NES and SNES in a new portable?

Post by Robotron »

Okay, this little One Station game console was something my friend picked up on the cheap in the philipines.

he brought it home to finland and lo and behold, it was a NOAC, but also, played some form of 16 bit games with much larger colour pallettes..


could there be some sort of GBA or SNES piracy inside?

I heard it was pretty lame. The screen is blurry, not very reactive...

in the words of my friend "best screen i've seen in a while"

but he opened it up. There is nothing inside but a screen, a speaker, and the buttons.

The games and the CPU are onboard the cartridges.

Which means they have a NOAC or some equivalent inside each of those little things, and some form of chip in the 16 bit cartridges..

that chip is something i'd like to get a hold of a datasheetfor.

I saw one of these things at a local tech store, and I picked it up ($30-ouch). I went home and opened it up, and lo and behold, it's some kind of on-a-chip. By my guess, it's an NOAC, but I've been wrong before. So here's my review:

Screen: Not bad, actually. Pretty clear and backlit TFT.

Games: 75 built-in games that are all knock-offs of some game or another. Like most NOACs, they're crap.

Controls: Kinda unreactive, but not to the point of unplayable.

Sound: Tinny and repetetive. Then again, what did you expect?

I'd say it's not a bad little product, but it's not worth the $30 I paid for it if you aren't gonna hack it. The on-a-chip itself is SUPER tiny, about 3/4 the size of a Super Joy, so if pinouts ever were drawn up, it could make for a really tiny NES or Genesis portable.

Sounds pretty good, CronoTriggerFan. How many pins are there on the cartridge slot, though? If it has 60 then maybe a Family Converter will work with it?

No cart slot. It'd be like the Radica, where you have to write up your own pinouts for it.
