« on: September 14, 2006, 02:06:08 PM »


considering i have a small ass apartment, i'm pretty happy with
my console per square inch ratio. I highly recommend pelican's
system selector pro, it has eight component and nine s-video jacks.
[I have six systems setup right now that I can play without any
removing or un-plugging of cables] think im going to swap the cube
out for my saturn soon though, i just dont have enough shelf space.

I have xbox/ps2test/gc/dc all hooked up to PDP.
and saturn/ps1/wondermega/duo-rx hooked into guest room's TV.

and then there's virtual boy I occasionally take out for the spin when we have the guest - after they got bored with samba de amigo/sing star ^ ^

I don't have any way to post a picture either right now. I used to have my systems in two rooms, my bedroom and my basement. However my futon got destroyed and I have nothing to sit on in the basement.

So for now i've got my turbo duo, saturn and snes hooked up to the tv in my room. More than that is too many cords for me. There's also a ps2 in my living room but it's mainly used as a dvd player and the occasional game of SotN.

Tatsujin, you have the coolest video game set up BY FAR :D ! The Vectrex alone makes it the coolest! Can I live at your house? :)

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

You should know what all these systems are. If not, shame on you!

This pic is a bit outdated, the NTSC SNES has been replaced by a PAL SNES and the PS2 has been replaced with a newer, smaller model.

I've got plenty of other consoles in the closet (never use them) and a Mega Drive on the floor (not seen on the picture).

Along the row: DC, PS2 fat, SS, Genny/SCD. Fairly obvious.

Not pictured: My Duo-R which will set by the PS2 or above it.

I actually enjoy this setup. It seems fairly neat and provides me with a lot of entertainment in my own private area away from the kids... Except when they invade it to play my old games. ><

All of my other stuff is on the big TV in the living room.

system selector pro

I've gone through 3 of those now.  I only use mine for my Xbox, Xbox360, Gamecube, Playstation 2 and Dreamcast which are all hooked up in component video.  The Pelican has some crappy brandwidth and if you know what to look for, you can see some degradation in the video signal, especially in 1080i and 720p.  I kept returning them and exchanging them for new units and they all have the same problem.  But it's Pelican so what can you expect?  The newest unit I have has a remote.  I wish a quality company made a component AV selector for a good price with tons of inputs, but the max I see is usually only 4.  Suck!

I had the unit/model with the remote as well. I took it back because it would case corruption in 1080i/720p signals. What a shame because it had mulitple optical inputs too. The lady at Software Etc said they don't give refunds on opened game accessories. I had to calmly explain to her that the peice of crap in the box was not a 'game' accessory and that I wasn't going to leave without a refund.

i have the remote version too, what tv are you guys playing on, im totally anal about the signal quality and i actually went back and forth between plugging my 360 DIRECTLY into my tv's component, and then THROUGH the pelican, i did this several times back and forth to test [when i originally bought it] and I didnt see ANY differences. were you guys getting some blurryness or what?

I have the Sony 34XBR960 which is one of the best rated HDTVs ever (it's CRT).  Sometimes in 480p the top of the screen will quickly jitter at random on video going through the Pelican.  It's really quick but I notice.  On 720p and especially 1080i I see moving diagonal lines of noise throughout the pictures.  The lines are very light but I can notice them.  When I hook up an HD video camera through the front input (input number 8) they are VERY apparent.  I wish my TV had a front component input for the camera.
