I have no idea what that Famiclone is, but I think the carts on the second image didn't come with it.

BTW, I moved the topic to the Famicom section.

I don't know about it, but I found this page showing another Good Boy console:
http://ultimateconsoledatabase.com/famiclones/good_boy.htm (http://ultimateconsoledatabase.com/famiclones/good_boy.htm)

This another console resembles Sega Genesis' aspect, but the one you posted looks like the European SNES console (I think).

Ehm.. Ive never been on a forum before, and i have no clue about computer games, so thanks for being patient with me, but what do you mean with carts?

I saw that page with the other Good boy, also i found some youtube videos with similar ones. But from one of the sites i found it seemed like there where different ones depending wich country it came from?
It came with 3x 1990 Magic Jewelry and 1x Tank

It's probable that the company made different models under the same brand, which is pretty normal with Famicoms. ;)

I think there are a few different models of Good Boy, it probably has nothing to do with the country. most likely they all came from Taiwan and they were exported all over the world.

looks like all of the games there are unlicensed originals, thats pretty cool. the Tank is NTDEC's original, not the Battle City hack. and is that a boxed War in the Gulf behind it?

It also came with a converter and as i understand that meens you can play Nintendo 64 games on it, It tried to plug it in today but theres no power, im hoping it might be the power cord/adapter and that it might be replaced?

Just wondering; if it came with a cartridge converter and some Famicom carts then isn't it in the NES format?
Title: Famiclone?
Post by: Ninja-Kun on July 24, 2011, 06:18:15 PM
No, it can't play N64. But you can use it to play NES games.

Post by: vimmsalot on July 24, 2011, 06:18:19 PM
Yeah but the Tank game was in the war in the Gulf box

Post by: taizou on July 24, 2011, 06:19:02 PM
you can play NES games with the converter, not N64. If it won't power on it could be the adapter yeah, you can replace it with one from a model 1 Mega Drive (but don't use one from a European or US NES)

Stupid question in here propably, lol, but what NES?
Title: Famiclone?
Post by: taizou on July 24, 2011, 06:21:01 PM
Nintendo Entertainment System, it's the US/Euro equivalent of the Famicom.

Post by: vimmsalot on July 24, 2011, 06:22:30 PM
Oh ok, thank you :)
So i cannot find a new adapter in Norway, can I find one on ebay or someplace like that?
*use not find, if I can not use any adapter from Norway/Europe, do i look for it on ebay? or where can I get one?

Post by: taizou on July 24, 2011, 07:10:12 PM
Probably, yeah - I think a Mega Drive one would be easiest to find. (at least that works with nearly every Famiclone I own - it depends on the specifications of the original adapter though). Although if you took the original adapter to an electronics shop they might have a suitable replacement I guess.

Oh cool, tnx! Ill try that first then :)
Im kinda on a mission to prove that something in that box of toys i bougt on an auction was worth my time of day, since all the other stuff in it was rubbish :)
Title: Famiclone?
Post by: Awesome Panda on July 24, 2011, 07:16:37 PM
I'm pretty sure is, provided it works. :)

Post by: vimmsalot on July 24, 2011, 07:21:21 PM
Yeah i hope so, if not, i now actually found a store nearby me that that sells NES stuff and specialises in restoring/repearing it, maybe they can take a look at it. They should have a clue then shouldnt they?
Title: Famiclone?
Post by: Ninja-Kun on July 24, 2011, 07:30:33 PM
I'm sure they could know what to do. Famicoms aren't much different to the NES, aside of having a different cartridge slot.
Title: Famiclone?
Post by: taizou on July 24, 2011, 07:40:14 PM
Yeah, as long as they at least know what a Famiclone is (and they know not to use the NES adapter with it - the NES' outputs AC but Famiclones and Famicoms take DC) they should be able to sort it out.
