I want to share this that I made with you guys, and I think you'll enjoy it.

But I also want to keep in with the spirit of the forum so I'll write up the major point here so you don't all think I'm just some YouTube dick just out for clicks!

1) Do you know some Japanese arcade machines had ports for Dual Shock PS2 controllers? Winning 11 has a port:

I saw these myself while in Tokyo in 2007 when I was in a Club Sega and was watching someone play a Bullet Hell game which also had Dual Shock connectors.

2) Also a Japanese Cabinet called Cyber Lead II had something called a "Slot Link System"

This one allowed you the insert PS1 Memory cards and controllers. Games like Namco's World Baseball 99 allowed for Arcade-PlayStation Cross saving. It also had Sega Dreamcast VMU slots for a Wrestling game that used the same system.

3) Did you know that the PS1 actually had two different ways to connect to the internet?

In the USA they actually prototyped a modem for use with this disc:

In Japan they actually had a special lead that did get released to the public that used users mobile phones to allow internet access with certain games:

One game that used it was the PocketStation Sony mascot game that featured Toro Inoue imode Mo Issho:

Cheers everyone.

I won’t spam this forum with my stuff. I’m a few weeks if I post another video, I’ll make sure I follow this same format of putting it in writing here too so people who don’t/can’t click the video can see the content
