Show us your retro setups!

[kinger8938]

Always love seeing other peoples setups! Mine is rather basic I guess but I love it, just wish I had more time to make use of it. I tend to play this lot between gaps in modern releases. Recently added the original Xbox, not pre-2000 I know

Few more in spoiler tag

Cheap USB LED backlight to set the mood

My retro 'setup' is constantly changing as I only really have room for one thing in addition to my main PC. so...

Windows XP PC:
P4 2.4GHz
1.25GB DDR
Geforce 4MX 440 (currently looking for something better)


Windows 98SE PC:

Slot A Athlon 800MHz
256MB SDR RAM
Voodoo 3 2000 / TNT2
SB Live!


I even dabbled about gaming on an Atom SOC ITX board from 2010 (1.6GHz 2c/4t, HD integrated graphics... but it was useless at early XP gaming, surprisingly thanks to the CPU not GPU as I paired it with a PCI ATI 9250 and it still sucked at Vice City!)

Currently messing about with a soldered VIA/Cyrix CPU board thing.



When it's all tidied away it looks like this (with the PCs under the desk)

I built it.

Is is a proper scanline supported monitor or is it emulated in mame?

It's an ancient IPS panel I purchased from OcUK over ten years ago.
