Howdy.

I set up all of my old game consoles for fun, and feel like there must be a better way. I have an NES on the antenna connector (RG6?), about eight consoles on composite (Y/R/W), and four or five on HDMI. I still have my old school Composite switch, but I need more inputs, and it would be nice to be able to use the TV remote instead of getting my old bones up. My TV has two or three HDMI ports but I need a few more.

Do I just need an RF adapter, a bigger Composite switch, and some kind of HDMI switch, or is there another option I’m not thinking of?

Thanks!

      I love the idea but god DAMN are they expensive. The controller module, 4 inputs, 1 output, and the remote brings you to $217 before tax. That’s not even half as large as I’d want and at least 50% more than I’d want to pay

        Yeah, I’m looking at connecting 12 machines?

        Genesis/CD/32X
        Saturn
        Dreamcast

        Turbo Duo

        Gamecube
        Wii

        Playstation
        PS2
        PS3

        Xbox
        Xbox 360
        Xbox One

        Doing the math…

        Control Unit - $40
        Remote - $12
        Composite/Svideo - $30x8 Component - $35x4

        Output - Composite. - $25
        Output - Component. - $25

        $482.

        You know what, fine… VGA In - $25 (*2?)
        VGA Out - $35

        $567.
