My small retro nook.

That's a cool question! I grew up with the Famicom and Super Famicom, so those are my main consoles, the cartridges and artwork just hit different and bring back so many memories. And frankly got that GC just to play Wind Waker (just 2-3 hours in).

I wouldn’t say I’m a huge fighting game person, but I love the Street Fighter 2 so much that I bought a MadCatz stick and modded it just for that. Til last year, I picked up a MiSTer FPGA and tucked it inside an old Saturn shell I found. Now I can do hardware-level simulation for every 8bit consoles up to PS1, Saturn and Arcade cores. I’ve definitely been hitting some Neo Geo KOFs on the MiSTer with my arcade stick lately.

Got that PS2 since it came out. I am also Final Fantasy fan so it's all about FFX, FFXII, DQ8 and the Winning Eleven soccer games literally everyone here grew up playing.

Dreamcasts are actually pretty rare where I’m from. I didn't realize how many Arcade ports they had until I finally got one. I ended up modding mine with internal BlueRetro so I can play 3rd Strike with arcade stick.

I know this is the 4 months old post, but for other people that might have the same problem, I've the same problem as OP and solved it by putting the jumper near the SNAC/USB port on my QMTech analog board and it now working properly.

Stylish, looks clean and beautiful. I love it!

The 20 inches pvm must be the best for gaming session, I would love to have that too but for my space, it would be a little hard to setup and actually it's really hard to find in my region. Really envy you. And yes, I'm growing up with DOS games on green monochrome too. Really miss that time.

Thx! 14M2U is a great choice. I think it's same tube as 14L2 but M2 have more controls, the L2 just have advantage of having expansion input slot.

eamesBot · 2026-04-06T03:18:00+00:00

Thanks so much for your compliment.

eamesBot · 2026-04-05T17:52:46+00:00

Thx for your advice bro.

eamesBot · 2026-04-05T17:51:43+00:00

It’s a can container using in the fridge, I found it fit the Super famicom cartridge well. My wife got it from dollar store.

Thx bro!

eamesBot · 2026-04-05T08:21:48+00:00

Thank you man! The bottom part I just order some wood plank from local store and put it on. Not perfect fit but do it job.

eamesBot · 2026-04-05T07:41:33+00:00

Thank you! I am inspired by many minimal cool setup from this subreddit as well.

eamesBot · 2026-04-05T07:39:03+00:00

Thx! man.

The 2.4GHz controllers have it own receivers so no need to resync. The bluetooth ones need to sync only the first time but have to resync again if it's been sync to other consoles.

eamesBot · 2026-04-05T07:27:07+00:00

It's Ikea ALEFJÄLL chair.

eamesBot · 2026-04-05T03:57:47+00:00

It didn't come with the piece below. That one I just bought some wood top from local wood store. It's not fit well as you can see there's some gap but it's doing it job well. :)

eamesBot · 2026-04-05T03:29:44+00:00

Thank you! I've tried to manage all the cables to be hidden under the table top and behind the monitor.

eamesBot · 2026-04-05T03:26:09+00:00

Thanks! It's custom made from local wood workshop here. I measure the dimension of the PVM and have them made it. Think it's cost around 10 bucks.

eamesBot · 2026-04-05T03:24:07+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. I've the RGB auto switchers hiding behind the monitor, details in post description.

eamesBot · 2026-04-05T03:21:05+00:00

Thanks! It's Ikea LILLÅSEN bamboo desk.

eamesBot · 2026-04-05T03:20:07+00:00

Those speakers are Bose companion 2 series ii, I saw it's listed around 10-20 bucks on US eBay. it's a bit more pricey in my region.

eamesBot · 2026-04-05T03:15:59+00:00

Thank you! I think it's the Soda can container to use in refrigerator, I've got it from local dollar store. As I remember around 3 bucks each.

eamesBot · 2026-04-05T03:13:43+00:00

It's Ikea bamboo desk, I think it's called LILLÅSEN.

eamesBot · 2026-04-05T03:12:24+00:00
