Handhelds and consoles go in separate sections.
You have black consoles mixed up with gray/white/silver consoles, instead of separating them into neatly conforming areas.
You have way too much shit on that TV stand and need a larger one or more stands around it.
old pic but idgaf
>>3172685
Pros:
>Nice gaming area, looks comfortable
Cons:
>Shit all over the place. Wires hanging out everywhere, weird box thing that everyone tries to get that fits one console per shelf spot with huge overhead areas that are wasted, tons of wasted space in some of those cubes
>Lots of random shit on the walls
>Way too much room dedicated to simply cases, looks like a collector who never plays his games
>Fucking glass display case of random shit that doesn't matter and no one needs to stand at and look at in a glass case

Nothing is "hooked up" because I move SD consoles to my Trinitron when playing. I'm not playing on a plasma.
There is a special place in hell for those who keep their controllers plugged in, and not put away safely.
>>3172685
Comfy enough. I like the glass display case in the back
>>3172685
more pics of that (arcade?) board under N64/GC gamepads shelf please
Not the first time I posted my battlestation in one of these threads, but it's always nice to hear some feedback.
>>3172847
Not that anon. It's a Super Advantage SNES stick.
>>3172685
I like your TV anon and the stand anon
I've posted before, lots not pictured and could be organized better. Just no time and haven't been home cause of uni, almost done though and I have a few ideas.
>>3172852
Looks comfy m8
>>3172879
whats with all the shitty sports games for genesis?
not retro, but I have that same 3ds and I love it
>>3172879
classic black, crt, nice but needs cabinets or shelves,
>>3172995
>whats with all the shitty sports games
Sports fans bought sports games?
I am outgrowing my humble setup.
>>3172879
What a clusterfuck. How do you get to anything without knocking everything over?
>>3172995
I have all my good ones up at uni with me; Shining force 1&2, PS 2&3, Warsong, shining in the darkness, MK2, Toejam and Earl, a couple others. But the sports games were just what we got growing up mang, I was a three sport athlete and so were my brothers.
I wish I could upload the panorama pic because I got another neat CRT and more stuff in the room that's neat that you can't see.
>>3173387
I know, if I got a long short shelf to sit on top of the cabinet I think it'd look good, it's one of my current ideas to invest in.
>>3172995
Also, which 3ds haha the Pokemon one of the Zelda one. Poke one is a Jap release.
>>3173387
>nickelodeon clock
great taste, anon. got the same one. dont know how much of a nostalgiafag you are, but that setup seems like its straight out of the 2000. very nice.
minus theps2ofc.
>>3173602
P EZ, since I know where everything is and I rotate around how it's setup with what I'm playing. Ps1 is easiest to grab since I'm finishing up the remainder of my SRPGs and JRPGs; vanguard bandit, Kartia, and Arc 2
>>3173387
This looks comfy as hell by the way.
Here's mine. Any input is appreciated
>>3173660
WOAH HOLD UP HERE WHATS UP WITH THAT TINY DOOR OR ARE YOU A GIANT!?
>>3173678
indeed i am.
Nah, it's just a storage closet. I keep my controllers in bins in there. The roof just continues to slant down along the ceiling into the closet. Pretty impractical design but it suits my purposes just fine. Here's a slightly bigger pic so you can see better.
>>3173691
Haha figured, but in seriousness, pretty fuckin sweet set up my dude.
>>3173698
Thanks, anon. I love it. Pretty darn comfy
Bumping for interest. Whatchu workin with /vr/troopers?

I didnt even see the zelda one at first
>>3172665
Wall of stuff.
All these consoles with shit not plugged in
>>3173890
Yee, I'm planning on learning the basic moon runes and building off that this summer, one of the ways I'll test and write and translate lines is through games, on the jap 3ds and a NTSC-J PS1 that's on an I pictured shelf; plan on doing FF 4 through 9 over a long period if time permits it and I don't learn too slowly. I know the games really well, and I learn extremely quickly, so I figure With something fairly complex like learning moon runes, If I focus at it and if I find ways to incorporate my hobbies into it that I'll be able to eventually stumble through it.
So many jap exclusive games that I want to appreciate.
>>3173961
That tv is fuckin neat-o
old setup had PVM but currently working on making it a PC monitor...
>Actually prefer this tho for snes and other consoles.
I hung the TV in the closet and then filled with crates full of systems.
>>3172665
>no regular new 3ds
Enjoy your flimsy xl plastic
>>3173612
That system came out in 2000 so it fits actually

Can I come over to play?
>>3174634
i'm still looking for one,
i found this beautiful trinitron in the streets a few month ago, sadly i couldn't fix it's horizontal line issues, so i had to let it lose.
>>3174665
the vhs and xbox are also street finds btw.
>>3174642
I wish man. My brother is stationed right now and my other buddy is living in Florida now, I have no one to game with.
>>3174665
Comfy looking.

I have a PSone but I use the PS2 for that disk speed up.
>>3173621

>>3173660
Looks good for the space you have, I would put the duplicate consoles in a concealed storage though.
>>3173761
Nice display that needs more play
>>3173943
the shelving and stands seem positioned weird.
matching is nice though.
>>3173961
all you need. very nice.
>>3174017
love sets with matched stands, maybe mount the speakers on the wall/small shelves to the sides of the tv
>>3174248
ingenious, might I suggest a tapestry or tablecloth wrapped around the crates. made my old setup classy.
>>3174479
quality audio is nice anon, a better stand would make it look good.
>>3174248
May I ask why you have a bag of chocolate chips in there
Oh what the heck, I haven't posted in one of these in a while and I just cleaned the basement anyway. And yes, I have a mess of cables behind the TV, fucking deal with it.

Some more storage:
PS2, Wii, Gamecube, NES, Atari, some other shit.
>>3175336
Other tv in my room - which actually does 480p, 720p, and 1080i - amazingly.
Xbox (my favourite console) and PS1 hooked up
Also, Mario Kart telephone! Woo!
>>3174769

Because anyone who leaves their controllers plugged in is total swine
In the past week, I've played Castlevania 1, SOTN, and Sonic Advance on the Gameecube GBA playerAnd I play on the Xbone and WiiU way more than the PS4 :^)

What do you mean? Every single pic posted here has some consoles & games. How do we not have the "equipement?"
>>3177123
I actually don't go there, I keep it there as a visual reminder of how I should have went there. I was top 98-99% in my state academically along with athletic stuff but I chose not to go to the schools I should've/got into and went to a mediocre one. Blame it on me being an idiot and poor guidance counseling/advice.
End of blog.

So? All that means is only 11 or 12 people have the gumption to actually snap a pic of their stuff.
>>3177214
havent posted a picture yet, now we have 2 carpetfags
Cool
My setup, got a hidden ps2 in between the TVs and a genesis in the other room.
>>3172665
You should use a bleach cleaner or something on your poor NES and SNES.
Pardon the mess of cords and shitty picture quality.

>>3179165
I got both the Dreamcast and Saturn after 2000.
>>3179191
Yes. I've only got House of the Dead 2, but I do play it pretty frequently with a friend. Haven't beaten it yet though. We suck.
And yes that is a Laserdisc player. Got all my Laserdiscs in the closet. Just watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory the other day. Planning to do my yearly screening of the Wall and Brave Little Toaster soon.

>>3175101
Your speakers need to be at ear level. They'll sound like garbage if they're on the floor like that. I can't be bothered to find speaker stands either so my sound systems are 100% floorstanders.
Why do you people have both a PS1 and PS2?Should I be playing my PS1 games on a PS1?
>>3175062
>k'nex n64 game rack
Neat idea. Pretty good setup overall, but I'd get a better tv stand and get those consoles off the floor
I had been receiving some flak about no shelves, so I went balls deep and fixed that upon returning from Uni.
>>3179847
Twins Story hangs when played on a PS2.
I have a small corner to work with in my office. So far I have this TV stand I recently received along with the TV. I don't want it give up the stand for sentimental reasons, same for the TV, so for now I connect the systems and disconnect and store away when needed. Anyone have ideas for some stand or anything that can work to house about 4-8 systems? Just seeing what ideas you all have before I take a trip to Ikea or any other store.
>>3175062
The n64 game rack is dope my dude

>>3179920
2crowded4me
>>3180150
It's actually pretty open, I left out the pic of the fourth corner. I mainly lay on a queen sized bed that takes up said corner, but there's like a five by seven foot opening at the foot of the bed. But regardless I respect the feel, I just like the cave aspect of it. In the basement with all my vidya, truly enjoyable. Hopefully the MCAT goes well and leads me onto med school so not only will I have the job of my dreams but I'll be able to build a spectacular cave where even a man such as you shall not feel crowded.
>>3176312
>>3179182
I like the bottom pic too, nice and minimal - your favorite console and a few of your favorite games, no bullshit, no collector faggotry, no games that aren't being played, rotting on a shelf.
Definitely needs a couch or something though.
I like this one for the same reasons
>>3173961
P-please be kind. I'm sorry there's so much grain and how overly lit it is, Zenfone 2 camera is kinda trash in too bright/too dark.
Yes, SNES and NES have some aging (NES mostly), but I'm fine with it.
>Info:
Composite: NES (Front), SNES, N64, PS1 (over Digital Multi-Cable)
Component: Wii (but limited to 480i; doesn't matter, it uses one of the available ports.)
Wii/GC Games off Backup HDD, everything else is carts/CDs.
CRT is a Sony WEGA KV-32FS120 (32"). Got some weird curving issue on a portion of the screen, but otherwise is nice. Will be replaced whenever I get an LED + Framemeister.
>>3172665
It's rally cool, you have a lot of consoles. I used to have a battle station years back. Used to play retro games with my brother. Don't have pic, never took one
>>3172674
Do you not unplug your controllers when they're not in use? I mean, I understand if you know you're going to play the same console every day.
>>3173387

Pretty dope dude
>>3180894
...why?
>>3180894
But... why dude? Why not just leave them plugged in, what harm does that cause?
>>3181008
As opposed to wrapping them up around the controller, which I'm sure isn't good for them?
Or, why not just... rubber band the excess when you're done?
>>3181010
>Wrapping them up around the controller
Like a mouth breather? No.
Don't be a lazy ass. Just put them the fuck away.
>>3172674
just because you post on /vr/ doesn't mean "modern" is garbage

>>3180916
All those games
Multicart in the nintendo...
For what purpose?
>>3181013
>put them away
fucking how? Put them away where? How do you control the cable issue? Because right now I'm "mouthbreathing" pretty hard by wrapping it around my controllers.
>>3181030
Use your fucking imagination. Some people use their dresser. Others use bins. I use a cloth shoe rack that hangs on the inside of my closet door.
>>3181028
Haha yeah I thought about that. Just got the 150 multi cart for $25 a week ago and was playing some of the games I don't have. Funny point though.
>>3180927

>>3181118

Nice.
Everything's hooked up. Just not powered. Still considering how to optimise space for more consoles.
>>3181128
>more mordern shit then retro
I got a great idea for more space.
>>3181128
A majority of those consoles aren't retro. If you made a separate battlestation for non-retro consoles you would have more room.
>>3180028
Sorry, slightly retarded, where do you live that you don't have basements? Or do you just mean a fully above-ground house? That sounds slightly odd.
>>3181179
Dutch homes don't have basements because of flooding potential.
>>3181179
Most countries weren't paranoid enough to build underground basements in the case of nuclear war like the US
>>3181179
Netherlands, about 95% of the buildings here dont have basements.
its just not a thing here, maybe cause we have high ground water or whatever its called.
>>3181198
So how do you explain all the basements built before the advent of the A-bomb?
>>3181179
NY
Too poor to have one
>>3181226
Furnished basements were incredibly rare before the mid 20th century, even in the US. Many older houses that have basements today were originally built with cellars.
I would love a basement for my stuff, right now its all in the attic.
But with those arched walls it leaves little space for framed retro game posters.
>>3181471
this is what the basement looks like before i filled it with stuff, it's roughly a 1905 house (not even the city knows for certain)
>>3181778
hope it's rental.
>>3181807
not as bad as it looks and there is a shit ton of redundancy, passed inspection too. i will have a second pass at them anyway.
>>3181118
Best thing in the whole thread.
>>3181807

Because the majority of actual not-shit units (READ: HDTVs) that hardcore CRT fans and /vr/ gamers use are outdated/old as fuck compared to what's on the market today.
>>3174002
not him but it's a panasonic ag-500. it's limited to composite but the image quality is decent. apparently they were mostly intended for educational use or playing promotional material on repeat.

>>3173775
those fucking things don't work worth a shit. I bought one that was SUPPOSED to split audio off from HDMI. fuck if either one of them worked.
I'm trying to get my own battle station up and running currently. Only thing I'm waiting on is getting some video switches so that I can hook up all my consoles to the TV at the same time since my Trinitron only has one set of outputs.
Can any of you guys recommend a good one for svideo? I had one picked out, the JVC JX - s333 which I like because it converts the video signal to ypbpr, but strangely I can't seem to find it being sold anywhere, not even second-hand. Anyone know anything similar?

that alarm clock.
lots of good memories waking up to it and watching X-Men the cartoon show and playing Sega Channel.
>>3172685
That Intellivision II looks so cozy on top of that NES. Think I'll do that too once I get a new place and am able to bail my consoles out of storage.
>>3184843
yous welcome
>>3184843
I'm sorry, but I'm always triggered by people who keep their games in the cardboard boxes. It tells me a number of things. One is that they're likely a collector who specifically overpaid for cardboard, since nobody actually kept their boxes from their childhood game collections. The other is that you value the collection over the game playing, because the box doesn't offer any actual protection or convenience in storing the game, and actually just takes up space and makes it more of a hassle to take out a game and play it.
>>3184812
Wait... are those cardboard boxes... inside plastic boxes?
>>3185826
Yeah, it's these acrylic cases for game boxes. Kinda surprised that's your first exposure to them.
>>3185823
>since nobody actually kept their boxes from their childhood game collections
Not everybody was 5 when they played their N64 games.
Did someone say battlestations
>>3185838
This. I was 12 when I got my n64 so by then I know better. It's the boxes to my NES and SNES games that got junked save for a few exceptions.
>>3185871
That's right, they did. So why did you post some shelves instead of your TV like everyone else?

Actually, I did save all of my N64 game boxes, and I was also 12 when I got my N64. I've had them collapsed in a storage bin for years. I still have a few of my SNES boxes as well. I never actually kept my games in them, though, what the hell is the point? It's illogical on all fronts, unless you're a collectorfag and are just showing off. The damn carts themselves are more durable than the boxes, and if you're such a tool that you buy plastic boxes to store your cardboard boxes in like this guy >>3185831, that's even more hilarious. All it does is make it that much more inconvenient to actually play your games.

Blegh.
>>3185872
I actually have the box to my copy of Zelda 2, somewhere, only because I got it phenomenally late. I think my mom got it for me as a Valentine's Day present in 1997. It's weird to think that NES games were still available at regular retail that late.
Trying to find a good way to hook all this up without making it look like shit
>>3185872
Yeah? You "knew better"? Let me tell you something, you little autistic faggot: no one kept the damn cardboard boxes video games came in at any age, unless the person was a full grown adult. Why? Because nobody was enough of a moron to keep literal garbage in their rooms and houses, because cardboard boxes get torn open and get weak and flimsy, which is the same reason MISB toy collectors are idiots. You like keeping a fucking comingled recycling bin on your shelf? No, you only do it because you and your millennial hipster shit friends assigned value to that crap. So yeah, have fun telling lies on an Oriental knitting website about how you were "smart" and "knew better" than other people to keep literal, worthless garbage on hand (just like your mother did with you, genetics am I right?), while the rest of us, the REAL gamers and oldfags know your a lying sack of semen who just used daddy's Visa on eBay to buy Earthbound and try and look cool to the NEET neckbears on 4chan. Fuck you.
And this

Yes, I knew better. In 1997 I joined a game trading website and it became immediately apparent that having the box and/or instructions made your product more desirable and valuable. No reason to get mad at me that the "garbage" you so hastily threw out is now worth double-digit dollars.
>>3185897
Oof. I'm anti-cardboard and even I think you need to dial it back a little.
>>3185895
You need a massive A/V receiver, and you need to bundle and zip-tie cables together along the backs of your shelving units as much as possible. Run everything to the back of your receiver and make sure it's tucked away. It will be a pain if you ever need to unhook anything, but that's the price you pay. And of course that only works if you're doing basic video formats like composite, component or s-video. If you're going the RGB route, your options become even more limited.

>the "garbage" you so hastily threw out is now worth double-digit dollars
It's a weird thing.I have all of my N64 boxes and most of my SNES boxes. I wouldn't sell them because they're mine, but I also wouldn't dare pay for them if I were buying a retro game because they're fucking cardboard. The only people that actually care about the boxes are resellers and collector scum. I don't ever plan on reselling my game collection, so they're actually still just worthless cardboard to me.
I suppose if I'm ever in a pinch I can sell just my garbage on ebay to some pathetic millennial hipster. Probably worth a month or two of rent.

holy shit i played a l;ot of top gear rally as a kid. my neighbor had south park rally but it wasn't that good.

>my neighbor had south park rally
I often overlook how much of my video gaming experiences were shared with neighbors and friends. Borrowing and renting games was a big deal back then, it's how I played a lot of stuff that I never actually owned. I'd say that mentality is dead, but honestly, proper gaming as a whole is dead among the younger demographic. Anyone still playing consoles is probably old enough to buy their own games and not have to rent/borrow.
When I was little, my mom was very reluctant to buy an N64. My neighbor got one (he was a fucking spoiled shit), but he got the worst fucking games. Killer Instinct and Mortal Kombat. Why two fighting games? He probably thought Mario was for babies or something.
>>3186020
I used to play Killer Instinct at one of my friends house. But our most played game was the wrestling ones. The mixed kid had NWO vs WCW and I had all the good WWF games. My neighbor across the street had the one shitty WWF game on n64.
And there is probably still kids that play games split screen. The xbox 360 had plenty of split screen games for todays youngfags. Heard some games are dropping splitscreen on new consoles and tells users to play online now.
But yeah, I'm kinda like you. If a neighborhood kid had a game there wasn't much reason to buy the same fucking game as him when you can just go over there and play it. Together in total in the neighborhood we all probably had a good majority of the n64 library. We also together had good portion of the good snes games as well.

>implying the glow of my crt and the one lamp I have in the room is going to damage the boxes in the slightest.
I keep the blind in this room closed. No actual sunlight is actually touching any of this
>>3185823
I actually prefer both the collecting and game playing aspects of the hobby. Also I'm not some eBay fag buying things at full price. I hold out for deals and trade with local folks who can also appreciate both sides of the hobby.
I'm sorry you get so triggered by such trivial things such as other people's interests.
>>3186110
And I'm sorry you're scum.

What the fuck did I walk into?

Fuck off retard
Also, Collecting is a byproduct of playing games on actual hardware. You literally can't do one without doing the other.
Fucking hell. I don't know where you anti-collector retards came from, but I wish you would all leave. /vr/ didnt have this problem when it was first made.
I'm beginning to suspect that you're all resellers who are butthurt you can't add more shit to your inventory.

What an odd reaction? It's curious when people react this way.
>>3186178
Jesus man. If you're going to emulate at least use something accurate.
>>3186183
Snes9x is the 2nd most accurate emulator. Idk wtf you're bitching about. Also, speed > accuracy.

kek. its funny to me how you are actually satisfied with this and say it like it's a good thing.

I can't play real retro consoles, I need that framerate++++++

Go back to your cardboard boxes, you degenerate.

Too many people using ZSNES think it's good. It's fucking garbage.
