Famiclones

ya but i want that like two in one feel, that and i hate yobo

[nintendodork]

Two in one feel?   You don't have to have a Yobo one either.  There are thousands (literally) of different kinds to choose from.

I have seen one famiclone its one that has ps2 controllers and is white and red

The wonderful thing about Famiclones is they came in almost any shape you could imagine to get them to sell, including modern consoles. Google Polystation3 for a laugh.

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

I have a friend whom has a Generation Nex, and its the worst; they have wrong colors during games, most games wont play, sounds are pitched way off and the packed in controllers are clumsy and odd feeling.

[FamicomFreak]

Can't you use the NES controllers on the Generation NEX? I also heard bad things about it even though I got excited when it was announced.. good thing I didn't picked one up.

ya theres one on ebay for sale its called the polystation

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.

I've heard of a Micro Genius clone with both NES and Famicom cart slots... MG's are usually pretty good. Never actually seen it though.

[FamicomFreak]

Hmm I have one that has both slots too and plays great! has SV cables and all, and and built in games including super donkey kong 2!

I've just cleaned up and repaired the sound on that mini NES clone I found the other day.

Before


After


Quite the difference!

I had to replace one of the 74HC368 chips to get the sound working correctly. These seem to go bad on discrete clones for some reason, leading to severely distorted sound which varies with temperature. It works perfectly now, though audio and video performance isn't really stellar, that's something to be expected from a clone system.

What part of the world do you find those in? I've seen a couple different users find them, and it seems like an awesome clone. I've gotta get one!

[jpx72]

My famiclone is from Eastern Europe and it has both 60 and 72 pin connectors for NES and Famicom cartridges...

I got this famiclone on amazon a just  few months back, so there's probably still a few left. It's called the Game Fillip 88 in 1 Direct Plug and Play.
