From the project
Yet another Dendy (Famicom) clone - 8-bit home video game console
- PCB optimized for NewGame's case - Almost all components is DIP (THT) - 9-12V DC power supply with any polarity - Step-down switching regulator - PNP+NPN transistors-based video amplifier - OpAmp-based audio mixer/amplifier - Two switchable quartz crystals (PAL+NTSC)
