Photo Thread: Show off your retro setup!

[Absolute_white]

So hard to get even a somewhat passable photo of a CRT lol.

Would you move anything around?

Lookin' mighty fine! No love for Sega, I see

On another note, how's that Logitech controller working out for you? I have the same model and I don't like the ergonomics of it so I don't use it often. The way my middle fingers naturally rest against the back of the pitifully small triggers makes my hands hurt after an hour or two of playing.

I do, I just have not found myself stumbling on a deal for a Gens, I want the 3 piece, the 32X and the CD. A saturn and dreamcast would be cool but are honestly low priority.

Honestly, I think its the second best controller ever made. Nothing beats the ps2 for me (I should get a ps2 - usb adapter.)

I have been using the same model of logitech controller since college in 2004. I have been through about 10 of them. if you drop them, the triggers bumpers are easy to break.


No disrespect, im a smaller human, I do not have bear mittens so it feels natural to me. The Duke controller was uncomfortable for me if I remember because it was too big.


There is no love for Xbox in this house and there never will be. <3

You have all the essentials for a great weekend, I have the same switcher box for my component cables, works great. Your setup would rock with a CRT, see if you can find one laying around.

What is your go-to?? What is your favorite?

is this your pc on the crt?

yes, the PC is running Batocera Linux. (long story short) I have it putting out an analog signal then converting it to S-video. This allows me to play most things in their native resolution for maximum retro vibing.

The Pc is quite powerful and can emulate up to Swatch or 360 with few issues. I use Steam on it but most of the time im messing around with random arcade games and SNK fighting games online with Retroarch Netplay.

I also use it to run higher end graphics games (shadow of war) and steamlink it to my desktop (laptop with a dock) PC so i have mouse and keys.

I love my total setup, teenage me would not have believed most of this was possible let alone i would have it. <3

I use a separate laptop for surfing the web while I'm drawing on my CRT monitor.
(excuse the mess, my room's a little dirty and I didn't have time to clean it!)

Thank you, I really love it simple. As for the games, I've been playing games that are from 8 bits up to 32 bits console on an emulator (since that's how far my laptop could handle)

Here ya go pal, This thing kinda melted and got sticky, poor quality plastic but it does the job nice.
