Title: WTB/WTTF Micro Genius IQ-501
Post by: CloudGamerX on April 23, 2020, 10:02:28 am
Hello!
Lately, I have been on the lookout for the Micro Genius IQ-501, as I have been told that is the only famiclone in that style of shell, that isn't a NOAC. I have always been fascinated by the look of the Dendy Classic, but it was kind of disappointed to find out that it used a noac chipset.

I don't really need the controllers or the hookups, I just need the console. If anyone happens to have one, I would be willing to either purchase, trade, or do half and half.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,
CGX

By Dendy Classic you don't mean the IQ-502 model but the original Dendy in a IQ-501 mold?
I always thought those were 100% discrete. I know someone with about 10 Dendy (original model) console and they definitely are all discrete? If you go for a Dendy junior however it's much different and these are mostly if not all NoAC.

All of the Dendys I have seen, even with the IQ-501 shell, were NOACs. Though I did find out today that even the IQ-501 could potentially hold a NOAC. So, to be more accurate, I am looking for a discrete clone with that shell style.

What are you looking to get out of it?

There're also a lot of NOAC IQ-501s, I think they all switched to NOAC at some point.
