Interesting Yobo insides

[nathanallan]

So I got this Yobo NES player from the.golden.axe ( ) and it really looks liek the board that holds the controller ports comes from something else; the screw holes don't line up and I had to secure it in place.

 

Is this common?

What the?

I know, right?? Weird. It kind of looks like the board has been replaced as if the original one stopped working and they used whatever. The washer was in there before I got to it, I added the screw in the middle of the board, there was one screw on the left side, kind of wedging the board down. It's a lot more secure now.

 

The reset button 'platform' is broken, so I am thinking about maybe taking these NES start/reset buttons (one piece, got them in a bundle long ago) and rebuilding the whole section.

 

Why mess with a Yobo? Why not?

where is all of its brains? (you know, cpu, etc.)

They might be on the underside of one of the boards. Has to be something doing the processing. I didn't take it totally apart, just what I took a pic of.

I'm under the impression that these famiclones are under constant revision in order to make them cheaper to build. If so, maybe there was a period where Yobo was having to assemble circuit boards in mismatched cases. Just a thought...

Yes, the NOAC is under the cartridge slot if I remember correctly.
