You need a vcd adapter.
There are many versions available.But make sure your PS is compatible, most use the parallel port on the back so check you have that model.

Check out www.interesting-devices.com they do one called movie card.

Evolution - I had a look and could not find the card, do you have the prcise link? Presumably this is something that you would need a specialists to fit.

The gadget you are looking for is a vcd adapter and needs no specialist fitting. It plugs into the back of the ps1 expasion port and provides you with a composite output and stereo audio out. I have not seen this item for a long time now, but it was available from independant game console retailers for about £40.00

There used to be lots of the VCD adapter`s at computer shows a couple of years ago but you rarely see anything for playstations anymore. For £40 you could get quite a nice stand alone VCD player from our local computer show.
