Just FYI, that tv DOES have a power button. It is just on the bottom of the tv where the infrared sensor is in the tv. You press it to turn on, and you can press it to go through the menus. I never knew about this button until I has to move the tv when moving houses. Hope you see this and it helps!
It does take a LOT to connect that many systems up to be switched to at any time.... Then there is a lot of other factors, crossing power cables with video cables can add noise to the Audio/Video signals. It could cause poor image quality.
The most I think I'd have connected or at least gaming ready are 3 consoles: N64, Gamecube and Wii (need to fix that one, though). If I decide to also put the VHS and DVD players I have and I get an SNES I just saw that number would go up to 6. At that point I'll consider getting a switch ready for the mess. Might as well start thinking about an HDMI switch, too.
I have the ONN Roku TV and it’s 40”. I used to have my LG 19” TV, so I decided to get a better one, because my ONN Roku TV has more features than the LG did, and it has a built-in Roku in there.
Man, all that composite into a framemeister was my dream back then. So glad we have stuff like the RetroTink and HD Reteovision now for cheaper and higher quality video
These tours are great, but I wish we could see more of the game collection too. Some of the rare and obscure stuff maybe... Maybe some odd hardware that he got donated by fans...
I feel like 2016 was right when capture cards were finally getting good enough to rely on. If he had tried it in 2009, the footage would have looked like absolute garbage. And it's hard to know when to switch away from a system that works.
Awesome! I wasn't expecting an update vid. It is from 2016 but i don't care lol. Thank you! You have a fantastic gaming room James. Seriously. Cherish it. ❤
The bigger question will be if the Nerd moves onto the OSSC Pro and a portable capture device to replace the FrameMeister and DVD Recorders in the next one?
I have almost 20 retro consoles hooked up to a 27" CRT TV that everything works well. I am soon adding an original Atari 5200 4 port, Mattel Intellivision and a Panasonic Laserdisc player to the mix. My 2001 Sony 4 head VCR which still works is helping with all the hookups along with a coaxial splitter and RCA multi switcher boxes. So far what I have hooked up besides what I previously mentioned are. Atari 800/XL computer, PS1, PS2, Panasonic 3DO, OG Xbox, Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast, Atari 7800, ColecoVision, NES, SNES, GameCube, N64, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis (Model 1), Sega CD (Model 1) and a Sega 32X. I also have an old 2002 HP computer tower running MAME for arcade games and such.
Geez I struggle maintaining an n64, ps2, wii, xbox 360, ps4, and an Xbox one into one tv while james got an entire generation of gaming in one tv and old tv
So he records his games with that VHS/DVD thing? That's cool! I wish I have all game consoles like him but only have few of them and a modern console too.
Behind-the-scenes videos like this, for example are cool to see--especially when it comes to The Angry Video Game Nerd & how all of the episodes are filmed.
Make sure to put that flat panel in game mode! I have an LG and the response time is sub 10ms in game mode. It makes a MASSIVE difference in platforming and shooters.
James : If you haven't already, pick up a Harmony remote, they support a wide variety of AV devices and would solve your problem with the coax equipped DVD recorders that don't come with a remote, not to mention it would cut down on the number of remotes you would need to run all of the different pieces of equipment. They are highly customizable and allow for programmable buttons you can control.
This gives me hope I can finish mine eventually. I decided to get a little crazy and get a projector with a 135 inch screen and am trying to hook all my stuff to it, but also to the other smaller TV if I don't want to have the big one on. It's a crazy mess right now. Killing zombies on the Wii on a 135 inch screen is making it worth the effort though.
My wife got me that exact tv for my birthday 4 or 5 years ago. The picture started to go out and get really dark after a couple years so I unplugged it and put it in the garage for a few months. I put it in the kids room and it's worked great ever since lol.
that TV has 3 buttons directly under the TCL logo on the border, which can be used to power on/off. I have what looks like same model but diff model year 2017....thought the same exact thing "better not lose the remote lol" and I found those buttons accidentally when I was putting it onto an adjustable arm mount
James I have a Panasonic PV-D4743S VHS/DVD player/recorder, and it has in and outputs for both coaxial and RCA. So it’s something you might want to look into
as a kid I fucking dreamed having a room like AVGN. I still dream of it as an adult. I know that I would amass a collection like it as I get older but physical media is so hard to get now that I wish there was a way to buy used game on bulk I don't even care about having good games thats easy I just want to have such a large physical library
The tlc TV has a button James is in the below part of the TV in the center is a ball like button from which works for turning on, select the apps you have installed, power off the rv
I'd love to have all my consoles hooked up and ready to go at all times. Currently I have a NES, SNES, Genesis Model 2 + Sega CD, Jaguar, PS1, 2, and 3, Dreamcast, N64, Saturn, 3DO, all 3 Xboxes, Wii, Switch, and a DS capture device to play on my TV. I find it funny that James also has letter codes on each switch box too, I thought I was the only one that did that! I wonder if theres AV selectors with like a dozen switches..?
The RF Coaxial cable is a good cable for transmitting data but not good for displaying video and audio signals. It’s probably more good for audio then anything. Now the cables are used for send compressed data for internet or TV and the boxes like the cable box or the internet modem uncompress that data to a clean signal. The cable still used today because every home still has these cables built in new homes are phasing these out but a lot of homes still have these cables built into there walls. So a lot of companies still use them as a way to pas data for internet and tv. Look at it as a way of passing a digital signal through an analog cable then the signal gets uncompressed back to being digital
There is a power button it's in the middle circle of buttons on the bottom right of the tv .any how you can actually download the roku remote control for your phone. Pretty neat
This is an old video but damn is it still helpful. Trying to connect about 18 consoles to my screen and this gave me a better idea on how to figure my area up. Thank you!
EXACTLY when he said "RCA input" as I had this video playing, I was typing RCA into Google for something totally unrelated. Specifically I was adding RCA to my search string because the use of the term VCD alone brought up vocal cord dysfunction as the top result.
TCL Roku TVs have a power button underneath them behind the power LED. I'm sure that James figured that out by now being 4 years later but I wanted to throw that out there for anyone who's never had one of these TVs. I laughed when I found that out.
So many reasons why Xbox360 is the oldest game console I still play and collect for. Older game consoles are such a pain to get to work and look right on modern TVs.
The reason the VCR/DVD combos dropped the coaxial input was because devices that had the rf input used a TV tuner with it. As DVDs were coming of age, the analog over the air signal was slowing fading away and putting in a TV tuner was a waste of money and space in a machine for a technology that was already being phased out.
I have the exact same TV, and I know this is probably over 4 years old, but the power button belongs under the center of the TV. Kind of strange, but there is a power button
Yes that device R F D modulator is hard to find i bought mine when radio shack close down i should have bought more than 1 😳 what burns me is I used to see those devices at the thrift stores and pass them up the trials and tribulations of a game collector
You still recording on DVD these days is insane! :) So you still need to import the videos, before using them? Like you would have to do with an old camera?
I'm the only one who just loves James talking about stuff? :D Its soo soothing... He is a modern day Bob Ross.
He needs to take those bad games and beat the devil out of them...
I wouldn’t call the nerd “modern”
Hahaha there is NO way on EARTH that James is ANYWHERE NEAR comparable to Bob Ross
The audio is so special, Google activated on my phone and said "Sorry, I don't understand what you said."
I know its 2016 but James sounds like he is talking through a webcam lol
I thought my sound system died.
He did say he was using his phone to record this.
And i like that for some reason
Ikr
you gotta forgive the quality of his motorola DynaTAC 8000X
"Yeah, HI-DEF!
...now let's play some 8-bit shit..."
I love how your both a nerd and a regular guy on things like this, the honesty of the idk but Mike will help me, love it.
Just FYI, that tv DOES have a power button. It is just on the bottom of the tv where the infrared sensor is in the tv. You press it to turn on, and you can press it to go through the menus. I never knew about this button until I has to move the tv when moving houses. Hope you see this and it helps!
I love how James just turn into the nerd talking about coaxial cables lol
But more calm
AVGN is basically an exaggerated version of James when he's really angry.
Geez, much props on all the hard work you guys put into this setup, it's pretty much as crazy as I imagined it to be.
AVGN forever!
I'd LOVE to see a 2020 version of this :)
Crispy Johnson YES power button
PLEASE DO A 2020 UPDATED NERD ROOM TOUR VIDEO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
I'm pretty sure it's almost all the same
AmazinChannel oh definitely but it’d still be nice to see one
@@annamous5991 stop it
hell baron N E V E R!!!!
B-chu what?
That is a lot of av cables
Its beautiful ❤

James is the definition of retro gaming
TCL "Rocku" TV in tha houseeee!
I have the ONN Roku TV and it’s 40”. I used to have my LG 19” TV, so I decided to get a better one, because my ONN Roku TV has more features than the LG did, and it has a built-in Roku in there.
got that Roku house and a Roku spouse wearing a Roku blouse, with a Roku mouse in your Roku couch
Man, all that composite into a framemeister was my dream back then. So glad we have stuff like the RetroTink and HD Reteovision now for cheaper and higher quality video
Frame meister was still the thing last I knew, didn't realize we'd advanced in that department.
We Remotely Low look up the retrotink and ossc
Personally, I still prefer to connect all of my systems to a CRT, and use the HDTV for all of the HD consoles
Actually, i have my AV switcher thanks to an older version of this video!! Thanks!!
Your entire basement is the best time capsule today period. Fantastic video, keep them coming!!
These tours are great, but I wish we could see more of the game collection too. Some of the rare and obscure stuff maybe... Maybe some odd hardware that he got donated by fans...
Hello
Please James do a 2020 nerd room tour i want ti see the new classic games that you have
HIDHIFDB there isnt one anymore its a greenscreen in a studio
@Jeremy Mitchell sadly the ps2 era is now classic.
thank you for explaining the RF demodulator. I have been looking for one everywhere for such a long time
You're doing good work, sir.
Thank you.
@Mr mario_supreme pizza 94 Sonic4 IKR dude 😁
OOOHHH! ROLLING SHELVES?!? Wow, James.
Nostalgia...
Critic
@@kryptonitespider-bitedynam7305 no
Finally, I was waiting for the Room Tour 2016 at AVGN!
We need an updated video!
Imagine actually burning to DVD in 2016 for footage. LMAO.
I feel like 2016 was right when capture cards were finally getting good enough to rely on. If he had tried it in 2009, the footage would have looked like absolute garbage. And it's hard to know when to switch away from a system that works.
Who asked?
DVD is better for the James, because he have a big library of footages, which is sorted
@@Takemura77 Stop
8:06 That's funny, for me the problem's always been the other way around. Always have issues with the DVD player breaking while the VCR works fine.
Awesome! I wasn't expecting an update vid. It is from 2016 but i don't care lol. Thank you! You have a fantastic gaming room James. Seriously. Cherish it. ❤
How is he able to flex all this shit and yet he's the most humble guy on RUclips?
That extra space has the Amiga CD32's name written all over it lol
The bigger question will be if the Nerd moves onto the OSSC Pro and a portable capture device to replace the FrameMeister and DVD Recorders in the next one?

You should post your game room.
Geez I struggle maintaining an n64, ps2, wii, xbox 360, ps4, and an Xbox one into one tv while james got an entire generation of gaming in one tv and old tv
Yes I've been waiting for a updated room tour
Hey James, just so you know you can use your smartphone as a remote for your Roku TV.
Man I wish I could visit James's game room. But that what everyone wants to do lol
So he records his games with that VHS/DVD thing? That's cool! I wish I have all game consoles like him but only have few of them and a modern console too.
"rock you tv" lool
Need a rarest video game showcase
If that basement floods it’s over lmao
@cinemassacre i have the same tv the power button is under the middle of the tv. Where you see the led light
The fact that all these old videos are getting backed up here makes me really nervous.
What do you mean?
Wish I had a chance to visit
Behind-the-scenes videos like this, for example are cool to see--especially when it comes to The Angry Video Game Nerd & how all of the episodes are filmed.
12:33 "Coax Shit" :) Love it when James randomly swears probably without noticing! Haha. Love the collection !
I think that was just his accent
Make sure to put that flat panel in game mode! I have an LG and the response time is sub 10ms in game mode. It makes a MASSIVE difference in platforming and shooters.

I would love to see the room from farther away with a view of everything
This gives me hope I can finish mine eventually. I decided to get a little crazy and get a projector with a 135 inch screen and am trying to hook all my stuff to it, but also to the other smaller TV if I don't want to have the big one on. It's a crazy mess right now. Killing zombies on the Wii on a 135 inch screen is making it worth the effort though.
Have you switched from DVD gameplay recording to a capture card or something like that yet? It'd get that big ass VCR out of your way
My wife got me that exact tv for my birthday 4 or 5 years ago. The picture started to go out and get really dark after a couple years so I unplugged it and put it in the garage for a few months. I put it in the kids room and it's worked great ever since lol.

The button to turn the TV on is on the back of the TV, about 1/3 of the way up on the right side
I would like to see a 2020 tour
From the recent videos I dont think much has changed or really could change. This setup is as good as a retro gamer can hope for.
"Rock you!" Lol. Think he meant "Roku." Think we've all done something like this.
how do you not have fires with all that?
Power button for that tv should be on the bottom
I love how everything looks
You are the best youtuber
The tlc TV has a button James is in the below part of the TV in the center is a ball like button from which works for turning on, select the apps you have installed, power off the rv
But when will be the 2020 one?!
From the recent videos it doesn't look like much has changed. His game selection probably gained a few pounds lol
Where did you get those shelves with the wheels on the bottom?
Hey, any ideas where he got those rolling shelves from? Those look great and fit in with his room so nice!
Great stuff, guys! Love this vid, keep up the good work!
There are also multisystem vcrs for regional name changes of movies
Time for an update!
How many power bars are in use in this room, James!? That's what I was thinking while watching :D
I want to get my 8-button AV switcher, so I can connect to my VCR or my ONN Roku TV.
Snap, Crackle and Pop
I'd love to have all my consoles hooked up and ready to go at all times. Currently I have a NES, SNES, Genesis Model 2 + Sega CD, Jaguar, PS1, 2, and 3, Dreamcast, N64, Saturn, 3DO, all 3 Xboxes, Wii, Switch, and a DS capture device to play on my TV. I find it funny that James also has letter codes on each switch box too, I thought I was the only one that did that! I wonder if theres AV selectors with like a dozen switches..?
The power button is usually in some odd place, like right at the bottom or all the way in the back.
I hope you found the power button. (Bottom center underside on the middle light thing)
You have a great collection your kids are set for life.
Last I knew, James didn't have a frame-meister yet, didn't realize how much time had passed and how behind on his nerd room I was.
The RF Coaxial cable is a good cable for transmitting data but not good for displaying video and audio signals. It’s probably more good for audio then anything.

Your gaming room rules, Nerd! Awesome Pac-Man mat, btw.

EXACTLY when he said "RCA input" as I had this video playing, I was typing RCA into Google for something totally unrelated. Specifically I was adding RCA to my search string because the use of the term VCD alone brought up vocal cord dysfunction as the top result.
This whole setup must create a ton of input lag.
TCL Roku TVs have a power button underneath them behind the power LED. I'm sure that James figured that out by now being 4 years later but I wanted to throw that out there for anyone who's never had one of these TVs. I laughed when I found that out.
No wonder why he's the angry video game nerd with that setup there is going to be so much lag
Way to go James, I'm proud of you 😁👍
Please do a 2020 Nerd Room Tour!
11:00 I do have a RF anteia DVD/VCR Player
I have always wanted to know if james has insurance for his gaming room. I can see it now.....i need a quote on my nerd room.
I find it odd that James is not as tech savvy as we may think he is.
Or very good at games.
Plugging everything into the Framemeister using composite gives that away
@@RC-pj1pr well he even says himself that he isn't savvy, but you'd think by his videos that he'd certainly knows something of technology.
The power bottom might be under the tcl logo or at the back right edge
You have a Framemeister and proceed to use composite? 😕
