It definitely works mate and well too!
I feel that regret, except that my parents didn't keep any except an N64 my sister sold eventually. Glad you enjoy seeing the retro systems.
I haven't tested the DVD/VHS combo, but I think it works, was at my partners nannas farm so it was setup and I got the cleaning kits for it too.
I did buy some VHS tapes from an op shop a couple years ago. Best one is Home Alone and got some Indiana Jones and a few other movies. Keen to fire it up at some point!
