So I was rummaging through my old boxes in the garage and came across this console I bought from the Philippines maybe like 10 or so years ago. Funniest name ever for a game console…“Good Boy.” I think they were trying to get something catchy like Game Boy, well it’s the Philippines anything works right? Here’s a pic of it.
It’s basically like a Famicon, I guess. The cartridges are those half size NES ones. Back in the day when my pops would be on duty for the Navy, he got us these cartridges from Japan and we had the Famicon to NES adapter to play on our NES.

Here are some of the games that I was able to keep working
The top right was is the shizz, it’s one of those multiple games in one type deals. Has some awesome games like Mario Bros, sick ass shumps like Twin Bee and B-Wings, and a funny ass game called Wrestle.
So the main reason why I’m posting a thread on this is because I was wondering if it would be possible to work on an MC Cthulhu. And if not, can it be padhacked? Well, obviously it can, but I have no experience with it. The controller wiring is coming apart and was wondering if I can get someone to padhack the PCB for me in the future IF it won’t work with the MC. Here’ a pic of the controller port…
Also, being that it is from the Philippines, it runs 220 volt instead of 110 and I use this freakin’ 50 pound step down transformer to play it…
Along with wanting the controllers to be padhacked…anyone here a professional electrician? I read on eHow that you can re-wire it to run 110. Basically wondering how much that would cost and would it even be worth doing so…
Can anyone help or give any advice?
BTW, will post screen shots of games once I hook it up over the weekend and reminisce about good ol’ days of 2D where there’s only 1 damn, specific ass way to beat each level…
