DualStation / Gen-X
« on: May 31, 2011, 05:55:27 AM »
Dunno how to move on with this thread, but it seems like I fell in love with this famiclone, good lordy  :faint:

http://www.planeta-igr.com.ua/published/publicdata/PLANETA/attachments/SC/products_pictures/DSC_0934_enl.JPG

As far as I know, this thing costs ~$38 dollars in the game store nearby the street where I live. Also, seeing the comparision between original hardware and this (on YouTube), it seems to have pretty much similar quality to regular NES and MegaDrive wannabees. The worst part is: the joypads don't seem to be sold separately for DS, in case if one gets broken  >_>

In any case, if I manage to get it that way so none of my relatives would see that I waste my own money, I'll tell more about this thing.

If that's PAL and it has a 60 pin fami slot I sort of want one. o:

most of those combo systems I see were designed for the US market so theyre NTSC and they have a 72 pin NES slot. which isnt much use to me since i have a ton of famicom carts and, like, one NES.

Famicom mode uses its' most beloved timing, while MegaDrive mode has PAL timing which doesn't affect the music anyhow, though.

Extra features: region switch on the rear side of the console (for MD games, mostly) and built-in 19-in-1 cart (also for the MegaDrive side). Bad side: well, extra joypads ARE available in the shop, but there's still no lightguns for this sweetie  >_>
