NES to Famicom Adaptors (72-60)

[2A03]

Does anyone use one of these? I've got one and I hate it, mainly because you have to get the game in a certain position in order for it to start. It's about as finicky as my front-loading NES.

I have a Yobo Famicom...it works pretty well. My Famicom>NES converter only works on it, and not the real Famicom I own, though...

The Yobo converter is a total peice of shit. You owe it to yourself to buy something more decent.

I have a NASA brand converter which works great on my locked NES. It uses some kind of transistor circuit to knock out the lockout chip .

Agreed, I pretty much got so pissed at it that it's covered in scratches...from me throwing it into the box...after it bounced off the wall.

Ha, I knew it. So what converter works the best then?

I agree with 133 that the NASA converters work great. I bought mine a long while ago from a dude on eBay. He was selling a bunch of them for $12 each. He had them in his store, so if you search right you might find them. Or you could always try to find the official Nintendo ones in the Gyromite carts.

I was talking about the opposite (NES to Famicom).

[Jedi Master Baiter]

I believe you can get those cheaper.  I've seen some on eBay for about $10.  I can't vouch for any of them though.

I got one of those converters from a Famiclone I used to own. The only bad thing about them is for some reason the US versions of Castlevania 1 and Super Mario Bros. 2 won't work on a real Famicom. Could it be the adapter I have?

[nemerodius]

Hi guys, does anybody know if a bridge adaptor exists to allow us/english nes games to be played on the famicom?

[2A03]

Yeah, there's several out there. Just stay away from the Yobo adapter, since it only works like 25% of the time and (apparently) damaged someone's Famicom. I have the Family Converter, which is just a bare board. It works really well, but it's very hard to get in and out.

I sell the bare family converter ones ($6 each or 3 for $10). Someone else just told me that it's pretty tight because they're a little wide. He said he sanded down the sides a little bit. I'd think you'd want them somewhat tight since they don't have the extra support as a cartridge shell does.

In the NES cart facing away, adaptor forward?

hmm i have a yobo converter and it works fine in a famicom & av famicom
