My parents actually turned it into a game, you won if you were quiet the longest. Worked pretty well until we got competitive and argued over what counts as a loss lol
It’s probably doing that due to a lack of voltage. If you had your bench top supply set at 12 volts then it might not be enough power for it since a car battery typically runs from 13.6-14.4 volts. The emulation might actually work if you plug it into the outlet in a running car.

@@iaincowell9747 The menu is able to list them but looks like the area on the left is supposed to display a preview, probably by actually loading it in the emulator. It's at that stage where it crashes so maybe the emulator has different path requirements and just can't load whatever the menu told it to load.
@iaincowell9747 file name length can actually be very important. Software thats either really old or in the case of this thing poorly made only recognizes files named in the 8.3 name format another commenter already mentioned (8 characters for the name, 3 for the extension).
My family had a DVD player with screens that strapped to the back of headrests and it had A/V input. Spent several car trips with the game system of choice at the time hooked up.
My family had something very similar like 15 years ago. It was a DVD player that had 2 monitors attached that had straps to wrap it behind the headrest. It also had some sort of game controller but unlike James’ e-waste it’s 8 bit games were preloaded. The only bad side was that it had no buffer so if the road the road was bumpy and you’re watching tv/movie it would stop and start. We put a pillow under it.
Seeing a Sony optical drive was unsurprising. My first portable cd player was a Sony, and it rarely skipped. The thing could handle a lot of shaking and abuse while still playing a song. I even took it backpacking and it worked perfectly.
yeah, unsurprising, considering sony and phillips made the cd standard together, but also look at the husk of what phillips is now.... Wager most optical drives on the planet are manufactured by sony... or assembled by third parties from sony components. the Phillips was usually market leading and first to market with CD stuff though, Sony just killed it with the marketing. They also worked together on the audio casette tape format standard. the anti skip was first, achieved by spinning the disk faster and using rubber isolators... Then they developed a sample buffer that worked on about a 10 second buffer. Then finally they moved to the same size sample buffer in terms of memory ram, but found a way to quickly compress the audio down in file size, to that the buffer would hold 45 seconds. the disk still spins super fast at the start to ingest data to fill the buffer. The two different kinds of shock protection are called ESP which was ESP 1 and 2 and then later "G-Protection" G-protection was always on, with a selector that chose between uncompressed 10 second buffer, and the 45 second buffer. ESP 1 and 2 could be disengaged completely though by the time g-protection came around, most people left in on constantly anyway... so they made it always on, the antiskip uses more battery when on.... so was desireable back in the day, when the devices used more power
Some older tech can have a limit on the size of external media it can read, i used to have an MP3 player in the 2000s that couldn't read an SD card bigger than 512MB, Maybe try a smaller sized SD card or USB stick.
I worked at Dick Smith 12 odd years ago. DGTEC was one of the generic brands plastered on all kinds of bargain basement garbage. The stuff sucked then too.
Oh my. Your comment reminded me of ‘digitor’, which I remember was another one of the Dick Smith house brands. I used to have a 5" B&W CRT TV from that brand* back in 2004 before the screen stopped working (like the nearly identical ‘TONGTEL’ one I had before that and exchanged), and my mum eventually took me to a garage sale where I was able to get a 14" TEAC colour CRT TV that turned out to work better even though I lost the portability, but to be fair, I also had a portable DVD player at the time.
I suspect the company was deliberately trying to confuse people into thinking they were buying products made by the more reputable company called Digitech. They make effects pedals for guitars and stuff like that.
It would be cheaper and easier to just hot glue a 3 year old phone to the back of your headrest, download a bunch of games and movies on it, and give your child a proper Bluetooth controller. That is insane.
First thing I can think of that could be causing the constant reloading would be something weird like usb/sd fileformat! It could be that the nugget of a headrest doesn't like NTFS, because I've seen linux systems read NTFS, but have no idea what they're looking at, just as an example. Could be worth trying with FAT for the file system if you didn't already have it formatted to that?
I love how genuinely disappointed he is with it towards the end. Imagine being a dad that bought that for a road trip and all this is happening hours before you leave.
Had something similar but instead of being built into the headrest it came with a harness to strap it to the seat in front also a couple of USB controllers with the squishiest buttons you've ever felt and the games were on a disc iirc. Fun gadget as a kid/ teen for long road trips.
DGTEC? More like DGSHT given that it got so iffy trying to read James' storage of games. Love the longer catto clip (with Wade cackling in the background)!
Gritty batteries are by far the best and most functional part of the whole thing. They actually do everything they are supposed to. An easier way to do this is one of those portable DVD players with a case to strap it to the headrest. You can even get them with a second monitor so both rear passengers can have their own screen, but the one I used as a teenager was very much a master/slave arrangement to the point where the master unit needed high volume so the slave unit could receive the sound. Heck, nowadays you can probably just take the guts out of such a DVD player, Hook up the monitor to a Raspberry Pi, And use that to DIY a vastly more competent entertainment system.

Seems strange to go through the effort of having that FM streaming feature for audio, something not directly advertised from the glances I saw, but the game that's advertised (and a waste of plastic "controller" is included for) just loops. I'm guessing whoever makes the software package for that family of SOC's had an emulator included in the OEM options from using the exact same SOC in a clone or something, and they figure, "hey, we can advertise games if we have them include that." Who knows, they could have easily included a dedicated power line in that seat cable thing and used the exact same circuit for power as the plug on the front... it was literally just the cost of a wire and another trace or two on the board... -,-.

5:01 actually Mac computers have a very good reason to leave hidden files everywhere. it's because Mac computers are not PCs! Macs stopped being personal computers in 1998 when they spent 13 million dollars on an marketing company. This marketing company told Apple they should tell people they don't distribute Chinese computers. Computers or PCs can't be compared to Chinese MacBooks and stuff. 😂 It all makes sense. Macs are NOT computers, they do NOT compute. Apple can't be compared to anything because they're the most unique company and or product we need to worship the non-PCs
We had one of these when I was a kid and the game function worked great I think you got a bad unit the remote was horrible and if you had to in the same car the remote would sometimes operate both

It's funny seeing someone who has no idea how to be angry being angry at something
I would have absolutely loves this as a kid, if not anything but to watch movies with headphones before smartphones became commonplace
Car Seat Headrest mentioned
Imagine listening to Car Seat Headrest on the Car Seat Headrest
I really should have thought of that
Car Seat headrest went in a really weird direction on this album

James, I'm very sad. My dog died this morning. It was not a calm death, he suffered before he died and I will carry for the rest of my existence on this existential plane the sadness that follows the death of this creature. And then you posted a video today, it makes me feel a little better.
Making you add your own roms makes it legal to sell it, otherwise they're committing copyright infringement and software piracy, so actual props to them for not stealing games that don't belong to them

5:01 actually Mac computers have a very good reason to leave hidden files everywhere. it's because Mac computers are not PCs! Macs stopped being personal computers in 1998 when they spent 13 million dollars on an marketing company. This marketing company told Apple they should tell people they don't distribute Chinese computers. Computers or PCs can't be compared to Chinese MacBooks and stuff. 😂 It all makes sense. Macs are NOT computers, they do NOT compute. Apple can't be compared to anything because they're the most unique company and or product we need to worship the non-PCs
Macs are on BSD
The only thing better than losing your remote in the couch is a child losing it in the back seat while the car is speeding down the hiway
Popping that freaking SD card out like a piece of toast was hilarious 😂😂
They're called gritty because they make the terminals gritty when the juice leaks out.
Finally a headrest that probably has 1.5% of the whiplash protection of a normal headrest
I think we had something like that in the family car back when I was a kid but it was one of those comes with a bunch of bootleg/arcade games kind
We had one of these when I was a kid and the game function worked great I think you got a bad unit the remote was horrible and if you had to in the same car the remote would sometimes operate both
this is the first time I can hear James actually angry at a device
What an insane product to produce I mean the amount of effort and skill it would take just to get it mounted and then to have all those cables and whatnot like it would just be easier to get one of those little carrying cases for a portable dvd player that goes on the back of a headrest
James and Wade uploading at roughly the same time? Hell yeah brother, this is the second time in a row.
