    Default Identify This! Is this a "Famiclone"?

    I managed to get hold of this today for £1, need some info on it thou...



    Wierd Famiclone i thought... why have a keyboard on it!?!?!
    Came with a 12-in-1 Cart...



    The Slot sure looks like it can take famicom carts...



    The Back of it...



    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!

    Default if it looks like a duck.....

    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 . Here's a similar device.

    Nice find either way.

    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.
