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!
Bedroom tv - Xbox One S
Downstairs tv - PS2, Xbox, Wii, 360
The OG Xbox takes care of all old cartridge based systems.
All of them.

I have a NES in my tv, and then the others are sync on green modded PSX, SNES, NES (2nd one), PS3..
I should have more but I don't have the Extron switcher quite configured how I want it to be
Just... WOW. Man, you’ve got your organization skills down to a science! This is the ideal setup I hope to achieve one day. Everything out and ready to play while still maintaining a sleek, clutter-free aesthetic. Seriously well done 👍
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...
HDMI: Top Loader NES w/HiDefNES kit, (black)Super NT, N64 w/UltraHDMI kit, Gamecube+GB Player w/ext GC2HDMI kit, Nintendo Switch, NES and SNES Classic Edition, and PS3 or 4 for movies only.
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
PS4 and Wii U on the big tv
RGB modded PSX on the PVM
Living Room: N64, Switch
Kitchen: N/A
Playroom: Xbox One, PS2 And PS4
Mom And Dad's Room: N/A
Ryan's Room: N/A
My Room: Wii U And Wii
SNES and PS2
I've got 2 TVs in my room.
On my HDTV:
- Wii U
- PS3
On my CRT:

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.
Let's see here...
NES/SNES Classics
Wii
PS3
3DO
Other consoles that are around, but not actually connected:
N64
PS Classic
C64 Mini
Currently, I have the following setup:
- Living Room -
1) Nintendo Wii
2) Nintendo Switch TV Dock Mode
3) Playstation 2 Slim
- Entertainment Room -
1) Nintendo 64
2) SNES
3) Genesis
4) NES
5) Dreamcast
6) Saturn
7) PS3
8) PS4
I recently updated the Entertainment Room as the last time I did so was back in 2011 Now, it has a more modern, clean look :3
