NES CLASSIC MINI CLONE EU VERSION

[yeeshen33]

Do you think it is possible to use real Minis PCB in the fake mini shells,
I would like to like to replace  it with those used real PCB.

[NintendoKing]

You can buy a Raspberry Pi 3 for it, but you wouldn't be able to find just a PCB from a NES Classic. You could buy a loose system for $130 though rather then the usual $250 and just place it in your clone box?

Bebop, Chinese companies only build clone hardware to look nice for sales reasons. They never build it to function well, otherwise where's the profit margin? The only clone I've ever received from China that was of a decent quality was Sport Vii, the pseudo-clone of Wii.

The Uninvited Gremlin yepp sadly but true.

Have someone notice that if you now seach for nes or nintendo on aliexpress, nothing shows up even if i know controllers, games and accessories that are still up for sale and have nes or nintendo words in description? or is just in my browser?

I'd just install a Raspberry Pi and wire the power with led to the system, then add a extender for the HDMI and MicroUSB power, then add a couple USB ports. It would look very factory still but actually be quite amazing.

  this was kinda funny

I think the 500 in game clone and the 30 in game knockoff made a baby
This at least dont fool any body to be a real one

Haha that new one is really messing with my head and equilibrium.
Its giving me serious vertigo and nausea

I wonder how the insides of this look 

[Bebop]

Yea when i look on this its feel weird but the funniest thing is that they think people are gonna buy them for $99 that the most seller priced them for except for this one in the link below that have them for sale right now for $36.

I think Nintendo have been really hard on some of these factories after the news got out that they copied the design.

Now that in itself is nothing new - but it directly contradicts their 'not enough parts' statement so adds some pressure..

[Bebop]

You can now buy the 30 built in game knockoff on Dhgate but for $84 for a single unit at least the give you free shipping with DHL that are kinda fast

Now that in itself is nothing new - but it directly contradicts their 'not enough parts' statement so adds some pressure..

When did they claim that?  I thought their official excuse was "we didn't feel like making more" or "we didn't know people would want it".

[L___E___T]

 



It could be a case of chimes whispers, but I heard they also said there weren't enough parts to make them anyway (thereby swerving the pressure to just reconsider and make more considering the demand).  Then again, could just be something I saw someone quote on Nintendo Age, that was never truly said.  It obviously doesn't hold any water in any case

Hi guys im new here
I have bought one of these to when i first got it it did trick me untill i booted and the interface was shocking definitely not hd so i then striped it down to find the board was not real so i decided to remove the board keep the power switch and ports and then put in a pi zero w £5 and im trying to do emulationstation theme for the pi zero i didn't think the original would be up to it as i noticed lag on audio but without access to the board from pc just show format f:\in windows wouldn't be able to tell if it was just the audio file

[obirux]

From what i'm aware Nintendo didn't build the mini classic(s) as a major release and more in the bracket of a novelty toy with a focus or set production in mind
I think they didn't realise the market that was there or may be they did its anyone's guess, well they for sure know now  

Personally i think they already had a plan to release the 2 (or however many) mini classic(s) side by side and why they wanted to stop production on one and move to the other

Don't quote me on any of the above, just how i see it played out  

If anyone has an Official nes mini classic i'm still in the market for one  

[jonny555]

I see they must have developed the board as these and the ports are the only big differences that might be why there not put in the real board  can we wire the ports to usb

[Lupin the Third]

You might be better off swapping out the connectors with USB  ports altogether. I really doubt those could be made to be USB compatible without a special adapter on them (Mayflash's, for example)

No one covered this before, but the video output on this almost-real-looking clone is just 480/SD, not 720p like Nintendo's? I expect that nonsense from the 500-in-1s that probably just have an NES-on-a-chip and an HDMI converter on the PCB, but the one with th navigable menu and all is SD, too?
