Anyone seen one of these before? Coolest looking pirate console that I've laid eyes on. It has a built-in joystick and it plays famicom and megadrive games too.

thats freaking awesome!
-
I've never seen or heard of one of these before. It looks totally insane.
-
24-bit, hahaha. Yeah right.
-
what an odd combination. The MD and FC don't share much common hardware; a combination would seem wasteful.
I'd think a pirate neo geo/genesis combos would make more sense, but pirateers don't seem interested in the neo.
-
24-bit, hahaha. Yeah right.
Sure...if you add the 8-bit 6502 clone with the 16-bit Motorola 68000...hey look, 24 bits! :D
-
Nope, I've never seen it before. Awesome.
-
Wow that's sweet.
-
It's actually 32-bit.
8+8+16
(There have to be at least 3 processors in that clone: 6502, Z-80, 68000)
-
how to manage 2 players?
-
That's kinda cool, but it's likely a famicom-on-a-chip plus a megadrive-on-a-chip rather than a full blown hardware clone. I'll bet that it has limited compatibility and looks, sounds, and/or controls like shit.
24-bit, hahaha. Yeah right.
That's called SNK (or Jaguar) logic.

I wonder if anyone here is gonna get these? :-s
And the thread title was a bit misleading, Rolins. I thought you were putting up a thread for Internet dating. :roll:

Or Virtual Boy logic :)

Huh? They marketed it as 32 bit and it had a 32 bit processor, didn't it? :-k
-
I thought it had two 16-bit processors :-k
-
I'm pretty sure the V-boy has a 32bit risc processor
Edited to add info from a site about hacking and programming for the VB:
Processor: NEC V810 (Part# uPD70732)
32bit RISC 20mHz Clock speed / 18MIPS 1Kbyte instruction cache Vdd = 2.2 - 5.5V DC 1Mbyte DRAM 512Kbyte P-SRAM
Display: RTI (Reflection Technology Inc) SLA (P4)
384x224 resolution (4 color with 32 levels of Intensity)50.2Hz h-scan
Sound: 16bit Stereo (with built in stereo speakers)

I'd buy one. Would be nice show piece.

That's what I was thinking, Missa, except for the four color thing. I don't know what they mean, 'cause the LED's have two settings: red and off.
-
actually, the LEDs have 3 shades of red (bright, not so bright, dim) and off.
I also find it interesting that the FX and the VB have the same processor. I wonder if a VB emulator could be made for the FX...

I don't want to sidetrack the thread any more, but personally I only play V-boy games on the console itself. I don't know how any emulator could give you the sense of 3-d, which is the only reason I ever play it. I did find it interesting though that the V-boy has a NEC processor. Be glad NEC didn't make the system itself and decided to call it the Virtual Grafx or something. I do with the V-boy had more vector games like the unfinished f-zero game. I love red alarm a lot! The Wario platformer is really interesting, I recently saw a Mario game on the Wii or a DS (I forget which) in a store and the way the game was designed, it totally reminded me of Warioland. The boxing game is hard as hell, but very fun still too. Too bad V-Tetris sucks :( How is a 2-d tube 3-d?
-
ya, that boxing game is hella hard! I can beat the first dude, but not the second. He keeps lowering is head and then punching me :x . I enjoyed mario tennis a lot, haha. It was a great pack-in :)
