CadetStimpy Posted December 10, 2015 Author Posted December 10, 2015 They can both be used as actual controllers (the 2nd one with the glass removed)! I wish the wooden one had more robust legs, though. In the first picture, what are they plugged into? Is it a UK or Japanese NES (Famicon), or what? Quote
DOS76 Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 NES clone I had one called FC twin that had 2 cart slots one foe NES and one for SNES Quote
Jason Carr Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Actually it's a toploader official NES console. They're treasured more than the traditional NES consoles these days because the toploading mechanism reduces/eliminates the issues with the carts not working (cart-blowing issues). And that's awesome. Imagine trying to play Mario (or any game for that matter) with a friend, and not being able to jump when *you* wanted to jump. Lol. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Entertainment_System_(Model_NES-101) Quote
CadetStimpy Posted December 10, 2015 Author Posted December 10, 2015 You had/have this? Tricky. There's so much hardware out there I've never even heard of, including this. Quote
Jason Carr Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Me neither till I started watching way too many Retroware / Game Sack / Game Chasers / Flea Market Madness videos on YouTube. I've been ruined. Quote

DOS76 Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Yeah that is it. Right after I got it I got into emulators and lent it to someone only to never get it back Wish I still had this I would get EverDrive's for both consoles Quote
CadetStimpy Posted December 10, 2015 Author Posted December 10, 2015 Maybe you could replace it with this. They sell 'em on Amazon for $130. Quote
Jason Carr Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 I really wish I could be content with one of those Retron 5s. Thing is, the emulation on them is far from perfect, so it's no better (probably worse) than playing the games with an emulator on your PC, I can't justify it. I need all the old consoles though, haven't yet found one that isn't too highly priced. Quote
