Talk:Dendy (console)

message: I reformatted the article, also tried to make it more clear what were the differences between the versions and it has become obvious that the data in the article is quite random. I think only the following statement really suffered from my reformatting though:
In Dendy Junior II port for a light gun was in front, but ports for controllers was on a back side of a console. They also was different from controllers ports in Junior. And controllers in Junior II was unremovable.
This one I had to remove. It is obvious that more research needs to be done before fixing all of this. First google search for "dendy junior ii" shows pictures of something Dendy-looking with clearly detachable pads.
I don't really think it would be possible to find quality sources for this article, but there must be some nostalgia sites that provide enough basic information at least, perhaps backed up by decent pictures and/or brochure scans.Svofski 07:57, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Differences, sources 

message: I finally get the digital camera for some time. And as promised I was made a few photos of Dendy (paste all links on photos in new window). You can use them in Wikipedia and any other site. 
Here is Dendy Junior (with cartridge inserted):

As you see controllers connected in the front, and detachable. 
Here is back side of Junior:

In junior 1 back side contains 4 ports. First one (from left side) is for electricity, next two is audio\video for connecting with TV, and last one also for connecting with TV but on different way. From the last port Dendy can be connected with TV by using antena port of TV (normally used with a special device which allow you to switch between dendy and a real antena). This is done for compatibility with old TV, that did not have audio\video ports. On Dendy Junior II all ports from Junior exist, and also there is 2 more ports for controllers. And unlike Junior in Junior II they undetachable.
Here is box cvers of Dendy Junior:

Here is Junior II:
http://burakki.narod.ru/misc/junior2.jpg
It's all, almost exectly like a Junior 1, but with controllers on the back. And in front there is a port for a light gun.
Here is box of Junior II:

And here is controller of Dendy Junior I (with exeption of port it is the same sa Junior II controller).
http://burakki.narod.ru/misc/junior1controller.jpg
As you see it have A\B and Turbo A\B buttons, D-pad and select & start. On Junior II second controller doesn't have select\start buttons. It makes sometimes impossible to get continue for a second player in games where he needs to push start in order to get it.
Here is Dendy cartridge:

Don't be suprised to see Pokemon geme on it. No, official Pokemon games was never released on NES. But... in Russia there is many (I guess about 10 or so...) Pokemon hacks of other games and pirate games. Not only that. There is even a not official Pokemon games for Sega Genessis in Russia too!
And here is symbol of Dendy:

As a side note Dendy and it's cartridges still sells in Russia. A few days ago (on 21 september of 2007) I was is shop Radiotovari in Kostroma City, where I live, and was seen Dendy for 350 rubles (1$ - ~25 rubles) and many cartridges with prices from 40 rubles for 1 game cartridge and more for several games cartridge. There also sells 2 other then Dendy clones of NES (yes, Dendy is not the only clone of NES in Russia there is a few others, less famous!) for 370 rubles. They use the same cartridges as Dendy. - Burakki  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.113.215.97 (talk) 00:07, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
