I know there is a system out there that plays Nintendo games and one that plays both Nintendo and Super Nintendo games. Does anyone know what it is called? Thanks Olds http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/items-...d-daily-2.html |

There was that custom made console made with the outer shell of a toaster that could switch between playing different cartridges but that was a one of a kind made ages ago.
Unless you mean emulation on PC's and such? Quote:

Nintendo Entertainment System/Famicom
Super Nintendo Entertainment System/Super Famicom
Or its this item http://gizmodo.com/234080/fc-twin-sn...hybrid-console called the FC Twin  Quote:

All I could find additionally was on wikipedia and we all know it isn't always 100% correct.

The patents on the individual gaming systems have expired allowing third-party manufacturers to market NES, SNES, SMS, and Genesis/MegaDrive clones. What Toma says matches with everything I've heard and read about the Retro Duo. Though it's not really a problem for me if it freezes up on Battletoads; I wasn't getting much further than the second or third level anyway.
