Can I play Famicom
and FDS
games on my NES?
Yes. It's possible to
play your Famicom and FDS games on your NES if you use a
converter. Famicom games have 60 pins, while the NES
requires 72 pins. Using a 60-to-72 pins converter
allows you to convert the Famicom cartridges for use
on your NES. Visit the
Accessories page for more about these converters. You can buy
these pins converters on eBay for about $12. To play
FDS games, you'll need a converter and the disk
system itself.
It's also possible to
play your NES games on your Famicom. You just need a
converter that does the opposite: converts 72-pin
NES games for use on the 60-pin Famicom.
