Famicom Disk System 3206 write mod
If you wanted to rewrite some of your Famicom disks but your Famicom Disk System drive doesn’t want to cooperate because it contains the dreaded FD3206P Drive Controller chip, this comprehensive how-to is for you. With two inexpensive integrated circuits and a total of eight wires you’ll be able to build a modification board which will allow your 3206-based FDS drive to rewrite entire disks with a FDSLoadr setup just like a non-protected FD7201 drive.

Famicom World relaunches
Famicom World is proud to introduce its new layout.
We’ve got a full staff, we’re using a content management system and we’re on a new server, so you should see regular updates to the site and the forum should have little to no downtime, which has been a problem in the past.
FW is just more than three years old, and we’re busier than ever trying to bring the best of the Famicom to the web. Keep an eye on this page for regular updates about the site and 8-bit gaming. We anticipate an exciting rest of 2009.
In the meantime, help us work out the bugs by finding them.

Here’s a bit about what’s to come!
We haven’t had much time to work on new content for the site, but there will be a heck of a lot to come over the next few months. You can expect to see a bunch of reviews of pirated original games, such as Kart Fighter, Somari: The Adventurer, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Harry’s Legend.
You can also expect to see a new searchable game list, where in time, we’ll add pages about each game. UglyJoe from the forum has been helping us integrate some cool stuff into the site. Keep an eye out.
Keep chatting on the forum!

Happy Holidays, Famicom Gamers!
Yes, it’s that time of year! Time to bring out Santa-kun.
A big thanks to all of you for a great year of Famicom gaming and Famicom talk. Things have been a bit slower for those of us maintaining the website. We don’t seem to have as much time to update the site, but, if you keep your mice clicking, you’ll see some new stuff on the site — we just don’t always mention it here.
This time around, we’ve got a new article from our friend Martin in Estonia. Martin tells us about Famicom gaming and collecting in the former Soviet Union. There also are a bunch of new Famicom pirates on the Pirated page.
More to come in 2008! And…welcome to the new forum members!

Mortal Kombat II!
Switchstance has been kind enough to grace us with another one of his great game reviews. This time he tells us about Mortal Kombat II, in what really is an entertaining review. Otherwise, all you’ll find updated are the games lists and this addition to the Workshop page: a Famicom test cart.

Mega update!
It’s been over a month since the last update, so this time we’ve got quite a bit for you to check out. On the Accessories page, we’ve added Nintendo’s Video Shooting Series Light Gun and Square’s 3D Sunglasses. On the Protos page, you can see the Super Lode Runner proto. Two new ads have been added to the Advertisements page. Scans of the FamicomStation’s controller and a FamicomStation cart have been added to the FamicomBox page. And that’s not all…
FamicomJL has done three new reviews of some Famicom-exclusive games. Read his reviews: Navy Blue, The Goonies, and Pizza Pop! If you’re into Battleship, you might find Navy Blue modestly entertaining. The Holy Grails Shrine intro page has been updated to show how one would go about participating in one of the Nintendo tournaments, and you can also see at how high a price one Holy Grail auction ended. And something many of you forum members may have already seen, the Video Station was added to the Workshop page.
Check out forum member Switchstance’s website, now linked from our Links page. His link button is Nesfami in Argentina! It’s a very cool site. Oh, and the Recommended Sellers page now has AndyArcade on it! Keep him selling by buying his stuff.
