    Default NES to Famicom converter?

    Is there a converter out there that I can play US NES games on Famicom systems?

    I know that there are plenty of converters for Famicom to NES but I was wondering about the other way around.

    They do exist, I have one. I can't help with where you can buy one though. The place I got mine from doesn't stock them anymore.

    Yobo makes one and they were packing them in with the FC Game Console Famiclone's a couple years ago. I got rid of the adapter with the clone system though since for some reason the adapter wouldn't work with the AV Famicom that I have. Would love to know of a place to buy a none Yobo adapter since most online stores I run into only sell that one.

    I had a wet dream that I would import a Twin Famicom and run NES games on it (plus get some FDS crap as well).

    I'm not sure where you can pick one up, but for fun, here's a pic of one I bought a few weeks ago:

    Does that one have the NES cartridge label facing forward when plugged in?

    It annoys me me slightly that with mine you can only see the back of the cartridge.

    Looks like I'm getting the Twin Fami from GarrettCRW. I'll update when I get it with the converter.

    What about a place that sells famicom to NES adapters? I could use one of those.

    Is that the Yobo NES to Famicom adapter that you sell? If it isn't I might have to buy one since the Yobo one that I had wouldn't work at all on my AV Famicom but worked fine on clone systems.

    No this is Yobo.

    I don't know anyone that makes either converter anymore. Yobo just has old stock.

    I keep telling these companies to make Famicom to NES, but none of them seem interested.

    Sorry, just reading this now. It faces forward with this convertor.
