Any info on the bigger famiclone cart cases?
« on: January 03, 2012, 03:22:08 AM »
That's my favorite type of pirate cart case.
Who made them first? Which companies made them also? Why and when pirates stopped making them? Where do I find carts like this?

Which companies made them also?[/quote]Loads. Orange ones seemed to be especially common in China in the mid-90s, I think Subor and maybe Yanshan Software used them among others. They showed up in Russia too. In Taiwan around the early-mid 2000s some company was making a pale blue version, and possibly still is, it's a common design for newish carts found on Ruten.  I also seem to distinctly remember seeing old white ones with Super Contra on them.

The newest ones like in your photo are made by "YH" who are one of the few multicart makers left in the game now, but they're pretty well known for low quality generic products.

For the older ones you'll have to try auction sites and stuff, I guess.

If you're going to buy those sort of carts, you're best off avoiding the YH ones. Those ones break very easily and they don't seem to work properly on a real Famicom. :\

Nice, I never knew it was Jaleco design! I thought these carts are not made anymore because I haven't seen new ones since like 2000.
