812
Pros:
>Real hardware
>Appears clean and tidy
Cons
>Teensy tv
>Looks like an elementary classroom
>A horse dick hanging out under your rug.
>Yellow Altec Lansing pc speakers
bigger tv and better cable routing would be a good start
>>3137812
Get a bigger tv dude
13 inches should be enough for anyone.
>>3137936
There's nothing wrong with even 10" PVMs you just get "cozy" with it. It's the 5" size where it starts getting silly how close you would need to be but unlike commercial TVs the fidelity doesn't decrease with small size.
>>3137934
>>3137707
I've seen this pic a bunch of times on the chins and I love it. Everything looks so cozy, especially that couch and coffee table.
>>3137096
stop fucking complaining. Fuck off if you don't like the fucking thread. Complaining about /vr/ is just as bad as shitposts
>>3137967
>>3137764
I've posted it a few times before on other boards lol. and this is the new place. Not nearly as nice..
>>3137986
girls arent /vr/
>>3137986
Jesus christ excluding that laptop this image looks straight out of the fucking 90's
>>3137986
More of grills.
Like the setup, did you just move?
>>3134659
so fucking jealous right now.
Good for you anon.
>>3138419
you don't have to shovel moose poop out of the yard before the kids can play?
>>3138452
here's the mother in law cabin I am going to make into an arcade someday. Currently renting it out to help pay for mortgage/upgrades

>>3136654
>>3138638
lolololol
>>3138638
lmfao. yeah it's a shame I couldn't sit it correctly anywhere. keep faith lil homie.
flashcarts and mods for everything cept intellivision and coleco. got an oculus dk1, play a lot of brutal doom and windwaker on it. doubles are for linked play >that feel when no good friends
>>3140675
niice, you should build some shelves along either side of the tv and geet more room for consoles looking a little cramped but 'mirin all the things.
68hr work week, babby is at gram's, slept until after noon. Glorious
>>3137986
I have that same laptop
Not much has changed from mine last time I posted in one of these threads.
Still in the process of rearranging things, and trying to build another shelf so I can put my master system where the PSX and PCE are sitting.
>>3132272
Do people still act like they're from the 50s over there or has culture hit 80s-90s?
>>3137986
that crt on glass stand is making me extra nervous
>>3137890
do av swiches cause input lag?
>>3142618
Not at all unless they're doing some image processing like scaling or whatever but I've never seen an AV switcher that does that.
>>3138638
That must put extra tension on the cd spinny thing
>>3137986
random ass hammer on the couch
>>3142627
good to know, thanks
>>3142610
Its been sitting on that stand since 2012 and no issues. Worry not brother
>>3142698
The amount of sex I'd have in that living room is immeasurable
>>3142457
i like it a lot, clean, well organized , nice tv and great selection of consoles. are they all modded/flash carts?
>>3142698
what is that painting?
>>3142725
Everything but the AV Famicom, PS2, and Gamecube are modded and/or have a flash cart.
I swear to god, if ANY of you are using composite cables... I fucking hate you so much.
Look, you don't need SCART on everything, but at least have the decency to care enough to use s-video or component. Using composite is basically saying "I'm too stupid to know any better."
>>3137890
Broooooo, I had that same switchbox too!
I think I must've bought mine in a Circuit City or Radio Shack.
>>3137986
Oh shit, son. I have your receiver. Awesome setup, by the way.
Personally, though, I just plugged a computer into my LCD television with HDMI. Then I got a USB extension cord and plugged in my DualShock 4 to use a controller. Then I sit back, play some games. It feels alright.
No disrespect to anyone, but being 31 I didn't really enjoy having to use CRT televisions and monitors. I have much less eye strain with LCD after lengthy sessions on the computer.
>>3142698
I love your're room so much more from this angle.
>>3133535
Please understand.
Various systems are lent out to a gaming exhibition in town so its a mess.
Not been in the mood to sit and play games so stuff on chair
Shelf of memory's
>>3142462
Sarah Palin is her own special kind of stupid.
Naww, legalized public consumption of marijuana, less prosecution for minor offences, Trans working in box stores, peeps openly gay. Non-whites and women holding important positions in the workplace. Still a little xenophobic but I attribute that to being so far away from everyone. It used to be pretty behind but internet and social networking has caught us up to the rest of the us.
>>3132101
New tv and a second screen so the kiddo wont be blocking me all the time. Now to tune it up a little.
dark pic not enough battery for flash.
