    Go full Famicom with Doki Doki Panic.

    You'll be needing a Disk System for that :cool: Mind you I haven't bothered playing the game since I took this pic over a year ago. Sorry if the pic's a bit big. Also SMB2/USA is an upgrade of DDP, with extra animations and the ability to run.

    Just picked up a
    NES to FC adapter, will this let me play Pal games right off the bat?

    Indeed it will as the Famicom doesn't have any region lockout chip or anything like that and I use one all the time.
    You will run into timing issues with the music on some games but the games will play.

    Just ordered a few bits for the Famicom.
    Star Soldier, Commando and Bungeling Bay or something, anywho I'm also watching out for a cheap Super Mario USA.

    You could always take a risk and get a job lot. I've gotten quite a few of them and you do get some decent games.

    Yeah I second the job lot, get some good titles in them if you get the right bundle.

    I got 90% of my Jap saturn games from a lot and I cleaned up. It wasnt from a regular ebay lot seller though but still worth the risk

    Yeah I pasted that here after I translated it back from Japanese. Talk about gibberish.

    Excuse me did you see a black car on the night the rain turned to snow? No? Smeg!

    Even though I've got loads of stuff since my last post in here I've been really lazy with with regard to showing them off. This one is different, though. :)

    It got to the house yesterday but, I wasn't at home to receive it. :mad: (Bloody An Post. I'm in the house until 9:45 every morning and usually they're banging the door down at 8 trying to deliver stuff and the one thing I've really been waiting for in months happens to be late)

    I've yet to test it but, it's in great condition if a little yellowed. AV modded, also, which brings me to ask EnterNow a question... The Famicom AV mod you did in the past, was it stereo or mono? I haven't read up on if it's possible to output stereo but, I'm sure it is. Mine is mono it appears and if it can indeed output stereo I'd like to fix that.

    Hey!

    I've one of those!

    I must say, mine looks a lot less yellow in a photo!

    The Famicom does too! ;)

    WooHoo, Famicoms for everyone.
    At least I might have some local customers for my massive stash of Famicom games when I eventually stick them up for sale.

    Massive stash of Famicom games? Your shop will ruin me.

    Well, I've been building up some stock as things came my way.
    I didn't realise the number of famicom games had gotten so high. I'll probably start selling them on ebay in the next while to get the number down a bit as it ridiculous.

    Yeah mine too. You can see it's original glory just lying underneath the power and reset stickers. :rolleyes:

    Can one restore the metal finish on the controllers?
    That's the one thing that lets it down.
    But otherwise it's a beaut.
    I seem to be bidding on Famicom carts all over the place!
    A job lot would be ideal but I'm not spending that sort of money on a gamble.

    I'd go halves on you with a job lot if you wanted? Need to boost up my famicom collection too.

    @Relikk -Yep the one I done for Atavan was mono. They can be stereo modded but its a totally different mod :)
