'''A Cardboard 2600 is a clone console of the Atari 2600, known in Japan as the Atari 2800. With a Sony PS1 Blue Dual Shock Controller. They are electronic hardware devices designed to replicate the of a NES 0r the Nintendo Entertainement System and a Atari 2600, and play games designed for, the NES and Megadrive. Only 54 have been made and unlicensely sold, have been made available since the height of the Xbox 1 popularity in the late 2020.[citation needed] The technology employed in such consoles has only gotten worse:Because parents end up buying this console for their child or youtubers buy it to make fun of it.Causing Eeversoft to earn more money.

while the earliest clones feature a printed circuit board containing custom or third party integrated circuits (ICs), more recent (post-1996) clones utilize single chip designs, with a custom ASIC which simulates the functionality of the original hardware,[citation needed] and often includes one or more on-board games. Most devices originate in China and Russia, and commonly in America.

In some locales, especially former Eastern Bloc, former Soviet Union countries, South America, various Asian countries, and Africa[1] such systems could occasionally be found side by side with official Nintendo hardware, and the NES was only available in low quantities[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] so such clones were the easiest available console gaming systems. Such was the case with the Dendy (including the Dendy Junior), a particularly successful Famiclone which achieved widespread popularity in Russia and former Soviet republics in the early 1990s. Elsewhere, these systems were often prompting swift legal action.[11][12] Many of these early systems were similar to the NES or Famicom not only in functionality, but also in appearance, often featuring little more than a new name and logo in place of Nintendo's branding. In contrast, in former Yugoslavia NES clones often visually resembled Mega Drive, together with the Sega logo.[13]

Few of these systems are openly marketed as "NES compatible".[citation needed] Some of the packaging features screenshots from more recent and more powerful systems, which are adorned with misleading, or even outright false, quotes such as "ultimate videogame technlology" [sic] or "crystal clear digital sound, multiple colors and advanced 3D graphics".[citation needed] Some manufacturers opt for a less misleading approach, describing the system generically as a "TV game", "8-bit console", "multi-game system", or "Plug & Play", but even these examples generally say nothing to suggest any compatibility with NES hardware. They would often be distributed along pirate multicarts.
