    Hi all,
    This is abit of an unusual request I know, but I just wondered if anybody had any pictures/scans of the insides on an iQue Player? (front and back of the motherboard if possible, and maybe even the insides of the flash card or multiplayer box aswell?) I'm just curious about what parts were similar/different to the N64 and want to compare the two. I have looked everywhere online and cant find anything so was hoping someone here might have some pics/scans.

    I hope its ok to ask this in this forum - I didnt see anywhere else this thread would really fit.

    Thanks in advance :icon_bigg

    I've been planning on getting one forever, but all the retailers here are charging exorbitant prices for the console.

    I found some good deals on Taobao, so when I receive one I'll happily pop it open and take some pictures for you.

    Exorbitant by Chinese standards? How much does it go for?

    That would be fantastic :dance:

    I dont know how much it sells for in China, but theres one on eBay right now with a 'buy it now' of $89.99 including shipping. However an iQue bundle sold a little while ago on eBay for $75 which included two iQue Players and the Family Package 'multiplayer box':-

    If the GBP wasnt worth so little now I would have consider bidding on it myself:crying:

    Well, on most places you could get the iQue player for around 300RMB without the multiplayer box and games...in the department stores at "official" iQue outlets with charge stations to download games they want around 700RMB for the system itself. It's really quite ridiculous, especially by Chinese standards and for such an old piece of hardware.

    I'm looking for a good deal to purchase one on but I just got a boxed Super Famicom with Super Mario World, so I'm afraid I'll have to wait until the beginning of April. At that time I'll take photos of a complete unpacking of the system and the insides for you gentlemen.

    Thanks for the link - never came across that before!

    Not to seem ungrateful but its a shame they havent got any full pictures of the rear of the board, or any closeups pictures :crying: If possible I was kind of hoping to be able to read some of the chip codes etc.

    Perhaps moribund112 would still consider taking some closer pictures of both sides of the board etc if/when you get an iQue? :pray:
