State of FC TEST SYSTEM operation
A cartridge “FC TEST SYSTEM” for checking the operation of Nintendo’s game machine “Family Computer” has appeared, and a sample (Version 0.90) under development for Ken-chan of home appliances has arrived.
It is an item that “I had you make it for checking in the store” (the same store), but “I plan to sell it to the general public in the future” (the same store). The production is IMPACT SOFT, and the release date and price are undecided.
Cartridges that can test controllers, memory, and screen displays
This is a dedicated cartridge for checking whether the main body of the family computer operates normally. There are three test items, “PAD TEST”, “RAM TEST”, and “LCD TEST”, and you can test the controller, main memory, screen display limit area, and RGB display.
