    Before and after pictures of my "gaming credenza".  I cleaned up a bit to make some room to add a Nintendo 64. 

    With a full house due to the pandemic, this is all the space I have to work with for retro gaming. There are several systems in here:

    1. Wii (with GameCube support)
    2. Retron 3 (NES, SNES, Genesis)
    3. PS2
    4. Atari 2600jr
    5. N64

      Yes, the PS2 can play PS1 games, I believe. And many models of the PS3 can play PS2 and PS1. Lots of people were upset at the lack of backwards compatibility on the PS4.

      When you say "RF Switchbox", do you mean one of these?

      RF Switch box adapter. (Atari, Intellivision, ColecoVision): nostalgia

      Or one of these?

      RF Selector Recommendations - Classic Gaming General - AtariAge Forums

      Because I might be able to help you out. I have an extra of the latter, and one of the former I can't use. Not sure if the screw-in one works as I have no way of testing it.

      The latter, but I do have one of those.  I also have one with push buttons and 8 inputs.  But like I said, it's a wiring nightmare.  I think I may stick to my "no RF" policy in the gaming credenza. 

      (The 7800 has been composite modded :) )

      No RF policy? That's strange. Over here, RF is my best friend. None of my CRTs used composite until I found one at a rummage sale that had it. I still haven't found a use for that thing yet.

      Here's what the RF wiring setup is over in the gameroom:

      FLATSCREEN                                                                     CRT

                                               \CABLE SPLITTER/

                                                           |

                                                         NES

                                                           |

                                                         SNES

                                                            |

                                 RF MODULATOR (COMPOSITE ADAPTER)

                                                     /                               \

                                        ATARI 7800                      XBOX

       

      In my room, it's like this:

       

      CRT

         |

      VCR/DVD COMBO

                  |

      RF MODULATOR

                  |                                          \

      ATARI 2600                         WII U

       

      I love RF. The picture isn't great (at all), but I'm able to daisy-chain the things together. And, I can use a CRT, which is how most of these games were meant to be played. RF on a flatscreen looks like garbage. Convenience and not having to plug in and out all my systems is much better than picture quality in my opinion.
