Title: How do you hook up your old systems?
Post by: Tupin on October 13, 2008, 01:59:21 PM
I keep all of my old systems in my room, hooked up to a TV that has tons of AV ports. It only has one RF port, which used to be used by the Genesis, but now it's not in use because I found an AV cable for that. My 7800 can't be used in my room, it really doesn't like flatscreen TVs.

I have only one hooked up at a time, and ones I am not currently using ready to be plugged in when I want to play them

Usually just the standard A/V ports. I used to have to use RF, though. THAT sucked. >_>

I'm thinking about getting my 7800 modded so it can use AV ports.

Well for multiple RFs you can always use a switcher.

All systems are connected to my TV simultaneously.

It only has one input and output Video/Audio port so I have to use these little niche wires to connect the Audio wires from all systems into a single wire and ditto with Video wires.

I'm certain one day my TV, VCR, DVD player, Wii, and N64 will all merge together into single machine turn my brain into a makeshift CPU and go on all killing spree that will only end by John Conner's hands.

I switch off the cables when I want to play a console.  They're lined up under my TV and all plugged in, all the time.

Yeah, I have an AV system selector too.

I switch AV cables depending on what system I want to play, but for all of them I use AV.
Funny story, the old singular cable for audio/visual on my SNES broke years ago so I thought it was broken. I was looking online for a replacement and I saw an AV cable that said it worked for the SNES, N64 and Cube...
I was like WTF CUBE!? So I took my cube's AV cable and it worked with the SNES...isn't that something? XD

Yeah, that is pretty cool.

Nintendo moved onto another proprietary AV plug because the SNES/N64/GCN one would have taken up to much space in the Wii.
