That is one cool looking pirate cart. Where is the ribbon for the converter though?

[FamicomFreak]

If it's honey bee I'm not sure it has one. I like the mario 3 pirate cart looks pretty kewl and mario is nowhere to be seen!

I don't think HoneyBees came with ribbons. I have HoneyBee where someone put together two pieces of black electrical tape to make a ribbon.

[MaxXimus]

Would it not get stuck without something to pull it out?

I think people with small hands (or a pair of screwdrivers) could take the cart by the sides and pull the entire thing out. I can't .

[MaxXimus]

Well mine has a ribbon so it's all good. Mine has either Korean or Thai(I think it's Korean) writing on it. It's kind of neat.

[JC]

From my experience with ribbonless converters, the connection between the converter and the cart is tighter than the connection between the converter and the system, so they come out pretty easily. I do, however, prefer to use my converters that have ribbons...because the ones with ribbons are guaranteed to come out every time.

[MaxXimus]

My converter is extremely tight when it comes to attaching and detaching the cart.

i don't care if it has a ribbon because my NES is open [i took off my cover]


my nes

Haha...I do the same thing, only I keep mine with the unscrewed top on it -- to keep the dust out.

[Jollie]

for the adapter thing all you do is put the nes thing in down position and wiggle the cart as the thing releases and comes up. thats what i do at least and i havent gotten it stuck yet.
