An unknown famicom system (clone)

i delete because someone change the title and tel it a clone sorry but it not a clone

 

Ahh.. It be a pirate Famicom and no mistake.

 

If it is a pirate it sure is a classy one. I mean, Konami logos andf everything! Very nice.

 

there are so many nice famiclones

Try entering the Konami code, maybe it unlocks a bunch of onboard games... or activates a self-destruct sequence, I don't know.

One of the first clones for sure (only early clones had hardwired controllers). I don't know if it's because of the picture quality, but the plastic of the console and the controllers looks crappier than most clones of that time.

 

A Konamicom? :thumbsup:

 

If those orange buttons are for autofire and work well, I'd say it's a serious improvement to the actual pad ^^
The only other autofire pad I can think of for the Famicom is the Hector '87 one by Hudson.

 

sorry to tell you it s not a famiclone ,
i have somme clone and the plastic is different
and the konami whrite is original !

ok today i open it to see the composant

 

It is a famiclone, the font used for Konami is not quite right and Famiclone makers have used other companies logos and text since the dawn of time.

Still you'll see when you open it.

 

The plastic varies with every clone, in some clones the plastic quality is as good as in the original console, and in others it's a mater of time before it cracks somewhere.

Anyway, it has autofire buttons, doesn't it? Then it's a clone. No original Famicom ever had them.

You do know you can print anything onto a board right? Also if it was real why would it have konami on the board and not a single nintendo printed on there?

The fact that Hyundai made the RAM means nothing. It's got a clone's PCB if I ever saw one and the CPU and PPU are presumably made by Unicorn Microelectronics of Taiwan.

 

Its a damn impressive clone. The PCB look pro.
However, the blue connector... odd.

 

your are incredible!!
i can make difference between a clone and a original system

have you open a clone famicom ? the qualitie is not like that !

 

It may be a nice clone, but that doesn't make it authentic.

Some clones are made as cheaply as possible. Others make more of an attempt to replicate the original. Older clones also would have to be closer to the original hardware as they wouldn't have had the benefit of NoaC tech.

I have to admit it feels like it has something about it that makes it official. Why would pirates bother to even write Konami on the PCB? The reason that "the quality is not like that" as you say, is probably because you're more familiar with the millions of clones that anyone can come across. This is an earlier clone as someone else pointed out, so maybe the effort was just much stronger back then?

Either way, since this hasn't been documented or known to anyone, it would seem most logical to say it's a clone for now. Especially how there's not a single credit to Nintendo anywhere on there.

 

why not write konami on the pcb ... it doesnt make a price difference printing another word on the pcb (pricewise)

 

anyone notices the orange ""Q.C" sticker on the heatsink in ops pics?
i wonder what that means?

 

If it was a Konami board then why isn't the Konami Logo and italised printed on the board? *ALL* Konami boards around this period have them. Also the UM chips were used on many pirate arcade pcbs of the day, if it was real then they would either be Nintendo or Konami chips (as Konami did get a lot of custom chips made...).

It's an early Famicom pirate being made in the late eighties and uses a copy of both main chips, remember that not all Nintendo Famicom clones are NOAC machines.

Konami made some great arcade games during the late 80s so no wonder a clone maker thought it would be a good idea to use the Konami name.

Quality Clone?
