    Default What game systems are hooked up to your TV right now?

    For my main TV I have my SNES, PS2, and Xbox hooked up. On my CRT I just have the NES hooked up at the moment.

    My PS4 might be my only fully hooked up console at the moment (which sees way more use for watching TV shows than playing games). I had my SNES hooked up to one CRT, but we moved it to another TV when we had a friend over. recently. We then moved it back, but I haven't hooked it up again yet. The consolized MVS and Genesis are with the bigger CRT, but I'm not sure if either are actually plugged in. Got some other systems out and about but definitely aren't hooked up.

    Back in the day, I used to be all about having every one of my systems hooked up and ready to go, but that would just waste electricity, collect dust, and get confusing with so many cables. Now I much prefer to keep things packed away, organized, and clean when not in use.

    Heh - a whole slew:

    PS1
    PS1 (Japanese)
    Sega Genesis/CD (and base converter for SMS)
    Jaguar with CD
    Gamecube (with gameboy player)
    SNES (with converter for famicom/nes/superfamicom)
    Dreamcast
    PCFX
    Saturn
    Laseractive (with all four game pacs - so I can do Turbo and PC Engine games from US and Japan - also Japanese megadrive and sega cd games)

    Plus a few other systems not hooked up.
    When I come home from a long day in Hell, there's nothing I'd rather reach for than a fire-brewed bottle of Styx Beer. Made from the filthiest waters from our own River Styx. Styx Beer is a third more toxic than any other regular beer. The worst beer - the filthiest beer - the deadliest beer. It's Styx Beer!

    As for what I currently have hooked up, it’s most of everything I own between four different displays in two different rooms:

    Living room: 39” LED flatscreen with a RetroFreak, PS4, XB1, PS3 Slim, Xbox 360 slim, and Wii-U.

    Bedroom. Here’s where it gets interesting... another flatscreen with a BC fat PS3, extra 360 slim, and a Retron 5 hooked up via HDMI. I also have a 20” Sony PVM which handles the original Xbox, PS2, Gamecube, Wii, N64, Super NES, Master System, Dreamcast, Saturn, Genesis w/Sega CD & 32X, Jaguar, and 3DO. And finally, I have a 27” Sony Trinitron for the RF-only systems: NES top loader, Atari 2600, ColecoVision, and TurboGrafx.

    Everything is plugged into a power strip and wired into a system selector and is ready to go in seconds! I’ve tried the store it away and hook it up when I feel the urge to play it method, but I found myself never wanting to go through the hassle of setting it up and breaking it back down again. So consequently, I never really got to appreciate having all these systems. So having them all hooked up is the best option for me, but it’s not for everyone because it does eat up a lot of space.
    Death to Videodrome! Long live the new flesh!

    tl;dr version, stuff in bold is actually hooked up, the rest is just stuff I have

    Upstairs, 40" Samsung 1080p: Original Xbox, 360 (falcon), PS3 (slim), PS4 (2nd model, with "matte" HDD compartment), Switch, and with one quick hdmi cord switch Wii U (though with the gamepad, don't even technically need it "hooked up" for most uses).

    Could easily get a PS2 (v4, but with a replaced laser), PS2 slim (90000), PS one, NES, Wii (with gc bc), or Dreamcast (with VGA box) up and running without much fuss. Slightly more hassle to get hooked up, but in the room nearby, Genesis (model 1) with SegaCD (also model 1), Genesis model 2, a 32x (but that might be in a box on another floor), a Turbografx with Turbo CD (replaced the drive portion at some point, but the "dock" is the same one I always had), a yellowed top half SNES (launch era), Saturn model 1, n64, Gamecube (black, has digital port, but I hever had a component cable) PSX (early model with composite jacks)

    Downstairs, 30" RCA 720p: an Atari Flashback (8 I think? from last year anyway, but not the hdmi version, just the basic bitch version) and a Retropie (model 3 board) that makes me want to set it on fire and throw it in a dumpster it's so user unfriendly (and don't look for help online, bunch of insufferable pricks seem to run that scene).

    Also downstairs, have a 'new' 3DS xl ("galaxy" version), "old" 3DS xl (blue), PSP 2000 (silver), GBASP (frontlit, gold but not Zelda version, it was a TRU exclusive one black friday), and original DS (in original sliver) sitting nearby, usually charged up and ready to go.

    Just to be complete... Somewhere I have a beatup old original Gameboy (from 1989) in drawer, and in boxes somewhere else an old GBA (solid purple), GameGear (real sega, not majesco), and Lynx, and Intellivision and Colecovision Flashbacks (not special versions with extra shit, just basic ones)

    I think that's it...

    RCA: Core Grafx II, and random tv games type devices when I use them only (and NES and SNES if I unbox them.)

    Wow! I just logged in again for the first time in about a decade lol. Glad I could remember my password. Right now I have a PS3, 360 and PS2 slim hooked up as well as a Dreamcast. Lots of others that aren't plugged in right now of course....

    Living room:
    - Nvidia Shield (got the whole "Geforce Now" cloud streaming and Retroarch emulation things going on. Works with XBOX 360 controllers if you're into that.)
    - NES / NES classic (Have become more of a visual statement than actual play)
    - Nintendo Switch

    Family room:
    - Wii U

    I've got 2 TVs in my room.

    On my HDTV:
    - Wii U
    - PS3

    On my CRT:
    - Famicom
    - N64
    - Gamecube
    - PS2

    I used to have more modern stuff like PS4 and Switch, but the games are too expensive and not as much the type I enjoy anymore, so I gave up and sold them for now.

    I plan on eventually getting more old consoles, like a Famicom Disk System, Genesis, SNES, Dreamcast, and maybe even a PC-Engine. So, that list will probably grow.
