They did the same thing with Double Dancia Mania Technolight Edition, made most obvious by Radium Star being split screen 2P which is complete horseshit

Senario had a tendency to put mockups on their boxes yeah. Some of those elements were digitized into the actual game but the screenshots are way higher res lol

It's extremely common for plug & plays with 2P support to have two different controllers, with the 1P being the console itself.

A lot of Trump Grand products feel anything but intentional. They combined every console and controller design possible lmao

Jakks scooped up all the good stuff so Senario had to settle for canceled game shows and Donald Trump

It also had the original price sticker which... yikes

i got it for 5 dollars!

It unfortunately has batteries that appear to have leaked actual liquid instead of the usual foamy gunk but that's a problem for another day

meant to say undocumented but whatever

I think it's a configuration issue that's just been carried over for eons rather than a fault with the chip itself. Consoles with SD support can make use of the Neto Boot Loader which can correct the audio. AtGames just never cared to fix it I guess?

The actual chip in question for Firecore consoles is the Redkid 2500 btw

I haven't found any conclusive evidence of this but I believe the SM801 is said chip. It appears both in Bandai's Kamen Rider plug & play and unlicensed plug & plays in the same form factor as the 2000 Mega Drive 3, and both Bandai and Lite Star quite prominently used the UMC UM6578 at the time.

maybe i should get one of their repro beamspring keyboards and put in a solenoid then >:)

that'll be one way to get kicked out of the house

ooh or maybe a linear hall effect keyboard. i think it'd be fun to have contactless options for all 3 major switch types

i honestly adore box whites but they just aren't reliable enough

the 8bitdo chassis sounds fucking beautiful with linears in it though.
