This item was frustrating. I purchased this adapter so my fiancee could play her old Nintendo. The original adapter that came with the system was worn out and the connector for the back of the TV set had fallen off. So, I figured this one would do the trick.

After connecting this adapter I noticed that there were lines of electrical interference running through the picture. No matter what I did, these lines would not go away. Eventually, I threw this item in the trash and used a piece of electrical tape to fix the original game adapter and, although ghetto-rigged...it looked perfect.

Save your money on this item!

All is good....my son was wanting to play some of the older games on Sega Genesis. Fun to pull out game systems from the past. The adapter was hard to find in the stores....Thanks!

I have all three systems that this switch is suppose to run off of. My plan was to use this to free up the other three tv inputs from my television. The cover of the box looks like there are two input jacks but there's only one. What you see is the input into the television and the other goes into the NES/SNES/SEGA. I was hoping I could have two systems hooked up at once but I have to use the same jack for all 3 systems.

That's not even the problem with this RF switch. The connection to my TV is real grainy with wavy lines that run through the screen. It looks horrible. From the very start of gameplay it looked like I was playing on one of those old rabbit ear TVs from the 70s but this was on a flat screen. If you tested a Sega or SNES on this you would probably think there was something wrong with the system because of how bad the connection is.

First I tried the Sega Genesis. The wavy connection was instant so then I tried it with my NES to see if it was just the Sega. It wasn't. The connection was just as bad. I played for a while on my Genesis and just when I thought it couldn't get any worse the color went out in the middle of gameplay! Now not only was it a wavy connection with interference waves running across the screen, it was also in black & white. We played for a few more minutes and it looked like the color might have been coming back in but by then I was so frustrated I put in the regular Genesis hookup. The picture then looked clear and great on the newer TV.

I can honestly say that I probably won't use this product in the future. I wouldn't even recommend this as a back up because of it's poor quality and especially not as your main TV hookup. I have another 3 in 1 but it's an AC adapter and it's the same thing. These unlicensed after market remakes never seem work the way they should.

I'm not sure which Genesis this is meant for, but it wouldn't connect to mine.

But, it won't work for an NES or Genesis 1 like I was led to believe from the product ad. Label on the packaging inside says it is for newer systems. Might work for an SNES, though, but that wasn't what I needed it for.

Made the perfect gift and as a owner I thought it was great, so that was why I chose it for a gift for a friend.

Simply great, a great Rf switch...
