Career
[edit]In March 2024, Ibrahim Al-Nasser rose to prominence after when he connected 444[1] different video game consoles to a single television screen.[2][3]
He used an innovative external adapter to connect the consoles to one television.[4] He created his setup from scratch, using a system of RCA switchers, HDMI switchers, converters, and various cable management techniques.[5][6] During his endeavor, he maintained a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet by inputting technical instructions, using the spreadsheet as a guide for activating certain switchers to access specific consoles.[7]
During his Guinness World Record attempt, he began with the earliest video game console, the Magnavox Odyssey, and concluded with the recently-released PlayStation 5 Slim.[8] He also connected other prominent video gaming consoles including the likes of Xbox 360, Wii U, Super A'Can, Super NES Classic Edition, Nintendo Switch, Atari SA and Sega Genesis.[9] The Guinness World Record officials paid visit to his location to exclusively capture the setup of his consoles and uploaded a video to YouTube.[10]
