Dumb Question...What Is an NOAC?

Jeff · Post by **Jeff** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 8:58 pm

Guessing its one of the Super Joy ones, but I would like to know what it stands for/what it is.

It stands for Nintendo On A Chip. Its an entire nes system condensed on a tiny chip.

it has a famicom <jap nes) cartrige slot on the back of it you can replace it with a nes one or buy an adapter and play your nes games on it its hardware clone (not enulation) the quality of the clone verys on each one indivisually they usually are pretty good they go by meny names but most are shaped like a N64 controller super joy is an exsample of one

meny people use them to make a portable nes

No, the NOAC has no cartridge slot. You have to attach one to it. The Super Joy does have a Famicom slot though

And MOST are not shaped like N64 controllers, just the Super Joy line and a few others. They have them in a ton of shapes, one for basically every system that has come out since (except ones like the Lynx, Game Gear, Jaguar, 3D0, and Nomad) I want the PSone shaped one, myself.

There are many different NOACs, of varying quality, as peppers said. Most are little blobs on circuit boards though nowadays. They're really fantastic little beasts, considering. Nintendo should really have come out with their own and been done with it.

many, including many super joys, do have a famicom 60 pin cart slot. buy an adapter from gannon.tk to play your NES games!

^ I think he was bringing up the fact that the NOAC doesn't have a cartridge slot, while many devices that contain the NOAC (superjoy and such) do.

gannon: Yep. Indeed.

I wanted to get peppers to understand the difference between a Super Joy and an NOAC but apparently that confused SOMEONE

that was implyed sence it would be hard to get the chip by itsself not already embedded inside some sort of devise and most devises that have one have the slot and the ezest to find at least in america are shaped like n64 controllers "HK-47" told him what it was if you want one you look for something like I discribed I dont know why an argument has to be started over a technicality although this is the internet so I should expect it

peppers: The thing is, he didn't ask how to get one- he wanted to know what it was. And yes, HK-47 answered properly but then you confused the issue, so I was merely backing him up. Wasn't trying to start a fight, just trying to help stop false information from spreading. I'm sure through all the info on this thread, Jeff is now well-learned in the topic though
