I'll never understand Americans who think the the NES looks better.

Even the cartridges alone are way more aesthetically interesting than the grey NES ones. The Famicom's just so iconic in its design and colouring.

t. PALfag who only had a Master System anyway.

>>4430640
Choosing just ONE favorite game is hard.
I'd have to go for Zelda 2, GUN-DEC or Kabuki Quantum Fighter.

>>4430784
Famicom sharp looks cool.

>>4430790
What is gun dec

It's the jap title for Vice:Project Doom

I got the one in the lower left.
Great system.

>>4430784
for the longest time I agreed with you, but the more I look at the famicom the more I just see an ugly garish clownface. maybe this board is turning me into another cunty contrarian
I still agree with you about the aesthetics of the cartridges though

Can I say earthbound? It was basically an NES game they had to sell on the SNES.

>>4430970
What? Do you mean MOTHER / EarthBound Beginnings / Earth Bound Zero? If you're talking about MOTHER 2 / EarthBound then no.

>>4430790
NES is the only system where I do have an undenably favorite game - Dragon Warrior IV.

>>4430978
Mother and Earthbound are different NES games.

>>4431003
"Earth Bound" (Zero, Beginnings. etc), is the previously unreleased US localization of MOTHER. They have differences, but they are absolutely the same game. What the fuck?

Just received the cart on the left today.
They're pretty both pretty cool cheat devices. Left is from 2005 and runs through a CPLD and right is from 2003 and runs through an fpga.
Thanks to the time they were released in, they have flash memory which allows saving cheats.
Left one also has a SRAM backup feature, a downclock feature and is the only device for the NES/Famicom to use RAM-modifying cheats (in addition to ROM modifying cheats)
Pretty crazy to think that the famicom was still popular enough in 2005 in Japan for a company to actually still produce something for the console.

>>4431012
Earthbound Zero isn't Earthbound. They're different NES games.

>>4431057
Wow, I've never seen those. Cool shit, anon. I believe the Famicom was actually on store shelves in Japan until ~2003, so that makes some sense. Pretty crazy still.

>>4431079

>>4431070
Yeah, the livespan of the console itself in japan is just as crazy.
Here's an interesting page about the cart on the right: http://www.chrismcovell.com/fcrocky.html
The thing pretty much does the same thing as the game genie but it encodes them differently.
Funnily enough, the xterminator classing copies the format made by the creators of the Pro Action Rocky (Discreetly calling it 'P'-codes in the manual)
and for RAM cheats it uses the format made by the creator of VirtuaNES a japanese NES/Famicom emulator.
It's when you first get your hands on these and then try to get through the japanese menus.

>>4431081
I loved double dragon and duck hunt.

>>4431032
Holy shit are you saying Mario 2 was actually 夢工場ドキドキパニック in Japan?

>>4431085
Not retro but cool.

>>4431087
I'm just posting images.

>>4431084
Radical. Also, Chris Covell is the fucking man.

>>4430640
Wow, how was the NES so much huger than the Famicom? Did they intentionally make it so large to literally push other devices out of the way? (not a bad idea now that I think about it).

>>4430970
It’s not basically an NES game, it wasn’t developed for the NES at any stage.

>>4431105
The NES was supposed to be VCR-like so as to not scare off consumers who got burned by Atari. It wasn't a 'Game Console' it was an 'Entertainment System'.

>>4431105
Carts also big like tapes. Nes carts more expensive to make back then.

I had a nes Famicom converter.

>>4430760
"Chad" seems to really suffer from a tiny dick doe.

>>4431085
loving those stickers

>>4430959
>but the more I look at the famicom the more I just see an ugly garish clownface
holy shit you're right

Hm. This thread made me want to buy a Famicom.

Vs arcade nes versions coming to switch.

>>4432153
I'm so psyched for this. The VS series is awesome
>>4432149
A stock, yellow, Fami is like $30 tops; well worth the investment.

>>4430795

You could say the Twin looks really...SHARP?

>>4432165
I really want this

>>4432186
There's gonna be more later.

>>4431128
They even called the carts "tapes".
It's ridiculous if you think about it.
What if there was a video entertainment crash as well?
Would they have called the cartridges "books"?
And made the NES to look like a bookshelf?

A PC-10 or VS Cabinet is my absolute holy grail. I actually love the really small, short cabinets, but I don't see them very often. Pic related is at a local arcade, couldn't resist taking an artsy phone picture.

>>4432960
I feel you.
Best I could afford was getting a PPU from one of them.
Gore or not, the chip is completely untouched and the picture is beautiful.
Here's a capture of it if anyone wants to see how the RGB output looks from one of these chips
https://youtu.be/XfswulxBxh8 (Yes this was initially made to show how shitty the everdrive's fds sound is)

>>4433180
While on one level I'm fundamentally opposed to this, I am also super jealous. I've thought about it many times but never taken the plunge.

>>4433191
Well, I got the chip for a moderately good price so I kinda had to get it.
As I said, the RGB PPU and the AV Fami's original PPU are completely mint (nothing soldered directly to them whatsoever) so you could in theory put everything back to how it was. I also put the heatsink back onto the chip (plus some copper tape to get rid of jailbars).
There's also copper tape around the RGB output wires. That's why there's tape around it.

>>4430640
Contra

>>4433227
Rad, it looks like such a cleaner mod than the NESRGB bullshit everyone does. Not to mention the colors are correct. If I could find a PPU I'd probably have someone mod my AV Fami, but I don't want to pay out the nose for one.

Kirby's adventure was the shit

>>4433232
It really depends on who does the mod.
Obviously the NESRGB will need some additional wiring and the PCB is bigger but it can look quite nice as well.
If you want to see a clean mod I'd have to say the HiDef kit is probably the nicest looking one around. Pretty much just two flat flex cables and two wires (for power and ground).
Anyways, here's the finished product. Since the shell of that AV Fami was really mint condition I didn't really want to do anything to it so I simply went with an LED at the front vent holes.

>>4433465
Neat, I usually hate LED mods, but I find this one pretty nice; I think it would be perfect if it wasn't bleeding through the upper case. Nice Gimmick! too. I need to take pics of all my Famicom gear for future /vr/ threads.

Here's your famicom.

>>4433495
Odd thing is you actually really see it in reality even when it's dark.
I dunno why it's so visible on the photo but even then, some black tape could fix it.

>>4433509
I meant really don't see it.

>>4433509
>>4433513
That is odd, I was thinking black tape myself but it's a super slick AV overall my friend.

>We will never go back to this time

Asked someone if they could get famicom expansion audio out of my NES & Got this response. How should I proceed?

>So the expansion audio is not as straight forward as I would like. The easiest way is to just plug in an Enio adapter into the NES expansion port and you're done. An alternative to the Enio adapter is to solder a resistor between pins 3 and 9 on the NES expansion port. Unfortunately neither of these will not work if you're pulling audio from the NESRGB board. With the NESRGB board you have the option of tapping the NES's audio and having it go through the NESRGB's audio mixer which most people say sounds better. I think you can still get expansion audio from your NES by not having the audio go through the NESRGB's mixer and instead just using the NES's audio jack (along with the expansion connector resistor mod of course). The mods also seem to vary depending on what type of cart you'll be using; an Everdrive or famicom to NES adapter. If you're using a famicom to NES adapter then the adapter needs to be modded with resistors as well. The other problem with this is supposedly this expansion audio mod will work for games that have expansion audio but for games that do not have expansion audio there will be a constant buzzing noise.

>>4434180
If your NES is stock, buy the Enio or mod it, otherwise, buy a Famicom.

Kid Icarus.

Punch-Out if we're counting games you haven't finished.

>>4430760
Dont try and tell us famicom is chad now....

Mario 3
Original response, I know

>>4430640
Castlevania 3 or Mario 3

>>4430640
Gradius, Lifeforce, Megaman 2-4, maybe Metroid?
