Hey guys, just searched away and can't seem to find an answer...

But the famicom is negative ground correct?

Red wire is positive and white is negative? Still so used to the American wiring - red and black.


Thank you,

I wouldn't trust the color coding of the cables if I were you. I'd test them with a multimeter.
A guy in another thread just reported that the color codes of the two controllers were inconsistent in his Famicom.

I've been awol. But I figured I'd tap the power for my power LED from vcc and ground...which naturally worked fine!

Thanks for the warning about the power switch wiring P. Didn't feel like testing, and at that rate not so sure I'd even be able to get it right anyway... I'm a pretty big wiring noob
