This is my console setup... all wireless, and almost no physical media!

The TV is a TCL 65R615. The shelves are an Ikea Kallax 3x4 unit. The shelf inserts are Ikea Kallax Shelf dividers that I sawed in half and painted black. The backing is a piece of black plywood that I had cut, painted black, and nailed in place. The bottom left bin is power, the middle two are just controllers, the right bin is wires, and extra bits.

This is a non-TMSS sega genesis model 1 on a Sega CD front loader. The Genesis has a blue LED mod. It is loading games from a Mega Everdrive X5. The Everdrive just came today, until now I had to almost pull the console all the way out to switch games, that's why the shelf under it is beat to hell.

The Sega CD loads backups with no mods, which is really nice! I bought this one broken and fixed it by replacing a single belt.

The controller port has a Joyzz wireless controller receiver in it. I absolutely LOVE this controller. It has a claimed 150hr battery life, virtually no lag, and is otherwise almost identical to an original controller.

This is another mod to the genesis to pull audio straight off the chip on the board. The front audio jack is unsightly, and is controlled by a (very old) potentiometer. Eliminating the potentiometer supposedly clarifies audio.

My Wii U running custom firmware. Wii U games load from the nand, and the front USB drive, Wii games load from a rear port USB drive, and Gamecube games load from the SD card.

Behind the Wii U we have a Wavebird reciever plugged into a Mayflash GCN to Wii adapter. Works great!

This is my Switch booted into ReiNX. It loads games from the nand, and a 200gb SD card. The switch is modded with custom transparent joycon shells, and the left joycon buttons have been replaced with a D-pad.

Those clear joycons are a BITCH to put on by the way.

The "handles" are a RDS Industries, Inc Nintendo Switch Goplay Grip. I chopped the bottom center piece of the GoPlay Grip out so it would fit into my DIY dock.

This is my Switch DIY dock. It's called DIY because you have to rip the components for it out of your original Switch dock and then build this thing from a few bits of plastic. The dock is small and light, plus it allows me to admire the screen on my Switch as well as the mods I did to it.

Plugged into the ports are a Mayflash Magic NS, and an 8bitdo Wireless USB adapter both of which allow for alternate controllers.

The white cord is going to a Raspberry Pi which is setup to run Pi-hole an adblocking network service. I use this because the TCL TV had unblockable ads on it, so I had to block them network wide with the Pi-hole.

Our old friend the PS2. It's outputting component video to the OSSC.

The memory card has FreeMcBoot on it so I can load games from the hard drive.

I play wirelessly with a Logitech Cordless Action controller, although it's probably plugged into another console in this pic.

This is the 1tb hard drive in the back of the PS2. It's nowhere near full but I had it laying around. The "network adapter" is a new version. The old versions only allowed for IDE hard drives but the new adapters allow for SATA which is nice, and cheap!

This is a Funtastic Smoke N64 with a blue LED mod, and an expansion pak. The games are loaded from an ED64Plus. The controller port has a Rapnet Gamecube to N64 adapter in it so I can play with a Wavebird. This is an excellent product as not only can you play wirelessly the adapter has a memory card built into it so you don't have to juggle memory paks.

The N64 is modded with a Tim Worthing's N64RGB and outputs RGB with Csync (or is it Luma? Can't remember) to a SNES scart cable. The 3-way switch in the picture changes deblur mod modes. Frankly I screwed this mod up and it doesn't work very well. It requires some extremely fine soldering, and took me several tries. Hey at least it puts out crisp RGB even if deblur doesn't work very well.

This SNES mini has a blue LED power indicator mod, as well as an RGB amp. I play wirelessly on an 8bitdo retro reciever. Games are loaded from an Atomic Purple SD2SNES. I've screwed around with many SNESs and I consider this the ultimate original hardware setup in terms of quality, accuracy, and clarity.

An Xbox One S, no mods!

This Xbox 360 is booting RGH'd into Aurora via an AceV3 chip. It has a custom 750gb hard drive which has quite a few games on it. The 360 in general is probably one of my most played consoles.

I play Xbox original games via backward compatibility mode which does work when loading games from the hard drive.

This is my Japanese Neo Geo AES. Audio is output from the stereo headphone jack on the front, that's why there's a wire plugged in there. I will probably eventually mod this console to pull audio from the chip as well but it's a bit too precious for me to go tinkering with its guts just yet. I will also add a blue LED under the reset button to let me know when the console is switched on. Games are loaded from the NeoSD AES which has every retail release working on it (as far as I know!).

Unfortunately, the NeoSD has some glitches for me, which may be improved by getting a better power suppply.

I play the Neo Geo wirelessly using a Neo Geo controller extension cable, plugged into an Arcadeforge SNES Strike, plugged into an 8bitdo SNES receiver.

PS4 slim, no mods! I missed the boat on the 4.XX firmware mod.

I play my Dreamcast wirelessly via a Brook Super Converter: PS3/PS4 to Dreamcast Adapter. This is another expensive but very nice controller adapter with an integrated VMU so it can save games.

Another of my favorite blue LED mods!

Inside I have a Chinese knock-off of the GDEmu to load the games from. I tried to get a real one but alas they only make them 3 at a time, and you have to shake hands with a blonde werewolf in SoHo at noon to be able to buy one.

My Sega Saturn, inside is a backup of Magic Knight Rayearth. The Action Replay is running Pseudo Saturn so that backups and imports work.

Plugged into the controller port is a Raphnet Playstation controller to Sega Saturn adapter, and a Logitech Cordless Action controller reciever is plugged into that. I'm looking forward to the Retrobit Saturn controllers coming out this summer.

My Turbo Grafx 16. Damn do I love this sytem.

Plugged into the controller port is a Tototek Joypad Converter, and plugged into that is another Logitech Cordless Action receiver.

A Super SD System 3 is plugged into the back of the TG16 for loading games. I recently played through Rondo of Blood, and I can't recommend it enough!

A PS3 that I modded so long ago I can barely remember. I think it has a 500gb hard drive, and is running 3.55 (?) Rebug firmware. It plays PS3, and PS1 games from the hard drive.

My SCART switch! The Hyda Mini is a great switch, and I mostly have no complaints about it. The only Issue I have is that I should have bought the next size up so I could accommodate all my consoles. These cables are all from Retro Access, and they are all pretty excellent.

This is my OSSC. I absolutely love this thing because it is what enables all my old consoles to play on my new TV, with no lag! Unfortunately the LED on the screen burned out, but otherwise it's working like a champ 24/7!

Dude. Nice.

Can the Raphnet Sega Saturn adapter mirror the left stick to the D-pad when you enable analogue and use both? Or can you only use the D-pad?

I love Lunar: Eternal Blue! Probably the best JRPG ever made.
