What's the best Famicom clone?

Lately, here in Japan, I can see a lot of crap FC clones, but  I wanna know the experts opinion
What's the best Famicom clone?

[133MHz]

The one that isn't based in a NOAC (they are extremely rare, but they do exist). I think the only way to identify them without opening them is by their weight (a cheap NOAC clone will weigh almost nothing).

Check this thread to see a very good Famiclone - Famicom-alike and based on UMC integrated circuits and discrete components, none of that NOAC gloptop shit.

Thanks a lot, man! I didn't realized that NOAC based clone can be identified by the weight - almost of all the clone are very light!

Here in Brazil I played one time with a Famiclone
called Good Boy which was very cool, very
competent! Very RARE!

My preferred Famiclone is the brazillian Dynavision 3!
It has good joysticks and is dual slot! You can play
NES and Famicom without any gadget between
the carts and your console!

It looks so cool! Does it have AV output?

Yeah! I'm Chilean but my mother had traveled to Brazil before (and she speaks Portuguese) and so I know about the Gradiente and Dynacom-made NES clones, they are very good systems! as you might expect of home appliance companies like Gradiente . 60/72 pin compatibility and made with real ICs like original consoles, also they were very good looking . Unfortunately they are PAL systems and so they won't work on NTSC countries

God Damned, Profeta! Caralho!
You have this console! When I was living in Brazil I used to play that in a friend's house, I can remember we playing the both 60 and 72 pins carts on the same console without any adapter, that was  really cool!
I envy you, man! Let's deal this console(just kidding )

Regardless of its preformance, I vote the Dynavision 3 for best looking Famiclone ever fucking made. just LOOK AT THAT THING! Even if it wont work in Canada, I'm going to have to track one down now anyway. Profeta Yoshitake if you can, please provide us with additional pictures of that console, as well as Famicom World with a review of it.

That Dynavision thing is THE coolest Famiclone I've ever seen. Bar none, no more calls please, we have a winner.

If your in the market for a fairly good Famiclone that won't set your pocketbook back too much, check out the Yobo FC Game Console. Its frequently found on ebay under "top loader NES" or something of the sort. The US version simply called the FC game console is improved over the Japanese Neo Fami and is more of an NES clone than a Famiclone, so if your looking for Famicon specific, get the Neo Fami. Here's my review of it: http://www.famicomworld.com/Pirated/Yobo.htm

AFAIK somebody fucked up the electronic design on the Yobo pretty bad (they assumed all carts shorted CHR /A13 and CIRAM /CE together so they shorted those internally and didn't bring the signal to the cart connector, also omitted a ground point which causes some voltage issues) so games which depend on those lines won't work, so even a cheap Famiclone is better in that aspect

What games would those be? The only game I've found that wont work on the Yobo at all is Castlevania 3 which seemingly wont work with any Famiclone. Yet, its japanese version works fine. I like the Yobo as a cheap Famiclone that weighs absolutely zero. Hey do you think you might be able to overclock one of those?!

If the CPU and the PPU are two separate units, of course!

The NASA entertainement sytem RULES! It plays all games, including CastleVania 3, it's light, small and looks like a NES!

[133MHz]

My cousin had one of those! Yeah it rules, it takes 60 and 72 pin cartridges, it has a 'slim' NES form factor and takes standard NES peripherals! But opened one up one and it is a NOAC Famiclone. If it plays Castlevania 3 then it doesn't suffer from the CHR /A13 & CIRAM /CE flaw the Yobo and the NEX (i think) suffer.
