Poopopyo Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I'm not sure if anybody here even has one of these, but I think this website may be a good source for advice. I recently got a PS1 Gamestop demo station (I guess you could consider it a cabinet). Questions: How do I hook this up and how do I get it to work? Is a PS1 required or is it already built into the cabinet? Can I use a normal TV for this? How could I go about disassembling this (not completely, but just into parts small enough to easily carry up stairs)? Can this only play demos? I may ask more questions and put more pictures up later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poopopyo Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 Kiosk. That's the word! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanallan Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 That's pretty cool you scored a kiosk Is there a PS1 in there hiding somewhere? Most likely you'll need to add one (if there isn't one built-in) and can't answer about the TV set; if there's one built in it might need a specific monitor (but if there isn't any TV that fits will work with the right cable). Where the heck are you keeping it? It looks like a hallway from DOOM and the propane tank makes me think post apocalyptic scenery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremysart Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Looks like speaker holes on the sides. The tricky part will be finding a TV or monitor that fit the thing. If you work well with metal, you may be able to make that open larger, or reverse, cut out a black mat/ sheet metal (to fit the size of a smaller tv/monitor) that you could solder or glue to the back of the opening.

BDW Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 1. Buy a monitor that fits 2. Put monitor on platform 3. Plug monitor into wall 4. Plug PS1 into wall 5. Plug PS1 into monitor 6. Insert disc into PS1 7. Insert memory card into PS1 8. Turn on PS1 9. Play PS1 Question 1 answered. Question 2: You should know, it is in your basement of despair Question 3: Yes Question 4:Have your dad help you carry it up the stairs. Question 5: Try it and find out Congrats, your questions have been answered. Have a nice day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poopopyo Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 Well this was a Christmas present and my brother had to hide it somewhere. I want to take it apart (because that thing is freaking heavy) and bring it to my room and assemble it there. I do have a pretty small TV that fits in there. Will that work? The only thing is that it's old and needs an RF modulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was able to get it down there, he should be able to bring it back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I had to plug the PS1 and the TV into the kiosk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDW Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 That simple. The few kiosks I've helped hook up in the past have basically been oversized shelves. If you have any more problems, feel free to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanallan Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 If you have TV and PS1 to hook up, go for it, see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
