    Default Famicom Multicart Pirate to US NES shell

    I have a friend who recently invested in a YOBO US NES style FC Mini, and has been poking around for a good HK multicart for a while now.

    Unbeknownst to him, I had a spare multicart that I was willing to give him (he REALLY wanted SMB 2 JAP which is on there) ... I had pretty much all of the games on it on other multicarts that I owned ... what I DIDN'T have to give him was a spare HK HoneyBee or official 1985 Gyromite adapter, so, to date I hadn't even offered the cartridge to him.

    In the meantime, I've been checking the DP store for launch, no-top-tab standard-screw NES games that might have the official adapter in them, OR a HoneyBee style adapter ... and up till today I'd had no luck finding one.

    TODAY, finally, they had a HoneyBee style adapter traded in that I bought, so I took it home and decided instead of giving my friend the Famicom Multicart with the adapter (I know he's really not an import enthusiast and doesn't have any use for the adapter as a multi-use tool) I decided to gut an old copy Gyromite and make a permanent US style cartridge out of it.

    Of course, in doing that, and finishing off the project as a "nice" looking gift - I had to make a LABEL for it ... I couldn't just give it to him with the Gyromite label on it. SO, I jumped onto photoshop and made a nice design, and printed it to a glossy label to adorn the newly crafted US NES multicart with.

    Here's what I finished up with ... what do you guys think?

    (And yes, I did keep BOTH the adapter AND the multicart shells so everything can go back as it was if there's ever any need for that.)
