Guys, stop spreading misinformation.

It's not photoshopped, it's not fake, it's not a famiclone. It is a real clone that works. It is not a SNOAC. Do some research on the issue.

Reploid: I really have no idea what the hell you're talking about. The SNES is not " 2 8-bit processors fused into one."

I realize you're going to respond with something like "i dont care what anyone says, that is what the SNES is. and no chinese pirate places understand how to make a one chip snes replacement/emulator. so can we drop any thought of a SNOAC." but you can save that for somebody else.

Provide some sources or stop spreading crap.

Sorry guys but this thread is over a month old and posting "Yeah, your right man!" is not contributing to it. Turbo Tax, you could send Gannon a PM or email asking that question.

Text clearly photoshopped, and look where the logo should be on the controller, someone used smudge and blur.

Your gonna get a mini, lol.

I have some more details to point out that I don't think anyone else has noticed yet. They're all about the controller. I hope I don't get in trouble for posting here...

Use this picture of a first party SNES controller for reference:
Image

1. Look at the controller's Start and Select buttons in the picture of the "clone." They have small, faded white lines on the top of them. The fade leads me to believe it's not just a glare.

2. Look closely at the plastic of the controller. It has small dimples in it; this is common of a third party SNES controller.

3. Perhaps the most important and most noticable difference, is the D-Pad. It's much "fatter" on the clone's controller. On first party SNES controllers, it's not as filled out. The four "arms" extend further from the middle of the pad.

These small differences lead me to believe it is surely a third party controller, and they don't usually pair up a first party console with a third party controller in product shots... :wink:

The only reason "they" (pirates) haven't been able to produce an SNESOAC yet is because they can't access the information needed to reverse-engineer the SNES's APU since it was produced by Sony. However, I think the patent has about run out for it... so the SNESOACs may very well start rolling in... finally.
