Fds to a Nes?

[cubelmariomadness]

I've heard that you have to open the case, then attach the game genie, which stretches out the 72 pin connector.

not worth all that to me. You could also get a PowerPak and play .FDS roms off that. Unidapter is your best bet for playing an actual FDS system on an NES.

Here's my setup:



Black RGB NES with sound knobs, extra sound channel mod, Unidapter with extra sound channel mod (on both NES and Famicom slots), Venus Game Converter, FDS system

just get a 60 to 72 pin adaptor and a game genie

With this, you need to remove the metal thing and open the NES... (nesplayer: here)

hmm. ok, so get  two game genies XD

[RGB_Gamer]

2 game genies will not work. Without the unidapter, there is no practical way of playing an FDS system on an NES. Your only other option is a top loading NES, or an AV Famicom

I'll probably just wait til' a unidaptor shows up. Sounds like the best choice.

[RGB_Gamer]

Yes probably. I was lucky to get mine. I stumbled upon it (I didn't even know that the Unidapter existed before) when doing a search on playing FDS on an NES, and then I came across nintendoage and a guy selling it there after a google search. The Unidapter is truly an interesting product, and basically makes an NES into a top loader. It's inteded purpose was for playing famicom/NES games on a PAL NES, but I use it to make my NES into a top loader for famicom and FDS.

Is the unidaptor removable, it looks like  HES intended you to glue it ontop of the NES, is there a way to take it off?

Of course. It is really just a glorified import converter that consists of 3 parts: The black NES cartridge that goes into the system, a grey flat cable in the middle, and the rectangular piece with the cartridge slots that flips over the door on the system. It is removable, and has a soft, velcro-like material so you don't scratch the top of your NES (since the cartridge slots part of it is metal). It seems to be rare, but not impossible to find. I was happy to find mine, and now my NES is essentially a top loading toaster NES
