Documentary: The Evolution of Your Gaming Setup (aka Happy Place)

[Desh]

Good god man! I'd forgotten that you were the one with the franken-nesicom. Impressive collection, and you've made Darwin proud with your documentation of its evolution.

question:
when are you going to get around to putting neon underlights and a big wing on that TGCD setup, and why hasn't it been painted or (better yet) chromed? And you've STILL not embedded a turbo tap into the chassis...

Make it happen!

It's funny you mention this.  I already have parts for a planned project and the last piece I need is a tap I'm just holding out for a cheap one.

Wait...the pc engine cd add on works on a us TG-16?  Or was it modded to work on it?

I'd like to know maybe I can get a working pc cd add on and sell off my non working us cd add on (but keep the cd base) to make up part of the difference

No mods are required.  As far as I know all standard stand alone PCE drives work with the U.S. dock.

P.S. I love broken stuff send me a PM if you ever want to get rid of that busted drive.

Null, I think that sounds like a deal.

You could also get a working PCE one and just swap the insides so your US one is "working" again.

Got a 2nd PCE Duo to replace my first while it's on the chopping block. A bit dusty, but I think this weekend I'll tidy up some.

Why has this thread died?  Here is a little update.  I have reorganized all of the game shelves since offloading half of my NES collection and adding more NEC and Sega stuff.

Moved stuff around, had to get that PVM on display.



I can wanted to get the games more exposure, since I rarely listen to my CD's, I swapped them. This also makes it easier to grab a game and play since there is no panel in front.

[Medic_wheat]

Anyone ever think Cd will have the kind of resurgence viynl has had?

[cjameslv]

Better?

Yep ty

Can we post the devolution of your gaming setup? (aka the Not so Happy Place anymore)

[Desh]

So the Queen of the kingdom I live in ordered me to a different claim.  The good news is I now have free reign.  Hopefully, continuing evolution will allow me to create a full on "man cave" 

The following is the new setup as of 9/15/15

That's looking pretty swanky, man!  Quite the collection ya got there, too. :3

I was in a similar predicament.  I had a separate room for my games & what-have-you, but the lady didn't have a space to do arts & crafts and such.  After an evening of heated discussion eventually culminating into a panic attack, I calmly pitched the idea of giving up my room to her & moving my things to the living room (a more logical place for the TV, anyway).  This ended up working out in my favor.  For my birthday, she helped her stepfather make some wall-mounting shelves, so I could get rid of many of the behemoths crowding the space.  The rest of the room's a mess, but here's what I've done with the shelves:









(The empty space on the middle shelf is for my Dreamcast, which I'm currently playing)

This is a WIP, and I've got more shelves coming with which to put up the rest of my games, and some more toys, so there'll be more pictures soon.  Yes, it may be odd to have all this set up in the living room...but we fly our freak flags high.
