Machine power to play games

[Donnaphan]

Good day All,

I ma very curious about Famicom machines and the fake ones - reason being is i noticed how the fake ones run on a lower Voltage and Amps - but the origional is closer to 1A and 9 V (Fake is 0,5A)

Now i cant seem to run all my games on the fake machines and was wondering if this has anything to do with power or Ram?

Famiclones run on less voltage and power because they are more power efficient and are far more consolidated. Whether a famiclone plays certain games comes down to functional compatibility. The NES/FC is extremely flexible with a lot of signals on its cartridge slot. If some signals are missing, then some games won't work.

So its not always a power or ram issue then... wow i have my work cut out for me lol.
The reason i was so sure is that the smaller games that have 52 in 1 run well but as soon as I place a heavy cart like star wars or any single type game - it wont load or loads a very bad looking screen

As well to note - i am only playing Famicom carts or the clones not NES or with the NES adaptor - not sure if that means anything
