I would like to see them all turned on at once so I can see the circuit breaker explode.

A bit more serious though, why have them all hooked up to one TV at once? There's no way all that works right automatically. There's gonna be some manual invervention to get the console showing on the TV.

That way you get a world record.

I just watched the video and he does have like this really complex video splitter I guess and he show this like giant spreadsheet he has so when he wants to play PlayStation one he looks on the spreadsheet and knows which switch settings to use and then his power he did show some of them and it looks like someone will automatically turn on though

If it’s all analog, maybe he has some crazy connection setup. HDMI could be done by hdmi splitters that can detect when a signal is being received.

I think it would be possible with a ton of work and trial and error.
