Hmmm, might have to find a ps and a VGA monitor layin around here, fire it up and see what happens,
i stuck the flash card in my comp and there is a file on it, so maybe its like a demo reel for a kiosk or something

thats what i would assume it is. theres no input ports of any kind so its not a game demo kiosk module or something like that.
start with a universal dc at 5v and up it till it fires up. im guessing 9/12v max.
whats the file type. could try copying it and see if it will play in anything.

Yeah 5v 1A, i have a universal around here somewhere thatll fit the bill. I did copy the file (mpg) and yup sure enough, a 20 minute long commercial for various games for the Wii U 3Ds and whatnot lol.
So you were right on, Promo player. Appreciate the input

nice and no prob. howd you come across it? still a neat collectable to have, as it was probably meant to be a limited instore promo thing. should have been returned, id assume...
edit: it also could have been a trade show promo thing...

I got it at a local auction for 2$, thats what i was thinking just soemthign cool to collect

I ended up with a bunch of Gamecube Demo discs that were for our demo machine when I worked at gamestop back in the day. They were only supposed to be given back to the rep when we changed them to be destroyed. We didnt have a rep for a long time so I ended up taking them home.

Thats cool, was yours the same player as this one? Looks like theres an IR sensor on the front for a remote, curious if it needs the remote to use or just auto play when turned on (havent had time yet to find a PS to test it.)
