to play Famicom games on a NES? its actually a Retro Duo Portable, i read in a review that it will play FC games if a converter is used. I think i got the wrong one.

I mean, it's pretty self-explanatory. NES to FC means you can play NES games on a Famicom, which is what the picture shows. Even in the title, "NES game work on Famicom"...

You need a 60 pin to 72 pin converter. A 72 pin to 60 pin converter is useless if you want to game on a RetroDuo Portable.

thats what i have, a retro duo portable. it was actually your video that made me get it. i then got the 72 to 60 converter but i dont see how it works with the duo.

you need to make a tower.

FC game cart (label facing away from you)
\/
Famicom (60 pin) to NES (72 pin) adapter
\/
RetroPort Adapter (either the one that comes with the RDP or the standalone one)
\/
RDP

Because of that, and the fact that it's suppose to be portable, I don't really recommend doing it, but hey, do whatever you feel is best.

now i see the problem, there is no 60 to 72 adaptor. they are all 72 to 60.

I've got a honeybee and an ntdec converter too and they're great.

AWESOME. I got the last one . I have about 100 FC games that i would just like to casually play and I think i would enjoy this. thank you guys.

[Tanooki]

Cool, good job. I'm up to 21 myself, 4 of them are famiclones but there's no shame in that considering the real versions are annoyingly expensive. :D What's nice is that 3 of them are old school clones using real chips, no wussy gloptops. :D

[LimitedEditionMuseum]

got the converter today and it works great. the only problem is it is in 2 pices and it comes apart when taking it out of the RDP. now i can play these FC games.

[Gatucaman]

Holy shit, why are these adaptors so damn expensive?

[Tanooki]

Because they know its the cheaper route over a Famicom and having to buy an added US adapter for it. I have a pair of them due to cost if one wants to act up. I had one, but lucked into a 3am windfall weeks ago getting two more with expensive games attached super cheap but promised one of them to another so it's gone.

20 bucks is expensive?
