Console setup.

[Stokers]

Inspired by @FrancoB's post, I did some tidying / upgrades to my retro gaming setup recently

- Purchased and new amp and speakers for a nice 2.0 setup (with shielded speakers, although the PVM shielding means they aren't really affected)
- Wired all my consoles up through a gscart with plans to run the Dreamcast into my DT-V monitor for 480p
- Tried to do a nice cabling job

Very smart
I wish my games room was anywhere near as tidy

Very classy I hope when I get stuff sorted i can have a setup like that

Looks great. Is it a free standing unit/shelving or attached to the wall? Thanks

Thanks! It's fitted to the wall there is a platform bed above it

Nice, looks great, I bet it sounds great too. I'm quite partial to a tidy wiring job

I found this picture of my cat deciding which CPS2 game is his fav, whilst looking for the ones of my tidy console cabinet

He’s chosen the right one, Super Turbo!

Great pic, I can tell that your cat is thinking very hard about what CPS2 game is his fav

 

[FrancoB]

Alien Vs Predator seems fitting for a cat. He looks a bit annoyed though, maybe he would prefer a came of Puss Loop 2, Battle Circat, or maybe Mighty Mouse! Pang 😬

A had some friends over to play games over Christmas - to my surprise nobody was into Alien vs Predator... not even the cat.

Bloody Philistines!

You can't save them all unfortunately

I know. I almost kicked them out of the house!!

Super Turbo was the most popular game, but we did play quite a bit of D&D

Ah, a fellow 'The Midnight' fan I see

I think I've got pretty much everything of theirs digitally. I've bought quite a few of their vinyls too. I've got no way to play them but I like the artwork and I'm going to make some nice frames/mounts for them. Looks like you might have seen them live?

I stumbled across [Prizm - Midnight FM] the other day, can't believe I'd not heard it before.

Sorry for the OT, if you're not a fan then I apologise even more 😄

Haha no worries, i'm just posting random pictures in this thread so no problem with the OT.

Yeah we are huge fans of the Midnight, we've seen them in LA, Atlanta, London, Glasgow and Bristol My wife is a developer and during lockdown made the 'Monsters' website for them, so she is actually pretty chummy with the lead singer. I agree though as much as I like the music, the album art and posters all have a nice 80s vibe to them.

Woah! This thread hits a lot of buttons!!!!
We've got a wonderful cool looking games room. ✅
We've got a cool games cat. ✅
We've got a nice looking (vintage) turntable. ✅
We've not only got a Midnight fan (✅) but also a proper link to the band themselves! ✅
Fabulous stuff. I love their earlier stuff - Endless Summer is an amazing album, but I felt they moved away from that sound with the recent stuff.

A slight redemption arc for them with D&D I like it

Your house is far too tidy. I'm suspicious.

I think there are hidden guilty pleasures. I want pics 😆

Thanks man

He’s certainly a cool games cat, his name is Shinobi 🥷

Here he is inside the coin door of my cab 😡


I love the turntable/ tape deck? You have. Is that a modern one? Looks like it has an lcd display. Love the silver and wood look 👌
