Title: WTB NES to FAMICOM converter
Post by: FAMICOMfag on February 07, 2009, 08:19:32 am
Hello,

I'm looking for a converter to play NES games on my FAMICOM. The one by HONEY BEE would be the best but I guess any would do.

Thanks

does it really matter which adapter you use?

Yeah, Honeybees aren't THAT great, I think it's hype that they're the best, because no which way you look at it, it's still a pirated converter :-\

@nintendodork, well HoneyBee's are very good, much much better than a lame Gyromite adapter (it sucks!)

@popibros, did you clean it?

Or when you hate adapters/converters, buy a Famicom :)

The Gyromite adapter is actually awesome because it features a genuine 10NES chip. Of course if you have a top loader it doesn't make a difference though.

Which I do, but why does DLX think they suck?

i think they suck too
because its hard to fit the famicom cart in
and its just plain finicky to get it in the cart slot

Yeah, now that I know how to use it, it's easy to use :P
And like 133MHz and Hades said, It's got the 10NES

I have a 'Gyromite' converter and it works fine now that the sides are filed down for easier game insertion. I rarely play Famicom games on my NES, though. I tend to play more NES games on my Famicom than the other way around.

That's what I'd rather do to, so if anyone would like to point me to a 72-to-60 pin converter, please don't be shy

Hello tofu!  There's an introduce yourself thread in the off-topic board! :)

As you must know, there are several different companies who make this, they just look different.  And I praise you for not buying on of those for $40, you can probably have someone sell you one here for a lot less

I unfortunately to not have one, I only have a black box converter and a Famicom itself.  I think the Uninvited Gremlin might have one he'd want to trade/sell
