Well its not in my computer as such its into my monitor i just use a vga hd cable for the xbox plug that into my monitor unplug the 3 audio wires for my 5.1 and plug them into a converter which turns the 2 red and white audio cables holes from teh vga cable making it so i can plug in the beige black and green audio wires from my speakers.

Ok, here's a very hurridly pic taken today, mid clean up / clear out of stuff.

Bad Quality, as the picture was taken via my RAZR.


Ok, so now can anyone guess what all the gaming hardware is in there?

Special props to anyone who can guess the lot, some is easy, some is not so and one particular piece will be nigh on impossible i think.

I just cleaned up a little bit, so there aren't any huge updates or anything. However, with new pics, comes a new post:

And when friends come over, and we need more room than my 10*11 bedroom can provide...

wow


Love the Saturn. Where's your Dreamcast? What's that thing on top of the PS2?

Is that a CPS2 arcade board at the top? Since it's green I assume it's a japanese version. if it where the US or Euro version it would be blue.

Are all of your games and systems from japan?

Edit: Cheated and looked at your profile. Is that the corner of a NEO-GEO AES under the photo in the upper left hand corner? Sorry can't make out what those 2 black boxes that are next to the CPS2. Hard to tell because of picture quality.

Nice Spotting, sorry about the picture quality.

Also, it would be impossible to tell as to what was in the black box folders as there is no clue from that angle (there is game art on the tops), anyway they contain the arcade pcb's for Battle Bakraid, Armed Police Batrider and also temporarily for Ketsui (original full Kit box and art set are stored out of harm's way)

Yes you are correct the CPS2 board is Japanese and the game is Progear no Arashi, again you couldn't tell what it would be, although there are various pics of this and the other pcb's on Photobucket.

Most of my consoles are pretty much Japanese Imports as some of the games that I like (mainly shmups and other 2d stuff) only came out over there, I do have a few Euro consoles (N64, Jaguar, Snes and Xbox1) although they are pretty much out of my current set up (360 is asian as I wanted to play Senko No Ronde).

Out of that picture, but still in active use are my JPN Neo Geo (a BIOS modded version (a 'spare' one is also stored with original box etc)) My collection of Cartridge games are out of site but displayed on a covered shelf and or in a cuboard.

My JPN Dreamcast is also out of sight, but still gets used honest! as can be seen (almost) by some games stacked on the small upper shelf. Again I also have a spare, boxed console :)

The Saturn is a JPN only Victor Saturn which I got to play the likes of Silvergun and Battle Garegga.

The console sitting on the PS2 is a Pc Engine Duo RX, which I feel has one of the best gaming libraries of any console - current Wii owners playing the Hudson back catalogue would probably agree. I still think it has the best Castlevania game (Dracula X) and again a myriad of cracking Shmups and platformers.

Most of this little lot feeds into my Wall mounted Sharp Aquos, which also rotates through 90 degrees so that my shooters can be enjoyed TATE (Portrait style) as many of them were intended.

I try and play most of my stuff as much as I can, although I many other consoles have had to be stored away due to new arrivals, especially my import handheld console collection.

I think my 360 has decided its faulty! :(

Keep getting freezes and these strange coloured blocks on the screen. Oh well, take it to work 2mora and replace it, not to worry. Annoying tho, only started recently, been fine for, ohhhh 8 months.

You might want to put some distance between your iBook and that subwoofer's massive driver magnet...


blakespot

It will be fine. the magnets in the hard drive are much more powerful then that subwoofer.

Got a new shelf, and the HD-DVD drive. The vertical game rack has been replaced with 2 more Atlantic Pagodas, and I dusted everything off:
