The D-CAT8 8bit Game Console, also known as Vangard 8bit GameCORE, is a handheld Famiclone console, initially released some time between 2004 and 2010. Its manufacturer is unconfirmed, but based on the console's name, it may be Dichroic Cat (Shen Zhen) Electronic Co., Ltd, also known as the manufacturer of many AtGames products.
The console would be followed by the D-CAT16, which is based on "Firecore" Sega Mega Drive/Genesis hardware.
