Anyone here do it? I’ve been mostly play NES on original equipment with a CRT. I’ll occasionally fire up the PS3 to play something. Even throw in a ps2 game in that, since it’s a release fat boy.

Retro gaming is about all I do now. From emulation on handhelds, to 1/4 sized arcade cabs, to actual cabs. 

have a trimui brick and last year's retroid pocket (5?). usually use the brick. need to get cloud saves going somehow.

I do quite a bit.

At some point, when I have the space, I’m putting in a multicade and a couple pinball machines.

I need to get a switch or a couple of more CRT to hook up some more equipment. Is like to get my SNES hooked up (it’s the one I got when they came out) and my ps2 and ps3. I’m not really worried about hooking up the ps1 that I bought. But I would like to play Socom and Black on original equipment again. Need to dig up a couple of controllers and memory cards.

Been messing with a gamecube emulator on my PC and have had some fun with it. The controls tend to be a little janky and haven't aged well but God damn do the games look great. RE4 is my fav so far - that and Pikmin. 

It was pretty easy to set up although I had to fiddle with the controller settings to get my Xbox controller to behave properly.

And a good isos library.

Also played a little Pokémon emerald on my android through pizza boy and that runs well. Nice too because you can speed the game up which makes walking from town to town less of a pain in the ass.

I picked up a 29" JVC a few years ago to use for retro gaming, but I've never actually set it up!  Might try that over the holidays.  I installed a bunch of emulators on my Shield which was fun.  Really just wish I had more time to play (and more friends that wanted to play!)

Arrived today. Quarter Arcade Elevator Action. These 1/4 scale arcade machines are so cool when you need to kill some time at the office and people love them. Perfectly playable, original the original roms, and are a spot on recreation of the real thing, just small. 

Bought the BurgerTime last week.

Which poster did the restoration of the arcade cabinets? Was that you @Deej?

 

Was it @Modessit?

IIRC he used to fix up (real) arcade games.

Everyone involved in that, from the product, to the video review, to the post, to my reply to that post.....need to get a job.  (I'm looking for a new job).  How can that level of dorkiness and time wasting on the most irrelevant thing exist?
