Think about what today is considered next level vs what it used to be

What do you use for you irregular Nintendo?
I'll see myself out
Lol great comment. I say regular because it's 2025 and some people hear Nintendo and think Switch, or as we used to if you didn't say regular. People would think Super Nintendo.

I don't feel nostalgic for the dark times when our televisions weighed 80 lbs just to beam us an inferior image. Sure, maybe for when being a teenager at the mall meant meeting girls and having a good time with friends walking around, buying nothing because we were all broke. But only the social aspects were better. I'll take today's entertainment any day of the week.

ok...

I have that exact Aiwa music player.
Last Sunday when I went back to my parents house, I noticed that the clock was blinking because there was a blackout, so I turned on and I saw that the 5 CD changer not only gets stuck but the laser doesn't see the discs anymore
I'm sad
Probably a relatively easy fix.

If I walk into a house and see that setup I know there is a dead cat under one of the old sofas.

Thank for saying this, and also nice to meet you, fellow roadside and bin scrapper!
Been thinking on starting a comm showcasing crap I found in the trash, see if others join in.

My next level is going back to that. Not with a huge CRT or a full-blown hifi system, but a nice place with a screen, some offline way to play music/audio, a few books maybe…

What's the CRT on the bottom left?
Also yes.

Have you softmodded the PS1 to accept backups? There's a disc you can burn that if you do the swap trick with it it will configure a memory card to be used to load backups
I've got 2 PS1's, and the one most visible in this photo is an SCPH-1001 with the RCA jacks on the back. I haven't modded it because I've got better ways to play backups of PS1 games and it's not quite worth the effort. I have used TonyHax on it though, which does the job.
the other PSOne is barely visible right next to it. I got it from an estate sale and it actually came with a modchip! So i can play backup discs on that one if i want. -
No Saturn?
I've been wanting a Saturn for a while now, but not yet! I usually play Saturn games on my MiSTer.
-
That a RetroPie setup at the bottom left?
A7thStone is right, it's a MiSTer in a custom "case" i made.

Oh nice, how good is the MiSTer with Saturn games?

Been a great time going back and playing ff7 and frogger 2.

Nice. I've been meaning to pick up a CRT iMac or even an eMac.

CRT contrast ratios were unmatched until plasma. LEDs never compared until OLED. Flat screen CRT HDTVs were amazing.

I also enjoy retrogaming. Party on.

nice! I bought this one like 15 years ago for like $20 from a guy in a mall parking lot, advertised as broken. it had like "University of Washington" written on it, so presumably he got it from a school several years before he sold it to me. Initially I wanted to gut it to make a fish tank, but i was lazy and also that was a stupid idea. Instead I fixed it and installed Mac OS Classic on it, as well as marathon.

Haha nice. I'm not sure what I'd use it for, but when I was a tad younger, I used my brother's eMac a lot with Garageband, so pure nostalgia.
