Famiclones

[133MHz]

Thanks guys . I've finally got around to replace the CPU and PPU chips on this clone for 100% accuracy and compatibility!

It turned out great, I am quite impressed as usual with your doings.
Also because of you now I have Dream Mary on a cartridge.

Wow, you must love that thing to death if you want to fix the cart slot, then put new chips init.

Anyone have a Dendy (Russian clone, pretty old from what I can recall of it)? This is one I have been after for a while, as it looks like a famicom, but black and grey mostly, some I have seen online in a charcoal black color.

[shoggoth80]

Well that would explain more than a few things wouldn't it?
Still, as someone who is intrigued by clones, ya gotta admit that it would be neat to have in the collection.

I would love a to have a Dendy! The elephant mascot it so cool. Theyre still very popular in Russia.

1) all time favourite, native "Pegasus - Family Video Game" from Bobmark :


2) "Family Computer" also a nice famicom based clone :


3) and a shitty one, glob-toped "Polystation" :

All right, here's my contribution to this thread - my famiclones:

I can't decide which of those I like better, the Mega Drive 2 with its blatant SEGA logo, or the Dendy, which claims to have not only a Pentium II processor, but also a Celeron and a couple others in the upper corners that I can't read. Who knew Famiclones could be quad-core?

[jpx72]

Haha, no, don't be fooled, the pentium stickers on the dendy were put there by it's former owner - they are not "original" artwork
BTW: inside of the SEGA famiclone:

great job! i'd love one of those famiclones

also unrelated but i loved your murphy's law post.. so depressingly true

Just saw this on the other forum I frequent (RetroGames.cl):



Looks original, an old model I presume (no FF logo), but what's with the turbo controllers? Did they exist as a replacement for the built-in ones?

yes it is a clone the player II controller had a mic and even if it did have turbo settings they would (more than likely) be above the A and B buttons

whats so bad about the generation NEX

[nintendodork]

It has horrible sound and video problems with some games, and it can't play all games of either system.  It's compatibility list is like 50%..if that for the Famicom, and slightly higher for the NES.

whats one like the NEX but better

[nintendodork]

Well there's no good clone that can play both NES and Famicom.  Just use a clone you have now and get the proper converter.
