Just got an AV Famicom. What's the best way to adapt NA NES games to it? I've seen a few decent DIY kits on ebay, and people don't report many problems with those, but I was wondering if there was another either ready-made option or something similar to the 5-screw Gyromite adapter that you can find in the wild.

What about actual carts, though?

>> No.8181651

>>8181629
The Everdrive is an actual cart. Games will play exactly the same.
Many chink adapters have too tight connectors that will damage the pins over time.

Not that hard to use the internet. Beware these will take a bite out of your cartridge casing if you pull the cartridge off in an awkward angle. My copy of Bucky O Hare got the corner of the cartridge broken because of these.

you should have gotten the NA version, then you could have cut out around the input port to get JP games to fit in. Not sure if you can do that with the famicom.

NA version has RF out only. Unless you able to find the rare AV version or mod in a AV port. At that point you might as well get the AV Famicom and then buy an Everdrive since tge NA Top Loader is expensive anyways. Also, Famicom carts a very cute. I've been waiting to get the Megaman games 2 thru 5, but shipping costs about the same as all the games.

Not that hard to read a post I intentionally wrote at a 6th grade level so you mongs wouldn't start screeching and banging your own heads in confusion and tard rage, but I guess I was being too generous. I've seen plenty of options of all varieties, but I'm just asking what the best one is in case I overlooked something. Clearly, my first inclination wasn't to come to you double-dozen chromosome carriers before looking shit up on fucking Google. The first mistake I made was thinking someone on this chimp-brained board actually had experience and insight on a relevant topic here. My bad.

>> No.8181798

>>8181595
Nice. I want one of these but I'm probably going to get an Everdrive for games. It would end up being cheaper than buying a Famicom Disk System and a combination of JP and US cartridges

Collect your shiny retarded carts and put them on a shelf. After you do that use an N8 to play the game. Problem solved

The adapter found in some NA games (like the 5-screw Gyromite I mentioned) doesn't work both ways, ree-ree. Seriously, pay attention in school instead of being wrong about old video games on fucking 4chan or yngmi.

I'm not the sort of "collector" that just gets shit to get shit. I only want a handful of titles to actually play on OG hardware, most of which I already have and didn't spend more than like $15 on any one of them; most of them are from my childhood collection. The AV Famicom is the best and most practical OG hardware option since the pins won't wear down like on the NA toaster, it has composite output unlike the NA top-loader, and it doesn't cost a fortune like a few other more obscure options. Everdrives seem fine, but I'd rather just pay around $20 - $50 for an adapter that won't defeat the purpose of having the good pin connector by wrecking it with an ill-fit so I can just play the games I already have without spending more than I did on the console itself to have an SD loader.

I was referring to a potentially ill-fitting adapter, fuckwit. I'm sure the Everdrive works fine in like 99% of cases, but it's not what I'm looking for.

The toaster is garbage, and the top-loader has a shit signal. Literally the only hurdle to overcome with the AV Famicom is adapting games, which seems to have myriad universal solutions and I foolishly came here thinking someone would have some experience with the best ones.

I don't understand why you bought this garbage, but I guess you're just one of those retarded collector types. Composite is better than RF, but really not by much. And the dogbone controllers, with the super short Japanese cords? What a waste of time.

Just fucking emulate, nerd. If you need it on a CRT, buy one of the dozen sensible solutions instead, even a fucking Wii is a smarter buy than this shit.
