Attack of the clones!

[BSA Starfire]

Just though I'd share these two recent pick-ups with you fine folks.

 

 

This is a Russian Sega Megadrive/Genesis clone, check out the Pokemon on back of box! What's with that? Anyhow this is a really neat console. Uses a GOAC SM 801A, the sound is fine, and it has an overclock switch along with PAL/NTSC, 50/60 Hz & language switches on the bottom. The 2 included 6 button pads are really OK, not the usual shite. I have tried this out with Japanese, USA and UK games and it runs them all flawlessly, the overclock really helps F22 & LHX in the frame rate stakes.

 

 

This Famicom clone I bought at a local carboot sale for £1, gotta love the N64 syle case it comes packed in. Anyhow this is also kinda cool, it's cart compatible with the famicom and comes with a 101-1 cart. Many of these games are copyrighted 2001/2002, however loads of classics on here.

 

Anyhow, just thought I'd share some less often seen consoles.

I love that Russian Megadrive clone. I wonder if it's even entirely a clone? It may be using actual tooling from the Genesis 3. May I ask where you got it?

What would be interesting is to list the working clones.

Cheapo NOAC clones are bullshit;

For example, your Megadrive clone iis interesting, if it can run all/most of the Megadrives games properly.

Many Megadrive clones today are poor, with bad color, almost always a bad sound (mono, noisy, and some instruments not playing).

 

So it would be nice to know which clones does a job as good as the expensive Retron and other high profile clones but for cheaper.

No problems, it came from eBay UK, the seller has a bunch of them. Highly recommended for the price.

The PSU He supplies is an original Atari Jaguar PSU, kinda neat too.
