Showing off my setup

Cory@lemmy.world to RetroGaming@lemmy.world – 60 points –

Here is where I am at. Live in an apartment so space is tight and needed everything to be able to move into the closet. I’ve got SNES, N64, Wii mini, Sega Genesis, PS2, a vcr, receiver and stereo speakers, Extron switcher, and playing them all on a Sony PVM14L5. The rack is from Amazon and most are hooked up via RGB.

This setup is nice. It's also interesting that I've never heard of Wii mini but I was a PlayStation kid :)

Getting real "wheeling in the cart for movie day in school" memories, except those were a lot less cool than this is.

If the cart doesn't have a name already, go with Mario or Crash Team. Nice setup.

Nice! It reminds me of teachers bringing in the TV for a class and having the usual fight with channels and inputs for the next 3-5 minutes.

Do you wheel it back to its parking spot when unused?

That is so dang cool, how do you get games if you're looking for a specific one?

nice, i have one of those carts too and put some hanging canvas organizers on the back to put controllers and stuff in. however, i wouldn't be able to see a thing happening on that monitor without being a couple feet away (like at a desk)- how close do you sit to it??

Also here is the back side. Still a mess but better than it was in the beginning ha.

I wonder how much time you invested to build this setup

Not as bad as you would think actually. I collected all the gaming hardware over time. Cables and tv and such. Last piece was the shelving. Took about a day to get everything set up and another day of tweaking and cable management.

Interesting. Just by looking at the picture I thought it was much more than just two days. Thanks for sharing!

It looks like a setup that you wave your hands like you’re casting a spell a lot before making a decision

It can be really tough to decide not gonna lie. Just depends on my mood and feeling of time I want to play in

Emergency crash-cart for retro gaming. You are my kind of person!
