Found it on Amazon

Sounds like something that you can load simple FDS ROMs onto if you have the right hardware.  That's based on a machine translation of the product description, though, so someone else should chime in ;D

Yeah, it says it's a type of flashcartridge that plays ROMs converted from FDS images. It requires you to use a certain tool (fds2nes.rar) to make a ROM out of the FDS image and the FDS BIOS ROM. Then you need a Kazzo to actually write the ROM to it.

It probably can only do single-sided disks though, because I see no interface for the disk side flipping (it might flip automatically like the old Everdrive did though, which is a problematic solution that doesn't work with all games). Also who knows how accurate expansion audio sounds, since there is no real 2C33. It looks like it's using programmable logic. Hopefully it handles 3.3 V and 5 V conversion properly.

So my understanding is that this is basically a flash board supporting FDS games minus the audio. I actually own one but have never actually tried it.
