The appearance of the prototype of the NES prototype made to promote
verification of functions and software development.

and an image processing circuit module.

A very rare look at a prototype of the Famicom (Japanese version of the NES)
Taken around 1982-1983.
Everything's on separate boards to test individual components.
One board for the PPU, one board for the CPU, one board for the APU, etc.

Use google translate, interesting history.

 

The interface to the 6502 ICE looks nice
