If you’ve ever experienced frustration trying to put two or three things together consoles to your TV, wait until you hear about the guy who successfully connected 444 of them.
Saudi Arabian Ibrahim al-Nasser has just set a Guinness World Record for the most gaming consoles connected to a single TV. His gigantic collection retro consoles Apparently, it has all the releases, from the Magnavox Odyssey, the first console in history, to the very latest, PlayStation 5 Slim.
Al-Nasser is a collector, but he started having problems connecting the console he wanted to play on.
“After a while, I realized I had a big pile of gaming consoles that I couldn’t play,” he said. “TV ports are limited, and if I wanted to play, I could either unplug the existing console or leave everything and add more switches and converters.”
The most amazing part of his setup isn’t the number of consoles or their placement, but how he managed to do it without any cables. Seriously, watch the video below to see how well he organized everything. It doesn’t necessarily refer to the stack of controllers in the middle of the room, but the way he arranged everything is truly impressive.
“I used every tool on the market, everything I could get my hands on to organize the cables,” he told Guinness. That includes 30 RCA switches, 12 HDMI switches, converters, and more, which he describes as a museum setup. To figure out which buttons to press, he has an Excel spreadsheet that he keeps open on an ultrawide monitor set up by the console manufacturer. All you have to do is find the console you want to play on and start pressing buttons to turn everything on.
Al-Nasser’s collection is not limited to home consoles. There are also slot machines such as Metal Gear Arcade And OutRun 2Fighting sticks, android games, pinball machines, mini arcade machines and more.
And if you’re wondering, what’s his favorite console of all time? Sega Genesis. So, a person with good taste.
