Yes.  I want a converter that makes NES games playable on the Famicom, one preferably with a shell.  How else am I going to get all of that Camerica/Battletoads goodness on my Famicom?? ;D  North America only.  I'm looking to spend under $20, but I'll take offers, I guess.  Thanks!

Camerica games were made in famicom format. Here is one containing 5 Camerica games (Big Nose Fraks Out, Big Nose the Caveman, Micro Machines, Ultimate stuntman and Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy):

I'll bet that cart is extremely hard to find, though.  Plus, I like the look of the gold/silver carts.  They're so unique...because they're unlicensed! :D

/\  what would be unique is a 70-62 pin converter...  I've got a 60-72 pin converter and a 72-60 pin converter, but I've certainly never seen a 70-62 pin converter yet  ;)

D'oh!  I didn't even catch that!  If one of the mods would like to change that, I'd appreciate it. I meant 72-to-60 pin converter.

Those Golden 5 Camerica games aren't that much hard to find - there are allways couple of them at "Allegro" but they truly are damn expensive...

I rarely see a Micro Machines anywhere (not counting eBay of course).

BICs are generally hard to find anywhere, from my experience. Taiwan auction sites doesn't have them too often -- I've only found five in about a year. I've come across a CIB Videomation in Argentina.

Yeah, you say it like it's a bad thing..!  As long as it works well, I don't see what the problem is :D

I got mine from http://www.consolegoods.co.uk/.
It works really well! Though I think he is currently out of stock now, so maybe check back in a while. :-\

nintendodork, not at all, i just had some tough ordeals with couple of these back in a days... works randomly, glitchy or just with a few games. I know - it could have been my hardware (famiclone) issue tho.
