Wow.

That looks like a Japanese arcade.

^^ Those red and blue rope lights look oddly familiar.

Someone help a brotha out. Whats a good, cheap, decent size crt that is tate'able?

Also on my current tv a Memorex which I have tate'd, the image looks fine and everything. Only problem is at the very top of the screen the image begins to "bend" when ever bullets fly up towards it from my ship. It isn't game breaking but its pretty distracting, I wish it wouldn't do this.

good convergence is hard to find. Try a sony trinitron.

I'm a little bit pissed off right now.

I have tried to tate all my TV:s but all gets fucked up ( sorry for the laungues).

But I thinking of look after some cheap TV on second hand stores.

My current tate setup comprises of a 22" lcd and xrgb-2:

xrgb-2 does a decent job, the image is very sharp:

And a Ikea Bestä shelf, isn't it?

XRGB-2 scanlines look great in that monitor

Might as well post this here too: http://www.ghegs.com/img/ghegs_gaming_setup.jpg

It's a pretty big pic, so beware.

The tate tv doesn't have a broken glass, the camera's flash just created a weird effect.

Looks like every single mofo has Futari

yeah just ignore samurai showdown lol. You can see my supergun running in this picture. I don't have any shmup pcbs yet....they're kinda not cheap.....I stuck my tv like this because I have a buddy coming over later and we'll be playing some shmups.

Posting here also for posterity.

I'll rebuild this summer but I'm in a dorm right now, so... no tools!

Two pics of my selfmade cab. It houses a tated TV, supergun and consoles:

Can you take a gut shot, antares?

Wel I like it antares. Not my particular style but is very nicely done. But personally If I was gonna commit the money and space to a full cab you could get a older Blast city or other candy cab for around $500 I think.

Under the TV there's a little amplifier.
In the upper shelf lies the supergun + pcb.
In the middle there's room for consoles.
Two big speakers are on the ground.

On these pins you can adjust the image.

And here's another pic from the sideart:

That's really one of the best looking non-original sideart I've seen. Great idea.

Thought I might post my shmup setup as well after lurking around in the forums for almost 5 years.

Connected to the Barco RGB screen: Saturn, PS2, Supergun

Small Sony CRT for everything retro related: PCE, MD, FC and Saturn.

Everything else (like mainstream soft) is connected to a 37" HDTV. Although that setup is quite nice I think, I'm planning to improve it someday soon. The Barco screen shall become just another RGB monitor for retro consoles as I'm hopefully gonna be able to track down an Egret 2 within the next year or so. Ketsui is about to come too ^_____^

Sony 17" E200 Multiscan, the pics don't do it justice, on DC tates it's beautiful

Nice SFC joystick LOL

Rossyra · Post by **Rossyra** » Sun Feb 08, 2009 4:13 pm

I ruined it earlier adding a 50/60Hz mod, that was my idea of recycling the case

nice setup.

in before aspect ratio/scaling bickering.

Hey aryssoR, that Super Famicon controller is awesome!!!

I suppose it's about time I post my modest little setup, I even got my 'mascots' demonstrating how they get in the way while I play. I've got the standard laptop ghetto tate.

My hori setup with a stand i built since this computer gets incredibly hot, and a cat looking rather surly.

KBZ · Post by **KBZ** » Thu Feb 12, 2009 8:08 am

damn cats jumping up during play. I've lost many a match on ggpo because of my cat jumping up at me. Lost many more wishing I could blame it on the cat...

Here is my current dual-monitor setup:

Two 21" CRT TV, connected to SCART RGB
(Sorry for the pictures taken without flash and without tripod)

Using a stock white HRAP3 as input.

bostongeorge · Post by **bostongeorge** » Sun Feb 22, 2009 10:32 pm

DC modded PS2 and MAME/PC. The Street Fighter 4 stick is for 360/PC and has all Sanwa parts. The HRAP2:SA is a PS2/XBOX360/PC mod with an LS-32 and Sanwa buttons,

Not pictured is 42" Panasonic Plasma and Xbox 360, they are directly 180 degrees behind where I was standing when I took this pic at eye level on the opposite wall.

drboom · Post by **drboom** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 8:47 pm

Here's a pic of the NEC XM29 I have running all of my tate'd systems at the moment.

...and the resolutuion is just stupidly awesome.

I also have about 6 27" TV's in prep for this weekend's shmupmeet, which I picked up for $20-30 for each of them and they all work great and look great. Tried all of them tated and I'm pretty impressed what $20 can get you. Craigslist is key.

Bancho · Post by **Bancho** » Thu Feb 26, 2009 9:05 pm

Hi all.

First post here.

Been into shmups for a while now, mainly ps2 cave titles. This is my temporary setup until i sort a permanent desk for it.

PS2 connected to a Samsung 19" Monitor though a HD Box Pro and a VF4 Joystick.
