Has decent support in MAME The main reason to use this over NTSC would be if some pirate game targeted PAL Famiclones, and its status as an NES clone means its "exclusives" can be played on NES emulators other than that support broken there's hardly much difference to it than running in NTSC unless you're nostalgic for the unoptimised slowed-down versions from pirate cartsmulticarts.

|Nokia's attempt at making a cell phone/handheld system hybrid, before mobile gaming really took off. Although it was the most powerful handheld in its time and released in October 2003, it failed due to a high price, a terrible button layout, numerous design flaws, and its underdeveloped cell phone component. Had a redesign called the QD, but it was only slightly better. Most of its games were ports, either from the GBA or from the PS1 and Saturn. While it didn't have any standout titles, it still had a few odd original entries from big franchises such as Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey and SSX: Out of Bounds , and was the only system to have an English version of Xanadu Next(before the 2016 global re-release for Windows PCs).
