    Do the decent thing and get it a peg-leg and an eyepatch! ARRRRRR! I mean, that's how they used to patch up pirates in the old days wasn't it?

    I have the adapter, but I also have a reverse 72-60 adapter for the pirated NES (and paid extra for it too).

    I suppose I could try to retool the system again. It displays the picture on the TV, but the controllers don't work.

    I just tried that. Unfortunately, it just makes my Famicom look like a LA Raiders huddle doll. Thanks though. : )

    Now that you mention it, my Famicom does kinda resemble something out of Fisher Price. : )

    I'll look into the Twin Famicom. Thanks!
