Connecting the FDS to a front-loading NES

[UglyJoe]

So now i would have to solder one of the unused game pins on the NES cart connector to where on the expansion port?

I have an RGB modded (not modded by me) NES system and I was wondering if there was any kind of way to play FDS system on my system without having to open up the top and daisy chain converters/game genie.

thanks!

If it's a toaster, I'm sure there's no easy way to do it.

As for all NESes, won't you not be able to hear the expansion sound channels anyway?

Please read UglyJoe's linked thread. It explains how to mod a NES for extra FDS sound in great detail. The rest is just mechanical aspects that can be solved with a chain of Game Genies.

Pretty huge headache, tho. I mean it's cool that you CAN do it, but seriously, just buy a Fami, AV Fami or Twin Fami. If space is an issue, get an AV Fami, they're tiny. Heck, perch it on top of a front-loader.

Reason I asked about FDS on an NES is my NES is RGB modded and AV fami/Twin fami I have never seen an RGB mod for those.

The RGB mod involves replacing the PPU so it should be the same procedure for the Famicom.

I talked to acem77, the guy who did my RGB NES, and he says it's such a pain to mod a famicom, that the amp had to be external since it's such a tight fit. I don't really care much about the design of the famicom and hardwired buttons either.

Well, that's not true :/ You can easily fit the amp circuit in both Famicom and Famicom AV consoles. Here's a pic of my RGB modded Famicom AV for reference:



And it can be even tinier if you use SMD components.

I have a Unidapter so I can now use it with my RGB NES. And yes, the famicom/FDS extra sound channels are supported

RGB,

that is pretty slick. Have you ever RGB modded a Twin Famicom before?
