Osgeld Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 For those of us who have found themselves with *way* too much money I can help you with that problem 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenegg Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 My system finally shipped, so I should have it in a few weeks. Hopefully it won't be defective on arrival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 For those of us who have found themselves with *way* too much money, there appears to be a version of this same hardware with a 30-in-1 cart and two IR controllers for the low-low price of just $150... (link) It's interesting how anything in asia gets manufactured for an official source.. ..and then quickly gets de-branded and sold for drastically cheaper. I've even seen knockoffs of Krizz's flash carts flying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I got my Hamy today. The box was half crushed, but it works. Picture is bright so things look washed out. Feels like certain sound channels are missing too. Not noticeable in the older games, but in Contra it is obvious. The segmented d-pad is like a Wonderswan, albeit not circular/curved so it doesn't feel as natural as it could. Still, it works fine.

rockman_x_2002 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) they also sell this.... lolzies. Don't know if you're familiar with Stuart Ashen (I'm sure that some of you are), but he's reviewed something very, very similar . Most likely made by the same company. Video's worth watching for a giggle or two. Edited July 25, 2013 by rockman_x_2002 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Well, I went ahead and did a quick review on the thing, . I'm surprised (and glad) to say, it runs Castlevania III. You can see it running in action about 3/4 the way through the video. For $24, you can't go wrong though. Unless you get a defective one, that is. I'm not sure if I will hold onto mine though. I may end up listing it in my FS thread here, since I'm a bit tight on money right now. We'll see.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperman Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 The screen in the videos I've seen of hamy (all three of them) looks reasonably good (on video). How washed-out is it? Worse than, say, the fc-mobile line? It's good that they're not *all* defective. I've got mine RMA'd back to DX, and I'm hoping they send me another unit rather than just a refund.

+Gemintronic Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Still waiting for mine. Even a broken unit is better than my Game Theory Admiral, though! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_yZAJ6G5Kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think AIDS is better than one of those. I almost bought one...until I thought about how it would look using it in public. (or how it would work) Edited July 26, 2013 by Reaperman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Reaperman, the brightness or contrast is pretty high and I think that is the problem. Most games are tolerable but a few like Star Force are difficult to play because your ship and enemy bullets blend into the background when it's white objects on top of slightly less-white backgrounds.

+GoldenWheels Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Yeah, one of their plug and plays looks like a soccer ball-playstation, and IIRC if you zoom in on the game list it's got Summer Carnival '92 (and other solid games). I was pretty tempted to go for that one some time ago, but never could bring myself to do it. Well just for the hell of it since we discussed i there I'll mention I got this thing. Frankly not worth having it's thread. 248 in 1 it's called. http://dx.com/p/248-games-classic-video-game-system-w-2-wired-controllers-black-151948 It showed up smooshed (giant bubble mailer from Singapore) and even coming out of the box it looked used. Scuffed, dirty, etc. Was in one piece but looked like hell. Reset button was unseated so I had to open it up an put it back. The composite connectors had RUST on them on the inside. The included power supply is 220v so I had to pirate a power supply from one of the atgames systems (worked fine). And immediately upon playing you notice the games are PAL and are all slowed down. And I am no purist when ti comes to emulation etc, but this was practically unplayable to me. Worth a laugh I guess for 20$ if you collect these things (or if you live in the land of PAL) but I'd stay away otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Yikes GoldenWheels, that sounds awful. To anyone that wants a working HAMY, I posted mine in the marketplace. No sense in holding onto it since I have a NES flash cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 DX.com just refunded my order after I bothered to check to see if they actually managed to send my unit. I'm getting less and less impressed with these guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+GoldenWheels Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Yikes GoldenWheels, that sounds awful. For 20$ I could have lived with everything except the PAL thing. To me that just kills it. Too bad on the Hamy too....I had my eye on it but seeing the reviews here and coupling that with my dx.experience...I'll pass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
