Whats you're current PC engine Set-up?

[Lord Thag]

I'm pretty happy with my setup. I've got a TG-16 w/ multitap sitting next to my Duo-R sporting an awesome (rare) joystick (I forget the name, the one with all the buttons and doohickies and built in multitap). It's all hooked up to a big standard TV and a nice, kickin' game sound system with a respectable bass thump.

The fact that I have this, along with an Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, Intellivision, Colecovision, Saturn, Atari XEGS, Odyssey 2, Arcadia 2001, Astrocade, Channel F, NES, SMS, Genesis, RCA Studio 2, Vextrex, and three Arcade games (along with a PC, a Laptop, and assorted routers) without causing a brownout is one of the Great Unsolved Mysteries of Northern California 

Let's just say I keep Home Depot ordering power strips on a regular basis...

My setup these days is just working properly on my 40 inch Sony LCD TV right now!!

I've got a region modded Core II hooked up to a Super CD Rom2. There's a good luck at my setup on my Youtube channel

This is my setup as well. I will, however, probably switch this up when I finally get my brother's flatscreen CRT from him.

I have a 52" Samsung Touch of Color LCD sitting inside a massive entertainment system! I have PS3, 360, Gamecube, PCE TurboDuo w/ regionswith, supernintendo, and the occassional laptop hooked up to it for emulators!

The games done look to bad on the screen though! I dont have to "stretch" them or resize them to make em fit either!

And once again it says that the uploader is full!!!! Go here to see my pics!

.....but they are stretched to fit.

Yeah, you're stretching out poor ol' Bomberman.

How do you figure they are stretched to fit? If thats the case then displaying on a CRT or any tv or diplay would be considered stretching the image.

Neways what I was refering to is that I dont have to physically do into my options and change it to stretch it to fullscreen. It automatically fills the screen at 16:9!

Ah, so your TV automatically stretches the image. If you want to play the game in its original resolution you should change the settings to 4:3 aspect ratio, so you'll have the two black bars on the sides of the screen.

I meant 'stretched to fit the incorrect aspect ratio'.  The games were intended to be shown on a 4:3 screen, so forcing 'em to fill a 16:9 screen will distort the hell out of everything.  Haven't you noticed that everything looks kinda fat and that circles are now ovals?  If that doesn't bother you, then game on; it's not my TV.

[termis]

Yeah, you'll find that most of us old-schoolers will hate seeing 4:3 image stretched out to 16:9.  It just looks... wrong...

But like necro says, it's your deal.

No it really doesn't bother me that bad....Since this is the only TV I have and the only room for a TV I have then this is what Im stuck with. To be honest with you I dont remember what the system looked like on a nice size CRT. The last time I played a Turbo Duo, up until this year, was when I was about 12 -13. I had my TG-CD sitting in storage for a long time. When I pulled it out the CD portion didnt work. I got it all fixed up and added a region mod and sold it on here.   

To me things look alright and I can play then on the bigscreen but you also have to figure that the big screen is what I have been used to now for over a year.

As ceti noted, you don't have to play in 16:9 and can set it to 4:3 instead.  In fact, your Sammy should be able to set each input independently; meaning just the Turbo's input would be at 4:3 and all other video sources would remain at 16:9, so you won't have to change modes manually each time you switch inputs.

Exactly. All my inputs are 16:9 except for my Duo input, which is 4:3. Though I think my emulators on the Xbox go directly to 4:3 as well.

True True! Yes I know of my TV's capabilities...hell the damn thing can even connect to the internet via CAT line.

Although this is the case I honestly dont like the way my TV displays 4:3 in the older games. I think Im just gonna stick to 16:9.

One day after I move and I have the space I plan on setting up a game room! Then maybe Ill get the arcade I want and have a nice size CRT to play my older games on....Projector screen is another thing I might get!
