4 player Famicom games on NES

[DogSpirit]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to get 4 player Japanese games (ex. Super Dodgeball) to recognize the 3rd and 4th controller on the NES. I'm using the Four Score.


thanks!

The Famicom used a special port for peripherals and I'd assume that the game would be looking for a multi-tap plugged into said port. So I don't think you can use your Four Score adapter with Japanese Famicom games that support 3 or more players. It's the same way with how the Zapper light gun won't work with an AV Famicom even though both it and the NES use the same controller ports.
