Includes but not limited to: SNES, Genesis, Sega CD, PlayStation 1, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, Game Gear and I guess the Virtual Boy.

you don't need a switch, you can run on both screens at a time.

Use a switch or I believe it's called dip switch you can use. A dip switch, if I'm correct, is one that is tripped when you push a connector into a port. It disables ground, so you could have the screen on the case as the main display and when you put an A/V connector in or something like that it kills the connection and grounds out the A/V connection so it works.

A bit long winded but that's how the switch I'm describing works. If I'm wrong someone like gannon can correct me... well if they enter this forum.
