Console clutter - oldschool

[cv643d]

Nice TV. I should grab an old school 80'ies color TV before they become rare and expensive.

I had purchased an Atari Jaguar after getting all excited about it in reading a Retro Gamer mag focus article,

Hey,

Looks like your kitty's interested in that Jaguar...

I like the panoramic picture of your installation. Looks very nice.

I used part of my basement to build myself an office too, but I hardly have the space you have...

I want such an Amiga poster, nice!

If you are looking for a ST monitor I have one for sale.  A SC1224 JVC monitor.

Nice IIgs too! What's under the hood?


I love the Jag! There are quite a few stinkers but I could play Tempest 2000 all day. And Bubsy is a great platformer.

I also have Wipeout 2097 for AmigaPPC and SegaSaturn too...

Great, you have the Ti PeeBOX. How much is it populated ? RAM ? Printer port ? Floppy extension ?
Did you put new capacitors and new diodes ? I know people who saw theirs smoked years ago ...

Why do you use a so small screen ? and why do you connect your machines in Composite or Svidéo mode when you can do it in RGB

Yea, got the PE Box for my TI-99/4A.  It has a 32K RAM expander board in there, bringing the system to 48K total.  Back in 1983, it cost $299 for that 32K upgrade.

Printer port and Floppy controller in there, as well.  I did not replace capacitors, but did have to replace the main unit's motherboard when the video chip died.

The TI-99 does not have RGB out.  That screen accepts S-Video and Composite.  S-Video is offered by all the consoles I have hooked to it, RGB is not.  S-Video seemed the best fit, and I already had the screen.  The small screen for these consoles is fine for their 320x240 (most of them) resolution and, anyway, I have a larger screen for the more recent consoles...

LOL, seems like you actually cleaned up the mess for making the think geek "action shot":

Or did your collection really grow _that_ fast?  :lol:

It grew that fast.  :-)

(Is the long-box rare?)

Exceedingly, over on wipEoutZone the longbox is like the holy grail of wipEout stuff, except possibly for the t-shirt worn by (IIRC) Sarah Cox on the advert for the first game (which was banned in Germany because they thought it promoted drugs). Two of the lonboxes together (for different formats as well) should cause a reality implosion or something. If you have a copy of wipEout Fusion in a lenticular sleeve (pseudo-3D effect thingy) that is also quite rare. Though not looked upon so highly as the longbox as Fusion is regarded by wipEout fans as a bit of a train-wreck.

Only 2 people on wipEoutZone so far as I know have the Amiga version of wipEout2097: me and this French guy called Arnaud who has copies of pretty much everything wipEout related and holds most of the time records there.

Interesting.  

I took a pic of my wipE'out" stuff and posted it in my gallery.

The "Prototype" pictured is mine  ;-)

US models seems to be able too :


Ps : i'm still looking for the Disk Drive Controller (PHP1800C )... and you can contact Fabrice of Ti99.com, he knows me  ;-)
I saw you have a PhotoCd player, do you have something to build yourself PhotoCDdisk ??
