When I got the Super-Joy home, I discovered that it didn't work. This needed to be fixed.
I couldn’t get the device to power on from the AC plug that came with it. As usual with these things, the AC plug and A/V out were part of the controller board - I decided not to trust it and threw it out. Instead I powered it with 4 AAs, as I did not have another AC plug handy. After some trial and error, I managed to wire the NES pad to the unit. A little cutting and hot glue later, and I had a Famicom in a cartridge!
I might convert it to a portable later, but for now, it’s just an easy, portable famicom system - and it was fun to build. If you start it without a game in it, you get the option of playing same on-board games, such as MARIO and DUCK HUNT, so you at least get what’s advertised - although I don’t have anyway to attach a light gun.
I didn’t mean to cut the cartridge port so long that it went off the end, and the controller needs a longer cord, but hey - i built it out of spare parts! I didn’t have any spare controllers with longer cords!
Here are some pictures of it working, plus a picture of a weird pirate hack that came on it. (These things always come with knock-off game or hong-kong-originals(Nes NES games made just for the pirate market. They are generally terrible.)
WOO! Rockman! I just got this game in the mail today!
Teletubbie Mario Bros? There's also two different versions of Ninja Turtle Donkey Kong Jr, and some sort of Toy Story themed Bomberman Clone.
Games for the year 2000 and beyond!
I'll probably add an AC adapter when I get some spare parts and get rid of that funky battery pack.
