Not sure if hanging those controllers is great for the cables but I really like the way it looks!

[–] Duvidl@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Don't know either but wondered about it, too.

It doesn't seem too taxing on them so I'm hoping for the best.

I would definitely hook one of the other loops and not the one coming straight out of the controller. Will definitely put strain on that connection

[–] Duvidl@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That's a good idea, thx.

[–] Duvidl@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did that, woeks great. Also added Lego wheels to make sure they don't get dented. 10/10, would recommend.

[–] BillyStaples@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Nice! Looks great. Awesome setup

They're close enough to the wall that it looks like you could probably screw some kind of hook or support to the wall to hold the controller itself, and still loop the cord above for aesthetics (but no weight on it)

Something like these

How are those emulation devices? I really want to buy that rg35xx but I think it'd really bother me trying to play say ps1 in such a small screen. And of course ds stuff wouldn't be that good considering the one small screen.

I have the RG35XX, install black seraph’s GarlicOS on it and it’s perfect. The stock OS is terrible in comparison. It runs everything very well and can output to a TV if you want. Also, I’d trash the no-name sd card it comes with and provide your own.

Also it will not play DS, forgot to mention that. As there’s no analog stick you won’t be able to play n64 either, but otherwise it’s incredible for almost every other ps1-era and earlier system.

It's an Anbernic R353V, a R280V and a Miyoo Mini Plus. Honestly, I love them. Especially the Miyoo has a great form factor, I can play all the old RPGs with one hand.

PS1 is fine, although I'd recommend the 353V for that due to the analogue sticks. And I feel that the more colorful games are better on such small screens than say Tomb Raider or the like. Still lotsa fun.

Very cool! Not enough Sega stuff though!

What is the device on the top left? The big SNES controller one.

[–] Duvidl@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hyperkin Supaboy.

Let's play Super Nintendo games on the go using the original cartridges.

[–] turbodrooler@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Wow, pretty cool

[–] Duvidl@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have NO idea why it autorotates the picture. Sorry 'bout the neck pain.

[–] weinermeat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am contacting my lawyer as we speak!

[–] Duvidl@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Fair is fair.

+1 for Yoshi's Island

Why you got three feet?

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok, now you got me wondering.

I see you wrap your N64 controllers on the right side. I've always done an alternating Left/Right wrap.

Anyone want to pick a side or create a new one?
