My first post here...
(I actually posted same message couple of days ago but I think it got lost in the middle of the forum switching servers or something...)
I ordered Retro Duo from Amazon seller for about $42 including shipping. After purchasing RD, I looked for the original Famicom on ebay since I always wanted one. And I found one for $19 (another $19 for shipping) brand new!. So I purchased it for $38.
After I won the item, I noticed that it says "(not branded, not made by Nintendo)". -_- Thankfully the seller returned the money and I canceled my order.
I was just wandering... Have you guys seen this Famicom clone?
I am assuming it's an NOAC clone device... It can't be a copy of original Famicom... right?
Here is the original link.

Tricky Ebay Famicom Clone

I have seen it before, I believe there was an article of it on the nesword website's pirate gear section, but since that site has had an update there are only two clones left..
I love that clone stuff, they steal all kinds of designs; If I remember well this one was made by mastergames, they also made fake 60 and 72 pin NES's that look like a SNES, PSX or N64..
I have a couple of them; apart from being rubbish made from Chinese plastic, the connectors are usually much better then the blinking-problem stuff on the regular European and American NES, not every game works though (like all NOACS).
I'm going off-topic, but I agree, this can be a tricky one...
Just keep in mind when searching; The original famicom has FAMILY COMPUTER on the front and not VIDEO GAME.. (and says: Nintendo)

Is that in reference to that one eBay seller who could not have said "This is an empty box" many more times, and he still got something like $600 for it?Kyo wrote:enjoy your empty boxes when buying current gen consolesTorokun wrote:Yeah...
in my excitement, I failed to check out the details of the product throughly...
I laughed so hard at that. No offense, Torokun. But at least you didn't bid on an empty box.
Please keep an eye on my HBN64 progress.
