The sound emulation is wrong, and the color is off. I don't know what is up with the colors, but the sound is from a mishap in Famiclone sound chips years ago. There is a fix, but i'm not sure if it's specific to the consoles the fixes are for.
Hmmm, what are all the extra buttons for when the NES only uses A&B? It's weird that they bothered to add L&R buttons at all. I have some NES Mini clones with; 500, 600, and 620 in 1. You should check the sound on Donkey Kong. The spring stage specifically, I noticed that none of the clones I tried could emulate the spring sound. It was either missing completely, or just a high pitched tone.
Retro Core Would love to see a crazy video where you go all Office Space on the absolute crap consoles. Torch'em, crush'em, blow'em up, drop'em off a building. Something creatively destructive!
I wonder how many parents thought "what a better deal than that one with 21 games!" and bought it for their kids. I made sure my mom didn't buy a fake when she ordered mine.
@@RetroCore oh ok. found an article from someone that was trying to mod it by putting an sd inside it(fake snes mini). do you mind if i send you? if its possible it would make a good video or experiment
I got one of these with 167 games - it actually mainly has Sega Genesis/Megadrive games, with a few NES/FC games sprinkled in. It's got a light grey/dark grey/maroon color scheme.
It's so weird, right? I can only imagine that they're either trying to trick people, or they've just got a bunch of mini SFC shells that they need to get rid of. The buttons are even labeled A B C and X, but the shoulder buttons are labeled L and R, and there's still a select button. I didn't want to deal with that, so I bought a cheap regular Genesis controller instead. I wanted the Genesis games, though, so I really didn't mind that much. Only thing is, it uses a 3.5mm to RCA video/mono audio out, and the picture is really fuzzy/blurry...
Another Famiclone with the reversed duty cycle problem of the square wave sound channels... You can tell by Mario‘s jumping. When it sounds like PC Speaker, the duty cycles are reversed. It must sound more like a sawtooth wave.
My knowledge about retro games is low 😀 ( I only know Contra and super Mario) Actually it turns out there are many good and interesting games. Like your video.keep it up
Funny that they have just ripped someones hacks and put them into the system. Sure a chinese knockoff but this is like the new generation of Pocketstations.
Retro Core - By recording the audio it might be probable that the sound seems different. Try to compare the sound with the original nes classic. By the way, I like your videos.. especially when you compare the original with all the ports. あなた の youtube ビデオ は たのしですよ!!! 私 が ちょっと 日本語 を はなします。I understand elementary level japanese, but my bigger weakness is conversational. Anyways がんばって Retro-San.
I believe the _real_ reason for the copyright claim is: (Super Mario Odyssey Spoiler Alert) It's claimed simply because of the SMB 1-1 audio clip in a *_Super Mario Odyssey_* easter egg level of 1-1, not because of the NES game itself. It's the reason why my most viewed video was copyright claimed by Nintendo too... which is like some sort of odd time paradox, since that video came out long before even the 3DS was announced. Go figure.
Cheers man. I will be covering what seems to be a nice handheld next. Or my Super NT if it arrives. I notice all of those big channels got theirs before they shipped units to us mortals. Not a very nice move. The big channels always get the monopoly over us little channels. Jame and Mike's Mondays video on the Super NT was so full of crap. That fat guy talks complete bollocks.
Retro Core haha - we were laughing about that vid on IRC earlier (with the n64dev guys). Ryan was talking about "how the electrons flow" in the original SNES vs the Super NT / FPGA. He's normally quite knowledgeable about the games, but clearly has no clue about the hardware. lol
Retro Core btw, if you ever see a decent mini N64 case / clone on your travels, PLEASE let me know. I have the ideal board to put into a Mini N64 case, and no, it's not a Rasp Pi, nor any type of emulation. ;)
Have bought a similar famiclone in the japanese famicom design recently, which seems to have the same gamelist as yours showcased. Will do a video of that soon. The cool thing imho is, that there are all different games on it :-)
Even I had those Famicom clones that had multiple games inside the systems or the carts that came with them. So, my childhood was kind of non-genuine but the only genuine consoles I had back then were PC-Engine and Game Boy Color. Needless to say, only certain PC-Engine games I played were genuine looking. By showing gameplay videos of games played on multi-game carts or clones, I guess that this falls on the gray-zone although monetization of those videos brings them to a dark-zone and it's not cool.
up next, a Chinese knockoff of a Chinese knockoff. you know it exists. anyway, dubious marketing aside , it looks like it does a decent job as a Famiclone
It seems like all the Chinese famicom clones have an issue with the sfx pitch being off. You would have to be familiar with the original hardware to know it definitely sounds off.
I came to terms with Mark's Nintendo indifference years ago...it's either stop watching this excellent channel or just try and understand....I chose the latter.
Hijynx87 It's not like we had a choice...the only place who stocked some very overpriced NES units was a shop called Boots Cookshop. Nintendo didn't care about us then and they barely do now...still though it's not about 'nostalgia' for me...when I got the chance I played to death all of Nintendo's games as I believe that their games are clearly on another level to those of other developers.
I got one of these from my local smoke shop for $80 CND. Fun to play, Highly recommend one of these if you can't get your hands on a official NES/SNES classic system.
You have to wait for UA-cam to encode the video as Neko Suki pointed out. Currently it's ow available up to 2K. 4K should be ready in about 30 minutes.
No Castlevania. THX you saved me some money I have the Original Consoles and Games. But i like to have some fun with those Chinese products. Cheap and Funny. And you have something to put on Display.
I really enjoy these videos about these clones consoles and oddities. The sound on this one is pretty weird and nothing like the original hardware as far as I remember. The coin sound in SMB is a dead giveaway.
Didn't see a single SNES/Super Famicom title. I wouldn't be surprised if the board inside is probably similar to the Nintendo minis - which means it could emulate either one (psst, the NES mini and SNES mini are nearly identical inside - and yes, they're both emulators).
Some of those sprite colors are really weird. They're far darker than expected and end up standing out from the background in weird ways. (e.g. Super Mario Bros, Turtles 2, etc) Very strange. Even for a Famiclone.
I was almost there but being aware of the land of knock offs I read the discription carefully finding out it was a famiclone. Still, makes for an interesting case mod box.
Is it me, or is a proven fact that Mark's channel is like fine cheese & wine. 8^) You can always expect pure excellents that are always at high standards and worth watching with snacks. I had to get this off my chest Mark. But as always another pure grade-A video. 8^) Anthony..
Fine cheese and wine is a must but also a nice vodka and freshly squeezed grapefruit cocktail is also a must. Make sure it's 2 parts vodka to 1 part grapefruit juice for that true kick :)
NES games inside a SFC shell, advertised as 1080p but outputs at 720p....Chinese Knock-Offs, more like Chinese Rip-Offs ! This thing is trash.

Also, Nintendo are WAY to protective over gameplay videos of their franchises. Filing that claim on you is ridiculous and just disgusting. Thanks for the vid, as always.
I'm just waiting for the day Nintendo finally lose their fanboys and sink like the Titanic. maybe that day will never come but if it does I want to be around.
A copyright claim?? It doesn´t surprise me, except for Iwata, all the Nintendo big bosses seems to have belonged to the Yakuza...Kimishima is the type of father in law that nobody wanted xD. About the machine, the graphics looks more washed than the standard Famicom. With a real Famicom Mini and the hakchi tool It doesn´t have sense, a bit more expensive, yeah, but thousands way better. Great video!

Yeah no channel can upload Nintendo first party games. If the bot hears the music it's an auto flag and nintendo takes all of the money earned. For sure Yakuza, lol.
Sorry, have to nitpick again. :) You often refer to "emulation" on Famiclones, when technically it's not emulation: it's a single chip designed to mimic the Famicom hardware as closely as possible. Some hardware you've tested DOES use emulation, like the handhelds that do other consoles, but all of these things that only play Famicom are not technically emulation - although they do have graphical and audio problems due to the hardware not being quite the same. It's great that you're testing them all, though! ;)
Yep that is some weird English in print as well as some flat out lies. 9-pin is about as "off the shelf" as you can get , most ports just pretend not to be that with a different shape heh. Heard and seen worse but it's a bit off especially in color output. Interesting ROM selection though, China is finally getting past the black label titles. My favorite game is "3", totally not SMB3.
While this clone only turns out to be an 8bit machine,however caveman ninja really looks like a 16bit game hence the paralax scrolling in that game. There are many nes games with paralax scrolling such as battle toads,metal storm, ninja gaiden 3 ,boku ohare etc,,, If i could port and make homebrew games for the 8bit with paralax scrolling in it and only use pcm sound,i can fool many peoples into thinking that these games are 16bit running on a 16bit console but in reality it’s running on a 8bit machine stiffed in a snes classic mini case. And if i could come with a snes stylish controller for it were those extra buttons do combine A & B ,select & B,select & A together for games that take advantage of it,to make people believe that those games supports more buttons but in reality they not supporting more then 8 buttons. Thisway gamers don’t have to use button combinations.
Theres no way any NES game comes close to 16 bit console ones. The NES colour palette looks horrible compared to the 8 bit master system or pc-engine never mind any 16 bit system. The main reason I never got into the NES is due to the ghastly muddy drab graphics, it looks like crap compared to pretty much any other console available at the time.
Not bad, China. ot bad at all. I predicted it would be nes games and not have 1080p and not have Castlevania games. Still the emulation seems alright and several nes games look really good. I also cannot really tell how good the emulation is. I was also never a fan of the NES, but the NES does have many good games, so a nes will be acquired in the future, I'd like a HDMI modifed Famicom. Nice review. If I may ask what is your favorite 8bit system or which 8bit console did you grow up with? For me it was Master System. Better console, just alot less games and few really standout games unlike the NES which has many excellent titles.
I was a big fan of the Master System. I still have one now but I'd say my favourite 8bit machine is the PC Engine. Some argue that it's 16bit but it is 8bit due to the CPU being 8bit.
Not bad. The sound is off but only to someone used to original hardware. Worth it if you dont have anything and want to get back into retro or are new and dont like paying retail or higher for 30 year old carts. Sucks you had to remove karaoke that was great almost like being there.
Yeah, sadly the Karaoke video git slammed with 12 copyright hits from EMI Japan and JASCA, the Japanese artists copyright protection group. I guess my poor rendition of A-ha's take on me was so good :p
I thought they would have made proper NES and SNES Classic knock-offs/clones by now, especially considering the demand for them, but instead, they keep putting out the same garbage Famiclones over and over again. Oh well...
This device wins for no other reason than because they put Yoshi's Cookie on it. No one ever thinks of Yoshi's Cookie and that game was my jam! In all honesty, it doesn't surprise me at all Nintendo copyright claimed your video. We are talking about the same company that sued over video game rentals. The fact that you're technically promoting a chinese bootleg probably didn't do you any favors to them either
"can you believe NINTENDO had filed a copyright claim"? Well, yeah this has been going on for almost half a decade now. I'm surprised content creators haven't gotten the clue yet.
They ripped off the coolbaby GUI. That's not saying much as they all seem to steal from each other along with ROMs.I hope a real super new knock off gets made one day though!
LOL... Nintendo claimed a copyright claim on this video, yet they have no control on the Mario copyright being infringed when these Chinese knock-off consoles flood the markets. Kinda fucked up on Nintendo's part, because this video helps Nintendo in the long run, by allowing them to locate and prevent these shitty consoles reaching anyone (like they did on Ali-Express with the NES Mini Classic for a brief moment of time - the one with the proper controller port - Nintendo hated those).
Cost is the main reason. They have been making "One chip NES" famiclones for two decades. They are super cheap, tiny, low power chips in an epoxy glob. SNES is too complex for a cheap "SNES on a chip glob top" knockoff. The quad core ARM processor emulation is the only way to go. Honestly the Allwinner R16 SOC, that the actual NES and SNES mini consoles use, can barely pull off SNES emulation. From videos I've seen of the SNES mini, the screen scrolling is not smooth at all. It looks horribly glitchy and jumpy on Yoshi's Island and Donkey Kong Country. I wouldn't be able to play games like that. Also, SNES games take way more room. they can put hundreds of NES games on a cheap 32MB flash chip. DK Country for SNES is over 166 times larger than Donkey Kong NES. The flash memory TSOP on the famiclones probably costs a lot more than the One Chip NES Glob.
Nintendo have filed a copyright claim, is that the reason why the video is buffering at very low speed ? I mean I can watch every other video on your chanel with no issues whatsoever, but for a some reason this one is slow as fuck ?
i can't agree more with you, it might be auto-generated via some stupid aglorithms, anyway, since ive got the opportunity here let me just say that I really do love your videos, you put out great content , you seems to be putting the actual time and effort on doing something you love and it really shows. I also love your sense of humor, you make me laugh so hard at times, your English is also pretty on point, I like japanese culture thanks to you kind sir. Keep 'em coming.
Well thanks for watching! I do enjoy making the videos but I'd be lying if I said I enjoyed making them all of the time. I'm really busy with work so sometimes I do become tired when editing the videos. Still, overall I do enjoy what I do :)
LOL that sounds right to you? Seriously? The sound emulation is all kinds of wrong. You really should invest in an everdrive so you can do side by side comparisons to the real hardware. These games on real hardware sound completely different than they do here.
I bought one yesterday from a Hispanic shop and I absolutely love it! I got it for my boys so it's not like they need super fancy stuff
As long as they enjoy it that's all that matters.
The sound emulation is wrong, and the color is off. I don't know what is up with the colors, but the sound is from a mishap in Famiclone sound chips years ago. There is a fix, but i'm not sure if it's specific to the consoles the fixes are for.
Thanks for the input, tanookimack. A few people have mentioned about the colours and sound.

The two top buttons (X & Y) are rapid fire versions of the B & A. The shoulder buttons are just B & A again.
Hello! Can anyone tell me how to play it on pc?
I hate Nintendo's zero tolerance policies.
You and your Channel are cool! THX and Thumps up!
Thanks man. Always good to get comments like that.
I have to thank you, Sir. That's very nice. Cheers!
Better than the bloody & horrible PS2 Slim clone.
For sure. That PS2 slim looking clone was complete crap.
Retro Core Would love to see a crazy video where you go all Office Space on the absolute crap consoles. Torch'em, crush'em, blow'em up, drop'em off a building. Something creatively destructive!
Does this console have Adventure island game :D
I wonder how many parents thought "what a better deal than that one with 21 games!" and bought it for their kids. I made sure my mom didn't buy a fake when she ordered mine.
Yeah, those not in the know would defiantly opt for the fake one with more games.
I think the sound may be a fraction high, but not bad for £25
Geo Belmont I spend £40 on this today! Hope I can return it and get my money back!!
I HAVE THIS MF THING!!!!!
WHAT CABLES DOES IT USE FOR AV OUTPUT/INPUT I NEED TO KNOW PLSSSS!!!
Wait no nvm urs is hdmi
Yep, hdmi.
@@RetroCore mine is an RCA version
Can you add games? Have you tested something like that
I never tested that but I doubt you can. The games are stored on a eproxy chip. There's no SD or USB mount.
@@RetroCore oh ok. found an article from someone that was trying to mod it by putting an sd inside it(fake snes mini). do you mind if i send you? if its possible it would make a good video or experiment
Is street fighter on it ?
I'm going to buy one of these just because of Nintendo filing a copy right claim on your video. Is just the shell available on Ali?
Yeah, do that! Sadly they don't sell the shell on it's own.
Colours looks a bit kind of blurry
Do all systems with this menu have the same games on them?
No but they would share the vast majority of titles.
I got one of these with 167 games - it actually mainly has Sega Genesis/Megadrive games, with a few NES/FC games sprinkled in. It's got a light grey/dark grey/maroon color scheme.
Ah, I've seen the Mega Drive variation of this. That's even more messed up. Sega in a SNES shell.
It's so weird, right? I can only imagine that they're either trying to trick people, or they've just got a bunch of mini SFC shells that they need to get rid of.

so..... it a Nes with a Snes casing? :(
sadly, yes :(
can I add game one this one ?
Sadly not.
sounds almost like they set the treble too high. very metalic
Mark, you need to track down the really good SNES Mini clone. hard to spot because the box is identical.
Does it actually play SNES games? that would be cool.
Retro Core Yes, the menu is like for like.
Another Famiclone with the reversed duty cycle problem of the square wave sound channels... You can tell by Mario‘s jumping. When it sounds like PC Speaker, the duty cycles are reversed. It must sound more like a sawtooth wave.
The menu looks like the Mario 7-in-1 multicart with Grand Dad 3M on it
It probably is.

Walking through wall,with debugging code visible on the screen?? Yeah looks legit..
You can't switch it off either :(
Damn (it was a joke, but that sucks)
good video as usual buddy
Thanks, SegaCDUniverse.
@Retro Core: The sound of the chinese mario game is a little different from the original.
Is it very different? Maybe it's because of how I recorded the audio?

I guess for those not familiar like myself would never notice.
sound emulation is the hardest part
On early 90's my parents gave me a famicom but it was housed in a fake SNES housing it was funny
Really? those things are kind of collector items these days.
Nobody remembers where it is
1:00 real bad translation.
Ah, they've just used the lower case "L" so it looks like an "I".
Sooo only Famicom games on a "Super" Famicon clone system??.... Ummmmm
ya the controllers don't flex too much like lil tay
The audio on the games is horrible😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔
A few others have mentioned that the audio is off. I don't really know because I've never owned a real NES or Famicom.
Not a big Nintendo fan?! Gasp! 😲 Scandalous! 😅
Hehe, I was brought up in the UK. The Master System was the console of choice followed by the Mega Drive in 1989.

Game City was its name,but there were more made.
Ah, that's when Famicom clones were cool with real hardware inside unlike the system on a chip we have now.
Hehe exactly
The sound is off, especially when you where collecting coins in the Mario games.
I got one of these from my local smoke shop for $80 CND. Fun to play, Highly recommend one of these if you can't get your hands on a official NES/SNES classic system.
Nice knock off. Even with obvious hacks and butched games, you showed a nice selection of them. Definitely worth the price.
Why is this in 360p?
You have to wait for UA-cam to encode the video as Neko Suki pointed out. Currently it's ow available up to 2K. 4K should be ready in about 30 minutes.
I do use obs to capture the video :) but the files then go through Sony Vegas for editing.

The best clone is the cool baby 600 in 1 with hdmi. Lots of NES games, some are hacks but fun to play as well. It gets a lot of use in the house lol
I think I've reviewed that one. It was pretty good.
Love that game called "3"!
Fantastic game with a fantastic title 😁
I bought this for $8. It's good if you are just want in for the nostalgia. the hardware is looks nice and cute.
I think so. Cheap but fun for a some quick gaming.
I got this as a present. Now im depressed
honestly i don't think this is emulating NES. I think it's one of those NES on a chips.
It is a NES on a chip. I keep saying emulation out of habit.

Yeah no channel can upload Nintendo first party games. If the bot hears the music it's an auto flag and nintendo takes all of the money earned. For sure Yakuza, lol.
Sorry, have to nitpick again. :) You often refer to "emulation" on Famiclones, when technically it's not emulation: it's a single chip designed to mimic the Famicom hardware as closely as possible. Some hardware you've tested DOES use emulation, like the handhelds that do other consoles, but all of these things that only play Famicom are not technically emulation - although they do have graphical and audio problems due to the hardware not being quite the same. It's great that you're testing them all, though! ;)
Yes, I know they are not emulation. NES on a Chip has been around for 15 or more years now. It's just a force of habit though when I say emulation.
My little cousin has that "snes mini"
You know what i mean with the " "
I do indeed :)
Retro Core thank you ;)
There's also another version of this that plays Mega Drive games instead of Famicom. I don't know why they can't just make one that plays SNES.
yeah, I've seen that one too. I guess SNES emulation on these things is too expensive for the clone manufactures.
Yep that is some weird English in print as well as some flat out lies. 9-pin is about as "off the shelf" as you can get , most ports just pretend not to be that with a different shape heh. Heard and seen worse but it's a bit off especially in color output. Interesting ROM selection though, China is finally getting past the black label titles. My favorite game is "3", totally not SMB3.
Hehe, "3" is a pure classic. I can't wait for "4".
While this clone only turns out to be an 8bit machine,however caveman ninja really looks like a 16bit game hence the paralax scrolling in that game.
There are many nes games with paralax scrolling such as battle toads,metal storm, ninja gaiden 3 ,boku ohare etc,,,
If i could port and make homebrew games for the 8bit with paralax scrolling in it and only use pcm sound,i can fool many peoples into thinking that these games are 16bit running on a 16bit console but in reality it’s running on a 8bit machine stiffed in a snes classic mini case.
And if i could come with a snes stylish controller for it were those extra buttons do combine A & B ,select & B,select & A together for games that take advantage of it,to make people believe that those games supports more buttons but in reality they not supporting more then 8 buttons.
Thisway gamers don’t have to use button combinations.
Theres no way any NES game comes close to 16 bit console ones. The NES colour palette looks horrible compared to the 8 bit master system or pc-engine never mind any 16 bit system. The main reason I never got into the NES is due to the ghastly muddy drab graphics, it looks like crap compared to pretty much any other console available at the time.
The point about Master System colour VS NES colour is very true. The Master System has lovely colour for an 8 bit system.
AAwww, I was really looking forward for some 16-bit chinese knock off glory
I have this same thing, just under a different name!!!
There seems to be a few box variations.
Close one I saw this on Ebay 27 pound so found you next, didn't pick up on 8 bit you saved me thanks
No worries, Yorkshire Pud. Man, I love Yorkshire pud. Whish we had it in Japan.
Not bad, China. ot bad at all.
I predicted it would be nes games and not have 1080p and not have Castlevania games.
Still the emulation seems alright and several nes games look really good.
I also cannot really tell how good the emulation is. I was also never a fan of the NES, but the NES does have many good games, so a nes will be acquired in the future, I'd like a HDMI modifed Famicom. Nice review.
If I may ask what is your favorite 8bit system or which 8bit console did you grow up with? For me it was Master System. Better console, just alot less games and few really standout games unlike the NES which has many excellent titles.
I was a big fan of the Master System. I still have one now but I'd say my favourite 8bit machine is the PC Engine. Some argue that it's 16bit but it is 8bit due to the CPU being 8bit.
Not bad. The sound is off but only to someone used to original hardware. Worth it if you dont have anything and want to get back into retro or are new and dont like paying retail or higher for 30 year old carts.
Sucks you had to remove karaoke that was great almost like being there.
Yeah, sadly the Karaoke video git slammed with 12 copyright hits from EMI Japan and JASCA, the Japanese artists copyright protection group. I guess my poor rendition of A-ha's take on me was so good :p
Retro Core that's a shame you did fine and it was fun.
I thought they would have made proper NES and SNES Classic knock-offs/clones by now, especially considering the demand for them, but instead, they keep putting out the same garbage Famiclones over and over again. Oh well...
That's China for you. Output the same shit in a new bag.
Yeah.... I did video about it to, Come on these china people make it so funny.. Snes Console with 8-bit games... SO wrong :P Fun video Retro Core !!
One day they'll give us a real SNES mini. Or then again, maybe not.
Lol...."Yoshi's Hash Cookie"??
Maybe Nintendo cares more about the lost profits from the SNES Classics this thing rips off than the Mario footage.
The sonic game looks better than sonic boom😂
I've never played that bug I've read it's bad.
Is Famiclone the only thing these people can make? Seriously like 90% of these cheap consoles are a new plastic case for the same shoddy rom sets.
They lack motivation to make anything else. It's really sad to be honest.
Legally fair use doesnt exist in Japan. so to them, they re being generous
I think you're right. I've never seen the term fair use used in this country at all.
Sound is off even on Mario Bros. 1 nothing beats original hardware
Thank god I didn't buy it without looking for a review
Yep, this is the channel for you Chinese knock off reviews. I don't sugar coat stuff at all.
Did you ever managed to find a similar product that plays snes games like a regular SNES mini? Besides those Raspberry pie case mods.
I'm afraid not. There are many that promises to be snes mini clones but they're just regular NES.
I did find one that had a Mega Drive inside 😂
The Games are Emulated not half bad but the Famicom is at the LIMITS of the Performance that the Chinese can Emulate.
They do make a pretty good Mega Drive clone.
colours look off
Also, Contra Force is lagging badly!
...oh, wait...
This device wins for no other reason than because they put Yoshi's Cookie on it. No one ever thinks of Yoshi's Cookie and that game was my jam!
In all honesty, it doesn't surprise me at all Nintendo copyright claimed your video. We are talking about the same company that sued over video game rentals. The fact that you're technically promoting a chinese bootleg probably didn't do you any favors to them either
I'd happily promote bootlegs over the over priced fake stock shortage consoles they sell.
"can you believe NINTENDO had filed a copyright claim"?
Well, yeah this has been going on for almost half a decade now. I'm surprised content creators haven't gotten the clue yet.
Well, I'm it going to feature Mario again and less of any Nintendo IP if it's going to get my videos copyright striked and void of monetisation.
They ripped off the coolbaby GUI. That's not saying much as they all seem to steal from each other along with ROMs.I hope a real super new knock off gets made one day though!
Yep, they all ripoff each other with pride it would seem.
I really believed wich this console emulated SNES/SFC games.
I'm so ingenuos. Lol.
If only I'd did. That would have been great.
'Unprofessionalism' aside, the console still has its duty cycles mixed up.
THANKS, CHINA! 8D
fuck I bought the knockoffs
LOL... Nintendo claimed a copyright claim on this video, yet they have no control on the Mario copyright being infringed when these Chinese knock-off consoles flood the markets. Kinda fucked up on Nintendo's part, because this video helps Nintendo in the long run, by allowing them to locate and prevent these shitty consoles reaching anyone (like they did on Ali-Express with the NES Mini Classic for a brief moment of time - the one with the proper controller port - Nintendo hated those).
I wish those Aliexpress NES clones with the proper control port were still around. I can't seem to find them any more.
Why cant these Chinese makers do SNES? They can do NES and Sega all day long but SNES seems to be forever missing.
Cost is the main reason. They have been making "One chip NES" famiclones for two decades. They are super cheap, tiny, low power chips in an epoxy glob. SNES is too complex for a cheap "SNES on a chip glob top" knockoff. The quad core ARM processor emulation is the only way to go. Honestly the Allwinner R16 SOC, that the actual NES and SNES mini consoles use, can barely pull off SNES emulation. From videos I've seen of the SNES mini, the screen scrolling is not smooth at all. It looks horribly glitchy and jumpy on Yoshi's Island and Donkey Kong Country. I wouldn't be able to play games like that.
Also, SNES games take way more room. they can put hundreds of NES games on a cheap 32MB flash chip. DK Country for SNES is over 166 times larger than Donkey Kong NES. The flash memory TSOP on the famiclones probably costs a lot more than the One Chip NES Glob.
Nintendo have filed a copyright claim, is that the reason why the video is buffering at very low speed ? I mean I can watch every other video on your chanel with no issues whatsoever, but for a some reason this one is slow as fuck ?
Who knows. All I know is it's terrible to have a video copyright claimed for showing 30 seconds of a video game that was released over 30 years ago.
i can't agree more with you, it might be auto-generated via some stupid aglorithms, anyway, since ive got the opportunity here let me just say that I really do love your videos, you put out great content , you seems to be putting the actual time and effort on doing something you love and it really shows. I also love your sense of humor, you make me laugh so hard at times, your English is also pretty on point, I like japanese culture thanks to you kind sir. Keep 'em coming.
Well thanks for watching! I do enjoy making the videos but I'd be lying if I said I enjoyed making them all of the time. I'm really busy with work so sometimes I do become tired when editing the videos. Still, overall I do enjoy what I do :)
Might be neat to buy one of these, rip the guts out and put a RaspberryPi inside.
That's a great idea. The case is pretty solid.
LOL that sounds right to you? Seriously? The sound emulation is all kinds of wrong. You really should invest in an everdrive so you can do side by side comparisons to the real hardware. These games on real hardware sound completely different than they do here.
I haven't got a clue what a real NES / FC should sound like. I've never owned one. That's why I ask you guys if it's okay.
