WTB: stack-up cart for nstc nes with a famicom to nes adapter inside.

[FamicomFreak]

LOL what reason did you have not to?

Well the guy who had the game was charging other people a lot of money for lame games so I figured he would charge me a lot for the stack up. Since it's worth at least 20 bucks it would have been worth it.

I don't want to buy a gyromite or hogans alley cart, because i don't want to go through the trouble of opening up and destroying a bunch of carts, only to relise i haven't found a single converter.

Also, i am only going to need 1 converter so i cans make a converter cart to play all my famicom games on my nstc nes. Also, nintendodork can you sell me one of those blue bible adventures carts?

There's no need to destroy anything. The early NES games use standard flathead screws.

if that's the case, i could try my father's hogan's alley cart, Thanks for the info.

I have yet to find a Gyromite or Hogan's Alley (Wrecking Crew, etc.) with a converter in it.  My Stack Up does have one, but I haven't bothered trying it yet as I already owned a famicom and famicom disk beforehand (found the Stack Up for $10 a month or so ago).

I would think just getting a real famicom would be more interesting, and I would expect the NES to have problems playing many of the more advanced Famicom games (once my Akumajou Densetsu (Castlevania III) cart gets here I plan on finally trying out the converter so I can do an A/B test of what will happen with the VRC6 chip, etc.).  Though I'm sure the answer to that must already be known.

i won't buy a famicom because i won't buy a nes to fc adapter to play my nes carts on it and i already have a nes i also do not have much money anyways. Also how does the 3 or 5 pin thing work, ya' know the system that you use to tell if a nes cart contains a converter?

All the info you need.

I still don't understand what it means by pins.

If you already have the NES, there would be no need to buy a 72-60 pin converter to bother playing them on the FC (the NES to FC converter I have doesn't even work).  I was saying that an NES with a converter would not be able to play all Famicom games to their full potential, which may leave you disappointed.  Also, games like Zelda are interesting to rediscover with the use of the microphone that you can't do on an NES.

I'd much rather save up for a Famicom then use a converter.  I didn't think it'd be that much better than a NES, but it is....by a long shot.

[son_ov_hades]

Playing FC games on a NES is fine, I did it for months.

[nintendodork]

But a Famicom is better, right?

[son_ov_hades]

Eh, the original Famicom kind of sucks imo. I have to sit basically with the console on my lap to play it. The Famicom is cool for the extra sound channels and FDS, but the NES 2 is better imo. Now if we're talking about the AV Famicom or Twin Famicom, that's a different story.

Get a wireless controller   But yeah, Twins are awesome.  Especially the green/black ones.

My Famicom is a Twin AN-505-BK (got it with the box too).  I'm guessing it (mostly black with a green bar, power button, and numbers on the controllers) must be the green/black one you are referring to.  I've never played an original one.

Nevermind i found a cart, should i lock or delete this thread?
