What is the best portable famiclone

[ulera]

So my school schedule this semester gives me over an hour of free time. On days when our schedules sync up I use this time to hang with friends, on days it doesn't I'd like to purchase a famiclone so I could kill the time with my favorite 8-bit games. I know there are several different portable famiclones, but which one gets the Famicom World seal of approval?

I second this question, I am still searching for the best way of playing 8-bit everywhere, but so far I only have GBA with supercard, but the GBA screen has wrong resolution for NES games.

I'd say PSP running custom firmware...  NES / Famicom games look great on it at 1:1

I'm wanting something that will run physical carts.

I own 1 of the sb z12 cheap chinese 2.5 inch ones
I dont know if i would say its high quality but for the price they are around $30 i think it was a good buy.

It is pretty chunky but is very comfortable to play, screen and controls arnt the best but do the job.
i would recommend one if you are on a budget but im sure there are much better more expencive machines this is just the only one i have used.

i dont think it would get the famicom world recommendation probably more of the dont buy stamp from most but i love mine and would drop $30 on another if this one broke.

I'm afraid none of the famiclones with real cartridge input was ever approved by Famicomworld comitee as a "best portable famiclone".
There simply isn't such a thing.

XiTaU can you do a photo of your clone? Or a website link...

EDIT: Some links of interest.

this guy didnt seem to like it but i do and for $30 i wouldnt expect the world

[ulera]

That's an Nes though, I was looking for a famicom.

[XiTaU]

the badged retro minis have a built in converter the sb z12 doesnt have that and is just ur standard famiclone.

[ulera]

Two slots or an adapter?

[XiTaU]

its just a standard famicom slot

i can take some photos if u wanna see it but it is just like the one in that vid i linked but with a famicom connector and not a nes connector

if u really want i can take some photos of it but as i said im sure its not the best but it is the cheapest ive seen online
maybe someone from Japan or China can find a better device for cheaper

whole device is about 5 inches long 2 1/2 high and 1 1/2 thick so its still very portable

bettery life is pretty good i use some rechargeables and lasts for hours

Can you run in SMB and press A comfortably?

[XiTaU]

yeah button configuration is very good its really easy to hold down a with the joint of the thumb and press b with the tip

I was playing on a Pokefami for a while. Made a video review here: http://youtu.be/QBwI6EbNT0Y

I paid about $40 for it and wouldn't recommend it. Had two copies, both screens started crapping out after about two weeks. Also, the controls are not as responsive as you would want for a game like Gradius, MegaMan 2, etc. Quality seems to be the biggest issue with these things.
