Let's Play! Game Machine 240 in 1

Unused Text#

 40 IN 1

This appears twice in the menu data at 0x68278 and 0x68296; the space was likely a "2" at some point (highlight to see it better). It's possible that the 240 in 1 title was originally written in plain text.

Main Device Test#

A device test program can be accessed by holding A + B while resetting the console. Strangely, the A and B buttons are swapped when compared with a standard NES controller, as are the Start and Select buttons.

Controller Test Music

This is actually a cut down version of a test routine that actually does checksum calculation, which explains why it's always 0.

Revisional Differences#

Thumbs Up

At least two versions of this machine are known to exist. The Thumbs Up UK model by Santok Group appears to be a later version, as the other version unintentionally overwrites some of the character art on the bottom left when it draws the list of games. The numerous spelling errors on the game list itself were left unchanged, however.
