Title: Info to make an fdsloader cable for a twin famicom?
Post by: phreak97 on March 20, 2016, 02:28:58 am
So my only 100% working disk system is a twin famicom, I notice theres a jumper under a cover at the back which may or may not be the connection from the famicom to the disk system.
Does anyone have the info on hand to build an fdsloader cable for the twin fami?

I just bought this http://www.tototek.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=196

and I think that might be the better option for more modern pc's these days.
Have read about it  ;D

I've used that and the FDSemu (which is pretty much the same as loopy's FDSStick) and they work great, I'd take them over FDSLoadr any day.

I just learned about those!
Is either one better for rewriting original discs or writing blank discs?

???

purely blank disk needs to be entirely formatted. Only after that you could write something on it. Also, i feel the greatest doubts about the existence of any software that could format those disks.

Not sure if you could get a purely blank disk too.

What if they come pre-formatted out of the factory?  :-X

BTW, i also think that if you insert purely blank disk to the drive, so then the system won't recognize it at all. Just an assumption.
