I had a real love-hate relationship with this thread over on ERA, but very curious to see what it turns into on here!

Nice collection @sagadego20; all those Wii games look great on display.

please post a real one not this shitty old meme -_-;

 

[Elven_Star]

My gaming setup (no meme, real picture as OP requested)

 

[Subnats]

Ngl having such a normal setup as an op makes this thread feel so much more approachable than the old ones. Here's my gaming/college setup, little cramped due to needing to make it a bedroom setup but I love it all the same. Sorry about the low quality pics, don't really have great lighting in my room but it looks far better in person.

Yep my main display is actually a CRT, the LCD to side is literally just for making multitasking easier.

All my ready to use consoles. Got a PS3, Wii U, Xbox 360 and my Switch hooked up in addition to my PC (i3 8100, GTX 1050, 8GB Ram) on top of the desk. Also got a Steam Link and PSTV hidden behing the Pro Controller and Split Pad Pro but they're disconnected and don't really get used at all.

All the Physical Playstation and PC games I've still got boxes for plus some lesser used controllers and consoles (PS2, Gamecube, 2 Wiis and an AtGames Megadrive modded with a Raspberry Pi 0).

Physical Nintendo and Xbox stuff I've still got boxes for plus some Manga and a Japanese copy of Sonic 1

More controllers, my PSVR, and my handhelds (2DS, PSP 1000, 2000 & Go, PS Vita, an Android phone setup for emulators, 2 "new" 3DS XLs, a "new" 2DS XL, 2 Macro Modded DS Lites and a DSi).

Kinda self explanatory but I've also got a boxed Dreamcast controller and Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition behind the Marxism.

Also got a few spare CRTs and a PS4 setup next to my bed (doesn't work with the CRT anymore) but I'm too lazy to take new pics so here's some old ones.

very nice and cozy you should look into a sound bar 5.1 system fun fact lots of games support prologic II hidden including xenoblade wii and snes games support dolby surround hidden including donkey country 1-3

 

[Shadow14]

Op, good idea on creating this thread here .
Here's mine, it's a bedroom setup because i'm still living with my parents (the housing market in Portugal it's crazy expansive right now but, if everything goes well, in a few months i'll be buying a house with my girlfriend) but i think it's cozy:

• Samsung LED 32'' from 2014 or whatever;
• Nintendo Switch (this pic is a few months old, at the moment i've got a Oled with red Joy-cons);
• Playstation 4 Pro (also know as the netflix box since last year);

The sofa isn't always there, i just put in there whenever i want to use the Tv. As for the games, they are all digital since it's more convenient and saves me a lot of space.

And this is next to the "gaming setup":

• Asus gaming laptop with i7 and 1050ti, rarely used for gaming lol;
• Ipad mini 5th generation;
• LEGO Ideas - Ship in a bottle (my favourite LEGO set and the only one i have in display);

As for the chair, it is a nice and comfy chair that i bought from Staples 6 years ago; unfortunately the "leather" in it is peeling, so i had to put a blanket in it. I'm not planning on having a dedicated office space in the living room next year, so i can't justify buying a new chair for just a couple more months.

Finally, this is how i do most of my gaming:

• Switch Oled with red Joy-con;
• Sennheiser HD 560S (they're wired, i just took the cable for the photo);

I'm loving the new oled display, everything looks so much better on it! The bigger size also helps with the immersion, even more when using headphones.
The headphones are a bit overkill for the Switch, but they're really good; i also use then with my ipad and pc.

 

[Deleted member 1250]

neat i use Koss 350i headphones

 

[Subnats]

Got family who work from home so playing without headphones isn't really an option for me most of the time sadly. Not sure I've got room for a soundbar anywhere either unless I mount it on the wall. I'm pretty happy using my headset though, I use a Razer Kraken X.

(Teacup holders make surprisingly good headset stands)

 

[Twinsen]

Had this picture already from my PC.

My gaming setup in the living room has a WII U and PS3 but I am moving soon so I dont sit there often

 

[A. G. Cook]

It's been a while since I've posted any sort of set up pics anywhere, since I wasn't active on the other place for over a year and a half. Set up changed and got a new desk. This space is my gaming area but also my work from home area. lol

 

[TaySan]

Sorry, it's a bit messy, but here's my setup.

@A.G. Cook I really like the board with the pins/curios! Those are the sort of little touches I love to see.

Thank you! I’ve been looking to get more pins lately… they can be expensive!

I don't have any super recent pics, mostly because its a mess right now between needing to put some stuff away, and having a 15 month old. Plus we set up some gate and like mesh stuff in the living room so he can roam around but not get into things so its not really in a photogenic place right now. These pics all come from just a bit before he was born. Only differences though as far as what I've got going is I've added an Xbox One X, and I modded my Atari 2600 to have RGB out. Which basically right now lives on my Colecovision, and just move them around as is needed. I switched out the 8 port HDMI switch on the side with a 16 port one and I moved the Sega CD to be connected to my model 2 Genesis, instead of the Mega SG, since I ended up getting a Mega Everdrive Pro.

This is an old pic of the center part of the set up (where the HDDVD Player and UHD Player are is where the Xbox One X has gone on top of them.

This is to the side where I have the majority of the consoles.

Just another picture of the main section to see where the TV is.

Which is wall mounted with a rotatable mount for vertical shoot em ups. This is a way way older picture but shows off how it looks rotated.

This is my chart for how everything is connected up and what feeds into what.

I also have a PC off to the side connected to the TV, that has my capture card in it, and also is connected to a monitor that lives on the side of the couch. The PC is also where I have a whole bunch of modern 2.4ghz wireless controllers for various vintage systems. I got magnetic cables for them so I can just grab them, and don't have to put wear and tear on their ports by plugging and unplugging them to charge. I picked up some simple USB charging hubs that they all plug into and they just sit on the top of the PC for now. I don't have a pic of that though. Where planning to move to some place bigger in the next year or two and at that point I'm going to try to have the space to get the other 4 consoles I have that aren't currently hooked up, worked back into the set up. (The Wii, Sega Master System, my Atari 7800 and my 5200).

Bought it at Best Buy at the end of 2017. Doesn't look like they sell it anymore, Abt has a similar stand but it's not quite the same.

Comfy couch, LG CX 65” OLED, PS5 + Switch, and one good boy.

Retro consoles in the spare room.

I love these threads. Hopefully more pics come.

 

[Mitch]

I live in a pretty tiny studio, but I make my setup work.

55" Sony Bravia 4K. PS5, Series X, Valve Index and the SWOLED on the right.

The two art pieces propped up need frames, but I'm being cheap at the moment.

I just noticed the Ultra 64 cart in your Nintendo 64. What is that exactly? It's quite neat.

It's an Everdrive 64 V3, the label is just one StoneAgeGamer had been offering for it. I don't think they offer that label any more though.

 

[Apopheniac]

Have a couch coming in tomorrow. Hopefully I can upgrade the TV and the TV stand at some point this month.

Old setup from my previous place:

I decided to break out the desk separately from the TV, since I have more space in the new place. The desk is now for work stuff.

[CyberWolfBia]

Nothing fancy here, just was proud of my little corner and the DIY shelves I made for the consoles ^^'

Half of my retro systems are in storage now sadly, but the other side of the bedroom ended looking much cleaner now; I just need to reorganize the games

 

[Deleted member 1250]

new setup pic

 

[EggmaniMN]

There's a 55" TCL R615 TV above all of that. The Saturn, Wii and PS2 get hooked up to the Retrotink 5x that's behind the GBA Consolizer, everything else is HDMI modded and all that. I have a big door hanging pocket organizer thing hanging to the left that has all of the cables and stuff for the consoles that aren't currently hooked up. I just hook up the XSX and PS5 to their own HDMI slots and then the Switch+5 others are on the HDMI switch.

Not in the picture but I also own a DS4 controller and a Switch pro-controller

Not in the photo but I also own Rise of the Tomb Raider for PS4. I lent the game to a friend recently.

 

[Subnats]

Woke up to my CRT refusing to show an image so I sadly have to get rid of it. Swapped in my living room monitor and scrapped the bedside setup so here's how everything looks now.

Having a much bigger display is nice as is being able to integrate my PS4 into the setup (on the bottom shelf, just offscreen) but I'm really gonna miss that CRT. On the upside, I guess I actually have room for that soundbar now.

 

[Apopheniac]

Got this in today from Bassett's outlet store. Couch was only $400, although there's a stain being covered up by the blanket. Ottomans were $150 apiece. The TV is a bit small since it's on the other end of the room, so I'll have to start looking into buying a new TV and stand.

 

[Seik]

Here's my dream basement, still a work in progress. There's one room next to this one with a CRT setup that I'm preparing, but that room is still full of boxes because I'm waiting for IKEA to get another shelf like the one in this room for all my portable consoles games collection. we've moved in this house two months ago but so far it's shaping up nicely. I really gotta do something with all the wiring behind the TV though, I'll buy something to clean that up soon. Some LED strip lights wouldn't hurt either for the darker ambiance.

I absolutely am in love with your shelves. I have tall wooden shelves in my setup that are just all sorts of wrong for my collection and I despise them!

This is an awful and slightly older picture, but my Switch shelves are the only ones I like. They look similar to this currently, too, but it's still a work in progress.

Are these Billy bookcases? I've been doing some research and your shelves don't seem as deep, but it may just be the camera angle. I'm eyeing something similar to this when I move to my new place.

The name of these shelves is BESTA. I could basically put 2 rows of PS2-sized games on each shelves if I wanted to.

Thanks for this. Your shelves look great, will definitely consider this option.

 

[Donnie]

Love seeing everyone's set ups! Nothing overly fancy here, all my games stuff is in the front room with other family things so I keep it modest but it makes me happy! So I have my TV unit with a Samsung QLED and following consoles :

And to the left a bookcase with the switch on top and that that houses most of the rest of my Nintendo-y things, which I'll share a few of:

I have way more amiibos on these shelves and elsewhere in the house but I think that'll do

 

[Apopheniac]

Got my TV stand in last week, though it's taken a while to set up (and I had to clear some more personal effects to take this pic to show).

Cost me $350 from Bassett's outlet store. Used to be a floor model, and it's missing one of the sliding doors, but aside from some cosmetic imperfections it's a great piece.

 

[Tailzo]

Hi everyone,
recently I've had more time to play, and I have also reorganized my games. It made me quite happy. I've been so happy about it, I could feel it bubbling up inside. In the living room we have most Nintendo Switch games, and the xbox series x, as I have bought more local multiplayer games for those consoles. So what you see here, is my work from home office, training room, drawing room and videogame room into one tiny space I can call my own. I've been able to fit and lcd screen as a second screen monitor for my laptop when working, but also a LG C1 for my PS5, where I try to buy most single player games if I can.

Gaming setup (use a photo if you can, if not a simple description is good enough)

Some of the changes I've made recently is to display some of my favourite games. Can you see them in the photo?

The best gaming sessions for me
Orange or apple juice, nuts that I can eat with a spoon, night time when my daughters are sleeping, and a meaty single player game, most of all an rpg. The best days are when I know I will not have to go to work the day after, and when my wife is happy seeing a movie by herself. Recently I've also begun to enjoy playing games with my daughters, as they've become very skilled playing Rayman and Minecraft. But that feels like a very different kind of good gaming session.

 

[julian]

My gaming setup is absolutely terrible and I’m ashamed to share it. I have all the equipment to make a nice setup, but with kids it’s tough to keep certain things out and we don’t have the right space for my 5.1 setup.

Oh I know your feeling, I didn't share a photo of my living room setup. I alwasy have to find xbox controllers under the table, in the sofa, on the floor and so on. And don't get me started on my 3 year old thinking that playing with my super monkey Ball Deluxe Blu Ray for xbox series X is fun So I have to keep it mostly digital. She also used to chew on my controllers, so I had to buy new joycons, haha

My one year old sometimes gets a Dreamcast controller to play with while I play with my 7 year old daughter, but that Dreamcast controller can never be used again on real hardware

But seeing your avatr makes me think I should've included Shining Force 3 in my photo. Oh well, I guess you did spot some other Saturn stuff?

 

[GamerJM]

My room setup with HD platforms:

My living room setup with non-HD platforms (Wii, Gamecube, PS2, SNES)

My ideal setup would be to have everything in one very large room with multiple PVMs for retro consoles. I'd also like to have an in-home arcade with an In the Groove 2 dedicab, a dedicated setup for Clone Hero/Rock Band 2 Deluxe/Rock Band 3 Deluxe, a Third Strike cab, Tetris the Grand Master 3, and a dedicated Melee setup. Hopefully some day I will have this. Maybe.

 

[goldenpp72]

At some point I intend to retake pictures since it's gone through a lot of changes but I am still waiting on a guy to finish some custom work before I really call it finished, but until then here is some stuff. This is about 13 years worth of effort with a lot of hidden stuff going on in the background of it all, but it's actually all functional and done so in a high fidelity, somewhat user friendly fashion to the best I could figure. It has always been a bit messy or out of sorts as I've moved to trying to finalize how I want it setup so you'll see evidence of disarray at times, but it's mostly clean and all functional these days.

Everything is ran through a Retrotink 5x (unless it's newer) so that's a pretty awesome little device I waited my whole hobby for, but all the displays and such can be disabled and enabled with a few button presses as well. I am about 250 titles shy of completing the retro aspect of my intended collection but a lot of them are on the pricey and/or rare side so it'll be awhile especially given the current market conditions. I am currently awaiting a F4F Mega Man figure which will go into the final display I plan to erect in this space, so I'm about all out of room and ideas

I've gathered and learned a ton about the hobby over this period and try to help other people figure stuff out, though I can't solve the issue of cost, one example is using the blue LED strips resulting in the washing out of wires making the entire setup look a bit cleaner than it would without any light or with a white light, lots of little stuff adds up though.
