Title: looking for info on a rare? Super Joy 3
Post by: d-a-v-i-d on December 30, 2010, 12:57:24 pm
I recently found a few of these N64 style controller clones.  The first one I found was white and had a built in light gun.  It had the connection for playing FC cartridges.  Then I think I found one without the lightgun, but still had a slot for plugging in cartridges.  The one I'm curious about is different than the others I mentioned and I haven't been able to find any info on the web about it.  So this Super Joy 3 is red colored.  Underneath it where the cartridges normally go is a cover that isn't meant to be opened.  So of course I removed it and found it still has the famicom connector pins.  And it has an actual famicom game chip inserted in it - the chip is the "76,000" games.  So I opened my rare gyromite game with the built in famicom to NES adapter, and installed the super joy 3 chip.  It works as a game on my original Nintendo.  So I'm curious about any kind of info people have on this version of the super joy 3.  So far I can only find info about the ones that are meant to have famicom carts inserted.  Anyone know if the super joy 3 LX has a verion with this kind of chip installed?  Any and all replies are appreciated!

Yeah, these are the new kind, and they are starting to mass produce them. I saw a penguin famiclone in the mall the other day.  :)

Yeah. The new Joys don't have battery cases, and you can insert carts without filing down nubs.

How long ago were they released? I bet my mall won't carry them. :/
