Handy-Fami Eight. Portable NES clone that hooks up to GBA SP

[cheese007]

After 18 days of waiting, my Handy-Fami Eight finally arrived off of ebay. Let me tell you, this thing is SMALL! It's about the size of an N64 controller. It has two controller ports (plus built-in controls for on the go play) for playing on a TV, and even has AV in if for some strange reason you want to play your XBOX 360 on a 2 or so inch screen. Unfortunately, the AV in is screwed up right now in an attempt to fix a non-existent problem. Apparently the GBA port on the bottom is to get the thing to work, not so you don't have to remove it. You WILL need a converter to play NES games, which came with mine. But mine was used, so I don't know if it comes with one new. The clone itself is well built and the controllers are excellent. The hardware itself is a typical NOAC. Plays most games, but some probably wouldn't work correctly. Also, because of the over-sized NES carts, the single gets screwed up sometimes and occasionally freezes as well. Both the start and the select buttons light up when you press them (blue and white respectively) and the built-in controller works great. Hopefully the AV problem will be fixed soon soi I can test that. Pics should be up soon, I would get them up sooner but I have to get to bead and when I try to get on Photobucket my network connection dies and I have to restart the computer.

I remember these things. Speeway (I doubt he posts here anymore) bought one a long time ago. Here's a pretty good thread, with pictures, about it. I had it bookmarked haha.

Surprised he didn't mention the light-up buttons.
