Are any of those connected to the tv for glorious 20fps goodness?
I will say though that for maximum retro goodness I would use a CRT. :P

Hey, you're all doing better than me, my collection is still in boxes.
My roommate asked me the other day why I have 3 Super Nintendos... :|
Well, you gotta have an original SNES, a Japanese SNES, and the restyled SNES. That's 3. :)
I have those, plus one extra original version.

That's the best handheld system ever! GBA had so many amazing titles. So many regrets leaving it at a friends house all those years ago :(
Lost a lot of now valuable titles too.

How long ago? You might have been the guy that sniped me on that :))
Also, YOU OPENED IT?? You could have sold it and bought a bunch more games. Opening something like that is like killing a unicorn. :(

I found it in a store in Nyc. And why would I do that? I bought it to play it.
I had a NGPC back in the day but ended up selling it because the lack of back/front lighting bothered me too much.
Did anyone ever come out with a kit for that?
Why not DIY dante? Look up supremejudge's ngpc front light mod.
Link me to homebrews for the NGPC dante?
I'd love a homebrew schump on the NGPC besides metal slug.

Having just gone through a ridiculous move, I don't envy any of you owning all of what you do.
Having just gone through a ridiculous move, I don't envy any of you owning all of what you do.
When I was in school I was doing 4 moves a year sometimes. I've had most of my collection since high school, so I've always had a lot of stuff to move. I eventually gave up and just kept all my video games at my parents' house until I finished college. :'( Was not fun. And now I'm basically just dreading whenever the next time is I'll have to move.
One of the rarest game consoles ever made is on Ebay right now. Take out a lean of your house and sell your car!

That looks pretty terrible. Why don't you ship that my way so I can properly dispose of it for you ;).
It's not mine, but I do have a broken Super Grafx I keep meaning to get repaired. That's just an end-game console for me. I hear it has the best version of Ghouls 'n Ghosts you can get for a home system.

Can anyone answer? ;D
Never was a big NES guy but the Mega Man series is my favorite series of all time and 3 is my personal favorite non-X game. I don't collect for the NES, but I'd be happy to take a Cheetahmen II off anyone's hands.
For SNES (greatest console ever made. EVER!) it's Yoshi's Island. ****, Yoshi's Island is in my top 5 of all time. Everything about that game is absolutely perfect... except the Poochy bonus stage, that **** can rot in hell. Right now Hagane: The Final Conflict is my #1 most sought after game for any system.
Although I had a 64 growing up I never liked it much because I always managed to buy the ****tiest games for it thinking they would be cool, but I do have very fond memories of 4-player Goldeneye and Majora's Mask. I am still on the lookout for another copy of Bangai-O that was stolen, and am dying to play Conker's Bad Fur Day, Paper Mario, and Banjo Tooi.

So since you guys either have RGB setups or are interested in them I figured I'd ask about SCART switches.
Is there an affordable high-quality product available? The only thing I've seen is the $15 3 port one I found on eBay which looks like a Hama and the DIY one from the Shmup/ Assembler forums (I'm on a list to be on a list :\ ). Any better options out there?
AFA cables go everything I've seen looks like handmade stuff based on monoprice BNC cables available on eBay for a slight (affordable) premium.
From what I've read Console RGB to SCART -> SCART Switch -> SCART to BNC -> CRT is the way to go. I've just ordered a ton of various connectors to try and get this figured out. Loads of research still to do though.

I honestly don't know that much because it's so confusing. I attempted to read through Fudoh's stuff on his website (http://retrogaming.hazard-city.de/). But I didn't get it. When I went to the Louisville Arcade Expo I saw a BVM/PVM connected to like a red white yellow cable. That's it. So I just wanted a BVM/PVM and do a simple connection and be done with it.I've been playing Final Fantasy 7 on my 14" S-video PVM over the last few days after work. It's much better than composite (yellow) but not quite as nice as RGB. The monitor itself was only $20 so I think it was totally worth it (out of the three I have it's the only one without RGB). You wouldn't really be doing yourself any favors by using composite (yellow RCA cable) video on nice monitor, it kind of defeats the purpose. The red and white cables are audio left and right which you shouldn't use with these monitors since they are mostly mono, I recommend a nice pair of studio monitors instead. (I'm using my cheap m-audios, thanks tj!)
Agreed I'd love some info on all of it. It's so overwhelming that I just am hunting for a smaller Sony Trinitron to play on.

Any mid-90s Trinitron. I figured start with that before a BVM/PVM.
I've seen some good ones for free, but every time I confirm my pick-up they'd say it was picked up for charity or they'd never respond.

What CRT are you looking for? I still need to get a good one, I'm just rocking what my family had when I was younger.
Any mid-90s Trinitron. I figured start with that before a BVM/PVM.
I've seen some good ones for free, but every time I confirm my pick-up they'd say it was picked up for charity or they'd never respond.
The JVC we had as a kid had a magnet put on the screen and was recently tossed.
Ahh yeah, Trinitron is obviously good. I got ripped off on a BVM last year (seller "didn't have anything to test the connection with", it was only $50 so I took it, turns out it's missing the RGB control board :mad: ), and haven't searched around for a replacement yet. :-/
You're not interested in getting it set up and dropping in a CRT after the fact? Or getting a dumpy screen for now and upgrading later?
What, no SNES, Hoff? Nice Nintendo setup. :thumb:
Nice setup! Drink some beer, play some games, relax ^-^
I would say it's probably still worth $50, was it a 20"?
Speaking of retro gaming setups I still haven't found a good SCART switch for sale.
If I can get a BVM/PVM off Craigslist then I'd go for it! I figured a good CRT would be easier to get and would at least get me S-video. Once I mod my consoles and/or get the right cables, I'll get a better monitor for those with RGB.

Oh, yeah; I remember hearing about that one.
Also, almost didn't realize who responded because of the missing avatar.

Yeah, those other pesky abusive mods changed my avatar but I don't have the original image to revert it back. :(
Also, this game is awesome so far. :D
hoff do you like the repro cart life? Cause emulators given me a hard time. T_T need to get the 'legit' stuff ;w;

this thing doesn't get much use...
When my brother moved to California I let him take our N64, NES, SNES, and Dreamcast... I regret that decision.
Currently only have an XBONE set up. Own a 360 but that's in storage.

Doesn't that window annoy you when light is really bright and still coming through? I have curtains and a window from behind, but it's not strong enough to keep the sun out.

Did you buy them from someone or at a shop? Lots of good Japanese titles there...and Psychonauts!

There are a few in here that don't really show much, but help illustrate how the room is set up, so bear with it.

A slightly overpriced FPGA console.
But a great (best?) way to play 8-bit games on both modern and old setups.

Falling down the road of NES collecting. This is my temporary setup. I'll be modding the top loader soon with the Hi-Def NES mod and swapping out the CRT for an HD monitor.

Looks like you're trying to improve your chances of finding a glitch controller for Super Smash Bros.
