I've seen conflicting answers

>>2734651

Use your brain.

>>2734653
rude

>>2734650
>>2734653
Why would you type all of that instead of "no"

>>2734660
Because I'm not some spoonfeeding faggot.

>>2734663
Just a regular faggot then.

If you pay attention OP made a two part question.

There's still a difference in the number of pins between NES and Famicom, even if the 2nd model NES isn't a toaster. So you still need an adaptor of some sort.

Since it seems the answer is generally no, what is a fair price for an AV Famicom then?

>>2734679

Are we a market place now or some shit?

www.ebay.com

>>2734684
I said fair price, not ebay price

>>2734676

> how would I go about playing Famicom games on one?

You little dickhole.

NES games use 72 pins. Famicom games use 60 pins, IIRC. So no, Famicom games won't work on a U.S. top-loading NES or front-loading NES without an adapter of some sort. You could hunt for one of those Gyromite carts with an adapter inside, although they'll be difficult to find. Try to get a good third-party adapter if you want to play Famicom games, just be aware that games with chips that allow extra sound channels won't work on a stock NES.

reddit has arrived.

>>2734721
Don't destroy legit (also actually rare) cards for this. Those adapters are cheap as fuck and you can get them almost anywhere

>>2734732
>cheap as fuck
Not even

>>2734738

is 8 dollars expensive to you?

>>2734739
Where the hell are you seeing them for 8 bucks?

>>2734739
i always see some asshole say theyre only 5-$8 but never provide any link and the lowest ive seen on ebay is $10. maybe theyre cheaper somewhere else but i dont know where else to look.

>>2734768
>ebay
That's your problem, they'll be trying to hustle you, people will charge like 200 dollars for a 32X on there, which they aren't even close to worth, hell, that's way more than what they went for when it was new.

Don't go buying your shit on ebay.

>>2734790
This is why I fucking asked what a fair price is for an AV Famicom but some asswipe said to go to ebay

>>2734793

Just buy an NES you weeb.

>>2734732
I'm normally on the "don't destroy games" bus, but Gyromite is only functional with a ROB, and I guarantee you there are far more Gyromite carts than functioning ROBs out there. I found a Gyromite cart with an adaptor inside, and I will guiltlessly cut that thing up good as soon as I pick up some famicom games.

>>2734739
>>2734756
You're missing the point entirely. If a few dollars is too expensive for you, then you shouldn't be playing physical games. Do you guys all just have shitty jobs or what? I hate faggots like you who would rather destroy a game than spend a few bucks on a converter or just buy a fucking Famicom.

>>2734904
>I guarantee you there are far more Gyromite carts than functioning ROBs out there
Retard logic. If everybody goes around thinking that, then soon enough there WON'T be any Gyromite games left. Why don't you just get a decent fucking job, you fucking failure?

>>2734796
But I want to play exclusives and NES' are fucking expensive

>>2734924
That's just naked experience. I've found a couple dozen different loose Gyromite carts in the wild before on my hunts. Never before have I come across a ROB.

>>2734924
Well you're a douche

>>2734952
Most gyromites are 5-screws using the old-style NES 'security' screws which were actually really easy to unscrew with a flathead. Instead of ripping the cart apart or something, please instead consider using the very easy method of opening up 5-screw NES games, lest another irreplaceable cartridge be needlessly eviscerated.

He is right that we shouldn't treat gyromite carts as infinite, even if it's not all that playable whether you have a ROB or not. That's why I suggest the lesser of evils, you get your converter and no carts have to be destroyed in the process.

You guys sure get trigged over the prospect of some common, crap game getting used for a bettor purpose.

>>2734919
You're missing the point, the point is 30 dollars isnt just a few dollars. That gets a couple more games. Whoever says they are just a few dollars is a fucking liar.

>>2734924
If you were to destroy every gyromite cart ever nothing of value would be lost.

I think the price disparity arises from those kind of people who just google stuff and then arrogantly spout the shit they think they know but haven't actually done for themselves and so often are missing a crucial part, and then they repeat it. I love correcting those kind of people.
An adapter for playing 72 pin NES games on a 60 pin Famicom is a simple PCB with little to no components on it and can be bought for just a few dollars

An adapter for playing 60 pin Famicom games on a 72 pin NES requires the NES security chip to be on the adapter since no Famicom games have it. It's part of what pushed up the price of NES games ever since the beginning and it still pushes up the price of these adapters. You WILL pay $10-$15 for one unless you turn over massive amounts of carts and get lucky enough to find one of the precious few still running around in the "wild" i.e. big lots of cheap games that haven't been combed by some other nerd yet.

reek of buzzfeed kids react meme much?

dont you know what a fucking converter is?

>>2735107
the thing that comes inside gyromite carts with 5 screws :^)

>>2735113
>Implying all 5-screw Gyromites have converters
>Implying there are 3-screw Gyromites

>>2735093

$8 free shipping @leexpriss

>>2735130
I don't think so.

>>2735146

I'm looking at it right now.

>>2735149
Prove it faggot.

>>2735153

It's more fun to watch you think that I'm wrong. It really is $8 + free shipping, though. Consider it like an easter egg hunt and keep searching!

>>2735156
Yeah I'll do that. Hold your breath.

>>2734703
>>2734712

>>2735156
you are wrong. You're the same faggot who does this in every thread mentioning them and you never provide evidence. You're a loser cause you do this all the time just to fuck with the people and nobody ever falls for it cause we know you're a faggot.

>>2735130
kill yourself for free

>getting this salty because you can't properly find shit on aliexpress

>>2735202
you're not fooling anyone.

>>2735093
Disabling the lockout chip is something every NES owner should do regardless. The 10NES is nothing but trouble.

>>2735204

>>2735228
where is the rest of it? That is about as effective as using a gyromite cart you faget

>>2734904
this isn't true at all; plug a 2nd controller in and use that to control the pipes.

I played Gyromite all the time as a kid and we NEVER had a ROB.

>>2735223
top loaders don't have lockout chips.

>>2735407
it works perfectly fine.

>>2735414
It works fine on your toploader but for people who dont have those it's shit and looks like shit to boot.

Why not just get a famicom?

>>2735427
Not the guy you are trying to argue with, but you sir are fucking dumb.

You claimed you need an adapter with a lockout chip, which isn't true since all you need to do is disable the lockout on your toaster, which you should do anyways. You claimed you couldn't get an adapter for less than $10, he proved you wrong.

You are wrong AND being butthurt about it. Stop being stupid.

>>2735434
>you
>you
>you
Actually I didn't dumbass I just said that thing isn't going to work well unless you have a toploader and looks like shit. You do need one with a lockout since most people are too pussy to open their console and snap a leg off a microchip. Something I have done but can understand why your regular normie would be reluctant. Also he never linked it so we don't even know how old that screenshot is, the thing he linked is what those stupid faggots who make famicom inside of NES cart games use.

Oh and also I am just going to play your game and assume that you are all the same person too just same fagging to protect yourself.

>>2735457
>missing the point this hard
You really are stupid. It's not an act. Holy hell.

>>2735468
The point is he didn't prove shit. Anyone could provide a photoshopped screenshot. Go read your bible or something moron

>>2735468

I think he's from reddit.

>>2735471

You lost, go home.
