Watched 10 seconds of the video.  No RGB, admits to using composite, and that screen's lack of scan lines is disgusting.  Also even worse he has an SNES in there.  SNES makes everything so ugly it's unreal.  Ask any attractive girl to hold an SNES and you'll see her melt into the wicked witch of mooseland faster then tats can say "System card me."

There's a SNES in the pic at least. Second row, far right.

My setup involves multiple A/V switches (never modded my systems for RGB, need to keep it authentic) and a CRT TV.

I might not have as good of a shelving setup, but at least I am in 4:3.

yeah his shelves are nice, but the lack of a CRT just throws me for a loop. He states he loves the 16-bit era, you would think a CRT would be a must

He does have a CRT display in that room, it is behind the couch and has another 6 systems connected to it. As one user posted on here his Youtube username is 16BitGhost and he had a great idea of the system cabinet. Weird that it took this long to go viral which is sad. Great youtube and gamer if you have never chatted with him before.

It's a pretty cool setup, but there's a bit too much displaying going on. Boxes and stuff like that take a lot of place, without being of much use. I'm not saying he should dispose of them, but maybe keep them somewhere else. Other than that, it seems pretty sweet. That couch, if a bit bloat-ish, looks comfy and the "mame-table"-thing behind it is a cool touch.

As for the LCD-TV, I was content with the picture I got from mine before I got a PCE and my TV couldn't really handle it. Saturn & PS1 fared pretty well on it. And let's not forget about how much space a CRT takes and how much they weigh. But seeing how much money he must've thrown down for that, maybe he could do well to invest in a scaler.

Edit: Wow, just hit 200 posts. I know that post count really doesn't matter much, but, can't help to be proud *sniff*

Yeah this guy has a great set up and a respectable collection (he has a complete JP Saturn library) with some cool custom machines, but the way he drones on about game collecting made his videos irritating for some reason..

You don't "need" a CRT to play all those consoles.  I own a CRT, but I only ever use it or lightgun games, everything else is plugged into the plasma - and nothing is modded at the moment, it all uses its best native output (apart from the Dreamcast)

Here's the thing though.   If you can afford a 46'' tv, all those shelves and lights, and all those games.  I think you can afford a decent scaler and a small pile of RGB cables to plug into it.

Yeah if you watch his vids (I think his YouTube account is 16 bit Ghost) he mods a lot of his consoles to RGB or the best video output it can handle.

This set-up sucks. The TV is so f*cking high up in the air I'd get a neck ache actually playing games...assuming I didn't puke first from the horror that is LCD via composite...that must look so f*cking horrible. All those f*cking PS2s and he can't afford an upscaler?

This post pretty much has all the bad stuff and little of the good that goes along with modern collecting. Its all about hoarding the most LIMITEDOMGR@RE quantities of shit a person can find and focuses much less on the actual software (i.e.the data on the cart, not the plastic its in) and the actual playing of games in non-Youtube situations.

While I like his Char's Gamecube, I'd much rather have my setup.

its not that.

its that the media suddenly makes a scene about setups like this, when its f*ckin normal and been done for the past like 20 years by the rest of us
