PS-X-Change (version 2)
was a proprietory disc that made the swap trick easy for Playstation
imports. The spring was made for PSX and the white
sticker was made for the PS One. Vibribbon DOES
NOT work with this method. The game will start, but you cannot get to
the play screen. |

This Adapter was useful for players who hooked up their Playstation system via RFU but still wanted to make use of certain accessories, such as the Namco Light Gun. The pass through port accepted the RF adapter and the yellow plug for the light gun slid into the appropriate side slot.
SCPH-1160
|
|
The Namco Light Gun worked
with (and in some cases was packed in with) Time Crisis, the
Point Blank Series. The gun was specific to Namco games only,
and not many of the other light gun games for the Playstation or Playstation
2. An orange light gun was released with the Playstation 2 Namco games.
Also worked with Elemental
Gearbolt (non Namco).

|
Super Cobra by Nyko. Worked
with all the games that the Namco gun didn't. Had a double tip that
