Hooking up Multiple Video Game Systems by Mike Matei
Fans having been asking me for quite a while about how I hook up all my game consoles. My setup isn’t the most efficient thing in the world, but it gets the job done. There are probably better switchers out there I could be using, but this is just the way I’ve been doing it. I use mostly basic RCA Splitters that can be bought at local stores like Radio Shack and Target.
I would like to improve the way I have everything hooked up however. So if you have any ideas on how I can improve my gaming setup, please let me know.
I know there are 8 way RCA splitters out there, but really I need one more extreme then that, which is why I haven’t bothered upgrading. I need something that does more like 20 way…
What I really need is something that can has more ports for HDMI, Coaxial & RCA all together..
Here’s a list of the systems that are hooked up at my apartment now. And what method I’m using for each.
Nintendo Entertainment system (NES) - RCA (modded)
Famicom - Coaxial (i’d like to get a modded fermium but don’t have one yet)
Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) - RCA
Nintendo 64 - RCA
Gamecube - RCA
Sega Genesis - RCA
Sega Saturn - RCA
Panasonic 3DO - RCA
Turbo Duo - RCA
Xbox - RCA
Playstation 2 - RCA
Dreamcast - RCA
Sega Master System - RCA
Atari 7800 - RCA (modded)
Atari 5200 - RCA (modded)
Wii U - HDMI
Retron 5 - HDMI
Xbox 360 - HDMI
Playstation 3 - HDMI
Ouya - HDMI

@Double_K_A 9 лет назад

Master0fHyrule No problem. By the way, one of your new videos was featured on famous channel EWNetwork. So that's cool.

@Double_K_A 9 лет назад

What are you two guys talking about?

@JamesNintendoNerd 9 лет назад

Mike here! To those curious, I don't seem to get any noticeable lag playing NES on my 4k TV setup by using 4way RCA splitters.. twitter.com/Mike_Matei/status/586413558260350976

@CaptainUmiya 9 лет назад

This is really useful

@josway0835 9 лет назад

That's a crazy setup tho

@TyroneLWarbasse 9 лет назад

Some HDTVs have lag, some don't. On mine, I use an AV to VGA box and use the VGA port. No lag. I even use switchers to expand the VGA port to take 16 AV systems. For older systems that use RF only, I recommended a commercial-grade demod unit, instead of modifications.

@mr.c2886 9 лет назад

Richard woo that would defeat the purpose of the nerd videos besides it is also illegal

@StacyDevino 9 лет назад

clint c Emulation is not inherently illegal. Emulating games you don't own copies of... That's illegal. But to be fair its not like they are making new copies of Double Dragon cartridges. My setup I have 16 consoles on one TV and they work well. Its all about those 8:1 switches.

@AlphaOmegaSin 9 лет назад

I basically did my best to hook up as many systems that play all sorts of games just to save on room. 1st gen PS3 (Plays PS1-3), Wii U (Wii-WiiU), Sega CDX (Genesis-CD), Saturn, Retron 5 (NES,Genesis,SNES,GBA etc), XBOX 360 (XBOX-360) and then my monster ass PC. Got a tube television upstairs though damn near only just for all my lightgun games since obviously all the new rigs can't do that sorta shit

@SideshowAfroNinja 9 лет назад

AlphaOmegaSin you do PC gaming??

@JamesNintendoNerd 9 лет назад

AlphaOmegaSin Where are you hooking up your Atari 7800? Huh?? :)-Mike

@AlphaOmegaSin 9 лет назад

Cinemassacre My brother has the 2600, that's about all we'eve ever jammed on before. Don't have enough house space for the 5200 naturally since helicopter landing pads disguised as consoles aren't easy to fit into a home.

@AlphaOmegaSin 9 лет назад

Th3AfroNinja I have ever since I was a kid

@Kit_Bear 9 лет назад

AlphaOmegaSin It's great to see you outside your own channel Alpha. Why don't you, Mike and James get together again, have a Vs on the Genesis etc...? Or play Nintendo World Championships to see who get's the best time.

@mysticanimation22 9 лет назад

Just glad to see that even a 4K TV can still make classics look great!

@deathangellink 9 лет назад

playing N64 on a 64 inchs TV my childhood dream , i think i could cry.

@Jedicake 9 лет назад

deathangellink The blurryness of N64 games already look bad, in my opinion. can't even imagine how bad it'd look on a huge tv.

@TheBjscool 9 лет назад

deathangellink HD TVs have input lag with older consoles w/ component cables so a CRT would be better for older games. Plus old games don't look as good on HDTVs, I think they look a lot crisper on CRTs

@LordMonkus 9 лет назад

TheBjscool Turn on gaming mode on newer tvs and no more input lag. Older consoles hooked to modern tvs does look like shit but running emulator with filters makes it looks way better.

@TheBjscool 9 лет назад

KashiwaDaisuke Lord Monkus I've never tried "Gaming mode" but I doubt they have no input lag, like Kashiwa said.

@RetrOrigin 9 лет назад

Lord Monkus Game mode does not eliminate input lag at all. In only disables excessive post-processing (image enhancing features and the like) to reduce input lag. Even the fastest PC monitors have at least 0.9ms of input lag. You can read/learn more about it at the displaylag database website.

@shedd45 6 лет назад

Just curious, how would that hurt it? I‘m ignorant.

@mini-_ 3 года назад

@@shedd45 not sure if you still care, but basically heat is bad for electronics. The 360 would just exhaust heat into the N64, which won't be great. It shouldn't melt the plastics or whatever, but it could deform metal shields on the inside.

@thegamingphile 9 лет назад

The 3DO is hooked up but the dreamcast isn't?! BLASPHEMY!! Lol

@lotus-prince 9 лет назад

Mike: I suspect that your Sega Saturn starts with that unnecessary menu screen because your battery's dead. Look into replacing the battery - it's really easy. It's one of the dime battery types that you can pick up at your local convenience store, and replacing it is a piece of cake. Just pop open the back hatch of the Saturn and dig the battery out with your thumbnail.

@Bartholamue 9 лет назад

Lotus Prince CR2032's to be precise.

@lotus-prince 9 лет назад

Bartholamue Ah, thanks! I never can remember that. I just take out the dead battery, bring it to the store, and look for another battery with a matching number. :-P

@ShunShinimaru 9 лет назад

@Pegwarmers 9 лет назад

This is insane. I totally get it... but it's insane. Hooking up all these devices through all those switches. I loved the video.

@JamesNintendoNerd 9 лет назад

Thanks! I hope you also enjoyed all my 1980's toys! =) -Mike

@Pegwarmers 9 лет назад

@Shipowy 9 лет назад

Cinemassacre Those toys where already cool, but you did a great job with painting them!

@robbieracer3294 9 лет назад

Cinemassacre you have any Boglins? I don't see people collecting those much. And the fact they are to find with the original boxes which..were actually their cages.

@tomodlin 9 лет назад

I would have used the two Radio shack switches as AV1 and AV2, then used the other branded one as the switch between them. It would look nicer.

@tomodlin 9 лет назад

You could also drill a hole in the side for the turbogfx cable. I'd probably do that too.

@Jamazon 9 лет назад

Tom Odlin yeah, that's a good idea

@tryplot 9 лет назад

Tom Odlin or just have the console sideways so the offending cable (and yes cables like those are offensive) is facing forwards.

@KhanGarth 9 лет назад

thats what i thought. my OCD wouldn't let me do it like he's doing. i would probably go even farther to try and put all the Nintendo systems on the same switch and all the Sega ones on the other. or as close to that type of thing as possible. though turning the Turbo Duo sideways wouldn't bother me at all. my OCD is just weird.

@tomodlin 9 лет назад

You can't turn it sideways! Are you crazy! Because then it wouldn't be facing forwards! Plus, it woild probably sit awkwardly and unbalanced on anything underneath it.

@almostalways 9 лет назад

I wonder what his electricity bills look like.

@DrJams 7 лет назад

Looks like he keeps them all on at the same time. House might burn down or something.

@Hawk_Eye_Retro 9 лет назад

Really nice setup, love the TV. The only downside to these AV switchers is that it doesn't appear that you have component or S-video connections - which I feel help out of a lot, especially on new HDTV's. Did you ever look into a really big receiver that would have a large amount of inputs?

@FruitySCB 9 лет назад

Wow, I can't believe I watched the whole 23 minutes. Very interesting setup you have there. If only, if only, the woodpecker sighed...

@DeegoL9 8 лет назад

Its just a shame, everythings connected by A/V cables or RF. Seriously Mike no component cables, RGB, or even S-video? Cmon man!

@FMMProductions 9 лет назад

Mike you should get hold of Ben Heckendorn (The Ben Heck Show on RU-vid). I'm sure he could make you a custom switcher with as many HDMI and Co-axial ports as you need. Plus itd be interesting to watch him make and programme something like that.

@JamesNintendoNerd 9 лет назад

Well, I don't know him. But if he's interested in doing such a thing, I could use it. Looking for 8 HDMI ports, 20 RCA ports and 4 coaxials. -Mike

@DomeCandyGames 9 лет назад

Cinemassacre It could definitely be a thing. He's always looking for random projects like that to broadcast on his show. He often does unusual and difficult portable conversions of consoles, so massive switchers would be a piece of cake.

@hectec69 9 лет назад

Cinemassacre hey man wouldn't the retron 5 relieve you of using the SNES news Sega system

@kampaclassic 9 лет назад

Cinemassacre ***** Might be an episode idea and would help with cross channel promotions. But I think it would have to have some new additional functionality to make a full episode. Possibly auto switching, or a connection to a home automation system so you can change it with an ap on the phone.

@FMMProductions 9 лет назад

@KhanGarth 9 лет назад

why not just turn the Turbo Duo sideways in the cubby?

@iTzMajman 9 лет назад

Looks ugly & i bet it will hang out from the shelf

@Jako1987 9 лет назад

I would drill a hole to the shelf for the cord. You just have to remember to unplug it before taking it out or in.

@KhanGarth 9 лет назад

Jako1987 yeah that too. having to pull it out to play it, i just simply wouldn't play it because of that.

@frizzykid100 9 лет назад

Jako1987 The only problem with that is if you were't paying attention and you or someone else pulled on it the wrong way the whole shelf could fall over and potentially break thousands of dollars worth of stuff.

@skrrskrr 9 лет назад

Well he could turn it sideways but then he would probably have to take it out to put in HuCARDS (Turbo Chips) if he wants to play one of those games.

@lintfordpickle 9 лет назад

Ben Kiley I'd never heard of it before this video, but the idea sounds good. Why is it shit, is there something really bad with it?

@sarowie 9 лет назад

John Hampson it is an emulator. Emulators aren´t perfect - when using emulators it makes more sense to straight load ROMs from an SD-Card. So? What niche is the Retron 5 filling? People that have original cards but would like to expire all issues of an emulator? Either real hardware all the way or ROM and emulator.

@BrickTamlandOfficial 9 лет назад

OUYA lol works for all these systems.

@reviewbuttdungeonusa259 9 лет назад

Brick Tamland I have to agree the ouya does work 100 times better than the retron 5.

@Fender178 9 лет назад

sarowie Not only that Hyperkin the company behind the Retron5 has stolen the code from actual emulators to get their system to work.

@joseagustincuesta 9 лет назад

Paul Badman I think you can mod them with S-video or something?

@PaulBadman 9 лет назад

Yeah im not good at that shit I was hoping he had some kind of trick i've tried everything I can make it look slightly better with an upscaler but it's not much I have my Genesis hooked up with RGB Scart and it looks pretty nice

@joseagustincuesta 9 лет назад

Paul Badman It could also be that he has "game mode" on, but don't quote me on that.

@PaulBadman 9 лет назад

Naw game mode just improves latency with controllers

@joseagustincuesta 9 лет назад

Paul Badman And also lag on the TV.

@Moving2Korea 9 лет назад

This is an insane collection! Nice setup man!

@miikasuominen3845 8 лет назад

You really should get better connectors to most of your old consoles. RGB is the word (and scart, which sadly Americans didn't have). So maybe an av-amp with as many as possible hdmi-inputs (I have Sony dtr-1040), rgb scart leads, scart to component (or hdmi) adapter (Framemeister for hdmi or some component adapter, which is cheaper. Cheap scart to hdmi adapters tend to be bad). I have 25 consoles...

@KL42596 9 лет назад

Wow this is insane. Everything is perfectly organized and all your retro consoles manage to looks good on your big ass TV. Whenever I try to play some PS2 or NES on my LCD it ends up looking like shit. btw, fuck yeah I didn't know you knew about Gex! it's a great game

@fat2slow 9 лет назад

is there any input lag?

@ApemanMonkey 9 лет назад

***** Game mode generally turns off the lag-inducing "image improvement" filters.

@JamesNintendoNerd 9 лет назад

Nothing seems to have any lag. Only my Wii U did, but ever since I turned "game mode" on, that's been fine. -Mike

@schwarzerritter5724 9 лет назад

fat2slow I use a Samsung television too, a much cheaper model though. No lag.

@Vadagarr 9 лет назад

fat2slow Even in game mode i have noticed that in games (F-Zero-GX in paticular) there is a slight lag. Where as CRT there is NONE!!! Which is why i prefer a CRT over LCD/Plasma TV''s. when it comes to that.

@Lewt_2B 9 лет назад

Vadagar HD TVs always lag when you use AV cables. ALWAYS, every single one of them, no matter if you run game mode or not its because the AV cable is too slow for the HDTV on a CRT this is not a problem thats also why smashbros melee tournaments are played on CRTs only

@TheOldSchoolGamer94 9 лет назад

I had the same trouble but I didn't have those switch boxes. I'd just plug in a console I wanna play and leave the rest unplugged. Might sound easy but it's still a pain, cause I always have to move the cords so they end up getting tangled up to each other.

@random_gamer_guy82 5 лет назад

@Cade_The_Squirrel 9 лет назад

@hypercynic 7 лет назад

Since nobody asked the most obvious fucking question here.... What are you using for the myriad of drawers for controllers and accessories, as well as the unit for the consoles? I am assuming the base under the TV is a Kallax shelf unit from Ikea? It seems to have the exact dimensions I would expect based on the fact that you have a 55" TV. Can you confirm this man? I have been considering building a setup in my basement with two of those Kallax shelves so each console can have its own spot. However....... I don't think the original Xbox or PS3 will fit based on their width, if it's upright as those units are meant to be. I was intending on using a Besta TV bench for my TV and Monitor as I will have my computer hooked up down there as well, and I ALWAYS use two monitors now. I can't go without dual monitors anymore... I was planning on getting the Besta unit to hold both a 28" 4K monitor with a 40 - 42" 4KTV side by side and the unit is 70" wide, so it will fit quite snug. However I have my monitors on an angle too so it is easier to look at both from the center. Anyways... I'd love to know what you are actually using here and if you can fit the original Xbox in there at the appropriate width... I am pretty positive it won't work and it makes me sad... because there is no original Xbox slim.... :/ Edit... Oops, I guess it's a 65" TV so maybe it isn't the same unit I was thinking it was there... Would still love to know what you bought. Definitely looks like an IKEA shelf unit...

@shedd45 6 лет назад

You hacked our election.

@sirareus 9 лет назад

Mike do yourself a favor and move up from composite video to at least S-video. I have a few of the same splitters I know your setup can handle it. Ultimately you would want the highest possible video output for each system via mods normally, but most old systems have a s-video cable that can be cheaply found on the internet. I recently moved six of my consoles up to s-video from composite video and found that the difference in video quality is more than worth the cost of a few cables. I know that video quality is important to you as you use your setup to capture videos for reviews. Cheers.

@RideRedRacer 9 лет назад

Vhaeroth always use RGB over everything. even S-video doesn't compare to RGB

@sirareus 9 лет назад

I agree but S-video is cheep and easy to implement.

@RideRedRacer 9 лет назад

true

@Dan-TechAndMusic 9 лет назад

RideRedRacer RGB is best, but there isn't a good connector for that in the US, unlike Europe's SCART. Sure, you can get SCART to HDMI, but it would rake up on costs quickly because all SCART stuff needs to be imported.

@RideRedRacer 9 лет назад

ya very true. im in America and I recently just set up everything with scart/hdmi with the framemeister xrgb mini. it was very expensive. I had my NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, and Dreamcast all modded or set up to be RGB. the picture quality is immaculate (besides N64) haha. I really enjoy playing them looking like this.

@caligoclarus 9 лет назад

As OCD as I am about wires, that setup would drive me nuts. But I love seeing how other people do it. You never know what ideas you can come up with to improve. I love how you have your controllers stored. I'm going to getting some of those shelves to do the same.

@rangerreview1780 9 лет назад

Mike. You should of gone with the AV Famicom. It's the NES top loader. Since it's the NES top loader. The controllers are the same as the US NES. You wouldn't have to have the Fami or the FDS on your coffee table anymore. And you would of had RCA for it. That's why I purchased it myself.

This will help me out a lot when I'm hooking my stuff up, a PS4, PS3, Atari Flashback 2 (modded to also play cartridges), Atari 2600, FC 3 Plus (plays NES, Sega Genesis, and Super Nintendo and Super Famicom if modded) and an N64.

Finally the one time I get to rag on you guys! Mike, please purchase a VGA box for your Dreamcast. It brings out the best quality of the system and it will save you some much needed av ports. I would be willing to bet that your TV has a VGA port on the back since most modern TV's do.

@ShoZama85 9 лет назад

Mr__Pickle Just noticed 4K TVs don't always have VGA in.

It would be funny if mike switched hdmi and porn was playing

@BlockABoots 9 лет назад

You can use a HDMI Martix, i have one that has 2 outputs and 6 inputs would solve your issue. Plus you should really get a XRGB-mini Mike for your real hardware and get RGB Scart connections for the best possible picture quality

@captainkarlsberg 9 лет назад

Ugh, AV-Component (RCA) Quality delivers terrible picture quality and all those splitters just make it worse. Please at least use S-Video on the system that support it (SNES,N64...) Gamecube can even use YUV.

@SouthwestChief 9 лет назад

Nice setup. But you should rename your TV HDMI inputs. Would make a nice setup even better. That is if your Samsung TV has this option.

@SouthwestChief 9 лет назад

Doing some quick research, I'm not sure if your TV can do this. I have a Sony TV and it is nice that you can rename the HDMI inputs to anything you want. But I've read that some Samsung TVs only let you change HDMI inputs to preset names; Satellite, DVD, etc...If so that kind of sucks.

The AVGN game seemed like it sold really well when I looked at the eShop. Sold a lot better than Yoshi's Island DS... which is understandable since that game isn't really that amazing

You wouldn't need lights in there... I bet that room hums and glows with all those consoles on its own lol.

Mike, what kind of console stand do you use in that vieo and where I can get one? I am in wire hell...

@TheRebeloftheRebellion 8 лет назад

Thanks Mike! This is really helpful for someone like me who has 12 consoles and not a very good setup.

@jimmyeddy 9 лет назад

I have 14 consoles and a vcr hooked up to 1 TV set. I have two five way switches and two four way switches. I also have two outputs (one to the TV and one to a capture device) it's actually a rather simple setup but hooking it up was an ass

@danxepha4535 9 лет назад

Cinemassacre Does your TV have a VGA input? If so you could use it to connect your Sega Dreamcast up with the DC VGA adaptor. It'll give you the best possible picture you can get from the console :-)

@bennahum9642 9 лет назад

A few tips for your setup, just stuff I would do: 1. The Dreamcast supports VGA out without any mods, if you do have a VGA input on your TV thingy you should use that instead. Quality will be better as well. 2. MOD your Turbo Duo for RCA out in the back (easy mod) and then it will fit the cubicle. 3. I know you probably are aware of this by now but moving to RGB in at least SOME of the consoles you own would do wonders to the quality, contact me if you need some more info on that. 4. You could also get rid of many power adapters if you are willing to try a universal solution. Using so many power adapters is both unhealthy and unaesthetic, contact me if you need some more info on that too. Love your channel guys, thanks for many years of laughs.

Think I'd have a mental breakdown trying to hook all that up. 0_0 Well done Mike, you certainly have more will to do this then I would. XD

@ErixsonGaming 5 лет назад

laprasking Well you just need to memorize it and know how it works.

@rexthesheep 9 лет назад

I have the Jungle Green N64 too! I recently bought an AV switch for my bedroom so I've got my Wii, GC, N64 and PS2/PS1 hooked up to my old CRT, with my Wii U and Xbox 360 hooked up at my desk to my monitor with my gaming PC and HD capture device. Works pretty well for me, but I don't have any other systems other than a few different PS1/2 models.

@IgnatiusAlpha 9 лет назад

Still watching the video, but please tell me you don't use the Xbox 360 with the N64 on top of it like that since you're completely blocking the 360's fan that way. Edit: Oh God, move the N64 and don't put anything on top of the 360. I can hear the poor thing gasping for air.

@2112dorf 9 лет назад

Where can I get the 5200 controller adapter? Would the 7800 joystick work, because didn't the 7800 have games that use 2 buttons? Using a gamepad is cool, but I'd much rather use a joystick...thanks!! Would a 2600 joystick work for games Needing only 1 button??

@Musicradio77Network 9 лет назад

Nice setup! I have all the setup that I have including my PS3, PS2 and NES. I used my Mac to play games on any of the emulators including OpenEmu. I have my stereo setup including a receiver, two amplifiers, a cassette deck, a reel-to-reel deck and an 8-track tape deck. I have a few gaming consoles at home.

@Viperr101 9 лет назад

I know this video is a few months old now, but you can modify the HDMI labels on Samsung TV's by holding the options or select button after changing the input and name all of them to their respective systems. You can also pick standard devices like Blu-Ray or Game mode, but those actually change the video settings.

@JoshKall 9 лет назад

Something I do to save a few wires is use the same cables for multiple consoles. Like the SNES, 64 and Gamecube all use the same AV cables. Australian NES and SNES use the exact same power adaptor. PS1 and PS2 use the same AV multi out.

@UndeadCollector 9 лет назад

it's nice to see that all that stuff works (i have plugged in about 7 different consoles on my HDTV and a old TV for the Retro Consoles) but the Video is way over the top. It's not like ppl will not trust you that your consoles works with all that cables^^ The Samsung Box for all the different Cables are awesome, didn't see that before.

@ilcool90 9 лет назад

Luckily I only have 5 retro consoles ( PS1, Dreamcast, N64, Gamecube, Xbox ). All off them are connected through RGB scart through 5x scart splitter.

@Musicradio77Network 9 лет назад

I saw one at a yard sale last week which was a Philips 4-way splitter where you can switch your consoles, but sadly, it has an AC adapter on there. What a shame! Like he said in an AVGN episode on the Sega CD and the 32X, it's a waste of AC adapters and it had a huge box.
