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
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.

Wow, does they keyboard use the Famiclone's sound chip? Im guessing it would, but you can never be 100% with these things til you have them in your hand.. but if it does, then it's EXACTLY what I've been searching around for, for the band I'm in

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

lol well I tried to find some more info on it, maybe find somewhere you could buy one, I got this: http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/dyna/rapex/create_rapex.cfm?rx_id=140

"Electric shock, burns and injuries"

...

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

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.

Nice to see some info on the elusive Windows XP for the NES. Also, I think I read somewhere about there being a Windows 3.11 for the Super Nintendo, but that doesn't really fit this thread.

Well if there is a Windows 3.11 for the SNES I'll make it fit this thread. o_o i've never heard of that before.

I dunno, 3.11 on SNES sounds more like a hoax then anything. Then again, so does Windows XP on the Famicom. :lol:
