Title: Computer famiclones
Post by: taizou on August 04, 2011, 11:36:23 PM: I just recently rediscovered this page about an interesting computer Famiclone i found a while back. so im gonna start a thread about these things!

heres the one i found: http://2style.in/torahanako/pachifami_MUSICIAN.html (http://2style.in/torahanako/pachifami_MUSICIAN.html)
its a (computer) keyboard with a slide-out (music) keyboard. and it runs on... Windows XP? Well kinda.

the fake BIOS screen is the same as the dumped Windows 98 which is basically useless, it's just a start menu and a desktop that just leads to a bunch of random windows windows and static non-functional screenshots of programs and stuff.

but the XP on here actually does stuff, it has like a text editor and a calculator and a music thingy (naturally) and other programs that actually do stuff, plus a few fakey windows apps like QQ and IE.

there are three games included, all Nice Code - Boxworld, Bomberman 2002 and Pikachu Tetris. plus the QQ app has a bear asking if you're in Xian, which is where Nice Code is based, so i'm guessing this is their work. Which I suppose would also mean the useless 98 was theirs too.

Not to stray off topic. But if that keyboard really does sound like an NES.. I need to find myself one of them. :P

"Electric shock, burns and injuries"

...

Well at least you know it was sold in Hungary in 2007 :D

And the main problem seems to be the AC adapter anyway, like it always is with these things. i just use a Sega one for everything like this.
