Kripto Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I can't believe no one's mentioned the awesome game systems from Casio- the PV-1000 and the Loopy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artlover Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 The PV-1000 was pretty much just a MSX clone of sorts. The specs were generally the same and most of the whopping 15 games for it were, <gasp>, MSX ports. That said, should it even count? Anywho, apparently the PV-1000 was a flop from the get go. It was, afterall, competing against the NES and Sega SG1000/SMS. Loopy! I had to look that one up. "Casio Loopy! Game Console For Girls". With only 10 or 11 (I've seen conflicting data saying both) games which were mostly all dating simulators. I will admit tho, the video capture and sticker printer accessories seem like they would have been neat. Considering both were only sold in Japan for very short periods of time, the likely hood of anyone actually owning one and anyone who did activily persuring homebrew on it is pretty slim I think.

Kripto Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Yeah, I was only kidding, but one could actually argue that the ColecoVision was an MSX at heart as well... What about the Apple/Bandai Pippin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artlover Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 but one could actually argue that the ColecoVision was an MSX at heart as well... You are correct. What is it about all the early Z80 based consoles & computers that made their specifications virtually identical? What about the Apple/Bandai Pippin? The funny thing was I was thinking of mentioning the Pippin in my previous post.. While considered a 5th generation game console, it's just a Mac Power PC in an Bandai case. It's design was to play interactive multi media CD's which could be played on a regular Mac computer (some on Windows too). One of the more pointless systems to ever be created I think.

darthkur Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I'm working on a homebrew version of Pitfall! for the TI-99. It's written in assembler and plans are to release -once finished- both a disk version and a cartridge version (limited quantity), The game itself is based on the colecovision version and is currently about 90% finished (still to do are scoring, adding title screen, adding all game screens and doing more bug-fixing). Plans are to have a final release ready in spring 2009. I would definitely love to get a copy of the cartridge version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Would anything written in basic on the ADAM count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 My Wii knockoff, the Chintendo Vii, has a cartridge port, but only one cartridge for it. No homebrews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbanes Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 My Wii knockoff, the Chintendo Vii, has a cartridge port, but only one cartridge for it. No homebrews. As I recall, the Chintendo is a Famiclone. Do Famiclones with custom controllers count? Because there are a LOT of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 How about the Atari Portfolio? (chat in a terminator thread made me think of this...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adventurevision - ??? Nomad - yes (it's just a hand-held Genesis) GBA - yes GP32/GP2X - yes (designed for them) DS - yes PSP - yes L'il late to say this now XD but the virtual boy has quite a bit (never said they were GOOD XD) i played one on mine some snowball game, anyhow the adventurevision apparently has a few i aint sure on that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitrofurano Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 The PV-1000 was pretty much just a MSX clone of sorts. The specs were generally the same and most of the whopping 15 games for it were, <gasp>, MSX ports. That said, should it even count? wrong - PV-1000 display tiles are stored on rom, and has 3kb of ram (display ram is accessable via cpu directly, not by i/o like from msx) - it hasn’t any kind of similarity with msx, except the use of z80 cpu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 No playable homebrew games on N64 besides a handful of period tech demos, although someone did wrote an NES emulator for the N64 Everdrive... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
