Thread 11998616

Retro gore thread. Funny drawn-on labels welcome.

I don't have a pic but I did a region mod on my pal snes, used a soldering iron to widen the cart slot. Got a shock when I found it in my storage bin a while ago.

>>11998616 (OP)
as long as the pcb board is fine and maybe the crt if you like burn in, who cares? the rest can easily be replaced/replicated

I really gotta get my cabs out of the garage soon.

What's the gore here? Aside from sitting a well-used monitor directly on the floor?

>>11998695
The painted cabinet itself is a piece of history and art.

>>11998870
the cabinet is just wood panels thats been painted, and stickers placed on them and the glass. Not exactly hard to replicate.

>>11998681
lmfao i probably would have done that 15 years ago when i modchipped my gamecube. i just used full sized discs with the sensor taped down and cover off or some shit, it's been so long

From my personal collection of gore.

I can only assume the previous owner had the bright idea to try and force it to fit into a standard Genesis cart slot. Luckily the board is fine and it works.

I don't get like this with inanimate objects but I felt a pit in my stomach and a little nausea upon seeing that.

Phosphor burn-in used to be a thing on CRTs.

>>11998667
Looks like most of those are sports games, so nothing or very little of value was lost.

>>12000134
No, but it's still retarded.

>>11998681
I want to call him retarded, but it looks like he's done this multiple times. Does this actually work?

>>11999974
From what i recall of the tale, it was the lone survivor due to it not being made of wood.

>>12000137
It does. Someone posted a video of it working a few years ago.

>>11998674
such a sad pic

>>11998672
>what is this? a playstation for ants?

>>12000073
Yeah, I said "well-used."

>>11999974
The Computer Space Cabinet was the only one that was salvaged. The fiberglass body actually protected the components inside from the elements and the cabinet still worked.

The other arcade cabinets were a complete loss. They were made of wood. It was rained on, rotted, and suffered huge water damage to the entire cabinet. The electronics were destroyed by water. Pretty every other cabinet was covered in rotted wood or rust.

>>12000519
when snes' ready to settle down

>>11998681
How can you even cut discs like that?

>>12000397
>>12000661
Thank God for late 60s-Early 70s sci-fi design tastes.

>>12001173
some of those cut marks look like (maybe) a dremel was used. cutting them out is one thing but now the top layer is compromised so i can't imagine those discs lasting long if the freshly cut sides are not sealed up properly. top layer will eventually flake off.

Cut with a pair of scissors, look at the picture closely.

Funny enough, both still work like they're fresh out of the box.

no they don't

>>12000137
You can see that black line he's drawn on the disks, well as long as all the data you need has been written to the sectors inside that black line it should still be readable. Though there is a possibility of fractures extending into the disk and corrupting shit.

>>12002674
You don't even need a marker, you can see where the data is on the reflective side as shown here>>12002616

It's just a matter of having sharp scissors that cut instead of crush, no fractures as a result

>>11998616 (OP)
I believe that cabinet was found in a condemned building slated for demotion. It was in the basement and there leaky pipes all over

>>11998674
>>12000443
I think this was in Europe. The cabinets were in some abandoned building. Off to the left of the picture is a broken window. So stormy rain water was able to get inside over many years and pooled on the floor. So the cabinets very slowly got water damaged over decades.

Also teenagers and vandals broke inside and smashed up the screens. It was basically one those hang out spots for teens and vagrants.

Only he computer space cabinet could be saved. The rest were rusted or water damaged. What a shame.

How is this retro gore? The only thing being cut up here are DVD-Rs, not the Gamecube itself or it's actual games. And for those asking, yes, this worked. IIRC there were even devices made to specifically cut disks to this size. Not recommended though because the disks will likely fail quickly in that state. Though you could also just remove the top cover, but that would leave your GC and the disk exposed while it was working.

>>11998684
Not gore, Atari just sold the case design/moldings to make these, they weren't gutting and re-painting Jaguars. I do wonder what the fuck the cartridge slot is for though.

>>11998692
That's just someone doing something silly for a photo-op

>>12000519
I am guessing some sort of retro-brite attempt gone horribly wrong?

IIRC this was some kind of decommissioned or I think even crashed cruise ship

EZ Mode: Any of Drakon's mods

>>12003685
Which he charged hundreds for by the way
And usually resulted in the person paying even more to an experienced modder to undo his mess

>>12003678
That's what I thought but it's not the Duke of Lancaster where they pulled a shit ton of cabs from a few years back, those weren't in terrible condition like in that pic.

This feels photoshopped, maybe during the 2004 earthquake due to all the SEA-looking guys.

Nope. It's real. I've seen numerous photos of them playing games during floods.

In flood prone areas, they mount the electrical panels on walls up high to avoid water, (or even on the ceiling), and then have the cables come down. They put the desktops on a high table to avoid water.

It's still incredibly dumb. Ignoring the electricity hazard, the water is brown. Also full of bacteria and sewage. They are literally sitting in watery poop.

hell yeah. dont hafta stop gaming to take a piss
