my tated PC/MAME setup >

Things you need to fill a sudden urge for verticalness: Mini projector, tripod head, clamp, suitable wall =)

I rearranged my setup a little, tried to "emulate" Egret

Spoiler

CLOSE ENOUGH!

[rugdoctor]

extra credit for sticking to floppy disk in this day and age. Tilt the screen back more and bring it to the front then you are 5 steps closer to cab spec.

[FinalBaton]

Nice small setup!
I always like seeing crt used in tate sessions

thumbs up for the stick

[Trevor spencer]

Hey thanks. Its a 14" Sony, Picture is really nice and that HRAP 1 is modded with an LS-58.

Plays really well actually

i've updated a bit. same old vizio screen.

vizio led on a TATEable stand. my friends and i have had many a late night drunken shmup/fight session in this room.

it's not actually a game, just a wallpaper.

I don't have a tate-able CRT TV (and I don't fuck with LCD) sadly so only the MAME box gets it, sad because I normally mostly play on real hardware. Someday I'll get a nice big B/PVM. The janky-ass Hori EX2 is on it's way out, to be replaced with a hrap VX SE Kai

I have a question. If you use MAME with tate screen than what resolution and setting do you people use ?:) I mean so it's not stretched or something

Custom line doubled resolution?
Run mame> Get native resolution info>Create custom resolution in drivers>Set scaling to display>set that resolution when playing?

Also: Cab related but must show anyway, https://youtu.be/FCVI8bxy9yg?t=838 Anyone interested in a Blast City without a working TV? hah
Just saw this earlier, 450$ with Bass Fishing. Shame the TV doesn't work.

Just dusting off a few games and consoles lately, starting with some PS1/2 verts:

Thought I should show some taté (click for original size/scanlines).

^^^^^^^^^
Beautiful setup.

What model is the Sony? Exterior looks just like the PVM-2030 that I sold 2 weeks ago

Thanks FB - it's just my PGM2950QM. I was looking for a 15KHz monitor to match it - and you just sold one, damn I can't seem to find any for a reasonable price right now all I have is an old Commodore 1702 (s-video) for everything else right now.

I'm new to this whole tate-ing deal. Does this work best with a 16:9 monitor? Were the 1990's arcade schmups designed to run on a tilted widescreen display?

[Guspaz]

No, but a 4:3 monitor looks taller than you might think if you rotate it. That shot from J-P s a 4:3 monitor, for example.

That certainly makes more sense. 4:3 monitors look square-ish the right way up to me, that's a bloody optical illusion! This must be the secret power of the Tate.

[KatKya]

I can count on one hand the number of times I've actually rotated a screen for TATE, but just had to do this once while I was reorganizing somethings.

Spoiler

Geometry is especially wonky like this, and the presumed purity issue the monitor has is further intensified like this, but it was still fun to do.

The other thing that I find is that screen real estate goes a touch further, perception-wise, with a tated display. If I had say a 14" and a 20" and had equal usage expected for both orientations, I would absolutely tate the 14" rather than the 20". There may be a science to it as far as how our eyes work, I don't know - but regardless, it's my take away.

I currently have a 24 inch Aiwa I found in the trash back in September. It has worked well enough but I actually think it is too big for the distance I play at. If I can find a smaller one I will grab it.
