    Default Where to find an adaptor and RF switch for Family Computer

    I have a Family Computer that I need an adaptor and RF switch for.

    That's the system I'm talking about. If you know where I can find the accessories, I'd appreciate it if you could post links. Thanks

    Well I have a new question then. Will the US NES adaptor work for it? I'd appreciate it if someone can answer this. Thanks.

    Yes, I own one.

    You can use a NES and a SNES RF adapter.
    You can use a NES power supply. I use my Famicom one for my NES, though.


    The original Famicom RFadapters are weird. For the oldstyle prong TVs.

    I heard something about putting it on channel 95 or 96 when using it. Is this true? I just tried it and nothing came out even on those 2 channels. I cleaned the games and cleaned the cart slot with canned air. Anyone know what the problem is. I doubt it's busted as I've just kept it in the box for so long so it was just in there and it worked before. I'd appreciate a response. Thanks.

    Channel 1, and sometime 12-13 works. 1 is more reliable, though. You have to set the Famicom to channel 3 for it to work on channel 1. (I think? Well, there's only two options.)
