Here's the info I charted up:, apparently it's made by the same people who produced the Radica (or so it seems). It's a 44 pin mask ROM with the same VCC and Ground lines...

25 total data/address pins used

**Unused pins on GG EDGE pinout**

1 +34v
26 RD
27 EXM 2
36 M1
37 IORQ
38 RFSH
39 RESET
40 CCLK
41 JMPR MS/GG mode (GND)
42 JMPR MS/GG mode
43 VCC (+5v) for GG (not TV) mode
44 TV right audio
45 TV left audio

As you can see I traced the data to my GG rom. All the games use the same 32 pin chip which has 25 used data lines. The pinout on the Playpal has 31 useable data lines though so I'm not sure what the extras are for. It definitely isn't as simple as the Radica pinout :/

Good luck folks, I'm gonna try my hands with the LCD version b/c it should have RGB :)

Hmm, How much is store price? (And How much is shipping to Ontario, Canada)

Also, what do you mean "Give" me one of your "working" ones.

If give means for free, Hell ya. I'd take one

Im just confused on what you mean by "working" :p Don't tell me theyre broke, or something.

EDIT: Hmm, Whats RGB? Also, does the little Sonic handheld (The one without the screen), come with a A/V AKA RCA Cord? (hehe, I see a TINY multi portable coming from this

, as I have a TINY Atari Keychain, that plays 3 games. Its a PLUG IN PLAY)

If the price is too much for one of the sega sonic things, maybe we can work out a trade. That Atari thing I mentioned is up for trade. (Comes with RCA cables)

If you are in Canada you should go to Waltmart or Costco. They are actually mainly retailed in Canada. See here:

Hmm, I'll see if I can pick one up.

Hmm, Walmart.ca doesnt even have any of them :S.
Now to try Costco.ca

Costco doesnt even have it either. Neither of them sell any Plug in Plays at all. :S

Now, I have to like go to walmart. I hate costco.
Grrr. And now spend money I dont have. Anyone willing to trade either PlayPal? (The one with a screen, or the one shaped like sonic?)

Weird that they don't have any. I can trade you one without the screen that works if you have something I want :/ I need a hip gear LCD...got one of those? Let me know if you have any portablization stuff. Other than that I am only looking for really expensive arcade games :/ Or sonic collectibles of course, lol.

If you REALLY want i can probably buy one and mail it to you. I'm sure it would cost at least $20 with tax and shipping though :/

I have a hipgear screenpad. Its the gamecube version, BUT I'm not totally sure if it works. Last time I used it, it did. I tried to use it as a screen for a portable but, the wires connecting the screen board to the motherboard fell off. If I recall the wires that got disconnected were the
the Ground, Left Sound, Right Sound, Audio Ground.

The wires didnt completely fall off, but they just came disconnected on one side, so yes the wires are still intact, just not connected to the other board.

I also, have my minature atari keychain. USED To see what it looks like, check out my post here. http://benheck.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=18537

I also have 3 512 SD cards. Lastly, I have a Official Nintendo of Japan Collection Famicom TV remote. Basically, its a Famicom controller, that can be used as a TV remote. (Its ONLY a tv remote, not a Famicom Controller) The box is in japanese, and it even comes with NES Super Mario Bros. Stickers. UNOPENED.

I also have a white Ipod Shuffle 2nd Generation (smaller square one) clone. Its white, and takes SD cards. USED.

I also have a sega genesis, that has a sound problem. Yet it comes with about 10 games.
