    The HyperSpin 2 early access beta is here!

    We’re starting the first public testing phase with Platinum Members to keep the scope manageable while we test the current feature set and begin to add more. In the future, we’ll provide a version for basic members as well.  On behalf of the entire HyperSpin team, we look forward to another exciting adventure with our community.

About This File

Dendy (main menu)

Dendy is a Taiwanese hardware clone of the Family Computer, produced for the Russian market.  It was released in the early 1990s by the Steepler company. Since no officially licensed version of the NES was ever released in the former USSR, the Dendy was easily the most popular video game console of its time in that region and enjoyed a degree of fame roughly equivalent to that experienced by the NES/Famicom in North America and Japan. In 1992, Dendy was selling in Russia for 39000 rubles (roughly 70–80 USD; by 1994, over one million Dendy units were sold in Russia, and the price was roughly $35.

Did this run Famicom carts or should it have it's own distinct database?

The Dendy cartridge format is nearly identical to an official Famicom cartridge. It has the same 60-pin cart connector and could presumably play in a standard Famicom. Most of the games sold for Dendy consoles have been bootlegs or copies of classic NES games.

Ok, sounds like some exclusives though and at the very least a lot of unique artwork. Will think about how to handle it for the audit.
