i when ahead and bought the 20.79 focalprice famiclone and when i got it and plugged it in,  i saw that it appeared to be malfunctioning. it can read games fine the only problem is the tv screen scrolls up and down really fast. anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?
I am a big Nintendo fan! especially GameBoy, N64, SFC, GC. And of course Mario games
I collect SFC/N64 mainly. Some rare famicom stuff too. Also miscellaneous video game stuff.

Have you tried adjusting the vertical hold on your television? Perhaps it's an incompatible video signal.

Try a converter. If you can get the picture to stop scrolling with vhold, you can get a rather inexpensive PAL to NTSC converter that will make the picture show in color.

But it's just a famiclone. Unless you collect, why not just get an official system.

I have a famicom but I wanted to get a famiclone so i would not wear out my famicom by testing all the famicom games i am reselling. i think i am just going to get another famiclone that is NTSC. if anyone has a link to were i can buy one for around $25.00 shipped or less, please let me know. Thanks

You might be better off just playing games on your Famicom, IMO.
