What if you had two consoles and needed the switch to go from one to the other?

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

you piggybacked one through another. whatever you turned on would interrupt the signal and output the system in question.

I totally forgot about that! I think I remember a friend doing this with a NES and SNES.

I think I had 4 RF tuners daisy chained at one point for Atari 2600, NES, SNES, and Genesis.

Two consoles wasn't really a thing back then. If you had a Nintendo you weren't really messing with anything older anymore. At least in my experience. If you wanted to switch you just changed the plugs around.

I knew some kids privileged enough to have both a SNES and a Genesis.

It wasn't impossible.

Also VCRs used the same RF switching system.

The real question was, why would you have more than one of these things on at any given time?
