A free Honey Bee Famicom to NES convertor in a Super C bootleg!
Instead of the Konami logo on the title screen, it has a cheat code written for 30 lives!
Anyone else found anything interesting inside a bootleg?

Wow, the NES portion looks disgusting. :puke:
Didn't find anything cool on the inside, but some pirate copied the warnings on the back of a Sega Genesis cart on my pirated Pa-Man game.

Solid find. I've never found anything cool in a bootleg.

My guess is because it's a poor quality pirate convertor, instead of one made by a better company. :-D
I've never looked inside any of the pirates I've come across, I'm guessing most of the North American ones are probably like that.

It looks ROTTEN, not rusted or anything!

The converter board there looks like it was an acid-etched PCB, which is very cool and suggests a small run. The contact metal is most likely copper or tin, which doesn't hold up well over time if it isn't treated or plated with gold.

My brothers 76in1 has an adapter board like that, but much better quality.
My cousin had a bootleg NES cart, 31in1 I think, and it was actually just a FC cart with a honeybee attached. I thought it was pretty cool, but had no idea what it was at the time.

That one? That's my wife's - she loves it. Those little converters with the blue ribbon are quite common.

I think that's the same one.
The ribbon looks familiar.
I guess the converter is just generic, and not a honeybee.
