landsmarra Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Hey guys, It just got booted off eBay (should have known). I'll take cash/trade offers if anyone's interested. You just don't see these things that often in the wild. Well, at least I don't. For those not in the know, the converter plugs into the cart slot of a SNES deck and allows you to play 8-bit NES and Fami carts as well as having a pass-through slot for SNES/Super Fami carts. It works fine. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApolloBoy Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Does it fit in a newer model SNES? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I'm interested, but not above the $20 mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Does it fit in a newer model SNES? Yes it works fine with both models. I have one of these too. I use it quite a bit actually. The only down side to it is the picture quality. It's got the vertical lines like most Top loaders whenever you're playing NES or Famicom games. Although it is composite out so I think it's a bit better than a toploader. cheaper too! Well worth the money, if you have a failing Nes, or are just looking into starting a Famicom collection.

landsmarra Posted May 27, 2003 Author Share Posted May 27, 2003 Guys, Thanks for the interest...I didn't have a set price in mind. However, I know what I paid for it (it wasn't cheap). The high bid was $65 when it was pulled. I had seen them going for $99 on the 'net at one time. Can't seem to find them anymore. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydian Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 That much? Maybe I do need to go over to Gamestop and buy the ones there. They were $40 IIRC (same model, new in box.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 It looks like an interesting product. Why was it pulled? Is Ebay now pulling 3rd party merchandise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landsmarra Posted May 27, 2003 Author Share Posted May 27, 2003 For some reason, it looks like eBay puts these in the same category as backup units. It's non-Nintendo-sanctioned merchandise, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 $65? Hmm, $20 would be quite a loss on it, I understand that. I'd be willing to go as high as $45 though if shipping is included. You said it also allows you to play Super Famicom games right? That's really the only reason I want it, so I can play Rockman & Forte and Rockman 7.

video game addict Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 You don't need an adapter to play SuperFami stuff, just have to be willing to mod something. either route slots on the back of your carts, or cut the tabs out of the SNES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I tried the "cut the tabs" bit and it didn't work, and I didn't want to fux0r my already working SNES any further and possibly ruin my only way to play the SNES Mega Man games I +already+ have.

Pick up an SNES game genie and take the case off. That's what I do for SNES imports. And Genies are cheap. Real cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see if they have one next time I'm at Gamers, but their trend lately seems to be to grossly overprice stuff. The loose Nomad I just got was $50, for the same thing they want $85 (that's with no games, no power supply, and in some cases no battery cover).

z28in82 Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Genies are rather plentiful here in damp ol Philly, and I picked one up for BeerGnome for like 10 or so if ya need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydian Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 I'll swing by when I get a chance this week and see if they still have any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may take you up on that. I'll see how much they want for one here and if it's more than that, I'll PM you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydian Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Checked Gamestop. They only had 1 left (and at $30) so I picked it up for myself. There is a Babbages nearby as well (same stock, management, etc) so I'll check there to be sure none moved over to that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
