    Default 72 pin to 60 pin NES to Famicom adaptors

    I bought a bunch of 72 pin to 60 pin converters and found I only needed a few for my little experiments. I have 2 left over, they are open for trade or paypal. These enable NES carts to be played on a Famicom. Please pay attention to that fact!



    I'm after the following NES carts in good shape, labels intact, willing to buy:

    Powerblade
    Shatterhand
    Pac Man (Tengen preferably)
    Lolo 2

    Definately deal with Bratwurst one these if you need one.

    I traded him a 60 to 72 pin adapter a few months ago for one of these 72 to 60 pins. I was able to permanently mount one in a famicom. Now I have the equivalent of a spare toploader with AV out.

    Hey, nice. What did you do, solder it in place within the card edge connector or make a bridge with some wires? If you mounted it somehow in there I would like to see a picture, always dig that kind of thing.

    Thanks for the good word buddy.

    It was even simpler than that. I was able to remove the 2 screws holding down the famicom's cartridge connecter, and screw 2 threaded aluminum standoffs in place of the screws. The standoffs were the perfect height, allowing me to plug in the adapter and then screw 2 screws through the holes in the adapter (as seen in the photo above) into the otherside of the standoff. It looks good and best of all no permanent damage to the unit.

    The system itself isn't really a famicom, rather a famiclone. It has strange writting, maybe russian? I picked it up in the free pile at one of digitalpress' game nights. (one more reason to hit the regional trade events - you never know what you will get). It had a 220V power supply, and everyone who saw it figured it was a megadrive clone. It wasn't until I got it home I realized what it was. Now I've got the equivalent of a toploader with AV out.

    Any Left?

    If so, I'll take one.

    If not, cool.

    First and only bump. Waiting to hear back from Spoon, but there's at least one left anyway.
