The most durable NES clone?

Post by Frizo »

I would like to know something.
What is the most durable NES clone? By durable I mean that it will not break easily. I would prefer if it is one board, or if it is several boards connected by ribbon, it needs to be durable ribbon. Thank you for any help at all.

Be patient, this isn't really an "active" forum.

Let's see..I've only worked with a Yobo and the Retro bit systems. The yobo has all on one board (but has terrible sound)...but must be kinda finicky, as I somehow fried one with nothing.

The retro bit is pretty hardy, the only real downside to it is that it requires a separate video amp.

Which type of Yobo?
Because Yobo made the Factor-5, which broke by me trying to fix it :/

Anywhere around 4-5 inches square, I guess.

So it looks like the FC Yobo you are talking about?
The USA version, not the FC version :P

Okay, the FC Yobo isnt one board. Saw the guts of a friends. I am looking for a clone with all of the stuff on ONE BOARD!
Any Ideas? If it has ribbons, they need to be STRONG! help?

the yobo can actually be reduced to only one board. It is very easy too.

It's quite simple, just trace the video/audio/power leads from the plugs to were they connect on the middle board. I think I had a picture of which lead was which in my PNES mark1 thread..I'll search that out and see if it's still there.

EDIT!

Found it!
