    Those of us who collect classic game consoles and computers (here’s looking at you, AI reporter Benj Edwards) know the difficulty of keeping all that hardware not just working but instantly accessible with a simple press of a power button.

    Meh, the answer is money. With money it’s easy.

      I mean with rf based consoles it’s easy to just put a bunch of T’s on the coax but HDMI would require a massive HDMI switcher.

        You could probably chain some smaller HDMI switches together. Not sure what the practical limit would be or when lag would get noticable, though.
