So soon after the other topic. Okay so I recently moved from Oakland to Portland, and i boxed up my Famicom etc. and when I unpacked it the RF modulator head was off. I asked if i could get a new one when someone replied that it comes off and you can just put it back on. I put it back on and i decided to play it today. I plugged everything in and the screen doesnt show anything. I dont know if this is a Famicom problem or a Modulator problem. i wish they had a light instead of orange paint
You can use a NES RF.
Also, you mean Portland, Oregon, or Portland, Maine? Just wondering since I'm in Portland, Oregon.
Portland Or, theyre having a retro gaming expo, but you probably already know that.
i dont own a nes, but i can probably get one
I'm just one state above. There seems to be quite a few locals on these forums.
Welcome to Portland! :)
You should be able to get one at a Goodwill store, especially the one on SE 6th Ave. They're usually always there for about $2.
damn i just moved here 9 days ago. looks like im around some retro gaming enthusiasts. Robin Mihara ftw. Sure is better than Oakland. yeah ive been to the goodwill there before, huge. i was gonna buy a ps1, but decided against it.
I saw a complete Dreamcast with Sonic Adventure in the CD drive for $27 at good will. It's a great store.
Use a SNES RF
i dont have a SNES either ;D
You could use a N64 Rf also.
i bought mine used and i dont think it came with an RF cable, damn.

If you're talking about an N64, mine didn't come with one either. It shouldn't be too hard to find one though.
disheartening news: bought a new RF cable and the damn thing sill doesnt work. I thought it HAD to be the RF cable cuz i can see some change in the salt n pepper on the screen. Well i guess there is always the possibility of it being my tv, i guess i shouldve tried that before i bought an RF cable, but why would my TV suddenly not be able to play it? i dont want to buy another damn famicom.
Sounds like a good candidate for an AV mod. :)
sadly i think its the famicom thats broken though, i guess i burned it out? well after repeated weekly usage in oakland and one use in portland. damn portland electricity.
Do you have the skills to take it apart and test it?
No, but i got nothing to lose. Ill take a shot at it.
...so how do you do that?
