It's been a while since I had a good night at my favourite junk market so here I share with you the nice items I found last night...
Let's start with the FX-64 "Vertion 2" (no mispell intended  )
Ok I finallllly found it! The latest version of this PFX clone only released in Thailand in 1996, bios v6.4! And guess what? YES it does have the built-in CD-Rom functions. Well I'm almost certain as I found out pressing the R trigger would bring up another menu (unlike VG3, 2.02...) that disappears quickly as I don't have the CD-Rom. I'll try to dump the BIOS asap.
A funny MGH/game partner floppy in a Super Famicom floppy case
Second interesting item that caught my attention is this Famicom computer clone
I once read on http://133fsb.wordpress.com/2010/03/21/famicom-compatible-printer-port-interface/ about what appear to be a famiclone able to print via a db25 port. Mine is missing the db25 port but it shouldn't be difficult to add on a perfboard.
I also had another famicom cartridge made in Thailand with interesting softwares I was finally able to try out.
Another good thing is that for once colors are not overly saturated as they're usually on clones
Finally the last few items are a pirate GG cart, 2 gameboy clones and a GB light (although not a clone it's hard to find this one for a decent price)
The first GB need a lot of repair so I'll check it later when I have time. Obviously the screen is busted.
The Good Boy is a Wintech clone. Very few info on this one on the net. It's actually a famicom clone and not a GB clone. The LCD just displays a crappy game but the carts are actually 60 pins famicom games packaged into a GB casing. There is an adapter to plug in regular carts but I'm not gonna loose time making one although it's pretty straight forward.
It has AV output with a 3 postions switch (OFF-LCD-Famicom).
You also thought the LCD would display famicom games? Ya me too...too bad it's just another regular crappy famiclone. |

Damn those scrolling US flags on the FX-64/PFX menu background!
I was wondering if it was on bios 2.02 only, seems not :/ |
