PS1/2 Questions with PS1 cables

[thieves like us]

rightmost connection spot. the original playstation has the psu built into the system, so all you need is a lead to your wall outlet.

Given as psyfira said the power cable is called a figure 8 cable [hint!] AND lagman even linked to a picture of it [hint!], take a guess as to where it goes! I mean come on... the ports are even labelled on the machine!

Guys i just bought a universal s-video a/v cable. It says it's compatable with

PS1
PS2
N64
GC
Xbox

However upon attampting to connect it to my PSX, i encouter some fair resistance. the cable end is the right one i'm sure, and i have compared it to my original cable. The shape is the same howeven the pins appear a bit different.

Might the PSX and PS1/PS2 cables be incompatable?

I'm definitely too scared to try and force the plug in :'(

Edit: i took my chances and pushed it in hard and it went in!


pheeew!
