Ah yes Tomy even said that you need the copier to run it. My mistake.

Wouldn’t you still need a game doctor to load game doctor disk images from fdsstick?

Does it use SA-1 or something?

Anyway I'm glad it works on real hardware and it looks great. I love the hack that brings back SMB1/2/3 rules to the SMW engine. I'd love to test it once I get access to my SFC and SD2SNES again.

This question needs to be in a sticky FAQ.

Congratulations! I guess if you are getting a AV Famicom you might as well get a later, hopefully improved, one.
My only problems with the AV Famicom is the total lack of microphone circuitry.

Yeah only the OAM data readability, looped noise and the early broken Famicoms are really of concerns to users. The OAM bugs are only concern for the programmer.

 
 
 
 
Would love to get it working another way, but I can't think what the error might be unfortunately.  I used the same ROM and patch utility for each.

I'll try that...... I was just about to take the ram adapter apart!

I wasn't after any of them specially, I was just recently informed by MaarioS that the AV Famicoms have usually the latest revision, H, that should have the best video output.
Presumably.
Haven't looked into that in detail, I also have a standard Famicom (GPM-02) with G revision chips.
The difference between revisons can be in anything, from being able to display more advanced graphics to a better hadware chip layout which can lead to more clear video output.

For my needs (and 99% of users too) the only reason to have anything newer than the earliest revisions, is that the earliest revisions had problems displaying a few games (http://offgao.blog112.fc2.com/blog-entry-24.html) or a few sounds (https://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=13805.0).

Some details about differences (revisions G and H are listed as "no known differences"):

I was just hunting for a AV Famicom for a long time for a reasonable price, and this one cost me 50€ incl shipping at eBay. So VERY happy
...and the Hello Kitty is just hilarious

Hi. Did you remember to flip the disk over to Side B after the title menus?

BUMP! Who wants a stab at dumping a MMC3 Metal Force?!
