Ok long story short was living in a 1 bedroom hapt, so could not fit my retro stuff..lived there for about a year..before that both my snes and sega gen model 1..modded to s video btw..

Now over year later moved to a house got more space so i got my gaming room..ok so i hooked up sega saturn, sega dreamcast, xbox 360, nintendo wii

So now i hooked up my sega gen svideo and nothing..also note i am using a switch cause i got alot of devices to the svideo..i turn on the system and nothing i got no picture no audio no nothing???
*I was looking online and there us supposed to be a red light when you turn on..but i dont see no red light..so i assume it is the power supply need to get a working one??

Ok so my guy feeling is need a new power adapter??? What do you guys think..
Also hooked up the sega gen to another tv and nothing

Ok so i said well let me try the snes-svideo..hooked it up and i am not getting nothing no audio or video..i see the red light but nothing??

Also take note that there cables are the ones you buy at gamestop they are those universal..tried hooking up a ps2 to the same universal cables and they work??

Ok my gut on this is buy some cables??

tried hooking both systems on another tv s-video and composite same thing i get nothing.

I need help guys what do i do??

also note that right now i dont have a game inserted in the snes..but still i should get something from the system right??

    Try the RF output, see if that works. Can't see how both systems would just up and die on you. I'm good at figuring shit out, but I have to be there (hard time explaining what to do, I do better hands-on), and Texas is a bit of a walk for me

    Well if the red lights don't come on on your systems, then it's mainly the power supplies you're using. You have to buy new ones. SNES ones are easy to find, but if you're buying Sega, make sure the seller gives you the right one. (model 2 and 3 AC adapters are different than model 1)

    were you using an actual sega brand adaptor or a NES one? ive read that using the NES adaptor on the Genesis can cause problems. though if you were to use a Genesis on a NES= no problems. just a thought...
