I got this game console from my favorite secondhand shop for $4
it's untested so I don't know if it works or not
probably it works
but as you can see the RESET button is broken
and it looks like someone tried to fix it
and they scratched it everywhere
anyway, so in this video we will try to fix it
and test it see what kind of games we have
as you can see we have a micro USB here
Is that micro or mini?
mini USB
and ...
a composite video output
Two standard, or Atari controller ports
well it come with one controller
with fake shoulder buttons
so, I think
well, it's for sure it's a NES game
NES
it's not a Super Nintendo
this is the charger, European
and this is the composite video leads
so let me open it
and see if we can repair the reset button
alright, so this is the RESET button
and this is the power switch
I don't know why the RESET button doesn't work
it looks fine, probably there's a spring or something missing
alright so it's just ...
gets stuck for some reason
maybe I need to smooth it
that's the board
we have a big board
unlike most clone consoles
usually you get a small piece
and a small PCB on the back
connected with cheap ribbon cable
let's see what's underneath
you can see the blob visible
and there's a memory here
that's right
oh that reset button is broken
anyways
this is the board
as we expected
Nintendo on a chip
and the games are saved here
so, if we remove this ..
it will still play
but you need to find a way to connect the ROMs
the USB
I'm shooting with my phone, it doesn't Focus that easy
the USB is just providing power as you can see
let me see if I can zoom
you see
the pins in the middle are not connected to anywhere just the power
small LED here
and that's it
a crystal in the middle
so okay let's fix the reset button
and try it
for $4 it's a bargain
let's have a look at the joystick
HST
it's written everywhere!
here we have a HST-3
on the back we have
HST-869
and also the board
there was also HST, I don't remember
what was it
same thing here
just the 869
so is this the brand name
why not? let's see the quality
we have a screw means we have to take it off
come on
come on I don't want to break it
I don't want to break you
yea, it's just
nothing interesting
put it back I don't want break it
even though it's useless because it's European
so here what I'm going to do to fix this
it keeps sinking because ...
the contact here is the worst
it's very small point
so it always slips and goes to the side
this tip goes to the side of the cross
it's never in the centre
and it's always go that way and that way
and keeps sinking
so
I'm thinking to... like glue these here
to help it be centred
as well as I will fill ...
and ...
the corners of the cross with hot glue or something
so it will not sink
and let see how it goes
it feels much better now
I will show you what I did
you can see
I put this foam here
and put glue here
hot glue
so now ...
it's better, let's see
let me see if I can focus
now ...
it will not slip and will not sink
okay, we set it up
let's see
what kind of games do we have
everything connected
let's turn it on
let's wait for the TV to boot
power on
OK, we have 400 in 1
the first one is Super Mario let's see
yeah, it's Super Mario
this is Mario let's see what else do we have
another Mario
Ninja
yea, let's see
let's go through the games
not all of them
just few
