Will the Factor-5 cartridge work on a official top loading NES, or another clone system? (FC Twin, Retro Duo)

Cybernoid wasn't originally for Nintendo, it was originally for Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, NES, and ZX Spectrum.

So did you take the name from the game developer Factor-5 when they folded recently did you?

This review left many questions unanswered. For example, I just want to play NES games without hassle. Is the Factor 5 a good solution for that? How does a game like Legendary Wings play? (Lots of slowdown on original NES) Does the video and sound measure up? I have read that the colors are not the same and would like to see that addressed in a video review.

These Factor-5 games look and sound a lot like dreamDear Plug N Plays.

@matzo33333 There are no hardware tricks that allow you to increase the amount of colors on the NES. There is a software trick, but it can be seen with the naked eye. It involves checkerboarding two different colors together. Such as blue and red make purple. Do to pixel size though, you can see this on screen.

@JBOPatrick the games might use hardware tricks.

@halodude154 it won't break, but if it's not going to be in a still environment you should put a cardboard shim between the cart and the slot so it won't jiggle and freeze your game. that advice is for all yobo famiclones(not just this one) because the only difference in them is colors & case design(and placement of switches). they all have the same PCB, and the switch/power LED/controller port PCB has 3 different places to put the switches so they can use 1 PCB for all models. hope this helps.
