60-72 pins converter.

There is some seller who has some new old stock and that sells them for cheap on ebay currently.

any way to do it cheaper? i was hoping there was some way i could open them up and switch the cart readers around of course now that i think of it i think it is next to impossible/impossible because i believed they are built into the circuit board

$25 for NOS adaptor is expensive?  ???


so, you don;t think $25 is expensive for a 3rd party cheapo adapter, but you think $12 is expensive for a authentic famicom game? i think you are being a prick just for the sake of being a prick

If you can find the special Gyromite cart, you should be able to spend significantly less:

As far as I know, Duck Hunt also has it, and I think a few others do, too.
