RickR Posted July 1, 2022 Report Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) My setup is boring. I haven't really decided where its final home will be. This is our main family room TV, and I like this a lot for the VCS. The 55" TV has a beautiful picture quality, and the Bose speakers with subwoofer give the games a tremendous bumping sound. I'll post again once I get it situated permanently. Edited July 1, 2022 by RickR Sabertooth, AtariVcsOnyxUser and Portaro 3
RickR Posted September 21, 2022 Report Posted September 21, 2022 I'm in a gaming room now and really happy with this setup. 42" TV feels just right. Portaro, AtariVcsOnyxUser, Smell Dawg and 2 others 5
Mockduck Posted October 27, 2022 Report Posted October 27, 2022 Second VCS is hooked up to my computer, third VCS is being used as a livestream box for the church I go to. RickR, Smell Dawg, Justin and 2 others 5
Atari 5200 Guy Posted January 28, 2024 Report Posted January 28, 2024 Well…mine seems comfortable next to my PS5 and Switch. Justin, MaximumRD, RickR and 3 others 6
sramirez2008 Posted January 28, 2024 Report Posted January 28, 2024 Hmm...I thought I added a post to this thread, but guess not. Okay here it goes. Mine sits next to my old Windows desktop setup. I keep an external SSD connected to boot up in PC mode and have Stella, Altirra and A7800 loaded with a few adapters to play the games the way they were meant to be played. I've purchased several of the Recharged games, as well as a few Indie and homebrews from a couple of the AA developers. Oh and anyone that hasn't purchased Atari 50 should really do so. 🙂 Game On everyone! Smell Dawg, Sabertooth, AtariVcsOnyxUser and 3 others 6

Sabertooth Posted January 29, 2024 Author Report Posted January 29, 2024 Atari 50 is a must on any platform. It far exceeds a simple anthology compilation. It's beautifully curated and the new games by Digital Eclipse are excellent. The paddle functionality on the Classic makes the VCS version the one to get.

Smell Dawg Posted January 29, 2024 Report Posted January 29, 2024 One of my favorite parts of having a VCS unit out has been all the comments received from visiting friends and family. "What the heck, that kinda looks like an Atari. Wait, it IS an Atari!!??" 😄 sramirez2008, RickR, Atari 5200 Guy and 1 other 3 1
AtariVcsOnyxUser Posted May 18 Report Posted May 18 Hello VCS Family! 🫂👨👩👧👦 Here is my set up: I learned from @Yorkies TV how to install a drive 🙇: And I learned from a Discord member "Super Bros" how to install Artic 6 Thermal Paste 🙇: Those upgrades allowed me to install lots of games while also keeping the machine cooled! This is my final setup for now. 2 Classic Joystick, 2 Modern Controllers, and a Logitech wireless keyboard, that was also suggested to me by a discord friend "scxlpture" (a.k.a. Pretty Dull). 🙇 This is the final result 🎉: And for laughs, here is me in the VCS Hoodie, which I would highly recommend to anyone that likes the VCS or a good black hoodie. 😶🌫️ Sabertooth, sramirez2008, Smell Dawg and 2 others 5
