@ Tron .. Yes it can if you buy a Ps adapter to Snes or Genesis .. I know there are other ways to do it besides that approach .. But I'm old school so I mod all my joysticks with Ps ports, because you can pretty much get those Ps adapters for any retro console .. It's much easier going about it that way in my opinion ...
Finally playing these games I couldn't get my hands on back in 91' !!! Nec fan always !!!

I recently did a little re-organizing to my "Old School" setup so thought I post a few pics.  As you can see, I prefer to sort my Turbo-collection by color.  :)

Figured I would get around to posting on this. My classic 2D gaming area contains the following:

1. Apex 24 inch CRT monitor with composite and S-video in and also composite out for recording on exterior devices
2. AMD Socket A Sempron 2400+ based computer strictly for Nebula and Mame, using a BFG Geforce FX 5900 XT via S-video out, and a Soundblaster Audegy
3. region modded Sega Genesis with S-video out
4. region modded Duo-R with S-video out
5. TurboDuo with S-video out
6. Altec Lansing stereo speaker and subwoofer set from 2002 (floor firing sub and main speakers have floor firing speakers with front tweeters)
7. Digital picture frame that auto slide shows different NEC related game screen shots and cover art, and auto plays MP3 music tracks from Lords of Thunder and Gradius II when it is turned on





28 loose hucards stored in there in sports card sleeves. Other container holds loose Genesis and Mega Drive carts and other small things I may need.

That frame is a thing of beauty! Every game room should have something like that! :D
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Totally agree! I've actually got one of those digital frames (received it as a present) and have never used it, but I think I've just found a use for it after all. :)

Professor, why did you pull out the 3DO before taking the pictures? I see empty space that clearly was home to FZ-1 and Star Control 2 and several other sweet titles...

Have not had a 3DO in years. Sold my M2 stuff late last year and early this year also.

That was the last M2 I had.

Yes, with that picture frame I too can be a curator for a museum of video game quality history.

Nice setup. Is that area an alcove to a main room?  Seems like a perfect spot for a gaming area.

This is probably the single best gameroom innovation I've seen AND the best use for a digital picture frame.

+1. Perfect niche to get your dork on without turning the living room into a museum.

The two upstairs bedrooms in the house I live in are basically loft like in design, with said alcoves, one per room located at the front bedroom window. Basically makes a nice little gaming area. My son uses the spot in his room for his gaming pc. For me its a nice little spot where I can go and focus on the classic stuff without any distractions.

Pretty nice rooms guys.

Prof that picture frame is an absolutely brilliant idea, I may have to bite that some day if I ever get a nice area to set up.
Gypsies did it.
