Well, just wanted to add my 2 ¢ regarding what already has been said....The Hong Kong Famicom does indeed have NTSC PPU & CPU with the addition of flip signal converter....I got one from another fellow member..Removed the existing clk signals and installed my own NTSC master Clock circuit:



Here you can see can see the 3 native jumper wires that go to the PAL converter near the RF (yellow/orange/red):




And finally, a quick NTSC AV mod:

I would trade my original Japanese Famicom in a second for a HK Famicom, they are so awesome. Any takers?

Whoa, where can I buy one?

Glad to see you were able to make something of it. Mighty fine AV mod as usual.

The only difference between this A/V modded Hong-Kong Famicom and a regular Famicom is the sticker.  Not to mention if you have an unmodded one, the picture won't work iirc.

Stickers. Every sticker is in English, the front sticker says Hong Kong version, and the bottom plate has a sticker that has all the HK part numbers. That one that ooXxXoo modded used to be mine.

I realize this is an old thread, but I have a weird Famicom/Makko combination somewhat like the images in the first post.
I have some questions, and wanted to show y'all the combo I have here.

Searching all over the web, I have not found any images with this exact Makko Power/RF PCB (BN5060 II Super).
Also, I haven't seen any attached to a GPM-02 mainboard.
This is a round-button Famicom, and the sticker on the bottom has the "VCI logo" (HC3066046).
When they added the Makko PCB, they also seem to have broken the capacitor "C5" (Top view).
The white wire (Bottom view) is connected at that point:

Un-capped RF module (the cap has "Makko" embossed):


RF module sticker:


A few years ago, I AV modded this Famicom with some success. (Mod removed, visible in Bottom view (top-left))
It seems to have failed now. (Colors were off, and sound was buzzing)
I'm planning to do a new AV Mod, but I have a few questions:
- Do I actually need an AV Mod, or could I wire directly to the Makko PCB? (I live in the Netherlands, so PAL = Good)
 * Notice the free contacts on the RF Module, near the MK5060 IC
- What advantages or disadvantages do I have (living in a PAL region), having this Makko "modification"?
- What are the 3 (I see ground) short red wires for? (Top view, "connector" P3)
- What are the 3 long wires for? (White, red and yellow)
- Anything else someone could tell me about this configuration?

Thanks for your replies!
