but there was this fucking metal weight loose inside which was rattling around in shipment and broke the ribbon cable off one of the 2 PCBs. even if I bridge the pins connected to the power switch on the main PCB it doesn't seem to work. someone spotted that C37 seems to have been broken off as well
I have several of these SD card accepting VT-chip-based famiclones already, I've been trying to document the ones on the market https://museum.12bit.club/SD_card_VT_consoles
This is in line with the others in terms of capability, it can run mapper 0 and 3 and a small number of VTxx .bin files
oh when i said Mapper 0 and 3 two posts ago I meant 0 and 4, as in NROM and MMC3. sorry for spreading misinformation etc etc
@lion oof, forced upscaling filters?
@lion eww
@lion christ I remember this from imockery back in the day

as for the hardware itself... you may have noticed it has HDMI output. the video is upscaled with a hq3x filter applied to it. the audio is pretty bad and seemingly missing the native DPCM channel altogether. so I couldn't exactly recommend this as a way to play NES games. It is interesting though!
