oh cool, nice to see some video of this thing! Interesting that some of the games showcase some kind of rudimentary 3D capability as well, looks like there's more to this hardware than Waixing are making use of..

Incidentally, the same Kmart location also sells Lexibook's Cyber Arcade Console. Can't find much in the way of video of it, because there's no TV-out port, but what I've seen looks really intriguing-- suffice it to say, there are plenty of 16-bit CubeTac Famicom hacks included. (Eagle-eyed viewers may notice that the promotional image on Lexibook's site is a sprite hack of Chip 'n Dale.)[/quote]
I have the Red5 "Mini Arcade Machine" variation, and I swear I've heard the music in this Pac-Land hack somewhere else - any ideas?

edit: oh man and "Gold Finder", a Clu Clu Land hack, has the same music used on the title screen of Nice Code's "Crazy Kart" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWzCyraEEt8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWzCyraEEt8)
incidentally if anyone wants one of the arcade machines, MyMemory has the Taikee version for £13.99 with free delivery in the UK or £1.95 internationally (albeit to a fairly random selection of countries (http://www.mymemory.co.uk/delivery-info) that includes Canada but not the US):

The Gold Finder/Crazy Kart music sounds like production library music, of the sort you would hear in the background of sports documentaries or the TV Guide Channel. (I swear I've heard it somewhere before, like in a game show or something, but then again, production music is meant to be generic...)
It wouldn't surprise me if the music in the Pac-Land hack was from a production library CD as well, to be perfectly honest.
Yeah that would make sense - there's a (maybe Cube-developed?) DDR clone on one of Macro Winners' consoles with about 40 songs, all of which are actually production music, mostly from Universal (which may mean they actually..licensed it?)
I'm going to start a new thread on production music in bootleg games, because I just found another example. :D
Edited to add: Here's the new thread for that! (http://s4.zetaboards.com/PGC_Forums?topic=10404015/1/)
I'm going to start a new thread on the arcade machines as well, since they're quite an interesting topic in themselves and I don't want to derail this one from the Waixing console..

Vinny of Vinesauce has done an even more extensive playthrough of this thing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_c2ZLCr5Nk) (Edited to add: ...Or not. But it seems to focus on different games than Stee's playthrough, anyway), and for once, YouTube comments are proving surprisingly useful-- they're helping to shed even more light on things that Waixing has ripped off.
(I knew I recognized the music in world 1-2 of Candy Bear, and thought it was from a Mario game, but couldn't place it... it's the world 7 map theme from New Super Mario Bros. for DS! And the title theme is the ending theme from the same game, naturally. And world 1-3 is literally the overworld theme... wow...)
Hey,
Any idea if this thing can be turned into a nes emulator? Any wxn file that can be run after copying it on to the SD?
I think they can run .nes files too. The emulator isn't very good though.
