Title: WTB: Famicom to NES Converter
Post by: Slushie on December 16, 2009, 06:03:28 pm
Hey,

Does anyone here know a reliable place to buy a Famicom to NES Converter that's not too much money? I used to have one, but it stopped working. I just want to play some famicom games on my NES. :)

You didn't buy it from me did you? ???

Otherwise I have an extra Spica I'll let go for $10.

Honeybee converters work amazingly well, I have a silver one. I got mine for 2$, and have used it for over a year.

Good stuff.

Really?
I have 2 Honeybee converters but they barely work, maybe they are just worn out.

Are you using them in a regular toaster NES or a NES 101 Toploader? My honeybee doesnt work barely at all on a toaster NES but it works perfectly on the NES 101 Toploader.

I got mine about 10 years ago. I bought smb3 and a multicart (fami versions) from a used gamestore and I think the guy just gave me a converter. Just a grey one with a ribbon. I'm pretty sure not a honeybee.

And Jedi QuestMaster, if you still have one for $10, that sounds great. I'll pm you. :)

P.S. I have a regular old NES, a non-top loader.

The Spica works kind of like those Camerica carts; it looks like it's going to be blinking when powered on, but then stays on.
