Last Famicom game you played?

[nurd]

50 minutes isn't that bad.

When I was playing Zelda: Windwaker, I started playing, and the next thing I knew, it was 3 days later and I had finished the game. I didn't sleep at all, and I only got up to go to the bathroom a couple times, and to grab munchies when I ran out of them.

Um...I played gameboy Tetris for an hour once.
xD

Oh...Um.....Mario Bros 3. BEST GAEM EVAR?

I was playing a pirate Mario 2 cart on my NES. Had fun, but even better than the game was the list of instructions on the converter.

It's a NASA Converter, nothing special, and it reads as follows:

REMARKS: Since this is a sophisticated apparatus, should avoid to operate or to store under extreme temperature also avoid violent bumps is necessary; moreover, never disassemble it.

• Combining your game cartridge with this converter, then, insert them into your console.


• If you find the picture is flashing or isn't operating after turning the power on, please push "reset" button 3 to 5 seconds and releave. It will be ok.

My favorite part is their warm reassurance that things will be okay. I wish people told me that more often!

A side note, the converter got its revenge on me. When I went to remove the cart and converter from the NES the ribbon came out... and that was all.

I have the same converter, but the ribbon never gave up on me . Does your converter use a lockout chip stunner circuit? Mine does and I'm looking to replace it with a real CIC for instant boot-up times.

[PatMan33]

You've got me on that question, I'd try to find out for you but I'm not quite sure how I'd go about it.

There's a nice dissertation on the back of the Mario 2 cart as well, looks like the cart and the converter came from the same people. I wish I knew more about these pirate carts.

Open it up carefully, and look for an IC socket. If there's nothing there, your converter cannot work on a standard NES. If you see some kind of McGyver-esque thing with transistors, diodes and resistors, your converter has a lockout stunner, it generates a strong negative voltage spike to knock the lockout chip inside your NES unconscious so it won't reset the game once per second due to the lack of a lockout chip inside the converter. If you see a proper chip in the socket, then it's got a CIC clone.

[PatMan33]

There's a small cut out in the bottom where the 72-pin connector that I can see though. There's a whole mess of diodes and whatnot that can be seen from there.

The thing works on my NES anyway, so would that mean that it's there?

[133MHz]

Yep, it's got a CIC taser . And I bet it takes a second or two for the game to display properly.

[PatMan33]

Cool beans! I always learn something new when I talk to you.

[FamicomFreak]

I played a little bit of Racca and Spartan X2. Then that kunio dodgeball game.
