sovl

vgh the sovlfvl look of original hardware
can't get this accuracy on an emulator

GOD DAMN IT

it's better to just import a Famicom so you don't have to deal with the toaster NES and its dumb jiggly cartridge slot

>>8581905
I take it NES carts and controllers don't work with the famicom right?

>>8581881
Anyone notice how it's always emufags seething about hardwarefags and hardly ever the other way around?

>>8581908
The Famicom has attached controllers and all you need for NES carts is a 72 to 60 pin converter, but you'd probably prefer an Everdrive anyway. And you can play games that use cart expansion audio without modifying anything.

>>8581909
No, I bully emufags all the time.

>>8581876
I might be wrong because I do not own a NES or Famicom yet, but I know that there is a cartridge related issue where you have to boil a part to make it work. That said I could be wrong so please don't boil your stuff without plenty of research first.
>>8581909
Not to mention the poster always uses that image as well. Why they are bound and determined to espouse emulation is beyond me since I would think most Anons do emulate as well as use real hardware..

>>8581876
Just take out the pin connector and bend the pins back in place and clean them, or boiling the thing works too.
I got lucky when I got my NES a few years back, thing had its pin connector replaced with a 3rd party one and although I was skeptical at first I think I lucked out in the end. I don't need to click it down after I insert a game, and it still works great to this day with very few hiccups. Don't know what kind of magic they used on that pin connector but it's pretty damn great as I've heard the horror stories about those things.

>>8581928
Is there an adapter for NES controllers?
On a side note, does anyone know of a place where I can buy an imitation Famicom controller for use with the NES, just for fun? I got an imitation dogbone controller lately and I'm having fun with it, wanted to get one shaped like the FC's for a while.

>>8581909
its pretty much always the other way around

>>8581876
The top of my NES is unscrewed because I open it up every time I insert a game. Much easier to get a game to work that way, I don't touch the internals when it's on of course

>>8581991
Super gamer challenge: Take a small zap from the circuitboard on your finger every death, for real gamers use Ghosts and Goblins or Battletoads

>>8581909
because hardwarefags dont have any legs to stand on
literally hoarding kids toys

>>8581958
>Is there an adapter for NES controllers?
What part of "the Famicom controllers are attached" did you not get?

>>8581876
For me, it was the blinking purple screen. Disabling the lockout chip helped with that, but there's still the matter of the pins.

>>8581991
Some carts work more easily than others as the PCB thicknesses aren't always consistent. SMB/Duck Hunt/WCM has a really thick PCB so that usually always works. I found Castlevania, Double Dragon, and Kiwi Kraze to have very thin PCBs and it's a real bitch to get those working.

>>8581959
Is that why we have not one but 2 threads in the catalog right now where emulatorfags voice how they cannot stand the existence of people who play on original hardware? >>8574128 >>8573543
Not to mention the countless other threads like this one where they need to stir up shit for no reason.
>>8582007
You make fun of people for "collecting children's toys" but spend hours on an anonymous Chinese cartoon forum auto-fellating about your preferred way to play with children's toys. You are no different from vegans.

>>8582046
I don't even play games anymore. I just come here to talk about them

>>8582010
It's a 40 year old system by now, surely someone figured something out, just thought I'd ask.

My toaster NES has a loose power jack anyway, it randomly shuts off. I need to fix that.

>>8582093
You can make it so with a hardware mod, just a bit of a pain in the ass.

Y'all should just tighten your pin connectors and then never push the cart down again. I did that in 2005 or so and my NES hasn't needed touched since to work just fine.

>>8581881
>tingle tingle kooloo limpah!

>>8582010
they have special connector in the front for the light gun

>>8581876
Works on my emulator.

>>8581876
well, that's why ya get a flashcart.

>>8581905

Get a Famicom AV instead. They can be had for around 100 or so dollars, they can take NES controllers and accessories, and they just work on American TVs versus the original Famicom (it tunes to channel 96 or so). Plus it uses composite instead of RF. Ironically this makes it possibly the cheapest 'best version' of the console, the top loader and front loader go for 100 dollars and they're both strictly inferior.

literally unplayable

>>8581958
>Is there an adapter for NES controllers?
Yes
You can ignore zoom zooms like >>8582010. Obviously dropped on the head as a baby, which was just a few years ago.

>>8582128
Lurk moar fucktard. You can just use an adapter.

>>8582336
This. One of the best retro consoles out there.

>>8582336
Famicom AV is the way to go but the Zapper won't work with them without a modification.

>>8582747
you would need a Famicom Zapper not the NES version

>>8582064
that's a cute gif ;)

>>8582046
>Anyone notice how it's always emufags seething about hardwarefags
>starts immediately seething hard
lmfao

>>8581958
You can make an adapter with a db15 connector and an nes extension cable, doesn't support all games though for some reason. Can also be made a lot nicer with a neogeo cable.

>>8581876
Ha some of mine do this now too

>>8581950
I've bought a 3rd party 72 pin connector and then an OEM and I can tell you neither have ever worked well. Every gaming sesh is only achieved upon minutes of jostling, reloading, and unfortunately, blowing on the cartridge.

>>8582046
These are made in response to the absolute ocean of seethe that plastic collectors have spewed into /vr/ over the short time it's been around, you turbo newfag.

>>8581876
Wipe and clean your carts out with rubbing alcohol until the oxidation is gone. If its still fucked, try a different cart. If everythings fucked, its because you got the wrong consle dumbass, the 101 toploader with AV output is cheaper/superior.

>>8581908
Yeah, you need a converter. In the olden days some carts had converters hidden underneath the NES cart case. (nintendo cheaped out during the chip shortage and just added a converter to save cash)

>>8582007
imagine trying to justify hoarding terabytes or even gigabytes of games you will never play, as if the act of downloading grants you some moral superiority

>>8581876
Keep your cart contacts clean, and store them where they won’t get dusty.

>>8581876
Take it out. Blow in it. Then push the cartridge in until it just barely clears enough to be pressed down. Then take another NES cartridge and push it in on top of it to hold it in the down position. Then press power.

If that doesn't work you will have to re-bend the pins.

>>8587789
With that said, while it is easy to find converters to use Famicom pads on NES for sale, the contrary isn't easy, probably because there is no real market for it (why would the Japanese care for that?)

I do have a converter to use NES pads on PC and I use it quite a lot for emulation despite owning an AV Famicom and an everdrive

>>8587836
I haven't heard of the compression trick in a long time. My brother used to jam a block in-between to compress the cartridge slot down. Eventually it was almost impossible to get a clean picture.
Another final solution trick was putting the game in about 1/2-2/3 of the way and not pushing it down at all.
