Thread: portable Famiclone

    portable Famiclone

    I'm looking for a portable Famiclone with a 60pin cartridge slot. Very important are the controls and the quality of the screen, because these are often bad. An AV output would be nice, too.

    I spotted a few clones on eBay, but I'm not sure about the quality.

    FC Mobile:
    It's available quite cheap, but I don't like the PlayStation d-pad.



    Game Axe:
    old, big and poor screen quality.




    PocketFami:
    This is the most interesting device imo.




    I'm quite sure there are a lot more portable Famiclones available. If you know more, please post it here.

    I got my friend a PocketFami for Christmas. It had audio issues right out of the box. Sound was crunchy, like it had a blown speaker... only it was crunchy through headphones as well.

    He actually gave it back to me a week later. What a jerk.

    I had the game axe, don't buy it, it sucks ! As mentioned the screen quality is very poor, not to mention the sound and the general feeling of the console. Mine fell from the table and broke into pieces... I'm going to check out the PocketFami and see if it is any better than the game axe.

    ive got a pocket fami no complaints only used it with famicom carts though i do have the 76 pin adapter, good picture/colour and good sound. doesnt feel cheap but a bit light for its size (not a bad thing). the d-pad has a larger throw than most standard d-pads but this is marginal and is responsive from what i remember (you dont feel it has caused a death when playing action/shooting games). haven't played it in a while so i'll fire it up if anyone wants a more in depth review.

    The PocketFami is hard to find unfortunately. Does anyone know a webshop which sells it?

    The one I got was used and cost $30 or so. You might try Super Potato Online.
