Does anyone know where I can buy one?
eBay.
Here's a new one that was posted a day or two ago: http://cgi.ebay.com/NINTENDO-FAMICOM-RECORDER-BRAND-NEW-UNUSED-/370532420834?pt=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item5645740ce2#ht_500wt_1365 (http://cgi.ebay.com/NINTENDO-FAMICOM-RECORDER-BRAND-NEW-UNUSED-/370532420834?pt=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item5645740ce2#ht_500wt_1365)
If you're willing to spend $100+ on a red tape recorder, it could be yours. Good luck.
No, this thing!

I saw it once on a Japanese auction site, but it became very expensive. It would be easier to search for it with the Japanese name.
well, what is it's japanses name?
I don't think it has a non-Japanese name. fredJ probably means typing Fami-Corder in Japanese like this: ファミコーダー
I seem to get results with the cassette recorder as well though...
thanks... P? ???
Wasn't this from the HK market? I don't think it was sold in Nippon in any quantity, but rather in HK or Taiwan, where copiers are less 'illegal'... I don't know what you plan to do with it, but I think it only supports NROM, UNROM and CNROM games, and of course, you will need at least one of its EPROM carts so that you can reproduce them, assuming they don't have any weird custom-mapper for MMC1 programmes... :bomb:
Yeah you are probably right Xious. Klax if you are searching after it on chinese or HK sites I bet you can just search for it in english.
i got it i just bought it from japan it is very expensive so i will show your photo
What, in your deflation, is 'very expensive'? Around how much did you pay for the device?
Did it come with the programmable cassettes, and if so, how many? :bomb:
this what i got

I think the best way ever to use a famicorder would be to do this (if possible):

OH MY GOD! YOU HAVE ONE! YOU ARE SO LUCKY!
why lucky ???
Poppy we feel you're lucky because you have access to such auctions and the cash needed to secure them :)
I was wondering why you bought so many though?
Mabye (She?He?) wants free games.
Have you seen his collection??? I think he has them all already! :D
I find that hard to belive.
No, seriously, poppy has nearly every Famicom game.
Nearly...
Yeah, and the ones he doesn't have probably aren't old mapper 0 games.
Not to mention, even if they were copyable games, he would a need to own the cartridge in order to copy it.
i don't know what is this,or how it works,but i will give you BIG tip:
got fast computer?
Download FamiCom emulator and recording program,that can help
Just grab an EPROM burner.
poppy if i got my hands on a Fami-Corder could instead of using a blank cart could i use the disk system ram port and copy the cart to a disk?

You wouldn't be able to make it work like that.
poppy, do you think that you can flash an empty nes cart, or would it have a problem with the hardware? please respond.
Nice necropost, it was nice to see those FamiCorders again. I love it when surprises like that happen.
