Anybody seen any of these around for sale?, I checked ebay but they all had famicom ports. I saw some around a few moths ago.

There are a few, but I can't seem to recall their names right now since I prefer original NES to clones for use on a TV. Especially since NES has a built in mini-game you play at the beggining of every game, called Super Cartridge Move - Blinking Red Light version. It's fun!!!

I got this just a couple of weeks ago:

ON EBAY

Not only does it have US controller ports but it also take US carts without an adapter. The sucker is tiny, especially the innards.

Yeah I have a Yobo like that too. They are great units. Mine has worked for over a year with no problems, and indeed, they do have US controller ports as well as a US cart slot.

Here's the insides of the Yobo in case you were wondering.

Wow, that is tiny. I may make a portable out of one of these.

Does anyone have the pin outs?

You should put the screen on the back and glue a controler on it. There you go another portable.

yeah, it seems like that would be pretty easy.

I wonder what the voltage requirements are.

The pinouts are really easy, they're labeled on the board itself.

thanks guys, I found them, but thats a good question what voltage does it take? I mean, whats it say on the wall adapter for output, can anybody tell me?

akadewboy · Post by **akadewboy** » Sat Feb 18, 2006 2:21 am

Well the wall adapter is overpowered, it's something like 9 volts. The resistors inside of the Yobo knock down the voltage to 5 volts. Just about every single NOAC runs at 5 volts.

I just registered for the forums today and was starting my very first NESp project. I've pretty much got all the parts except for the 4.5mm tact switches which I have to order online. I was doing the first steps by desoldering the junk on the original american NES and mine is in pretty bad shape. A lot of the solder has brown crap around it etc. I bought a couple of the psone screens to use as well as all the capacitors/resistors etc etc for the project. Would it be in my best interest to grab one of these 3rd party NES's since they are much smaller? Would it be easier for a total electronics newb to deal with? Thanks.

the Yobo NES is actually much easier to work with than the original; however, if this is your first, you may want to stick with your origninal NES mb, only because you may get confused with the pinouts of the yobo.

Thanks for the quick reply. I guess I will just stick with my NES... I've already put a good 150 bucks into this project.
