It doesn't look like there are any metal edge connectors in the middle of the connector. You might have to end up glueing a piece of metal there. The one you'd solder to on the famicom side are pretty obvious. See the 2 pins that have no traces that go anywhere? (its on the side with all the parts o...

Front loaders are fine, just buy a new 72 pin connector off ebay for $5, or take it out and use De-Ox on it, and clean it.

Or, just do what I did and get an EPROM programmer, all the different types (including Famicom carts) of mapper carts that I wanted to play, and hack up the carts to accept eproms. It really doesn't cost much, but it takes some time to modify the carts, and round up the rare ones (that no one wants ...

Actually, the FDS cable only uses 9 wires, and a common, I believe. (I'll have to check that again). And if you made a simple adapter that could connect an EXP pin from the cart edge connector to the Audio in, on the bottom of the NES, you could have FDS sound FX and music. My NES has been hacked (i...

Well, the EXP port on the bottom of the NES does not provide any address lines, so you could not just have the FDS plug into that. I would imagine, if the FDS came out in the USA, it would have a cart that plugged into the NES, similar to the Famicom. I would imagine they would use the EXP below, an...

So, you want to modify the VS rom to run on a normal NES?
I think the VS mapper is 99, and I'm not familiar with it, or what is the closest mapper.

I'm not sure how different a VS zapper is from a regular one.

If I were you,
I'd save some money and just modify the Famicom you have.

I've cleaned NES front loaders but you have to take them apart are remove the 72 pin 180 degree black connector. Buy a can of de-ox spray and shoot the edge of the black connector both top and bottom sides (where the cart goes in). I've cleaned connectors that were totally corroded, nothing else cou...

system or to the Famicom-to-NES converter Both. For the Famicom->NES adapter... Just solder pin 18 on the NES side of the connector to pin 46 of the Famicom side of the connector. For the NES, Solder pin 18 of the NES cart connector to a series resistor 100K then a 1uF or higher non-polarized cap t...

Actually, this will do:

Or buy a kit from here:

De-solder the ROM chips and read them with an EPROM/ROM programmer/reader.

Sure, post a link or something.

If it is an official one, maybe they changed the output level, or output impedance. That would affect the gain. In the original Famicom, they pass an analog signal through a 40H368, which is a tri-state buffer. They are using it to buffer the signal, and it should have low output impedance. Accordin...
