Neo Geo on 1.8m wide (6ft) screen! (projector)

fitzsteve · 25 May 2013, 02:27

I been messing around recently with an NEC LCD Projector I got for free, damn it's awesome, I've set it up on a shelf on the opposite side of the room projecting onto a white wall in our back room.

OMG, Metal Slug on a 6ft display, it's unreal!

Yes, they're my PC screens (bottom left), 21in and 24in LCD!

It can go even bigger, this is the smallest setting! I could have an 8ft screen if I moved some stuff!

Gaming has never been so much fun!

Cool what neo-geo do you have?

Neo Geo CD, I'd love an AES but the Games are just too expensive and of course I can burn up my own CD's

Retro1234 · 25 May 2013, 02:38

Yes imagine having a AES with a shelf full of games one can dream

Hey, Steve. Your old back room just became your "Cinematic Gaming Room"!

seuden · 25 May 2013, 08:44

What model projector is it Steve? :-D

DonAmiga · 25 May 2013, 09:00

Looks good, how's the details at your end? Think we need a super high res pic

lesta_smsc · 25 May 2013, 12:21

Precisely the reason why I have just purchased a projector (or a series of cheap projectors) lol ... the lamps are the main cost, but I'm looking to doing some 'mods' to overcome this!

It's crystal clear. I'm really impressed with the image quality

fitzsteve · 25 May 2013, 17:24

I found my PS1 stash of Games in the loft and lived the dream this afternoon, Ridge Racer on the big screen!

As I was playing via my PS2 it would have been rude not to have a blast on GT4

That looks good, think I'll need to add a projector to the wanted list

Baboon · 26 May 2013, 10:20

Unless he decides to do a lamp mod. But it's about £100 for a lamp that would last you 3 or moee years depending on usage.

fitzsteve · 26 May 2013, 11:12

Thanks guys! It's definitely a lot of fun!

Lucky the bulb has had only little use, about 3% when I last checked!

seuden · 26 May 2013, 12:19

Awesome stuff Steve, I'm sure you'll get plenty of use out of it.

NovaCoder · 26 May 2013, 14:23

Yep I'm thinking a projector is the way to go for retro games, I'll have to start planning for a projector room now

psygnosis · 26 May 2013, 14:24

nice that steve

fitzsteve · 26 May 2013, 14:25

I bought Doom (PS1) today at a Car Boot Sale. Going to hook up my Surround Sound System and play with the lights out tonight! Wish me luck

Coagulus · 26 May 2013, 14:40

I use an Epson 3LCD projector, not as good a screen update as my old Sony RGB CRT one but a lot smaller! Play Dreamcast, Raspberry Pi and PS2 on it although all of those have emulators too.

I was expecting it to look very blocky, but that looks fantastic. Very nice picture.
