That isn't very user-friendly. You also can't detect 377 Famiclones.

I suppose you could include homebrew games.

There isn't really a good reason to do that, and I don't have a real NES for testing but it could be both.

Also, if we're so concerned about these clones (more than the originals) should we call this site "NesCloneDev"?

PAL systems What do you mean? How does that affect it? Personally I'd set PAL language to English, but I live in England so I might be biased. Most of the time?

Well done on finding the post

I thought it was to do with the controller? How do flashcarts affect that?

Also, can someone explain that post simply please?

Well, considering
A) We can't include every clone
and
B) Most people wouldn't have clones
I think this is fine to use for default language settings and controller pictures.

What about what lidnariq said?

I have no idea what any of that means.

Is it possible to programmatically tell the difference between a NES and a Famicom?
