niconiconi古董 #小霸王学习机 上电后毫无反应。我准备好万用表、示波器准备到处戳一戳，抓抓波形，结果发现是 DC 连接器 GND 焊盘铜箔断裂，10 秒飞线解决（搭接到了旁边的手柄接口焊盘，两者共用 copper pour）。但是这个手边仅有的古董黑白电视不能正常 VSYNC，只能看出有一个“小霸王”商标。这说明 CPU/PPU 能运行了，估计已经修好了，等待采集卡到来再试。#复古计算 #电子考古学 #小霸王
Evan@scribblesonnapkins "Subor" educational computer, the most popular unauthorized Chinese Famicom/NES game console clone, but disguised and marketed as a home computer - near-unusable development tools: you basically only get a basic BASIC interpreter, no 6502 monitor, and the most popular model has no NVRAM/tape/floppy/disk storage so you can't save your work. In theory it was the most affordable computer in 1990s China, in practice it was 90% a FC/NES for games, and 10% a "learn to type on the keyboard in Chinese/English" trainer.
@niconiconi Did it have the same DRM as NES?
@scribblesonnapkins No, since it was entirely designed to run cracked games.
@niconiconi Fantastic!
@scribblesonnapkins I plan to eventually do some NESdev and homebrew cartridges on it, making it an actually useful educational computer. Both Woz's 6502 monitor and Microsoft Basic have NES ports, porting their I/O routines to Subor would finally make it a proper computer 30 years later.
@niconiconi Man your cool
a kilo of saucepans (rakslice)@niconiconi wikipedia claims these things' computer side is based on the laser 310... is that true? because that's a z80 machine isn't it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subor
@rakslice That sentence meant it was created by combining the form-factor of the Laser 310 with FC/NES hardware.
