No need for controller extensions

I always wanted a NeoGeo MVS cabinet set up. That would keep me busy.

yes, you totally do. i remember reading a few articles on the front page about game rooms and was very intrigued. this would be a good thing to do and gives a good outlet for people to show off their accomplishments. that being said, sweet game room! i'm astonished by your collection (that's a good thing).

Muchos props on the room, man. That is a fantastic place for gaming! Showed the pics to my wife and even she approved.

BTW I have to ask - looks like you've got a SNES hooked up to your flat-panel TV there. From the pic it looks like the picture is great. Is it stretched to fit the 16:9 size? How is the resolution of your old cartridge games on this TV? Is it LCD or plasma?

The dilemma of playing older games on new tv tech has been a topic here for a while, so I thought you might be able to give some impressions because it looks like you're playing all of your retro stuff on a new tv.

My TV is a 50" Panasonic Veira and I play all my video games from INtellivision to PS3 on it. The retro games show well on this TV and I can't complain. It is obviously not like using a small tube TV, but defintely usuable even to someone that has always played classics on a smaller tube tv.

Is there much of a difference between plasma and LCD when it comes to the picture quality of 8 or 16 bit games? Anyone have any idea?

well, I have both types of TV in the same room, but I do not think it would be an accurate comparison as the plasma is a 50" and the LCD is only a 37". I think it would be best if they were both the smae size.

Just out of curiosity, where do you work and are they offering jobs?
