All NES games on YOBO??
I wonder if all the US NES games work on YOBO clone or not. If there are games that that don't work, does a full list of them exist? I'm thinking of buying one to portablise but I should know about it first. Any help is appreciated.
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Game_ConsoleWhile the system works with most US games, individuals have reported problems with a few (primarily Castlevania III, Gauntlet, and Mindscape games) due to special in-cartridge hardware being incompatible with the NES-on-a-Chip ASIC.
There are also serious audio reproduction inaccuracies which cause music and sound effects in most games to play incorrectly or not at all. The model of NES-on-a-Chip used in the system provides comparatively inferior audio compared to many other famicom clone systems.
The system also suffers from particularly serious slowdown issues evident in stressful games. These audio and slowdown issues are particularly apparent in games like Kirby's Adventure which feature stressful CPU operations and complex audio.
On the compatability list for the generation nex, there are 21 games that don't work. The yobo supposedly has slightly better compatability, so there are probably around 15 games that don't work on it.
If you want a small NES with perfect compatability, you can try to find an official toploader. But those tend to run about 75USD, and the motherboard is a lot bigger (same width and slightly taller than a cartridge).
