Pictures of the motherboardAlso post to reddit's Nintendo communityAlthough it was done, reddit users and others analyzed the code number etc. on the board, as a result of Chinese chip manufacturer ·AllWinnerSoC of "R16It is argued that it is not.

R16 is responsible for emulating the built-in title and outputting it to the display at 1080p. To play NES game, it is equipped with Mali - 400 's dual core GPU, Cortex - A 7' s quad core CPU, 256 MB DDR 3 RAM and 512 MB NAND flash memory with sufficient power. If SoC works as advertised by AllWinner, there is the possibility of being able to remodel the NES Mini.


Although it will be quicker than the 10-year player "Wii" and the just-released "NEW Nintendo 3DS" in terms of specs only, at a low price rather than having unnecessarily loaded an over-spec SoC It is considered to have been adopted. As far as you see the motherboard, it is difficult to connect the USB and attach the Wi - Fi download function, and it seems that you can not change the internal flash memory with the soldering iron. On the other hand, Ars Technica predicts "Users will definitely remodel in the future that is not so far".


Although the "Nintendo Classic Mini" designed by Nintendo is emerging in the Japanese version, it will be understood after November 10 (Thursday) whether there is any difference in the internal structure.
