FC Mobile II Prt 1

Original FC Mobile:

Very flimsy build design! Wrong button layout (This HAS been addressed apparently in later revisions or from some sources that sell it under a different label) very touchy as games can sometimes glitch when moving
the unit even slightly. Odd design.

For the Average price of around $10 more from various sources online you can pickup the FC Mobile II and gain the benefit of:

*Better, sturdier unit.
*Wireless gamepads (x2)
*Wireless Gun
*Proper button layout
*Nicer design (in my opinion)

If you are considering this unit it is well worth the price!
A great addition if you currently have no other means to play NES carts!
Of COURSE it is somewhat silly to actually use this for "portable" play when you can run emulators on various handhelds just as well but this is very reasonably priced and since it can be hooked up to a real TV you cannot beat everything this system features and includes for the price!

Overall opinion / Suggestions:
Very cool, a great collectors item and conversation piece! Overall battery life seems very good though I have not had time to fully test it! As with all devices of this type I suggest HIGH CAPACITY Brand Name rechargables!
THIS IS A NES COMPATIBLE DEVICE to use Famicom
carts requires 60-pin to 72-pin converter!

Stone Age Gamer Info:
Great prices, good customer services and communication!

@MaximumRD OMG PLS HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got the fc mobile 2 but I cant get super mario bros/duck hunt to work on it! Most commonly I get a white screen when I turn it on, sometimes a black screen, and sometimes a bunch of collors that i cant even get to work. HELP!

[MaximumRD]

@nmgh101 Well first and foremost make sure your cartridge is clean, meaning the contacts inside (you can GOOGLE Cleaning Nintendo cartridges if you don't know) if your cartridge is fine make sure it's inserted firmly. I have had problems even slight movement games crash or freeze. If problem persist try turning on while holding the cart pushed forward or back BUT MAKE SURE it stays still. Otherwise maybe a faulty unit? Contact your supplier. Is that your only game? Do others work?

@MaximumRD well ive cleaned it to perfection, its deffinatly inserted firmly, i tried leaning it and it didnt work, and im trying to get another game to see. If it doesnt work im not gonna rebuy this system, what do you think of the fc 16 go?

[MaximumRD]

@nmgh101 Honestly, I have only used mine a couple times, now I just use my GP2X Caanoo handheld with all kinds of emulators from NES to Genesis. These are a novelty that quickly wore off for me, build quality is flakey at best, after this and my Retron3 I have really started getting put off by clone hardware, it's all cheaply made, I wont buy any more clones, even emulators do a better job in software then these do in hardware.

[BarbieBoy1997]

does anyone make a Coleco or Atari portable system like this?...or Intellivision?

[MaximumRD]

@BarbieBoy1997 Not official retail like this more in the modding community like in the BEN HECK forums, talented skilled people who are very good at such things, but that will cost you to have them commissioned to do such a project. Otherwise just better getting something like the GP2X Caanoo or Dingoo handheld and use emulation, and if your thinking well I prefer "real" hardware believe me, emulators to a better job then these clones do emulating the original hardware.

@MaximumRD Thanks!

@gusfasa i think no,because is 60 p and the original nintendo games its 72 p,only with adapter dude

I believe this needs to be thumbed up, because this is a minor issue that some can interpret as a major issue.

When the FC runs low on batteries, it will not play certain games at all, like 'Legacy of the Wizard', 'Blaster Master', or 'Lode Runner'. However, it can play games like 'Astyanax' and 'Bionic Commando' just fine. Some other games might play, but will eventually hang, like 'Fester's Quest'. Didn't know battery power could affect the game loading, etc.

@gusfasa By "PolySation Cartriges" I believe you're referring to pirated Famicom cartridges. If so, then no, not like the way it sits anyway. What you need is a 60 to 72 pin converter, and there are plenty of guides to make one out of a Gyromite or other early NES launch titles.
