Anyone knows this? It comes with a small monitor, and looks quite interesting.. wondering where I can get one of this..

[prince tomato]

it has a floppy drive?!
also, where do the controllers go?
that thing looks AWESOME!

A floppy drive? IT HAS A SCREEN! 

[prince tomato]

i found 1,
will update when it arrives.

[smeghead]

WOW, it has cassette drive like Commodore!

That is seriously bad ass and you are amazing, Prince Tomato!  Glad you found one, and can't wait to hear details about it

[prince tomato]

things may get even better...
i may have found two.
google won't yield any info on these things,
so i'm sending one to an expert for analysis,
i want to know more about the strange cartridges in the
box on the right side.
possibly MSX or something?
i doubt it takes Famicom carts, but we'll know soon if all goes well.

That is one hell of a find!!! I want to know moaaar!!

[P]

Me too!

There certainly were Chinese MSXes  since the blueMSX emulator has Chinese language types, but I don't know how common they where. Also I've never seen a Famiclone with double cartridge slots. Additionally the cartridges looks a bit short for Famicom carts.

just got a message from the seller,
he wants €160 a piece including shipping.
i don't really have that kind of money right now and i don't know if they are really worth that much...
what do you guys think?

[P]

Sounds like a lot for an old computer that we don't know much about.

[prince tomato]

i agree, but i'm still tempted...

[UglyJoe]

How much of that price is shipping?  If this thing has a CRT built into it (even a small one), it's going to be heavy.

[prince tomato]

shipping is a little over €50.

so, turns out that there are 4 available,
buying all 4 would be a bit cheaper,
about €140 a piece including shipping,
but it's a bit more than i want to spend on these right now, or at least all by myself .
anyone else interested in these and willing to jump in?

i dont have near enough!    but im really curious whats on those carts though and the whole system itself looks really cool (although im sure my mother would kill me if a got ANOTHER game system  )
