After gathering 2 PS One screen from the K-Mart clearance, I was deciding what to do with them. I saw this and decided to do that. So after gathering all the supplies, I got it up and running and it worked great! But, I still had an extra PS One screen that I wanted to use, but didn't want to just do the exact same thing. So I thought, what about simutaneously connecting 2 screens to one source. So after doing some research I found it may be possible. So I gathered all the supplies from eBay and finally after weeks of waiting for it all to come in, I had everything I need and got it running:
(The screens may look dim, but thats because my flash was on)
So if your interested to see how its done, read on
So here is what you need:
(2) PS One screens
(2) 3.5mm to 3 RCA cables (also known as camcorder cables)
(3) Female to Female Couplers
(3) Y-Adapters
Once you are able to require all of the neccessary items, you are ready to begin.
Step one:
Attach the 3.5mm side of the plug into both of the PS One Screens
Step two:
Insert each of the red, yellow, and white plugs into each Y-Adapter, so both white go into one Y-Adapter, both red into another Y-Adapter, and both yellow into the last Y-Adapter.
Step three:
Insert a female coupler into each end of the Y-Adapters
Step four:
Take the item such as your DVD player, game system, etc's RCA cables and insert them into each of the female couplers
Step five:
Now setup your screens, turn on the item you have hooked up and your set to go!

Now a few things you need to remember are that any item such as DVD player or Gamecube is meant to only power one screen, and since you are splitting it, it will reduce the brightness. For example:

Now a few things you need to remember are that any item such as DVD player or Gamecube is meant to only power one screen, and since you are splitting it, it will reduce the brightness. For example:
The screens 5th to lowest normal brightness setting will about equvilant to the screens highest brightness when both are hooked up. So you are losing some of the brightness, but normally you would never use the PS One's highest brigtness setting as its too bright
The total cost for everything was around $50-$60 because I paid $26 and $13 for each screen. The cables are reasonably cheap off eBay, but 2 sellers I would recommend you to stay away from are Monoprice and Colordrives. Both places I received defective cables which is why it took so long for me to get everything. But all other items I received worked great and all from eBay which is where you can find all of the items needed.
The reason I made this, is because in our camper, we have bunks, and me and my bro waned to watch DVD's and play Gamecube on each of our sides. So this is what we did:
We had one cable going from each bunk and thats it. We watched DVD's, played Gamecube with Wavebirds. And it couldn't have worked better!
So if your interested, feel free to ask me any questions.
