Accessories you never knew existed

just remembered.
NEC's PC Engine Cushion




and yes XBox DOA Beach Ball has this too



And bunch of robots for PS title

 

That's merchandise, not accessories. I wouldn't mind seeing some accessories tho. Post some if you want.

 

I remember dreaming about having this on my PSP back when 128MB memory sticks were "huge". Lol. Considering the thing came with 32mb of storage, 4,000mb was a pretty good upgrade but holy crap that price tag!

 

I was pretty excited back then as well.

Relative to what was out there, 4 GB was a lot of space for roms/mp3s/video.

 

It might not be a traditional accessory, but I found a cute little component to vga conversion box that's dedicated for certain consoles (it has a central switch for Xbox/PS/PC conversion). I can't find any documentation about it anywhere, but it works just fine.

 

HEY ! i found the PSP dock! If someone is looking for one

How about this awesome GameBoy Solar Battery Pack?

Elon Musk would be proud

 

Oh, wow, look at this thing!

 

Got this today, PS1 Game of Life controller, never heard of it so I bought it.

Multi-Train Controller for the PS2. Used on Densha de Go and Train Simulator titles, it used gear cartridges that corresponded to the trains in each game. The hardest part to find (notwithstanding the controller itself) was the Kyushu gear cartridges, which was sold separately (released after the last Train Simulator was released which needed different gear configurations), liquidated at bottom basement prices, and then became super hard to find, especially new.

The pictures above are stock; mine's stored at the moment.

One of my primary collections are train sims, and it's a really neat piece of kit--and built like a tank. I was lucky to find one loose under $250 (I've seen them go for much more to enthusiasts) with all the included gear cartridges; tracking down the Kyushu gear cartridges afterward was not easy, nor cheap at all to get into the collection.

It's USB and for the PS2 as mentioned, but there are some drivers somewhere out that that enable PC functionality in some form.

 

There's been plenty of odd acceossires for the Game Boy over the years. Nobody ever believes me when I tell them about the Game Pocket Sonar, and that's one of the better known obscure Game Boy accessories.



The Game Boy Color was also bundled as a sewing machine controller for the Singer Izek. Even features Nintnedo themed embroidery patterns.



Moving on to the Game Boy Advance, while there was never an official camera for the GBA, a Japanese 3rd party developed the Camefo Advacne video phone. I'm not 100% sure this one made it market though.



I was talking to a friend a while ago who claims to have seen a demonstration of a Big Trak or Logo Turtle style Game Boy robot, meant for the education market. I think there have been a few homebrew projects like that over the years, but I've never heard of a commercially released Game Boy robot.

 

Cool

 

Mario Party 6 (?) made use of this as well, IIRC.
I swear there was a PS1 chopping board accessory for some kind of cooking sim but I can't find any pics.

 

Regarding the datel 4gb hdd. It was only a memory stick to compact flash adapter with a 4gb card.....datel later released the compact flash adapter as a similar looking unit.

Any love for the super gameboy commander, just got one. It's great! Bit chunky tho.

I think I saw one of the n64 bio sensor on eBay UK for £9.99 + pnp.

For the original psx, there is a gamebooster, just like the n64 version it plays gameboy games....yet only the smaller games due to the limited memory of psx. Datel advertised a ps2 version called games studio, but unsure if it got released.

 

GPS for GBA SP.

I'll throw a retro into the ring... The Nintendo Hands Free Controller, designed for kids with disabilities. I had one when I was in Japan, just found out there's a US version, too.

 

I bought the PSP Camera at the time of its release, pretty sure I have some of the photos from it somewhere.

 

I have that plastic thingy. Nintendo DOL-025 JAPAN. You can check out more pics in my archive here: http://imageevent.com/gamescans/consolehardware

While at it:
HORI N64 MiniPad

 

The only good third-party N64 controller ever™
