The N-Joypad or CD3900 is a Famicom clone manufactured by the Hong Kong–based company Advance Bright Limited (ABL).[1][2][3][4][5] There's no AC adapter, with the console running from four AA batteries.[5]
This console is different from other clones because it does not use cartridges, relying instead on discs of different sizes resembling compact discs.[1][2][3][6][5] When the player inserts one of these discs on the system, it triggers a combination of switches on the system allowing a unique selection of Famicom games to be chosen.[3][7][5]
The system includes a total of 59 games,[7] which are either original games produced in China, or pirate versions of licensed Famicom games with hacked music and/or graphics to hide their origin.[6]
