Hi

I recently got a console which is labeled "TV MASTER GAME" (see image). Quick research tells me it is made by TIMETOP. I came with two cartridges. It can play Famicom games without problems.

It struggles however with it's own cartridges. It classically glitches parts of the screen. The amount of corruption is for both games about the same. The cartridges appear to be non standard. So far they don't run on other Famiclones and they quit working if I put them through a FC to NES to FC adaptor chain. The console then seems to short or something, as it won't power on in this configuration (which is also the behavior for the other Famiclones).

Does anyone of you know the system? Is there a way to run them outside of the TV Master?

If I am stuck, I would attempt to re-flow the console itself.

With kind regards

it seems to be a 16 bit/8 bit hybrid which just goes into 8 bit games upon getting a FC cart. I must quit testing, I fried the unit while re-flowing (it's a epoxy blob system, irreparable).

Oh shit!

I actually want one of these, I have a couple of their cartridges but no machine to run them on.

The games might be one of those enhanced FC architectures, hence why they don't run on regular Famiclones.

It's really very sad this is fried, Ive been trying to find one for years.
