Today's youth have little to surprise in the field of computer games. They no longer bother with the question of how to connect "Dandy" to the TV, but play on super-powerful computers. The most realistic graphics, believable characters, incredible musical accompaniment - all this is quite familiar to a modern gamer. But just a couple of decades ago, all this did not exist, but there was something that won the hearts of millions of people - one of the first consoles - the prefix "Dandy".
A bit of the history of "Dandy": the game of our childhood
Those born before the 90s will surely remember the hype around the incredibly "cool" console with the elephant logo on the panel, which appeared in the early 90s. Then the game cost incredible money for a Soviet citizen, but this did not stop the developers from earning millions in this market.
In fact, "Dandy" is the first in the domestic market, but not the first in production. Nintendo had previously released dozens of other versions of consoles, but only "Dandy"was able to win the hearts of domestic gamers. At that time in Russia there were 4 dealers from the Stapler company who carried out the delivery. Unfortunately, this company curtailed its activities by the year 94.
Of course, even now you can find the long-forgotten "Dandy" on the shelves of some stores and on specialized sites, but they are all far from the original, and are nothing more than a fake from China.
Cartridges and the most popular games on "Dandy"
The set-top box and joysticks themselves were of no interest without special cartridges, they were the carriers of the main information. On one such cartridge there could be either one game or 999! But the most valuable were those in which there were from 3 to 10 different games. Young people were constantly changing, buying and selling cartridges to each other. Even today, you can meet people who have entire collections of original and rare games left.
It is thanks to the huge range of high-quality and interesting games that were released for the Nes operating system that this console has become so in demand among Russian game lovers. Such immortal creations as "Mortal Kombat", "Pac-man", "Super Mario", "Tanks", "Island of Adventure" and many others will forever remain in the memory of people who survived the cult of the nineties.
How to connect "Dandy" to the TV?
This is exactly the question that many happy buyers of the set-top box askedtime. In fact, there was nothing complicated about it, it was enough to connect the a / v plugs of the set-top box and the TV, and then start searching for a channel - everything is simple!
But the fact is that in those days TVs were simple, that is, they had the appropriate connectors, but how to connect "Dandy" to a TV of a modern model that supports HDMI?
If you can't find an A/V output on your TV, you may find a SCART output, which is essentially the same as A/V. In this case, you will have to buy an adapter or the SCART cable itself, it is a wide connector on one side, and “tulips” on the other. Thanks to this cable, you can solve the problem of how to connect the "Dandy" to the TV.
How to connect the Dandy box to the latest generation TV?
Unfortunately, in recent years, manufacturers have increasingly begun to produce TVs that do not have connectors for component connections, due to the fact that modern receivers have a high-definition interface.
Let's say you decide to plunge into the past and play retro games. A set-top box was bought for this purpose, but later it turned out that your TV does not have A / V and SCART outputs. What to do? How to connect "Dandy" to a Samsung TV, which did not have the necessary connectors (however, this applies to any brand).
Getting out of this situation is not easy, but possible. You will have to purchase a special device - an A / V to HDMI converter. Such converters are sold in online stores and onpopular Chinese venues.
So, before connecting the "Dandy" to the LG TV, make sure that the set-top box is turned off and disconnected from the power supply. Next, using a cable with "tulips" connect the prefix to the converter. On the other hand, the converter is connected to the TV using an HDMI cable. It remains only to insert a cartridge with your favorite game into the console, connect it to the network and turn on the game. You may need to search for channels to get on the desired wave.
