Yup.
Served me well for many years, and made it so I played many a game that didn't come over to the west when I was a kid.
The first game I ever bought with my own allowance was a pirate chart of Wai Wai World 2, still remains one of my favorite games of all time.

I’ve been searching for a Famiclone that I grew up with but can’t find the exact model online. Controllers were nearly identical to pic related, except it wasn’t a cartridge system. It had a couple of hundred popular NES games pre-loaded onto it including Mario Bros, Duck Hunt, Double Dragon etc. These were everywhere in toy shops in the UK in the early-mid 00s. Anyone have one similar?

Back in 90's, here in Memexico, the "family" was king. The cartridges were super cheap (except for weird shit like Street Fighter III or Mortal Kombat) and using an adapter we had the whole NES library too. Games and family consoles were all over Mexico City at flea markets and the NES and its games were available and stores and even the official Nintendo Store (C. Itoh back then) in the center of the city. Those were the greatest years of my life ;_;

I had a "Nintendo MT999DX". As a kid i didn't question whether it was legit or not, it felt like the genuine article to me. I mean it looks and works like a Nintendo, accepts Nintendo cartridges and even has the Nintendo name on it. Also had an "Ending Man" too at one point (aka Sega Terminator).

Oddly i can't remember where those consoles went to, it's like they got lost in a move or something, and i definitely don't remember throwing anything like that out. I'd like to find at least one of them again...

[Anonymous No.6588792]

I still got mine from the early 2000s and works fine, the only problem are the controllers, they still work but aren't the originals that came with the console, the originals where like original dual shock quality, to this day i am still surprised how good they where, my mom told me to lend them to a kid who i barely knew, when i ask them back they where missing buttons and the analog sticks where broken, one of them didn't work, when my mom went to his mom, the mom's kid apologize and gave us some shitty low quality controllers that stopped working a month later, after that the faggot never again came asking for shit, good thing? he is a junky now, his mom doesn't let him in the house anymore after he started stealing shit from her.

my first console was a NES clone that surprisingly could run original cartridges just fine and of course it came with a bunch of classic NES vidya built-in

many years later, I bought a Poly Station with my own money and things got interesting because this thing had a perfect clone of Aladdin, Donkey Kong (both were hard as fuck but I did beat them), Power Rangers and some other games I'm probably forgetting

well, one day I was bored and I took it apart to see what was inside the damn thing and I inserted a SNES cartridge to see what would happen, and I SOMEHOW booted a completely different set of games, at least 6 different games, kek. I could play them but they were buggy and glitchy as fuck

The Ending Man Terminator 2 was my first console. After it crapped out, my grandma bought me a legit Famicom (I have no idea how, and what did she pay for it), which lasted for a long time, but unfortunately I think my cousin broke it somehow. After that I had a PC, and my parents never wanted to buy me any console of any kind, because they were "unnecessary bullshit for children". After I started making my own money, the first thing I did was to buy an used Xbox. I wanted a PS2, but they only had Xboxes at the pawn shop.

[Anonymous No.6601949]

>>6601708
Why does it need an antenna?

[Anonymous No.6601978]

>>6601949

It's for really ancient TVs with no video input - the antenna plugs into the RF modulator and emits a strong enough signal for the TV to pick it up as a regular channel with its antenna. Basically a wireless video link. Completely illegal with regards to RF emissions, but neither the chinks nor the ones importing these famiclones cared. A neat aspect of it is that if a neighbor in your appartment building was playing it, you could pick their game up with your own TV by tuning it to the right frequency.

>wasn't it the same in the US?
Oh, absolutely. Before composite became more widespread the only way to hook something up to your TV was by coaxial cable with an RF adapter or, if your TV was older than the dickens and only had antennae hook-ups, the two-prong switch box like old Ataris would come with. And you had to set the TV to channel 3 (or 4 in some areas, some consoles had a switch to swap between the two) to get an image when you turn the unit on.

[Anonymous No.6604570]

>>6604173
i've only heard of "channel 3/4 for game consoles" in the US, i'm not from the US
for me, i've always needed to tune channels myself, while of course our tv's still have preset channels (1, 2, 3, etc), the frequencies they're set to are user-set, so even back with RF-output consoles, i would just tune arbitrary channels for them, like 6 for playstation, 7 for master system or whatever, something that doesn't get in the way of the actual tv stations

and in practice, since the 90's this just means letting the TV automatically scan for all channels, then assign them to numbers, once, when you buy the tv

[Anonymous No.6605328]

>>6605073
But that's what would happen everywhere, you just wouldn't assign the channel numbers. "Channel 10 News" would be channel 10 in every TV.

[Anonymous No.6605585]

>>6604160
All of them. All countries have spectrum allocated to broadacsts and each channel takes up a certain amount of that space at a certain frequency. Long before children were born wearing airpods you would select the channel by turning a dial that tuned the received to that frequency. There were numbers on the dial so you could identify where you wanted to turn it to.
Also, it was free, didn't even require you to give an email address, had no buffering and didn't max out the family data plan on your rotary phone.
