figgler Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Can anyone tell me what system this 150 in 1 cart is for? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vb_master Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Famicom of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Yeah, it's definitely a Famicom cartridge. You can play it on a North American NES if you can find an adapter. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkeykong1 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 I found one similar to that one but had less games and is grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 I want a famicom so bad. Is it regional? Sort of. There's no electrical region protection, but the cart slot is physically diffrent from US decks. And the original FamiComs were RF output only. Japanese TVs work on diffrent channel frequencies than US ones. You can't get picture and sound at the same time, and you aren't likely to get much of anything. But if you can interface the game with your US deck, it's all good. Or fi you have a japanese deck with AV out. That works with any NTSC TV.

maibock Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Ahhhh. So that's what I saw. There was Q-bert of roughly the same cartridge size and I could not figure out what system it was for. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 If you want an adaptor really cheap, there are actually some inside very early NES carts. When Nintendo released the NES, I guess they had some extra Famicom cartridges sitting around, so they just stuck the circuit board into a NES cartridge with an adaptor built-in. Check some of your early games like Excitebike, Gyromite, Urban Champion and other... if they seem heavier than normal, open up the cartridge (The earlier ones used normal screws) and you might get lucky. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExciteBike is a telling one, since the japanese version was for the FDS, and thus was not a cartridge. So they dropped US ROMs onto japanese boards, slapped an adapter on, and dropped the whole thing into a US cartridge case. And as far as I know, all the games with adapters are the original 5-screw carts. Later games have 3 screws and a pair of plastic tabs at the front to hold the cart shut. Early ones don't have the tabs and use 2 more screws to compensate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I stand corrected! Unfortunately, not all of the 5-screw cartridges have adaptors... I have a bunch of 5-screw carts, and have yet to find any adaptors in any of them. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saikyo Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 yo any way that 150 in 1 game cart is a pirate or bootleg there probably insnt even that many games on it 15-75 if your lucky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Eidolon Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I can second that you can play Famicom games on a US Nintendo deck with an adapter. The adapter I used to have looked suspiciously like a NES cart that had been cut in half! Then the famicom cart plugs into the top of the adapter and the whole thing fits like a regular-sized cartridge. They can be a bit fussy about getting a good connection, but the games play just fine. There are a lot of good Japan-only games for the NES/Famicom. --The Eidolon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
