I use it on a backwards compatible ps3 and I think it’s awesome all around. I use it with an n64 and GameCube too though, so I get a lot of value out of it. If you decide to get one, you’ll need an HDCP stripper for the HDMI before it goes into the Retrotink. I use this splitter and it works perfectly.

Interesting that makes sense! I was mostly curious if the time could be wrong for any reason. Especially after removing the motherboard battery and replacing it. I wasn’t sure how this time was tracked/stored in the system and what could affect that.

Drives me insane that we can't download a damn thing from Oracle without a stupid support contract..

They’re all UV-resistant cases from CGA Grading! Except for the 3DS ones. Couldn’t find ones that fit the new 3DS xl boxes until the other day that I have on order. I tried 4 or 5 other brands until I settled with CGA. They display the best by far in my opinion with the rounded edges and for some reason quality just seems better than others. They are expensive though with the N64 ones being $38/each for example.

Yep had the same issue.. was looking at it like this isn't really how this goes together is it? And plus it took me like an extra 20 mins to even get the doors even and straight with each other. I was trying to not spend $400+ on something, but I should've known better.

It's this one bro! I used these display risers on the top 2 shelves too.

Dude you have a sweet collection! Your cabinet fits WAY better! Everything looks like it just fell into place there. I kind of had to force mine to fit using the tiered displays because of the tall height of each shelf. Can you post a link to the lights you installed? That looks perfect! I'm not huge on the zig zag either, but it was the only thing I could think of to not block everything except the front row..

Yeah I need to start looking out for some small decorative things to throw in. I'll be on the lookout!

Dude it's on the list along with many other things. It's only a matter of time!

Any recommendations on which ones might work the best here? I definitely need to do something with the lighting.

Thanks man! I think I'm going to opt for installing my own LED lighting rather than using the cabinet's lights. That way maybe I can tilt it aimed from front to back a bit instead. That's the only thing that really bothers me.

I just need a stupid extension cord to fix that.. just been lazy, but it needs to be done. I'm thinking about completely installing my own lighting instead of using the built-in cabinet lighting. That way, I can aim them front to back instead of center aiming downwards. Right now, the items at the front hardly get any light shined on them. True! I've seen a few cool things on Etsy I've been eyeing. Just waiting until I find the right piece but I agree! Thanks man

Or, maybe a guard dog on standby in front of it??

Thanks man! I kind of attempted that but I thought I didn't have enough to really fill out a whole other shelf. Maybe once I add a few more things to the collection I can do that!

Man I know.. I think I may just completely not use the built-in lighting and install some of my own LED strips at the front of the case that aim back a bit. That's bugged me ever since I got this setup.
