2011: Gaming Setup Tour: 25 systems all hooked up and ready to play

[@HowToX]

See what this setup looks like in 2022 on my other channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZuudZKYjqyUpsk

[@chicagotransitauthority3161]

You actually brought the videos back. This makes me happy. I wanted all the videos you created in one playlist, so this is great to see again. Kudos Kevin

[@noemedmedia]

I would like to suggest that you make a playlist (on this channel) with JUST the "Game Room" videos. It's just a bit cumbersome to skip the game reviews on the current playlist..I have done it though, watched all the room videoes "manually" ,and it was just so much FUN to watch the progress in system size and KZbin skill grow. Remember, even if 2022-Kevin thinks the above video is "cringe" - 99% av those of us with old consoles do not have even 25 connected, or a single video published. Even the old videos are inspiring. I think such a playlist would also be interesting to have on the main retro channel, somehow.

[@WeAreN1nja]

This isn't a "OMG, look at all my PS3 gamez" collection, it's more of" I love and respect this hobby" collection. INFINITE props...

[@jreguniverse2203]

please never remove this video, i love going back to it as a holy grail for where my game setup journey, hell if you reupload the forgotten part 2 that went with this video ill donate a cool hundy

[@HowToX]

Thanks for commenting. I don't think there has been any deleted game room tours. I do them every two years. Including one a month ago on my new channel.

[@McLovin_2007]

There is something I like about these old collection video's from the first few years of KZbin. The lighting quality is not so good, but there is a charm to them.

[@retrovision7218]

It's always a cool experience going back in the video timeline

[@roman_nfkrz]

yeah, I deleted that because I got to that moment when you talk bout extension cables.

[@thesaskatchewankid]

Finally found your video again! I love how streamlined everything is in this setup. It's actually what inspired me to set up my game room (with not nearly as many sweet consoles as you) in a similar manner. I like seeing people's game room tour, but too often they have random crap and figurines and such cluttering up their shelves. I like that yours is all about the consoles. It's like a museum display. Can't wait for the update video!

[@HowToX]

Thank you. I do have other video game items in the room, but never felt like sharing them. Just a bunch of games and accessories.

[@SoLinkSmash]

I always love going back to this video and looking at this amazing setup you have. I would love to try out all those consoles you have. Definitely looking forward to your long-awaited update!

[@Zerlono1]

if I walked in a friends house when I was like 10 years old and saw this setup I would literally blast a dookie in my trousers in excitement, even as an adult this is pretty awesome to say the least

[@MrGoldenwheels]

One of the best set ups I have ever seen. Clean and utilitarian. And you have an Atari XE hooked up for gods sakes. Beautiful.

[@ArtistCameron]

The great thing about youtube is we get to see lots of interesting stuff. I'll definitively check back your channel in the times to come. Best regards.

[@harlan1]

Sick setup.Major props.

[@jamesslaten2949]

Man, that's actually pretty badass, I wish I kept all of my gaming consoles, my first one was atari....jungle hunt and pole position were my favorite games

[@AdventureswithFritz]

Cable management is one of the best parts of the set up. It looks organized bundled together like a nervous system.

[@drunkenpolack]

Looks great man. I just started collecting again and was looking for a nice way to set everything up. Finally won an auction for top loading NES and picked up Mini SNES. This stuff isn't junk. It's my childhood =)

[@DjStiv3]

you been collecting since forever and grew up with lots of games and collected many consoles he obviously means you were very fortunate to do so

[@veggav]

I'm really thankful for the tips you gave me in the forum. It's because of your set-up that mine is working so well :) One thing I really would like to see in a next video would be you telling the name of each console. There are some intelivision like that I really don't know the name.

[@freezermonkey]

only issue I see is playing the consoles above the tv looks like the cords would get in way of tv

[@Dazercade]

Very nice set-up. I am collecting systems now to do the same thing. I wasn't sure how to connect them all, but with this video I now do. Thanks.

[@cheesystick1]

I got the link from the DP boards and now I'm a happy subscriber. Great stuff!

[@StylexSai]

First of all. Thank you for showing us such a great collection of consoles. I personally just collect consoles 1990 and up. Also, a neat trick my friend and I to solve our ac adapter plug issue was to use a small thin strip of black tape to thicken the circumference of the ac adapter. This way it will perfectly fit in to the system w/o the ac adapter becoming loose. Hope this helps! Cheers.

[@ManFromTheFizz]

00:59 INGENIOUS; I would always pay admission for any events you might hold in that station!!!

[@SuperNintendoZach]

You ability to hide wires is amazing I am so OCD with set ups but this one is awesome

[@ManFromTheFizz]

How about encasing everything in glass walls, to prevent dust buildup?

[@jongauthier8846]

even though it's not the best video/audio quality. it's still the most impressive setup i personally have ever seen.

[@ilj1259]

A wall to cover up your wires. Thanks for your advice on the Pelican switch box and Power outlet... this saves a lot of time when setting up multiple game systems.

[@Infinityxxxxxx]

Simply flawless, as of that of a thoroughly examined Diamond deemed peerless. Ohhhh, how I WANT it!

[@TimeSplitterChimp]

How do you play them with wired controllers if they are not being moved, the top shelf ect...

[@HowToX]

Not sure what you mean. The controller cords are tucked into the trays, so when I go to play them, I just untuck the cords. That goes for every system in the top row.

[@adrastos2]

I believe he means while you are playing on any of the Top-Center shelf Consoles, that while you are playing, the cords will be dangling in front of the TV.

[@HowToX]

adrastos2 After the video was posted I added a couple of hooks that guide the Dreamcast and Jaguar cords around the TV, so they don't get in the way.

[@adrastos2]

Cool beans. Nice not having Cords in your way while playing Crazy Taxi =)

[@Fairlane500skyliner]

I'm not much of a gamer, but that is truly amazing! Awesome work!

[@RicardoR5]

i truly envy you, great setup, and the way the systems are displayed is great too. good job

[@Orrimarrko66]

Still love the setup! Very good points you make, but the biggest is the simplicity of turning things on. You don't have to spend time trying to figure out what switch does what, or if this is plugged in, etc. Great ideas!

[@tallpauldevaul6142]

I didn't know there were so many different consoles out there. I am happy with my PlayStation. Thanks for sharing. Game on.

[@OGHUGO]

Yes that was what everyone thought about the 32x, but it's been done. Also the saturn s-video cables are like $20-$40 bucks when i was looking for them they were hard to find.. So what I do is put the jacks right in the back and tap in to the connector from the bottom of the saturn that way people can use big thick wires to get good video out of it. Also do the region switch on them. But yeah let me know if you are interested in getting yours modded.

[@doctorwhofan290]

This is a masterpiece

[@naturegirlkat]

@GamingTheSystems yes talking about black shelving. i used to work at home depot in florida. we sold them there. it's cool i understand the misunderstanding. i wasn't very specific in the last post.

[@DjKoraima]

Wow. I think this is beautiful.. :)

[@xanderskullion]

This is an awesome set up man kudos to your collection!

[@LacedBacon]

Awesome job man, i'm looking to do something similar and I was needing ideas for shelving and cable hookups.Thanks bro.

[@AdventureswithFritz]

I'm looking forward to seeing the new set up.

[@FlintG]

So beautiful. I wish I had that setup.

[@aljr357]

i love your setup and im now looking to build one similar to yours as im up to 17consoles now and getting more soon. i also have 8 handhelds and 5 of them need to be charged so ill be able to use the extra spots on the power bars for that. thank-you for this post. im looking for the other ones you did that are more indepth so i can find out what ill need to build my setup . ive seen it before but now i actually need to build one like it where as i didnt have as many consoles the first time i watched the videos.

[@sofasniperman]

allan fulton I have 13 so far

[@loco_Fox]

got to love shinobi 2's music in the background ! awesome man!

[@ArtistCameron]

Blew me away this room you have. Impressive.

[@KiDSON.]

Retro gaming on regular TVs is amazing. It didn't feel the same playing on a 42 inch flatscreen...

[@Vorgrimmler1]

So if you want to play the one on the top right shelf youll have to dangle the controllers and put chairs near their and look at the tv from the side

[@yogi291]

That's an amazing setup. Looks like you put a lot of thought and time into it.

[@BITPLAKIS]

Great setup!

[@Jord9622]

Great to hear man!!!! Can't wait!!!!

[@JokerXDHaHaHa]

Great collection! The Famicom works like the Odyssey 2 you got. You have to pull it out like that because of short cords, but it has great Japanese exclusives like King Kong 2.

[@Lazyhoboguy]

0:48 Hmm, think I am hearing some revenge of shinobi music? You are a console setting up god. Im the guy from digitpress. My shelving is very similar to yours, so thinking the rack mount power supply things will fit well on the top of my shelving like yours do. Found that item on amazon, they have a teeny tiny picture, so you cant realize how wide those things are ha. Your video helped me visualize them better. Eventually when I get my consoles setup, I'll post a video on my channel about it.

[@redfieldTnT]

Nice for an older setup great work.

[@Jord9622]

Eager to see the new setup, do you have a more definitive ETA now? Other than the end of the year? Super excited!!!! I love your design, it's the best one on KZbin by far!!!!!

[@lucasstevenson2958]

this is pretty sweet, i hope you will eventually do a video like this for your modern gaming setup. gonna try this idea myself... my mega drive is feeling a little dusty

[@LeynosJehuty]

Collectors often use CRT's for retro consoles and makes the games look fantastic. Personally I go with a Sony Wega Trinitron. I like that better than the bubble myself.

[@itsazce]

Woah.. I wonder how your childhood was like haha. Amazing setup bro :)

[@RogueCrockett]

Dude this is just pure awesomeness!!

[@danmac0]

Retro systems, Retro camera. You gotta be consistent. :D

[@DecimateZ]

You my friend are the biggest geek ever!....that's not an insult though, I love it lol. Awsome setup and collection!

[@pitt41]

nice set up. can tell you put alot of planning and work into it.

[@Xomby]

uh... how the hell do you keep them all dust free?

[@hygiene76]

Nice OCD setup sir,and a crt to enjoy those retro systems on,it must be hard deciding what to play with all these systems though,i struggle what to play on 5 retro systems :)

[@jongauthier8846]

home depot, lowes, office depot, ect carries the "trays". just cheap snap-together tower shelving. i know i am not the publisher of the video. just have the same shelving here in my garage.

[@ilj1259]

maybe you could build a wall with the left over "redi made" shelf parts. That might look cool. you might have to screw them together so that they don't fall apart, could make an interesting project.

[@KingKehra]

Beautifully clean setup.

[@Lonegraywolf75]

Just wanted to say hello Gaming. I feel that console and pc gaming has had a major impact in my life as a youth until present date. But I have never seen such a well designed and thought out setup like yours. Just curious do you braid your cables in the back with cable management? It looks very nice and I would not have the capacity to build something of this magnitude and have it look so clean and organized. Great Job! :)

[@benjokazooie3178]

The sega megadrive (genesis) is capable of rgb through scart. It would require you to find better cables and adapters but it doesn't require any modification. Also the 32x uses the same output as the model 2 so why not just use your s video cable on that. It won't degrade the signal. S video can only carry the s video signal. The same as composite can only carry the composite signal. That's where scart is far superior. It can carry s video, composite and true rgb signal. It's unfortunate that it wasn't released outside of Europe to any degree.

[@noahburt2400]

Lots of fine pieces of Jonk.

[@digipimp75]

sweet setup, man. excellent use of space too!

[@Hogo69]

Sweet set up. If I had a game room and more $$ I'd probably do something similar. CRT tv's ftw ! I still have a few old systems and keep a CRT just for this.

[@AdventureswithFritz]

I understand this. I have a modded wii with all of the retro games, but I still prefer my SNES and NES. Something about the old school system takes me back. It just feels right.

[@PricelessTheKing1]

Ok so where does my Vectrex go lol... Thanks man for posting this I just saw this years later and imma use this to hookup all my systems hopefully I dont catch my house on fire

[@sofasniperman]

Joshua Einsele ikr

[@TarttelinGamer]

This is a dream come true!

[@DrStrife]

wow crazy setup, id like to see how you did it. I'm just worried about the expense. I got around 17 older systems i can hook up and a floor tv. I subbed nice setup you got

[@eldenc]

What if you want to pop in a SegaCD 32X game?

[@vorkev1]

whats nice is videogame companeys are talking about going back to the old ways of chips in carts and modified memory cards like in the sega master system

[@checkmoney9891]

Amazing collection!

[@controvertofnecessity2972]

any way to hook up to a 80 inch modern t.v.

[@HermidaTech]

I love your input organization so amazing

[@xanderskullion]

Ahhh I'm watching it now. Thanks man those trays are a great idea!

[@OGHUGO]

Great setup, I noticed you talked about the svideo out of your genesis. I modded my own, but since then i got the RGB cable and hooked it up to an upscaler to hook up to an hd crt. looks amazing way better than svideo. look in to it and check it out.

[@moonlitcypress]

i have died and gone to heaven for 8 min and 45 seconds ty ... omg now i can spoil my husband when i set his man cave up

[@AdventureswithFritz]

How about a video tour of your game collection? The consoles are awesome, but I'm curious to see all of your games for the different systems and how you display them.

[@AdiSneakerFreak]

Thought of adding Amiga CD32?

[@garrettfreeman7721]

Awesome I wish I had that

[@espdemon]

Dude.. kudos man, dope setup.

[@imayjustsay]

Background music: Revenge of Shinobi (Sega Megadrive)

[@MrTatsubei]

How do you play the system farthest away from the TV? It seems like you have to play the game awkwardly if the controller doesn't reach the front of the TV.

[@digipimp75]

excellent setup man! Good stuff!

[@Brotherdave1988]

Question: I can't find ready shelves on amazon or staples for some reason. I was thinking about using those metal paper holders that they sell at Wal-Mart and turn them upside down. Would that work?

[@TheLEDscientist]

This looks cool, you could put something behind the systems so that even the cables aren't visible...

[@jorlando21480]

Hey man. Beautiful collection! Where did you get the trays that you have systems sitting on? I've been looking for something like those and these seem perfect.

[@goveeuh]

what do you do if you wanna play with the super scope (snes) and the power glove (nes) ?

[@LKerslake]

What tv should I buy to be able to play these consoles on

[@SNESKegaGamer]

I love the setup. I need a CRT with an S-Video port. Mine doen't have an S-Video port and It only does mono sound but My SNES and N64 sound go through my PC surround sound speakers. everything else has to use the TV speakers. It's cool to see some rare consoles that not many people know of and the Genesis controllers on the 2600. I my self love using my 6 button Genesis controller on my 2600 but It sits in my Genesis when I'm not playing the Atari.

[@theultimateninja]

hey, no lie, we have just about the same game set up with all the power strip switch things and extension cables. but i only have like 6 consoles and they're on smaller rack with wheels so i can roll them around to different tvs. (to play light gun games)

[@ClassicGamer81]

That is a very impressive setup. Puts mine to shame...

[@jorlando21480]

Sorry. I just saw your other video. I can't seem to find the redi-shelves online though. Any idea where I might be able to score some?

[@videogameobsession]

Nice setup man! Metal racks do make the best choice for connecting multiple systems as they allow perfect air flow and keep all your systems happy. Don't mind the stupid comments such as "Hey your TV sucks @*&#%$!!" I've been getting those since 2004 and they never stop! I also tried putting the reason in my description, but they never read that *sigh*.. This is pretty much how I would have my setup. I've had to downsize when we moved into an apartment. Some day I'll get it going again...

[@RegalBumper12]

oh hey, this was uploaded on my birthday

[@BoxcarWillie42]

nicely organized. I'm sure controller extension cords must be used for some system. Awesome job though!
