    Default I just bought an AV Famicom and I have a few questions.

    Cheers to the guy whose title I ripped off wholesale

    So I was going back and forth between a couple of AV Famicoms on eBay - one was $30 more and the only difference was it had an extra dogbone controller and an extension port cover that the one I bought didn't have. Well, it also had a bunch of games I didn't want. The system I bought had Super Mario Bros and Donkey Kong, so that's a good start to add to the one other game I have (Devil World).

    So, two questions:

    1) Does anyone know where I can find an extension port cover? Does any member here have extras in good cosmetic shape (newish, hopefully - would like to match the quality of the system I bought)? One of the guys (the only guy?) who runs atariusa.com claimed to have them for sale at Famicom World in June of last year, but I'm not too excited about not being able to pay with Paypal.)

    2) With the use of cartridge adapters to play NES games, are there any games that *won't* function properly here (also I didn't purchase the $10 adapter from Stoneage as I'm aware you have to fenagle it to play nicely with AV Famis.)

    3) I've heard the evidence and I have to say I prefer the music of Castlevania III US over that of the JP equivalent - it just sounds more NES-y to me. Don't shoot me! Having said that, what other Famicom games have custom audio chips?
