Hi, as i told you guys, i'm just back from China, i indeed bought some Unlicenced & Pirated FC games from there,
but i bought one more thing, A CUSTOM FAMICOM.
This Famicom is indeedly WEIRD! Since it's made by an official corporation in China, it can consider as Unlicenced instead of Pirated! The company who made this custom Famicom is: SHENZHEN SOGOOD Co. Ltd.
*BY THE WAY, in 2003 Nintendo Co. Ltd had stopped making the famicom systems among with it's services because of the FAMICOM TECHOLOGY is expired of it's copy right. That means that ANY FAMICLONES(PIRATES FCs) MADE AFTER 2003 IS LEGAL!
And somehow, they added a custom OS to the System( the SOKA 2000 OS), among with a mouse, so it can be easily controlled by the mouse instead of Game-PADS! The mouse is plug into the 2nd controller Jack.
And please suggest prices, and again, Bargain is absolutly fine! Please comment or leave a PM!
there is few softwares added with the SOKA 2000 OS, they are:

Very cool. Is it black and white only or is your TV black and white for some reason?
Regardless, it's not a Famicom. It's just a clone, but I really like these clones that have the mini-OS in them.
oh, when i tested in china it was full colors, the background was blue, and the start bar was grey, but in canada, it's black and white, i think my tv is messed up!!

lol, at least its not a pirated one!!
Uhh..yeah it is.
Well, I guess the point is that it might not be pirated in the sense that it was made after the expiration of Nintendo's patent. But it's definitely a clone.
Looks like a variant of the infamous Windows 2000 cart.
Looks like you can buy them here: http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=hp&hl=en&js=y&u=http%3A%2F%2Fcn.made-in-china.com%2Fchina-products%2FproductviewgDEQdSxOaJwn%2F%25E5%25AD%25A6%25E4%25B9%25A0%25E6%259C%25BA%25EF%25BC%2588SG-M16%25EF%25BC%2589.html&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&history_state0= (http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=hp&hl=en&js=y&u=http%3A%2F%2Fcn.made-in-china.com%2Fchina-products%2FproductviewgDEQdSxOaJwn%2F%25E5%25AD%25A6%25E4%25B9%25A0%25E6%259C%25BA%25EF%25BC%2588SG-M16%25EF%25BC%2589.html&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&history_state0=)

lol, that looks like a import source for stores, if that site is some thing like ebay,
i will...
.....man, just post this somewhere else...lol...that ruins my buisniss!!! :) but since thats import source for stores, oh well. :-\
Ah! Some observations:
1. That's a run of the mill edutainment clone. Actually it's less desirable in China because people tend to want systems that use the original style NES gamepads over PSX style clones. But thankfully Subor sells spare pads and most are interchangeable between consoles. Here is a model which is quite popular:

2. The color is black and white because most of China uses PAL and your trying to display PAL on an NTSC television. At least I'm pretty sure this is what is happening.

Anyone have screenshots of that?

any others who's intersted??
How much would you like for it?
lol, i really don't know!
please suggest price!
or suggest the things that u want to trade me for!
I don't think you're going to get any offers on this...couldn't you just give an estimate or something on how much you're willing to sell it for? Also, is this an NTSC or PAL system?
Sounds like a PAL system given the symptoms of it turning Black and White outside of China.
that happens if you play 60hz on a 50 hz TV too, so it could be the other way round even, if it were a PAL territory like HK or Malaysia.
The original post clearly states it's B&W b/c the TV itself is B&W.
I forgot about that but my above post still is true
He says his TV is black and white but that statement is misleading. In a following post he states that in China it displayed color, but on his TV back in Canada it is black and white. He figures that was due to his crappy TV. I however, think it is because of PAL/NTSC issues because no one in the right mind manufactures B/W TVs anymore (^_^);
hmm, i don even know maybe you are true.
China does indeed use Pal.
yeah, indeed!
and what's the diffrence?? between PAL and NTSC???
main difference is that PAL runs @ 50 hz, NTSC @ 60hz. NTSC I think has a slightly larger picture resolution as well but I don't care about that, so long as I don't have to play rockman 2 in slow mode 50 hz.. Then again, that's the system not the tv.
yeah, i was play super mario bros in China and it got slower!
Ha, us PAL suckers had to play ALL games like that, then again in 16 bit. Sonic's just not the same in 50hz...
bump!!
Yeah, they have all kinds of variants of these in China. They are really cool. There's even a 16bit one. Or at least its advertised as such, not that you can trust it to be true. Could have been a Master System clone, but I'm assuming it was a famiclone with a 16bit OS...
Is there any way to make a PAL system work right on an NTSC TV? I know next to nothing about electronics, but had a PAL DVD that worked fine on a NTSC TV with a DVD player by switching some options. What if you ran the system through a DVD player like that? I'm guessing a real converter would be expensive.
yup, i think so, eather mod it or just link it to your tv normally, but it might be black and white...
so
So got any buyers yet? Thought something like this would go fast. With that hilarious Windows game, its the coolest famiclone I've ever seen. I'd buy it myself, but I'm already getting one.
lol, not yet, oh by the way, are you taiwanese?
from wat parts?
I'm American, but I've been studying Chinese in Taiwan after teaching a year in China. I commend anyone who's ever learned a second language, particularly an eastern one or vise versa if your from Asia. Its HARD! Anyway, just got back from China? What were you doing there...studying, teaching, working, visiting...?
oh, i'm a highschool student from canada, but i'm taking Mandrain in my school as an option, few month ago i just went back to china for the HSK scholorship trip. its a free trip,
and i probebly have a chinese background, so
i thought ur Taiwanese for a second, so...
Just wanted to contribute a bit to this thread...That clone system is indeed PAL....The Apex Tv's (as seen on his photos) can handle the 50Hz (I have one)...The clone system color frequency will not be supported though (again, as seen on the photos, giving the black & white screen)...Most CRT NTSC Tv sets can't even handle 50Hz, so a rolling screen picture will appear instead....
A mod might be possible but complicated, and some PAL to NTSC converters may not like this clone picture, sadly....
Nevertheless, good luck with the sale...
I have a PAL keyboard. I got it to work okay with a cheap ($20) PAL to NTSC converter. You'll need a TV that can adjust vertical hold to use it, since the picture will scroll on a tv that doesn't allow you to.
Yes, or as I mentioned, a TV that you can adjust the vertical hold on. ;)
lol, thanks for the tips guys!
