Unfortunately i didnt get a power supply with it, and i really wanna test it.. does any one have any info on it? especially what power supply it takes as it doesnt indicate anywhere what power it needs apart from DC!

From the titles, it looks like it has a bunch of Track & Field games on it. The cartritge port definately screams "yes". I have never seen that version of it, but definately I would say so.

Definitely a Famiclone. The keyboard is there under the pretense that you would use it for educational titles :roll: . Here's (http://hawanja.com/asder_family_computer.htm) a similar device.

Nice find either way.

They aren't.

It's a pirate cartridge that is made to look like an N64 cart

My Super Joy III famiclone uses 6V DC, if that's anything to go off.
If you've got a DC multi-adaptor, it's probably best to start low and gradually increase it if that doesn't work.

If you have a multi-ac adapter, just set it low, turn on, test, turn off, set it higher until it works.

Least amount chance of blowing something anyways, the neg/pos polarity may screw you up though.
