Hello all. I really want to start setting up my game room. Do you guys use or know of a nice way to "switch" between classic consoles? I have HDMI switched for my new stuff and would like something similar. If you have personal experience or suggestions that would be awesome!
Thanks!

That really depends on the system. For composite or S-video I like the Pelican video switches that are kind of styled after the PS2. There are some retro systems that I prefer to use RGB and convert to component. That required the use of SCART cables, a converter, and a GOOD SCART switch. Then for some consoles you might need a component switch.
What systems do you need to hook up?

I use something similar to these:

Works great, and no power supply is a nice touch for me (it's getting crowded in my living room).

Basically I am setting up old PC-Engine , Neo Geo AES , Nintendo NES and SNES. Maybe some older stuff also like Colecovision.

You could do the ever so wonderful daisy chaining rf switches. ^_^
