How to HDMI your Retro Game Room (and tour)!
I can appreciate what you have done here but I am not looking at modding anything. I guess you can't play these things on a new TV the way they were supposed to be played. Or can they?
There's probably no need since you have upscale mods, but would a RetroTINK-4K work well with the switcher?
@@anongrizzly5760 I got one and can confirm the switcher works perfectly with the Retrotink4k
Whats the model number of that Denon receiver?
@@simonh9806 AVR-S530BT
also you can jail break the ps3 super slim too play ps2 games i jail broken my ps3 slim too play ps2 games
That is a pretty sweet setup......
Which model is the Denon receiver ?
AVR-S530BT. It's about 8 years old at this point. It was the cheapest receiver I could find with HDCP 2.2 inputs at the time.
I wish to be able to pip watch my old console on my new console so I can stay in party chat and play my ps2
Do you still own the ps3? If so, are you willing to sell it?
I still have it. Hit me up on Twitter @danjohnson505
The cables x.x
Yeah, I know. Every time I make it look pretty, I end up ripping it all apart to change something. I just don't bother any more.
Such a waste using a modern TV.
Why would you even watch a video about HDMI modding consoles if you are so committed to CRTs?
what hdmi switcher is that plz
www.tesmart.com/collections/hdmi-switch/products/hsw1601-e23
Can’t make your game a bit bigger? Black bars are irritating
What TV ar you using
Currently using a LG C2. There is an update to this video on the channel.
fast forward 2 years and now our hdmi modded consoles need a 4k scaler lol
I picked up the retrotink4k a few months ago. Loving it so far
Love yourgaming setup😮😮
My console mods are pretty boring...just replaced the cartridge slots so Japanese cartridges can fit in a Super Nintendo Jr and a Nintendo 64, I have an S video modded Sega Genesis model 1 (I have a CRT in my setup and even if I do eventually get a scaler it's still very usable)
Everybody started somewhere. Keep it going!
I really like my Hisense Roku TV, smart TVs sucked a few years ago, not anymore!
I picked up an LG C2 since this video was made. Theres a a room update vid on my channel.
@@schweatty I see, and clear shells for almost all your consoles too
subscribed :D
Avgn did simply not have this in 2006. Poor James Rolfe. 😂
Nice and clean setup mate! Definitely a fan of more of these cleaner setups without plushies and toys all over th place.
Your comment = "I like men, but with more steps".
Also composite sucks
But you are still not able to run Gran Turismo 4 on your ps2 in 1080i, since you need more than just HDMI adapter
Retrotink 4k is gonna fix that. Coming soon...
@@schweatty damn, thats 750 usd Anyways, your console shelf looks amazing)
Where did you buy those clear shells😊
Most of them came from retro game restore. The dreamcast shell came from muramasa. The gamecube shell came from good ole aliexpress
Well it’s been almost 2.5 years again where’s the next tour
It's up, brother! And I even admit it right off the jump
i noticed a lack of rom carts, they're very expensive though. the gamecube silent fan mods are funny, i got both the noctua and the other one with the blue fan, both are still loud. just no way around that given the lack of space to install a thicker fan. interested to see what you did for the nes, i'll go look it up. nice setup, simple'ish and effective.
You should check out my most recent video. The NES got a complete overhaul since this video was made
Thanks, this is a really helpful video, but I'm wondering about that component video switcher. Can you give more information about it or where to find it?
It was made by psyclone in the early 00's. It isn't produced any more. I dont know much about it really. If you want a new component switch, there are cheap mechanical ones that don't introduce any lag. I used to use one. They are available on amazon
You'll never forget you left a game in your NES lol. Clear cases are inspiring. Makes me want to do it, but not really, so much work involved.
For me, the work is the fun
@@schweattyI respect that. Ive got 10 consoles myself and came across your channel. Given me a few idea's on how to hook it all up to one tv
@ibapreppie stay tuned. Future video: when the retrotink 4k comes out, I'm definitely getting it. Everything in the room (except the ps5) will be running through it including 2 laserdisc players
I love the clear cases, I would like to try it out in the future, I repair and take apart consoles so it shouldn’t be too hard to do, just that I would like that keep an original oem console and then have a double to add a clear shell hah, idk I think I just enjoy how it came from factory and the nostalgia it brings, I want the best of both worlds lol, awesome set up.
I’ll like to in the future add the ghost case I love the og xbox, did you just got the top shell of it or you also got the bottom? I noticed they were selling just the top for a good amount of cash though 😬
Great setup! how do you deal with cleaning all those consoles tho , i cant imagine cleaning all the dust overtime lol
I brought the same tesmart 16-port hdmi switch for all my consoles. that hdmi switch puts out 4k@60hz 4:4:4, I have my ps5, ps4, and xbox one x connected to it, of course all my other hdmi modded consoles and a scaler
I'm always impressed watching these videos on CZcams it keeps pushing me 2 keep going wiv my collection I thank you man
I've added to subscribed
Nice setup! That current Gamecube/GameBoy Player combo matches very well, I wouldn't change it if it works as desired. So it seems the HDMI switcher auto selects the input that gets a signal? And the (single?) output just mirrors the selected input? I haven't yet checked the previous video parts, but you basically never switch the input on the Denon receiver or perhaps for certain consoles/other systems/HEOS/'Bluetooth casting'? I have a very similar model Denon receiver. I see a PS5, a small setup with a tape deck/CD player/EQ setup and in some views a WiiU gamepad is visible? Perhaps a Switch as well. How do you distribute all of your gear over both that HDMI switch and the multiple ports available on the receiver? If you Denon model even closely resembles mine it has multiple HDMI ports aside from a few composite, component and s-video selections of ports. And do any of your systems require the separation of the audio from HDMI using a HDMI Splitter? Or (if even required) do you dual wire the audio using the original (analog) system port(s) if possible? You mention the option of a Rad2x cable. Do you use any type of scaler, independent of display-built-in scalers, like an OSSC or Retrotink? Edit: Just checked the first part of you previous video and you seem to have a RetroTink 2x for you second set of consoles that are all plugged into a Cyclone composite switch? But no scaler like a RetroTink5x for the main set of systems just to add 'overall stability' to the signal and options for scanlines, masks etc if desired? Just for completeness 😉 - Maybe add a JP/EU Super Famicom/SNES simply because the case/shell is just really nice? If you haven't seen it yet, check MachoNacho/Tito's recent video for cool mods on such a SNES, including the shell itself but there are really nice transparent shell options to keep it in line with your current setup of systems 😁 - And since you mentioned how you very much like to mod: how about a new Gamecube with Pluto II HDMI, Picoboot/SD2SP combo and (Laserbear) Blue Retro Internal adapter mods? It would also be ready for the M.2 Loader and you could match any desired and available colour GameBoy Player with any colour shell 🙃 - No MiSTer option? This system is just too awesome! Thanks for any replies! ❤
Thanks for all the great comments/questions. The HDMI switch automatically switches to the most recent signal it receives and it just passes through the signal (no scaling). Check out my older videos for my "analogue" consoles including PC Engine and Sega. I was using a retrotink-2x in that video but I swapped it out with a GBS-C last year. I am strongly considering a Retrotink-4k when its released since I can use that for every single console I have.
@@schweatty That RetroTink4K is really looking good isn't it? I have a 5X and even though I don't really need the 4K....YET, I am really thinking about pre-ordering it when possible just to have it available when I really require it. I'm crazy with regards to looking at future compatibility when buying products.
@@schweatty But....No MiSTer? 🙃
@@schweatty How do you distribute all of your gear over the multiple ports available on the Denon receiver vs inputs available on your chosen display? I see a PS5, there is a Switch, a small setup with a tape deck/CD player/EQ setup, there's a Laserdisc player and whatnot and in some views a WiiU gamepad is visible? If your Denon model even closely resembles mine it has multiple HDMI ports aside from a few composite, component and s-video selections of ports aside from the separate but assignable analog and digital audio in ports. At least one of the HDMI ports is used for your HDMI switch and another is used for the RT2x output for your secondary consoles setup. As an example for hooking up gear due to having a similar Denon receiver: a few consoles/systems (like a Mac Mini, SteamDeck, Pi3 Retropie, PS Classic, original Switch, a BlueRay player and currently in the front port a Pi4 Barebones 9.1 Sinden Lightgun setup) go into my Denon receiver by HDMI (or some composite/component connection when connecting the odd gear that rarely gets use) and the Denon's HDMI output connects to my display. But my display has 4 HDMI inputs: one input is for the Denon receiver, a second for 'television', a third for my MiSTer and a fourth for my Switch OLED.
@MrOpz everything up to 1080p goes into the hdmi switch. The PS5 goes directly into the LG OLED to take advantage of 120 hz refresh. Audio for the PS5 goes to the receiver through eARC. The tape deck/CD player uses RCAs and the optical input for the receiver. My old LG OLED had a composite input I used to use for the laserdisc player. The C2 I have now only has hdmi so I run s-video from the laserdisc into an old toshiba DVD player that upscales to 720p and output hdmi to the switch. All the analogue consoles go from the GBS-C to the switch through HDMI
i think i have a cool setup....then i see his room.
I have a similar goal but mine will all be Transparent Smoke! Save for a Opentendo build that'll be clear to show off the soldering and RGB out.
Do you have any issues with the av receiver powering off after a few minutes with that hdmi switch? I have that same hdmi switch and think my onkyo receiver doesn't think it has a signal or something and shuts off after about 10 min but turning it back on it stays on. I even turned off the auto off settings. Never did that before I added the hdmi switch.
No. I haven't seen that one. I wonder if it's an HDCP issue. I run the switch into a non-HDCP input on the receiver
@@schweatty thanks for the reply. I'll look into that.
Nice room and setup. So why no Replacement HDD on the OG Xbox?
Just laziness basically. I haven't worked my way through my xbox library yet, so I haven't had a huge need for digital copies of games.
@@schweatty Well the major issue is the OS is on the HDD and that is an old IDE drive in there is is very prone to failure. I would suggest upgrading it to a SATA Drive ASAP.
Man we need a game wall Tour please!
Hi whats that bookshelf called please?
Good old IKEA Kallax
Nice! It looks like that is a LaserBear BlueRetro board in that GameCube? If not, that should complete that setup. I didn't see the RGB LED or lit up ports. Keep the silver GB player, or use black. I could never reshell my GameCubes. I got the orange one with the matching GB Player and a Silver one that is actually a Japanese model. The matching GB Player should be delivered today. The orange one is loaded with the PicoBoot, SP2SD w/ Por cover and SD slot cover, 512GB SD card, LaserBear BlueRetro adapter, internal Pluto IIx HDMI mod and silent fan. I hope to grab the M.2 adapter if it ever comes out. The silver one only has the PicoBoot, SP2SD w/ Por cover and SD slot cover and I'm using an external GCVideo to keep it component cable ready. I see no Wii? I did the AVE-HDMI mod with the clear smoke case. The ofcourse my I have my translucent green OG XBOX Halo edition with Project Stellar and HDMI v2. I'm surprised you did the HDMI mod yourself but not the mod chip. The mod chip is WAY EASIER! I also have my first OG XBOX with the Xecute X3 I modded almost 20 years ago. It only has the simple BIOS switch panel with HDD and LAN status LEDs. The front LCD and custom panel was as expensive then as it is now on places like ebay so its actually not overpriced if you can get both for ~$150-200. Subbed and rang that bell!
Then there is the future GameCube LCD jewel mod from LaserBear. Not sure if it will be a thing but I'm thinking its not going to be cheap.
Wow... feeling the gamecube love. There isnt a laserbear controller panel. I thought ut might be a little too bright with the clear shell. I have a wii u I use to play wii games.
@@schweatty I wouldn't say I'm a huge GameCube fan. GC games w/ widescreen hacks on a Wii U look great. I also got mayflash adapters to plug GC controllers to Wiimotes and they work great, even wavebirds. The LED on the LB board is bright and shines right through the orange case. I plan on painting the outside of the plastic the light shines through. The LED port lights are not that bright.
Hi there.. NIce setup.. I saw you have the HDMI switcher from Temart. I have the same one. I was wondering do you have problems sometimes with it, because I have a ps 3 and a ps 4 pro on it and sometimes I have audio issues. Like some sounds I cannot hear. Some voices are muted. Oh and i also was wandering how do you deal with cable-management? Because for me it is an ongoing battle. Well I like to say good video and keep it up!
Ad you can probably tell, my cable management is a disaster. I've made it all nice a pretty a few times in the past but then I want to change something and I have to rip it all apart. I'm just not even bothering at this point. No issues with audio in the switch. I never have things playing simultaneously through it though. As far as PS4 pro, the switch doesn't support HDCP 2.2, so it might have issues with that console.
keep going bro....u gained a subscriber....all the best
such a beautiful setup, i love mine but i dont have anything on this exact level, everything i do is off of composite still since im old school, but this is just a beautiful display. keep up the good work, giving ya a sub, retro 4 life :)
I'm old school to I luv the crt bro it's funking beautiful
@@aaronhoward1083 as an owner to multiple CRT's i appreciate the value it brings to older games, as long as you're doing it via composite because RF is RufF!!!! lol
What’s your shleves cabinet
Good ol' ikea kallax
Just stumbled across this video. This by far is one of the best video game room tours and walkthroughs I have ever seen. Had to add this to my saved list. Will be watching this again? Thanks guy!🙏
Stay tuned. Hopefully going to have a new video up within the next few weeks
It's no longer retro if u modernize it....
Wait, why do you say the ps3 is a ticking time bomb?
Those 1st gen fat boxes are very prone to get the yellow light of death. Once that happens, a permanent repair is almost impossible
your setup is my wet dream 😂
How do you comfortable play on the consoles without killing your back or neck? I want to be able to sit in a gaming pc chair right in front of my setup but I’m looking to have a setup similar to yours.
I have a pair of recliners in the room. Not sure if they make an appearance in the video
@@schweattybut the console and controllers have short chords, do you have to pull out the consoles onto the floor to be able to play for the more retro consoles to be able to play on your recliner?
Thanks for the video - Just curious are you only just using the centre speakers for all your retro game audio? I was thinking of doing the same vs having a completed surround sound setup for a very small room
No. Its a 5.1 system. Those big wooden boxes are vintage pioneer speakers I use for the left and right.
Super informative, thank you!! You said you bought the 16 hdmi switch on Ali express?
Yes, I did. But that was 2 years ago and you know how aliexpress is. Here today, gone tomorrow
