I suggest calling MCM Electronics on this one. They probably have them.

I may have some laying around too, and if I find any, I'll let you know.

What is mentionable is that it has a 1993 date stamp, which means it is a very late revision of the Famicom network board, and I'm not sure if NCL ever used this design in production units, so it may be something out of the ordinary for those reasons. I suspect that NCL developed this as a LC revisi...

Strange Famicom Prototype/Developer Board

EDIT: It just occurred to me that FCN probably means "Family Computer Network" and that this is a mainboard for the Famicom modem. Can anybody confirm this? A member on NintendoAge posted a thread about a strange Nintendo prototype board that he purchased and I’ve been attempting to assis...

Are you trying to write to it using ASM or with Family BASIC?

I meant save, then continue later... FYI, if you hit Death with the holy water, it both stuns and does heavy damage to him and you'll beat him in a hurry. For example, I would love to see an FDS version of Castlevania: Chorus of Mysteries (on top of the Akumajo Dracula FDS diskette) so that you can ...

Then Bregalad (Quickbeam/Hasty) is an accurate name for you, as frankly the notion of a month-old thread seeming too old to reopen is (to me) absurd. I participate in forums where threads over a year old are reopened all the time. In fact, to me a year of time isn't all that long, but I'm guessing t...

SMB2j is such a dated looking game though. I for one am glad for SMB2us. SMB2j would have done pretty poorly in sales IMO at the time. It's not even a real sequel. It's just rearranged levels. At least with SMB2us you got really interesting level designs and newer/more advance gameplay. To me, it's...

Well Xious, no offense but I find you habbit to dig up VERY old threads VERY frequently to be a little annoying. It's okay to bring up an old thread if you really have something to say, but dig half a dozen of them every day sounds a bit like an annoyance to me. I don't know if other users of the b...

Google search shows that the Famicom microphone is a level detector that connects to bit D2 of controller 1. This bit exists only on the expansion port of a front-loader, not the controller ports on the front panel. See also previous Famicom mic discussion . So either I'll have to run a separate li...

For what it's worth, I just spent $40 for a non-battery-backed version of 'Frogger Ultimate Championship’, so I am certainly willing to pay $35 for a new NES title. Heck, they cost that much (if not more) fifteen to twenty years ago, so that's not a hefty price in today's money. Do you know if the g...

Re: Is this a real Famicom? And is it NTSC or PAL?

The auction has expired, so I can’t see the photos. Can you please post them here? Nintendo also made a version of the Famicom for the Hong Kong market that was PAL. I believe the nameplate is coloured differently (red text on brass rather than gold text on metallic red) on the PAL HK release. The N...

Re: Famicom controller II MIC

NESにはないが日本のFamiconのコントローラー2にはマイクが搭載しており、ある一定以上の音声が入力されているかどうかをソフト側で判別できた。 NESエミュレータでは、コントローラー2のマイクを対応しているものが少ない。 As for the games that uses the 'Famicom Controller 2 Microphone', here's what I know: -Takeshi no Chosenjyo -Legend of Zelda (FDS) -Family Basic -PlayBox Basic -Draemon -Raid on Bungelin...

3-D Battles of World Runner, The (U) I just put that on Pocketnes last night and realized it has a 3D red/blue depth mode. That's a different method of making a 3-D game than the 3-D system uses. The 3-D goggles for the Famicom use a flickering doubled image, but it isn’t Red/Blue. It’s closer to t...

Famicombox lockout chips are different. See KH's analysis . Thanks Tepples, I'll look over those documents. Off hand, do you know a way to modify an NES to run these carts? Does disabling the lockout chip on the NES mainboard allow for using Famicombox games, or do they need a handshake signal from...
