Rinco Talkman RS-7600

Post by Tetsujin28 »

The Rinco Talkman RS-7600 is a Famicom-compatible console manufactured by Ramar International around 1997 or so and sold exclusively in selected Middle East countries. It features an additional audio circuitry to reproduce sampled audio (ADPCM). The combination of its internal cartridges and the motherboard audio decoder is described by Mapper 594.

The two chips on the bottom left are a PAL16V8 and a 74LS74A. U17 is either a MSM5205 or MSM6585.

In theory, it should be possible to have the ADPCM decoder on the cartridge board and have it work on any regular Famicom console. Ramar must have had plans to retail more unique games only compatible with their console.
