GameSeeker

Thank you so much.

I've been playing the system for a few days now. And I like it :-) But now, every time I put it on, it gives me a warning about the BIOS battery running low: "please remove it" :-( I have no idea how to replace it... And when I do, do I lose all my game achievements and data? And the lock's busted too, I can't acces the mainframe. Well, it's my luck...

Happy New Year 2014!

Hi and welcome to Retroforum.

Did you buy "this" cabinet like the cabinet from user gizaha, or "the same kind"?

Thanks for your fast reply! I ordered the IEC cable, the price was around 3 euros

My friend actually gave this to me when he was moving out. Even he didn't know if it works - because there was no cable. But really soon there will be! This was somekind of a fleemarket find. And no, he didn't tell how much he paid for it.

But then there's the third issue: I broke the key into the lock You can call me Mr. Butterfingers... I believe the key had been used for years and since it was made out of some sort of softer metal, it broke inside the lock. I guess I have to drill the hatch open. Luckily it's on the right side, the left side contains the needed connections, if I recall correctly? I hope that this works, I've played these Smarts in restaurants and gas stations. They were quite lame, so I hope there's a place where I can download new games and such. I've seen one which had been modified into a jukebox - that would be an AWESOME feature! I mean, if there's enough space for it. Or maybe there's a way to connect a 1TB hard drive to it??

By the way, can I adjust this into English? It's pretty hard for me to use this forum in your language...

I just bought this cabinet, but I have a couple of bigger issues with it:

1. I don't have a power cable. What kind of cable does it use and where to get one? I don't want to pay tens of euros for a cord...

2. I have no idea if it works, and if it does, how to start using it

Obviously I'd love to modify it as far as possible!

Thank you for your answers / help!
