I found a few of these in my closet recently, haven't seen them in years.

Windows 10 recognizes it as "Twin USB Joystick" and at first, it looks like it'll work... but when I try pressing buttons, none of them register. I've tried 2 different controllers (PS1 DualShock, PS2 DualShock), can't get a response from either.

I've double-checked the controllers and they work on the console, AND they work on PC using a newer PS2->USB adapter. I've tested 3 different blue PS1->USB adapters, and I get the same results from each: Windows sees the adapter, it shows up as 2 USB game controllers, but none of the buttons cause a response.

Anyone know what might be the issue? Looks like these originally came with a mini-disc w/drivers on it, but I don't have it.

I’ve had this kiosk for a while, I know one person that owns it but they’re not really on social media that much and near impossible to contact.

I don’t suppose anyone here has a copy that I can use to re-print to restore my kiosk?

Stopped by a few garage sales yesterday and found this. I’ve been collecting PS1 for 20+ years but never seen one of these cases. It also has the console and what looks like a proper care / maintenance sheet? I am assuming this was an original rental console from way back? Or is this some third-party knock off carrying case?

I have 2 different recapped Nichicon power supplies.
They BOTH intermittently failed to allow the Ultimate PS1s I'm modding to boot up.

I tried using them because they supposedly have the least heat, but they can't supply a Retro Gem and an X-Station simultaneously and consistently.

GO WITH MITSUMI.

I got this from a thrift store for 30$ it's mod chipped not a stealth one though

3 year old me was loving life (I am now 30)

This was one of the first ps1 games i got back in the day. This is the first time ive completed it allbeit with the help of infinite lives but even then a very challenging game. Sometimes seriously frustrating but overall an enjoyable and rewarding game. Im glad i finally got to see the ending. Now onto the second hopefully be a little easier.

Got this in a huge box of random old tech at a car boot sale, i cant find anything online about this

A friend found these for me. I was able to get them at a good price! The demo disc was hidden in Gran Turismo.

Games are scratched but work, except for warpath 😢😢… console turns on just won’t read discs

... and made a video about them!! Check it out!! https://youtu.be/_PuAyfTmAIA

Gonna go cry now:/

Back again with even more discoveries!!! I finally cracked open the debug menu, now allowing us to modify absolutely everything including physics, time and space itself! Also discovered golden mode and flying mode! Both were left in the development kit version to test various aspects of the game. Check it out!!!!
