This might be the first time I've "seen" James genuinely upset, which is kind of saying something considering some of the vehicular misfortune I've seen him just stoically run with.
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
I suspect that A) the card/USB need to be on FAT32 and a very specific name structure or B) the power supply is not enough, be by power supply amp limit or the 12V adapter being bad at the job it was designed to do...
as someone who always gets motion sick in cars and could never use technology, my friends wouldnt shut up about having these and i was kinda jealous, thank you james for showing that i didnt need to be jealous anyway
i was wondering if that usb port is only for multimedia, aka just to listen to mp3 and see movies, that's why there is a sd card slot. i'm speechless tho that even that didn't worked... the gritty must be wade's pkcells companions! we found their old brothers lol.
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.
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.
I remember when my Mother got a portable DVD Player. But this one came with a "Game Disc" which had a few NES Games on it. And just for fun i tried to burn a few NES Games on a Disc and it worked XD
I never had any of these as a kid because the old van my mom had from like 90s or something had a CRT in the back. We would plug a nintendo 64 into it lol
I want to get it now... Just so I can make it better. Imagine this, but you just plug a phone that has a desktop mode into it. Sure that would limit you to Samsung, Huawei, Asus, Librem, PinePhone and OnePlus... But it would still be awesome. Bigger screen, speakers, some ports. With some modifications (ripping out and replacing all the internals) I could see it being a fun little project. :)
I didn't think the sleazy NES knockoffs could get worse than the 999999 in 1 carts that had maybe a dozen games duplicated thousands of times, but just straight telling people "yeah just download roms from the internet, not like Nintendo isn't nuking every rom site from orbit" is a surprising new low. The fact that the shit thing didn't work is a blessing
There are totally legal-to-distribute NES homebrew ROMs out there, so they could've included SOMETHING. But, as James found out, even if they did, you couldn't play them!
Wouldn't this thing be kind of dangerous for the person whose seat it would be installed in? Doesn't the softness of the headrest protect you from impacts during a collision? Maybe I'm overreacting considering James is a mechanic and didn't mention anything about safety but that cd mechanism looks to extend pretty deep into the headrest pillow.
you and wade have to install this in the goober
He's definitely going to want those batteries as companions for his PKCells
@@ccoder4953 You mean as companions for the One Grit.
no.
the donkey van.
If only it wasn't terrible.
@@BJsTrashChannelexactly because it's terrible
6:58 James sounds genuinely mad about this thing hahah
I was!!
Angriest floatplane plug to date, but counteracted by a longer cat clip
This might be the first time I've "seen" James genuinely upset, which is kind of saying something considering some of the vehicular misfortune I've seen him just stoically run with.
@@somitomi I think the CLS disappoints him more than making him angry
Tbf it seems pretty effin frustrating.
Nice! The only game I could play in the car as a kid was "Shut the hell up or I'll turn this car around."
My parents loved that game!
my father liked playing Drunk Driving :)
@@Klockorino It seems to be a fan favorite 😂😂
@@secondghostyou couldn't just count cars? Or pretend you were running alongside your car and dodging obstacles while also being quiet? 😅
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
I like to believe that somebody driving by had their FM tuned to that output and got an earful of SonicX for a second.
The dank pods and James channel back to back releases!!!!
It's like Christmas came early! :D
There for both!
The total drama island screengrab really makes it.
On Netflix, too, implying this can do something modern, maybe having a builtin Android tablet.
5:54 3D movies in the early 2000's be like
My family had those screens that elastic strap to the back of the existing headrests. They were terrible, but made cross-country trips much better tbh
Wade has a gritty rock. James has a gritty battery. I don't know what to do with this information.
Ooh, my Gritty.
1 GRIT
@@NigelMontezuma2 GRIT
today campers we’re gonna game on the worst way possible, lets see if we need to send it off to the dock of shame
I suspect that A) the card/USB need to be on FAT32 and a very specific name structure or B) the power supply is not enough, be by power supply amp limit or the 12V adapter being bad at the job it was designed to do...
Yeah nearly certainly one of these. The SD card needs to not be a larger capacity one too usually on these pieces of junk
I'm thinking if it needs to be FAT instead of FAT32, sometimes they really hate file systems.
I had a psone that had the attachable screen and car adapter. That thing got me through so many family roadtrips
CAR SEAT HEADREST MENTIONED
literally my first thought
csh my beloved ......
Oh no.... My Grittys....
DGTEC stands for Disappointed Gamer's TEC
lol, ikr? the thing can play sonic x, but cant play SIMPLE NES GAMES. the port-a-game market has hit a new low.
Try really really short file names. I noticed it displays the name truncated as "SONIC TH" which is 8 characters so it probably wants 8.3 filenames.
as someone who always gets motion sick in cars and could never use technology, my friends wouldnt shut up about having these and i was kinda jealous, thank you james for showing that i didnt need to be jealous anyway
I can't wait to play Elden Ring on my car headrest
Bedtime? Postponed.
James, you've gotta give one of those Gritty batteries to dankpods. He loves those weird batteries lol.
Love seeing your content, always a highlight mate
I think this is the first time I've heard James genuinely upset!
Do you and Wade share an upload schedule or something? Not complaining, we’re getting blessed twice!
I think it'll be deliberate. Every Thursday I've ended up watching both videos haha
My older sister has the EXACT version of this in her car (it used to be my dad’s), and I’m fully convinced she forgot it exists
5:54 The shot of the SD card jumping out towards the camera was really slick if but a happy accident.
I love how James couldn't even begin to hide his digust at the end, kept the same irritation at the garbage right up until the last word 😂
You know its a bad product if James of all people is genuinely angry
i was wondering if that usb port is only for multimedia, aka just to listen to mp3 and see movies, that's why there is a sd card slot. i'm speechless tho that even that didn't worked... the gritty must be wade's pkcells companions! we found their old brothers lol.

The stuff sucked then too.
That controller is horrible dear god
It's more likely to make your kid throw it to the windshield
Car Headrest Entertainment System With Cover is my favorite band
Is that Total Drama Island playing on that thing?!
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.
You can tell just by the controller that the Car Seat Headrest Entertainment System is serious gaming.
Yeah james,the future sucks,we don't even need to go beyond...
0:37, car seat headrest!?!!?!?, like the critically acclaimed band who made the hit album “Twin Fantasy”, in 2018?!
I remember when my Mother got a portable DVD Player. But this one came with a "Game Disc" which had a few NES Games on it. And just for fun i tried to burn a few NES Games on a Disc and it worked XD
god, james, thank you so much for that tiny snippet of sonic x intro. so many memories were just dumped into my brain after that. you're very cultured
Saw this video and was like "what the!!"
I have an RCA one that has straps that just wrap around the headrest that came with a plug in controller that had games on it.
Man, this is the first time I've seen James mad. And it can only lead to him trying to crowbar a real NES into that headrest.
This is the angriest James has been.
"The future of disappointment" should end up on some merch
Watching this in my car waiting for a store to open.
I never had any of these as a kid because the old van my mom had from like 90s or something had a CRT in the back. We would plug a nintendo 64 into it lol
probably the one and only time we'll see James this angry at something
PK Cell sees Gritty: At last an opponent worthy to face off!
i like waking up to james posting a new video
I want to get it now... Just so I can make it better. Imagine this, but you just plug a phone that has a desktop mode into it. Sure that would limit you to Samsung, Huawei, Asus, Librem, PinePhone and OnePlus... But it would still be awesome. Bigger screen, speakers, some ports.

Shoutouts to Chris McLean casually being the symbol of this system.
He would do something like this.
dank and james, absolute perfection
I was so expecting to hear “power on, bluetooth mode, auxiliary mode” when you turned on that external speaker …
4:14 0/10 No Gotta Go Fast 😢
They're called gritty because they make the terminals gritty when the juice leaks out.
Channel James
0:38 Car Seat Headrest mentioned
the goober needs this
Oh no my grittycell
DID YOU TRY A DVD GAME?A DVD game (sometimes called DVDi, "DVD interactive") is a standalone game that can be played on a set-top DVD player.
FYI BTW you can Also use portable Radio headset! Also for the IR use tin foil and makeup mirrors
I didn't think the sleazy NES knockoffs could get worse than the 999999 in 1 carts that had maybe a dozen games duplicated thousands of times, but just straight telling people "yeah just download roms from the internet, not like Nintendo isn't nuking every rom site from orbit" is a surprising new low. The fact that the shit thing didn't work is a blessing
i had one of these on my ford
5:54 Forceful SD card ejecting action
The Goober needs this
When i see diy install i also thumbs up
Can't wait to see this thing on Garbage Time.
with the pic on the box it looks like it was made around 2007 or 2008 the pic is from total drama island i recognize Chris
Makes me wonder if the music/picture/video playback works or whether that part is broken too.
Mad James is scary James
I mean, it's good, but it's no Matrix phone...
I remember watching walking with dinosaurs over and over again on a borkier version of this
You and wade should install this in the donkey van
We would just plug up a pacman plug n play to the DVD player on the ceiling in the car as kids
"...disk just splats in there..."
Pancakes, anyone?
There are totally legal-to-distribute NES homebrew ROMs out there, so they could've included SOMETHING. But, as James found out, even if they did, you couldn't play them!
The anger...
Wouldn't this thing be kind of dangerous for the person whose seat it would be installed in? Doesn't the softness of the headrest protect you from impacts during a collision?

JAMES POSTED
I don't judge them for not including any games, Nintendo would sue them go bankruptcy.
james my goat youve returned to drop another banger of a video!!!
oh god my dad put a set of these in our old family wagon we had them in and sold them with the car
Angy James is my favourite James
I wonder if it even functions as a headrest.
0:37 yo who wrote twin fantasy?
you gotta give your grittys to dankpods so he can put them with his pkcells
I would have absolutely loves this as a kid, if not anything but to watch movies with headphones before smartphones became commonplace
$169 that is effing criminal 😭
INSTALLATION TUBES!
Have you tried lowering the resolution in settings to 240p
This should go in one of the nuggets on garbage time
So you ARE that James from Garbage time. I had this theory that you were that guy but couldn't find concrete evidence till now
you better install this in the goobah
Finally! A battery name that rivals the pkcell
It has betún, fellas.
The grittys vs the PKcells
May the worst battery wins.
Man, James got actually angry.
car device!
First time I've heard James get this upset! This thing really is a piece of kaka-doodoo!
Dont you have to format the usb and sd card in a certain way before it works properly?
James replied under a different comment that he's tried both FAT and FAT32. The SD card used was 1GB.
Someone please solve this for James! I want to see this!
