I've seen your setups before and the rocket models are so fuckin comfy

What sizes do you recommend for a CRT? Is 13 inches too small?

>>9211531
Yes. If you're gonna place it in your desk in front of your face, anything less than 21 is too small IMO.

>>9211531
Mine is 14", it's perfectly fine for me
Obviously I'm sitting a lot closer to it than I do my 65" OLED

>>9211826
It's comfy, but I like/dislike that tv placement. I also enjoy that soft white lighting you got going on.

Forever in a state of setup in my game room. This week i'm going to take time to take a lot of the spare parts and put them in the basement since I have everything mostly hooked up the way I want. The PC on the desk dual boots XP/Win10 and I have another PC that's for Win98/DOS that's going to go on the floor.

As much as I love the PC speakers, they are my childhood speakers afterall. They sound bad and got to go. Have a pair of Jamo 803 in Walnut sitting in an amazon box for me to hook up.

Haven't figured out a good solution for light without glare, this corner is meant for a couch really but it fits all my shit perfectly, also yes I know cable management nightmare. The shelf liners look like shit too because I had some extra laying around and decided to cut to size yesterday, still need to get a plastic liner for the shelves.

Really wish I had a space like this for myself. I've got a bunch of old consoles and classic games, but I'm currently living in a 600 square foot, one bedroom apartment with my s/o for the next year or so. There's no space to set up beyond the living room flatscreen which isn't really ideal for this stuff..

Back to your containment board, maggot.

Somewhat temp setup. Getting a wire rack to put my consoles on today and some switches and cables in the mail sometime this week. It's comfy right now. Just trying to clean up a bit.

>>9215396
1. Lose those lights
2. Paint that wall a dark gray or some other neutral tone that isn't white
3. Get some thin stained plywood to put underneath the consoles, lose those white sheets
4. Get some warm lights to throw a little light on the back wall

1. Done
2. Can't paint because this is an apt although I'd like to.
3. Yes, I can do that. I just had those extra laying around. What I would like is to get some black plastic ones so I don't have to cut anything unless I can find plywood in approximate size.
4. Any wall mounted lights I can consider? The fuckin Adhesive strip already likes to tear chips of paint off the wall which is a bitch.

I'm retarded. How can I connect a Raspberry Pi4 to a CRT display?

>>9216468
Use a 3.5mm headphone jack to composite cable. I feel like there should be solutions for component and rgb but I'm not sure what they are.

>>9216468
Look up RGBPi or RGB hat for pi

>>9215708
Check your local Facebook marketplace/craigslist listings. People are always giving away furniture whenever they move and you can still find free CRT TVs if you look long enough. As for games, you can get by frugally with flashcarts and emulators on a modified console (or your own choice of hardware).

>>9216343
I wouldn't call it aesthetic looking, but I admire the ease of use and comfy level. Why do you have the PSX and PS2 hooked up at the same time though?

Just added the NGCD today.
I'm gonna have to rearrange a bunch of it again soonish, move the PVM to my computer desk and use that space for any consoles I can get wireless controllers for onto a small shelf in its place. I've officially run out of room inside the cabinet. below the TV is my 2600/5200/7800, Master System, and Intellevision, Odessey2 is in a closet along with a bunch of older computers that I just simply dont have space for.

All I need now is a CD-i, Coleco, and a Jaguar and I've got a full set.

The biggest redpill I get from all these images is that wood is soulful. Wood panelling on walls, wooden furniture, wooden shelving, you're being shafted if your walls are plaster or bare concrete and your furniture is metal or plastic. Wood is soulful and contains spiritual energy, never forget what they're trying to take from you

Based cassette tape case user. I probably made 1/3rd of those labels back in the day. never did get all of my carts cased though, I just tossed them last week.

>>9217796
What do those casette tape boxes look like inside? Are they modified or does the cartridge just float around in there?

>>9217981
Gba carts fit snugly between the prongs, and I snap off one prong so the other games will fit. But yeah, they have plenty of room to rattle around.

I took a picture, but the files way too big and I don't feel like fucking with it

Id like to make some pc engine cases from these cassette cases. Is there a site with any designs done ready for print out like the cover project has for cd cases or did you guys all custom job them?

>>9217981
like what >>9218090 said, gba fits between the prongs, gb/gbc needs them snapped off. I added a pice of cut up foam letters to one edge so it would hold the cartridge in place to keep it from rattling. you can see a couple pieces I stuck to the bottom of my gba for whatever reason.

I would go to goodwill and buy a bunch of like gospel/opera/home recorded copies of shit etc cassettes for like 10 cents each just to take the cases, sometimes they'd have empty cases as well so I'd grab those.

>>9218667
I haven't looked in years, dunno if its still around, but they were on the cover project. you'll have to search the forums for the cassette tape threads, since that was afaik never an officially supported case template.

I think most people used cd jewel cases for TG-16 cards, there is or was someone making inserts at the time to replace the cd tray in them.

>>9219836
KINO, i like that its sorta niggerigged with a bookcase on top of another bookcase and everything's just reasonably stacked together in such a small place. My room at the moment is kinda small so seeing this is inspirational.

Went from 2 CRT TVs to 1 (2005 HDCRT I had since it was new shit the bed after I accidentally blew something in it using the service menu… learning experience) and now I’m back up to 4. I also have a Sylvania 32 inch TV in storage that I’m going to sell.
Currently have two CRT monitors and 4 televisions.
1 32 inch 2002 Trinitron
2 27 inch 2003 Panasonic taus
And 1 27 inch 1999 Trinitron pictured here.
Paid a total of 50 dollars for all of them (32 inch tube was free, the two Panasonics were 15 a pop and the other Sony I haggled down to 20 bucks) and all of them have nice bright tubes. Got lucky on all of these as far as condition is concerned, I don’t like spending any money on them. I’d keep bringing them in but I don’t want to end up with 10 tvs and be that guy, and if I move it’s going to be a pain in the ass.
Took this photo when I was calibrating it. The stand is even for this model of TV, but for the 32 (or maybe it said 36) version some guy had at a yard sale for 10 bucks, so I have a pretty nice set up in my bedroom as well as the living room now too.

>>9221742

>>9221742
They look better on RF and composite signals, and have a very very fast refresh rate.

>>9221781
and my portables

>>9221742
Aside from just aesthetic preference/nostalgia
>The lower input lag thing is no joke and is why fighting game communities are so autistic about using CRTs
>A lot of old games would change resolutions for things like menus and it can wreak havoc on even the most expensive adapters
>Even though sometimes people struggle to find CRTs, once you have one in good condition all your retro shit will just work as intended and you never have to fuck with upscalers/adapters

And then of course, the aesthetics/nostalgia goes a long way for a lot of people. Consoles like the N64 and PS1 look like shit on modern displays, in my opinion. Nothing can replicate the way a CRT glows in a dimly lit room.

>>9221737

ive been hunting for viper phase 1 for years

>>9221742
it looks better

>>9221784
can you read japanese?
the japanese version of crystal is the best looking gb cart ever made

>>9221742
I'm >>9217353
several reasons
>1.modern displays are a little too sharp.
You get the video game equivalent of jpeg artifacts on a lot of games. some games were made with the inherent defects of low quality signals in mind, the most common example I'm aware of is the waterfalls in sonic, which used the blur CRT's provided in lower quality video signals to make it look like the water was moving. Composite (red/white/yellow cables) and RF (that single cable that has to screw into your tv with the thin wire prong in the center) look like absolute ass on modern TV's, if your TV even supports those, which these days it probably doesn't.
>2. better color contrast.
OLED displays are getting very close to the contrast that CRT's are able to provide, but they aren't 100% there yet. Basically, a black area on a CRT is truly black, no light is going to that area. its the equivalent of just simply not providing power to black LED's. Non OLED displays still have signal going to that area when black so you dont get "true black" display in those areas but rather an extremely dark grey. this applies to other colors too but black is the most obvious.
>3. Input scaling and lag.
CRT's are analogue systems, it doesn't care about i's and p's in your signal, it doesn't care if its 4k or 240. Its just a signal, going to a chunk of metal, that spits electrons at a sheet of metal with some holes poked in it. Think of it like a record player. It doesn't care how much effort you put into making that record, at the end of the day its just a pointy bit of metal riding in a groove that sounds funny when the groove gets smaller or wider.

>>9221983
As such, the size of the image you're sending your tv is irrelevant, because it doesn't care. it could be an atari 2600, or a ps3, its all just light being thrown at a chunk of glass. modern displays however do care, that atari has a very small image, and that image is displayed in a certain way. the display has to determine if every other line is drawn (interlaced) or if every line is drawn (progressive). it just spits shit out to a sheet of metal. In a modern digital display, it has to scan the image, determine if its every line or every other line, determine what the size of the image is, and then shrink or grow the image to fit the size that the screen can handle. all this computation and decision on the part of the tiny simple computer inside your modern TV takes time, which creates a lag between you hitting a button on your controller, your console noticing that input, and the TV displaying that input. Thus, input lag. There are devices that do all this computing work for you at very high speeds so that your TV doesn't have to, but these devices are very expensive. Framemeisters are the typical go-to for that kind of work for example.

>4. image quality
theres also the whole scan line issue thing. some people like it, some dont. its a personal preference. its a quirk of the CRT display that some people really need for honestly a mostly nostalgic reason. CRT's do it naturally, obviously. But modern displays need some kind of in-between to add that in.

>5. cost
CRT's are cheap and/or free most of the time. you dont have to buy image converters like a framemeister or a retrotink, and you get all the aforementioned positives. its just the easiest way to go about things. Even in my case I use professional extron crosspoint switchers, and they're like a fraction of the cost of modern hdmi/component video switchers.

I like scanlines, the input speed, and the cost. If I could get an LED display that did all the same things, I would but that doesn't exist.

>however they are a fortune 500 company and with that come some advantages (price, R&D, etc)
its a shame they dont use some of that R&D to develop some mid range.

I'd rather use a blown out $15 bluetooth speaker than listen through a bose product with an EQ like a photo of stalin walking along the moscow canal.

>>9222775
Thanks, it's from Amazon. It should be the on the first page if you search "desk lamp". The lamp is from Aooshine, but the same style is sold under many brands. The bulb is a generic orange E26 bulb.

I play about 2 hours a day

>>9231416

>>9230612
I play pretty much as often as I can. The last year that hasn’t been much, had a big career change and have much less time now. Still probably 10+ hours a week but that’s nothing compared to how I used to play. I’ve actually tossed around the idea of selling some stuff off. I have 600+ games and no idea when the fuck I’m going to play them all, so it’s either that or try and keep everything in shape until I retire and then lock myself in a room with all of it until I die

So if I understand correctly, people don't handclap your $3000 nuGaymer setup on a retro board, on a retro setup thread, you get triggered and you proceed to act like an absolute faggot.
Got it now.

>>9230360
the analogue stick is fucked, infact its one of the worst on the market.
The shape of the controller is good, like its a good design. But the response of the stick, the actual thing thats soldered onto the board, is far too sensitive for 64 games, makes fine adjustment impossible. the closest aftermarket to a real controller is the tribute64 but even it has problems. the nintendo switch online n64 controller is also really good but idk of a way to use it with a real n64.

>>9233692
I've had two brawler64s crap out on me too
the tribute64 is what I switched to, i'm not an expert on analog sticks and deazones but to me it's great for the price
the only problem i have with the tribute is that it has a total deathgrip on the controller port so if youre switching controllers all the time it'll probably end up damaging the plastic around the port

Hey DC and N64 are even retro by the old rules and I use my PS2 to play PS1 games, that’s gotta count for something

>>9234438
Sure, sure. I'm just a little weird and barely consider SNES "retro".
Maybe I'm just too old...

My latest upgrade consisted of cutting down to essentials.

Flashcarts/HDD only.
Using the Wireless 2.4g 8Bitdo SNES controller for NES, SNES, and GB Player (GCN), using various adapters.
DualShock3 for PS2 (which I also use for PS1) using BlueRetro adapters.
The small drawer is enough for what I use most of the time, extra controllers and accesories are stored elsewhere.
Carts collection is also “preserved” elsewhere and I plan to sell most of it eventually.

>>9234442
>I'm just a little weird and barely consider SNES "retro".
My man I hate to break this to you but next year the thing is going to be 1/3rd of a century old

>>9234483
Sorry, I just can't call things I grew up with "retro" when there were older things like the 2600 that I always considered retro.
I mean, I know newer systems are old and allowed to be called that, but for me personally, nah.

>>9237302
dont feel bad anon
been striking out this year too

You've got to get Donny to uncover her family secret

serious question:
do you think the "tough love" ala 4chan shitposting doctrine fucks us up in real life?

like we seem so dark to normies we miss out on people who would potentially love us?


has it corrupted us all?

>>9237757
its purely a 4chan thing because most normal people aren't severely autistic and driven to a fit of tard rage over something as simple as video game trivia or some board lingo someone got wrong or didnt like

>>9237302
Don't worry about sex man, it's fleeting anyway unless it leads to kids which will last the rest of your life. Focus on yourself and try to get yourself where you want to be. I know it's not easy man, I'm still struggling with it and I've got the kids already and everything. You'll be alright.

>>9237757
there's no "us", and what you interpret as "tough love" is unfiltered freedom of expression and honesty. the social mannerisms which confine behavior and thought in real life don't exist here; and thus people will act, behave and speak as they truly would, as they truly are, rather than putting on a facade to avoid social ridicule. this allows the merit of ideas to reign above the status of those producing them, regardless of how they are delivered. if you can't separate your time spent on here from your ability to "hide" in society, then you're a weak-willed faggot and you need to leave.

>>9237757
We are not the ones who are corrupted. It's the rest of society that is corrupted.

>>9237958
nigger im pretty sure jacking off to loli futa porn is corrupt, you're not morally superior to the average normie degen kek

Figured since I'm here that I might as well ask. I just got myself a 29" CRT. What should I put it on? Thinking of a wire rack now but I'm open to ideas.

>>9239637
A nice little table
Wire rack is fine desu but I dunno I hate how shit sits on those

>>9237757
>normies

>>9217371
Agreed, looking at these setups makes me regret decorating my house in a soulless way. It looked cool at the time to me but it's not comfy.

>>9237757
if it can be destroyed by the truth, destroy it


however hiding your powerlevel is recommended if u want the booba

>Mommmmm he said the word I don't like!!!!
>Tell him to just go away, sweetie!

>>9240347
its spelled KANO dumbass,
What I wanna know... if this Shang Tsung guy's so great, how come he's got such a crummy-looking boat? Ah, anyway, guy gives me the creeps.

>>9237932
Such edge.

>>9239852
Women can be swayed but I do wonder if they should be spared it.

>>9240415
he used to be right
the channels used to a conduit for free expression / ideas

now its an echo chamber via thumping bots and redditor hivemind types

>>9237932
>putting on a facade to avoid social ridicule
>you're a weak-willed faggot
oh the irony hurts

>>9234794
mondo based.
this is a really cool setup anon

Don't need a crt I have a retrotink 5x

would you walk up and tell every person exactly what you think of them? no, you wouldnt, because that would be retarded. that isn't a matter of weak will, it's about knowing how to camoflage yourself around NPCs so you can fool and manipulate them.

>>9241676
you are missing out
make sure you have a high refresh/pixel response time gaming monitor or your tink is useless

run 240p test suite and do the reflex test


>>9241705
>>9240905
its not irony
you cannot sperg in public
you have to let them know gradually
drip feed your power level after they like you

women especially base their actions on the thoughts/actions of their peers and how society percieves them.

women can be vicious - even moreso than men

>>9240349
>this forced keno/kano/kino meme again
REEEEEEEEEEeeeEEEEeeEee

>>9241705
would you walk up and spread the gospel to every stranger you ever met?
of course not - only freaks on the street corner do that


you win far more souls & change far more lives for the better by
being a good person, leading by example, being knowledgable/diligent

its a long song & dance
you dont win by bruteforce/moshing

>>9242107
Different anon, but I'm planning to get a Dell 2007fpb for that 4:3 display but it doesn't sound like it has a good response time.

>>9242109
yeah kino is for tv. Ludo is the correct term
