HELP: What kidn of joy / DTV is this ?

Post by espskog » Tue Sep 14, 2010 3:12 pm

Hi!
I hope someone can help me here....

I bought this dirt cheap more than 10 years ago and took it out of the drawer today to examine it. I have not used it for ages.
I figured it would be cool to know what type of DTV this is.

I have googled my butt off, but can not find anything that is 100% similar. I recon this is a megajoy or a superjoy or something. It has the words AW991 JUL.22.99 on the PCB but that is all.

It has no option for batteries. It takes 6 volts. It came with an extra controller (connects to the 9 pin dsub on the DTV) and it has like 70 games or so (similar to the megajoy and superjoy). It also came with a lightgun (the silver one seen with other similar objects).

What I am wondering is: Is this a mega joy 1, 2 og a superjoy ? I cannot seem to find images on the web that has the same housing as this one.

And can I use the cartridge slot for something ?

Allright, here are the links for the pictures of the unit:

Looks like a Mega Joy II variant to me. Note the A and B buttons acting as Start and Select in particular.

Thanks. Are there any cool hacks or mods that can be done to this unit ?
I see on the PCB that it has 6 solder-pads (test points?) whereas 3 of them are
linked together (GND?). JTAG ?

Recasing it and adding a battery and screen?
