How does your 'game room' look like? - Page 3

Shatterhand · 02 November 2001, 03:07

I liked Retroman's room exactly because it's chaotic

Mine used to be chaotic too (of course, not as much as his), when I used the MSX, the Amiga and the Mega-Drive all as my main machines, I had lots of stuff thrown here

Nowadays I use nearly only the PC..

First, my bedroom (primary computer) -
Athlong 4 1.53Ghz/ 892MB RAM/ RAID / 21" monitor/ HP PSC 750/ DVD ROM / SCSI CDROM,CDR, & DAT tape drive/ boatloads of original games for PC & Playstation

Shadowfire · 03 November 2001, 01:51

Now, the living room. An all-Sony entertainment setup (with exception of the Dreamcast). I have boatload of other consoles too, but dont have them hooked up since the living room has to stay "neat".

Shadowfire · 03 November 2001, 01:52

Downstairs, at my electronics workstation. Internet access here, too. Two P3-1000 systems under the desk.

Shadowfire · 03 November 2001, 01:54

This is my Amiga 3000 in a tower case. A3000/25, 8mb Fast, 2mb Chip, 4GB Seacrate Barracuda, 2x/6x CD Recorder/reader, multisync monitor, blah blah blah, also more electronics stuff.

Shadowfire · 03 November 2001, 01:57

Finally, a dual-cabinet MAME rig. Dual 25" Capcom cabinets, (1 SF2 layound, 1 D&D Layout) powered by a P3-933 w/ 256MB RAM, AdvanceMAME & AdvanceMenu. I converted the bigger one from a 3-player Aliens vs. Predator to a Street Fighter layout. Great fun with friends, but no, I'll never ever put that much work in anything ever again...

All I can say is .....

BASTARD!!

Cool setup.

Twistin'Ghost · 03 November 2001, 09:28

Wow. That was very impressive!

RetroMan · 03 November 2001, 19:21

Today I got a new item in my "game room" ... a C128D with steel case and a Commodore 1701 Monitor

Since I never owned a C128D before, could someone please tell be how to switch to C64-mode and where to get a CP/M disk...... thx in advance

Edit : forget it, I just found out

Now I only have to find my X1541 cable

@Shadowfire

VERY impressive "game room"

Shadowfire · 03 November 2001, 20:59

Samurai: No, I use AdvanceMenu, an arcade-box frontend for MAME. You can choose what game to launch & launch it. Then I have it set to pull up an Exit menu from within AdvanceMame ... by pressing P1 Start & P2 Start at the same time, then choosing Exit, it goes back to the front end. No mousing about. The Joystick/buttons control the whole thing. When I want to update the emulator/ROMS, I just open the back door, yank out the hard drive (its in a removable swap tray) & bring it to the machine in my bedroom and copy the files right there.

Amiga1992 · 04 November 2001, 00:07

EXCELLENT setup, Shadowfire... I plan to add a Jamma cab to my room next year... but I'll prolly put proper games in there rather than making it onto a MAME cab... I loved the pics, keep'em coming guys!

retroman: either bootup./reset by holding down the C= key, or type GO64 at the 128 basic prompt

Since you live in germany you should avoid thsoe metal case 128Ds and go hunt a rare plastic case german 128D, they are MUCH cooler!

Shadowfire · 04 November 2001, 06:57

Oh they can be converted back to cps2 cabs in about 15 seconds, the original games are still in there its just a matter of moving the jamma harness from the PC to the CPS2 board. Want pics of the insides?

Well, it´s definitely no rarity, I would call it a "Womens Comp. Pro" cause it also has some silver glitter sprayed all over it´s case

So a "Gays' Comp. Pro" would have a PINK stick, then? :laugh
(and the plastic case would be covered with VELVET, then, I guess

)

Amiga1992 · 04 November 2001, 18:33

Shadow: good, you have space for PCBs in there too

That's what Id like to do, making a JAMMA harness for the PC taht would be easily removable for the inclusion of a normal PCB... If I can do that, I might consider a MAME cab

Fred the Fop · 07 November 2001, 08:41

Waiting for pic of Twists joint...............

07 November 2001, 08:52

Here's a pic of my game room (I wish

)

Twistin'Ghost · 07 November 2001, 20:55

That's my room (above).

I won't shoot a pic until the rest of my stuff gets here (in a few weeks, hopefully) since it just looks like a bunch of PC's right now. But I will eventually shoot something.

BippyM · 08 November 2001, 04:23

Here is my Amiga b4 I got the PC and packed it away!!

A1200/040 +16Mb
4.3Gig HD
Sony CDU928E CD-R
Creative 36x CDRom
33k6 Modem

HP Deskjet 690c

and a few other bits 'n bobs!!

Amiga1992 · 08 November 2001, 18:25

Hey bippy, how can you stand having your Amiga all gutted like that? I would drive crazy if I had the slightest bit of computer inners outside of their case. My A600s diskdrive lies outside of the case, and that alone drives me completely nutz
