@401_db @real_bruce__ @AlfaroOrueta Early units were manufactured by TXC. They have the distinctive MT serial with the blue "T xxx" stamp. Wah Hoi seem to have worked with TXC until 1989 or 1990, they then sold clones of the Micro Genius machines.
The board is aslo extremely similar to the PC-II, just with some added BitCorp markings. One of the markings says "BIT80" wich i assume is the real model for this console.
Another PC Engine clone to my collection, the PC-2100. Is very similar to the lther clone i have (PC-II), as they both share the same mold, however they're made by different companies, the PC-II is from DarYar, and this PC-2100 is from BitCorp.
The ZDog came out roughly 20 years ago! It is the last NES-based release by Hummer Technology, in collaboration with Zechess!
Today marks the third anniversary of Unauthorizon, and to celebrate this, @PirateGameThing has updated the web interface to "Unauthorizon 2.1". Hooray!
Creatom is a NES title developed by TXC in collaboration with puzzle inventor Uwe Mèffert. Nowadays it has been vastly forgotten due to its sheer difficulty. But did you know it retailed with a hefty instruction manual and suppoting puzzle pieces?
Yet another, undocumented, version of Rad Racket version just dropped courtesy of GameHistory Org. That would be eight different builds...
And that's the newly uncovered version! Volleyball had replaced the AVE logo with TXC, why wouldn't Tennis? In fact, they eventually did! Likely once they got rid of that disfunctional "Shoulsay with attitu" revision, a prototype that should never have made it to the market!
New research article. "Cut into the Number of Famiclones Ever Produced - Case #14: HOT BOY" How many famiclones have ever been produced? Again focusing on a minor brand. The HOT BOY was nothing special but has some interesting stories of the 90s. patreon.com/posts/cut-into…
New arrival item at Unauthorizon. Brand: unknown Name: PS5 Model: unknown Region: China #Famicom/#NES based plug and play, released by unknown supplier. unauthorizon.org/record/recW7Nz… #famiclone #bootlegconsole #retrogame
@masa_neti It was sold in Hong Kong specifically.

We did our accounting: the current number is six different builds, and we strongly suspect a seventh exists. … do you all love Rad Racket Deluxe Tennis II as much as we do?
Can you believe there are at least five (possibly six) documented revisions of Rad Racket II: Deluxe Tennis? We got a variety of beta and nearly final builds thanks to numerous hiccups from both TXC and AVE!
@migsantiagov @401_db Most/all early TA-03N (EPW or 910x~911x) have a defect in the APU, drums are always distorted or completely broken. It's not a problem of the Bit70 console PCB itself.
The Padvent Calendar has started! It is a series of YT shorts on Plug-n-Play games, a great way to get a glimpse at the vast world of games developed exclusively for 2000s NES-based systems. First day of 2025: youtube.com/shorts/GIpEkRS… 2024 compendium: youtube.com/watch?v=yH5AI7…
Hard to believe it's already been ten years that Gaming Alexandria has been around. Here's a (late) article about our history, as well as special thanks and small blurbs from others of what Gaming Alexandria has meant to them. Here's to another ten years! gamingalexandria.com/wp/2025/11/gam…
En passant, all of these look-alike mainland chinese educational titles are based on Bit Corp. Bit79 BIOS! You may find "BIT CORP" in their binaries.
This software is actually found as a hidden (dip-switched) variant of some Kewang educational cartridge!! The bottom text reads: "press ESC to enter the health treatment card". It's not exactly clear if it got any use, where, and how?

ファミコン低周波治療器、なんと実在していたようです。ハードは未発見ですが、少なくともソフトはダンプされているというご報告をいただきました。いいなあ、これで癒やされてみたい。
The artwork of Master Fighter VI, a bootleg of Street Fighter II for the #Famicom. Removed logo/text, taking few liberties, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch combo. The artist seems to draw inspiration from Tetsuo Hara's work. Shoutout to @PC98_Audi for providing the scan!
