It's a ripoff of the Wii. Stupid scam console.
Chintendo Vii.
Piece of crap Wii ripoff, tries to confuse fools.

Of course, you'd have to be a complete jackoff not to realize that but what HARDWARE does it use?

Code: Select all

          *=$0000
loop      JMP loop

Dr. Ashen thought some of the games on his Vii were "surprisingly fun", especially the mini-golf game, the dart game, and "Bird Knight" which appeared to have been heavily inspired by Balloon Kid/Hello Kitty World.

Please keep it T-rated.

From the screenshots and videos I've seen, it appears to use at least a 16-bit-class graphics chipset. It might be an enhanced famiclone PPU; it might be a TurboGrafx video chipset; it might be a Genesis VDP; it might be something completely different. Google isn't aware of anyone who has tried to hack it.

My money's on "something completely different." I believe several companies manufacture all-in-one CPU/GPU/IO chips for use in plug-and-play TV games, and they're likely much easier and less restrictive to develop for than cloned 1980s hardware. I'm not sure how much they cost, though.

mmm... This thing is gettin' interesting. I think I'll buy one 'n' look around a little. It'd be nice if we can get some edge connector into the thing.
Think of the possibilities.
I just did. It'd be weird. Have swappable carts. Kinda like that Atari 2600 plug and play thing they had.

It does have the "VC-1" cartridge, and if you search a bit, you can find Ashen's review of that.

This remember me a guy who was telling us he made a Soninc game for the NES but suddently all devices that would take pictures for him were lost or broken.
Useless, lumbering half-wits don't scare us.
