you can make an improvement to your power management. since you're probably only going to be able to play 1 system at a time. you can use a ps2 slim psu and get some splitters, center polarity reverse, and some guitar pedal barrel connector chains and just run the single barrel chains per each shelf and branch accordingly. i would put all your retro consoles with center neg polarity on a shelf (nes, snes, gen1, tg16, etc.) and center pos on another (ps1, ps2, gen2, gen3, etc.) split immediately from ps2 slim psu to a center pos line (no reverse polarity since ps2 slim psu is already center pos) and the other reverse to center neg. then you'll adapt accordingly from these primary branches to each console. typically need to skip plugs in order to provide enough spacing between consoles. inspiration comes from guitar pedal powering, daisy chains my friend.
oh man, i used to have a similar setup. I highly recommend getting a Mister FPGA to remove every console up to N64 and PS1. Plays just like the real consoles and removes a ton of cables. Great setup!
A route that I went instead of CRT is a led projector. I have that screen mounted on the ceiling and I pull it down in front of my TV. I find that the projector feels like a middle ground between modern flat screens and old CRT's. One thing to watch out for though is that some cause a lot of input lag. The nexigo pj20 I bought has low lag and I've been happy with it.
All that equipment, just to end up on a TV like that, yikes. Just get a CRT, and put an HD TV like that above it. The image quality looks awful stretched for older consoles.
I don't play any games stretched. The ones you are seeing stretched is a background youtube video. Second, you've clearly never seen a proper setup with a RetroTINK 4K on an OLED. CRT's are great but these days with the right setup you can make it look and feel exactly the same.
i have a question for you that i think you might havea good answer for. do you leave all youre consoles plugged in to the wall or do you unplug them? I always unplug them becuase ive heard its bad for youre consoles overtime, but its a hassle everytime. How do you do this?
It is generally good to not have them plugged in. I feel it is best to have them all on a large surge protector and have the surge on a nice battery backup UPS. Then you can just flip the surge protectors off. However I kinda keep everything on most of the time unless I go away on vacation or something. I like everything to be one button automated. I've also soldered new capacitors into every system for this reason so they don't really take damage and I'll recap them again every 12-15 years or so.
@@salmakesthings exactly i think ill buy one of those surge protectors with a switch. and about soldering all new capacitors, im a guy who likes to keep all of his consoles all original and dont like opening them. but thanks for the advice!
Yeah. I like to play on original hardware whenever possible. Plus not everything is 100% compatible. Games, peripherals and general feel isn't the same.
@@salmakesthings your dedication to project is just mesmerizing how you were able to pull this off. Wii U has HDMI out and automatically take an edge over regular Wii not needing modify and to deal with peaky dongles and separate sound wires + 1 gaming gen more in same closure.
would you stop white knighting about not "pirating" decade old games by greedy as corporations that want to keep re selling a small select amount of games while the whole back catalogue is inaccessible due to licensing or dated copyrights or the game cart is over 200 dollars on ebay.
I believe everyone wants to know the answer to this question... How much do you have invested in this setup? And expanding to another question, total cost for your entire retro collection?
Amazing game room and setup thank you for sharing. I enjoy seeing the unique collections and setups of other gamers I find it interesting and fun. The jab to the PS5 will always be a thing and I am convinced this will go down as one of the classic jabs in gaming like how people jab at the Nintendo Wii U name the Sony PlayStation 5 will get jabs due to It's design. I love the Sony PlayStation 5 and the memes / jabs that gamers have come up with. thanks for sharing. Cool video. ^_^
I don't play games in the wrong aspect ratio. I had a youtube video playing in the background for ambiance and that was in widescreen. Also I don't have any LED lighting. You seem like a typical snob douchebag who needs to constantly tell other people how they should be enjoying their hobby. You do your setup in whatever way makes you happy.
It's a nice clean setup but it's missing a couple of primo CRTs. I know they're chunky and take up extra space but most of your systems were optimally designed to be played on them. Thanks for sharing.
It’s cool how you modded all your systems. Personally I like to play all my console through their best native outputs on a Sony trinitron crt. I’m fortunate I have the space for one.
