@Main_Protagonist

6:13 this is sergei suponev. he was responsible for pokemon kanto series airing in russia around y2k. he died in 2001 and tv bosses cancelled the show next year, its a real shame honestly

@TheGamingSiri

@5:15 It's actually 4/5 cloning levels, since the MOS 6502 was actually MOS' 2nd attempt to clone the Motorolla 6800 CPU (their first clone was the 6501 but that was actually deemed too close by the courts to count as a separate chip and so was never put into full-scale production). It's actually nuts that hardware that was a clone of a clone of a clone of a clone of a clone could run anything if you think about it.

@DoomKid

Sorry for spamming your comment section, but this video really reignited my interest in old Famicom games! I was a hardcore collector of these things for many years and I even made a few "improvement hacks" of hummer team games, but I didn't release most of them. I remember discovering that YUSUPLAZ code way back in 2009.. Thanks for making this awesome trip down memory lane!

@SleepyAdam

The JY games just warm my damn heart. It's nice to know some people wanted to put out quality experiences in the Famiclone market, especially considering they were typically popular in places where more official gaming solutions weren't easily accessible without expensive importing, Brazil, China, etc. 

It's easy to look at the bootleg market and just see it as a bunch of cheap rip offs, but I do think it was born in a way out of necessity, and it's nice when some people go the extra mile and make their rip offs classy.

I just finished exams and a lot of homework (I have more exams next week but no big deal) THIS Is one of my rewards for surviving this hell of a week.

@vejin9

Rz in polish is pronounced mostly like sh in English when it’s after p, k, t, ch. I’m only saying this so you could call our Krzy “kshy”. Guy made me two unattainable cartridges some time ago.

@lauratiso

I have a Phantom System. it’s an interesting clone. Colors tend to be better (more vivid actually) with this clone than the official Brazilian NES, sound is good too (it‘s a 1:1 reproduction at hardware level). Its story is more interesting though since it led Nintendo to hire Gradiente (the manufacturer) to officially produce and release SNES and NES here in Brazil.

@CreeplessOfficial

The Famiclone is using a wrong duty cicle for the square wave channels, is not inverting the cycles. Great video ✌️

@jacekm833

A small correction - Krzysio made the flashcart as part of university master thesis, not in high school. I know because I did my master's thesis at the same university under the same professor. In fact, seeing Krzysio's cartridge on the list of past master's thesis projects inspired me to do my master's in embedded systems programming.

@PolyesterMoustache

My favorite weird bootleg back-port was the Metal Slug Gameboy Color port, sold under the name "Terrifying 911" with a picture of Osama Bin Laden and the twin towers on it all coated in bootleg Pokemon card style holofoil

@allingby

hummer cheng splitting the palette per sprite with obvious transitions looks sick
felt illegal to watch that important fami lore pegasus family game ad 
holy holy what a video

@CheeperVHS

Late to reply to this video but this is amazing and possibly the best breakdown of the eastern europeran/Asian bootleg market I've ever seen, you've gained a sub ^-^

@Papoompala

Somehow getting a custom cartridge seemed like a perfect story beat in a video about bootlegs, like why do you need the original bootleg brand when you can just get someone else to port super Mario world.

@Cyperstudio

THANK YOU YOUTUBE FOR PUTTING THIS IS MY RECOMMENDED! I swear I’m binging your channel now and I think it’s so funny that I found someone who talks about all this niche stuff and I find interesting lol

@jorgeluisgimenez9837

Wow, i remember playing the "family game" version of street fighter 2 here in Argentina when i was a kid. The game was so good that even specialized magazines talked about it. It makes me happy that someone else cares about these.

@ElectroPotato

I grew up with a famiclone, i didn't notice the difference in the sound before, but now that you compared them side by side, holy crap, the clone thing sounds so much homey.

@Светлана-б8н4ь

I love our russian Dendy brand. It was so stupid. Seriously, there was an entire TV show about games on these Dendy consoles, which is pretty cool. BUT, they advertised not regular games, but mostly bootleg ones, like mario 16

@Т1000-м1и

This channel is the best of the "explain like I'm high" type of video without even trying, in the best sense possible
