Fds to a Nes?

[cubelmariomadness]

I am wondering how you'd connect a Famicom disk system with a toaster NES. Is there some kind of super long adapter? I don't want to open it up, because it is too much work just to play some games, i don't wanna strip the screws, and i'm afraid i'll get dust in it. so is there some long adapter, or i am out of luck.

I'm thinking you would need a famicom to nes converter because there is one fundamental problem with your idea before you can even connect them... the pins are not compatible. The ram adaptor on the fds has 60 to the nes 72. Get a converter and you may have some luck.

I kno, i was wondering if tere was a super long converter so i could connect without taking stuff apart.

[cubelmariomadness]

Ohhh. looks hard, would it ruin a disk system? i mght just do an adapter tower if the welding is prone to mistakes.

[cubelmariomadness]

Ok thanks, seems pretty simple, i'll study the diagram, thanks for the info!

[cubelmariomadness]

Thank you!

[cubelmariomadness]

If you get the HES Unidaptor, just disable the lockout chip on your NES and then you can use the FDS without worrying about plugging in an official NES cartridge.

[cubelmariomadness]

where are they normally found?

[cubelmariomadness]

Oh, i checked, and there's none there. I'll probaly just go with your method once i have enough money.

I have an HES Unidapter that I got from a guy in Australia. He is a member of Nintendoage.

To play FDS on an NES with this adapter didn't require me to plug in an official NES cart in the slot. I think you need an official NES cart in the slot when using the Unidapter with a PAL NES, in which case a PAL NES cart is plugged into the back slot, and then you can plug in a famicom cart in the middle or US cart in the front.

The Unidapter really is the only sure way of playing FDS games on NES. Of course, the PowerPak lets you play .FDS roms, but a Unidapter is best for playing an actual FDS system on NES. They are rare though.

Where'd you get yours?

Oh...Stupid me.
