Is the FDS stick the best way to play FDS games on an actual Famicom? I couldn't find a good answer for it, does it support regular Famicom ROMs like a full fledged flash cart or only FDS?

>> No.6135949

Only FDS. There are a bunch of mappers in NES carts, the FDS Stick doesn't have any mappers it just serves data to the FDS cart interface so it's limited to what that thing can run.It DOES run FDS games much more faithfully than flashcarts do though.

Just grab one of these. It costs more but you can play damn near every NES & FDS game. The pro version should feature super accurate emulation of the FDS's extra sound channel and it supports the larger hacks that won't work on older flashcarts like Rockman 4 Minus Infinity
And what >>6135949 said, it's designed to only support FDS games and lacks the support of other NES mappers, it's just piggybacking the RAM adapter since it has the necessary components to run disk images without the need for the actual disk drive.

Yes.

>>6135949
It has a mapper. It does more than "serve data"

>just emulate
Why not just emulate

Damn. Not what I wanted to hear as the FDS Stick + a ram adapter is only ~$50 while the everdrives are double that, but I guess I'll have to shell out a little more then. Some FDS games just aren't worth the gorillion used sellers want for them, especially when emulation is so easy.

I'm pretty sure it's just an FDE but if you have some info I don't please post it.

the only way, want to know something funny
analog nes cant emulate fds properly there's not enough room for a low pass filter!

Sorry, missread your post. The mapper in the the RA. The FDS Stick is just a FDE.

No problem. I forgot what the Ram Adapter thingy was called so I probably would have been clearer if I'd Googled the correct term.
