Famicom 8 Bit Music Power

[Yodd]

Hey guys, I just posted a video on my YouTube channel, Todd's Nerd Cave, showing off the 8 Bit Music Power cart and thought you might be interested in seeing it.

Thank you for posting this, I've been curious about the music and graphics on this cart since it was first announced.

Nice!  Mine shipped on Jan 30th and I am still waiting for it to arrive, and thanks to the Chinese New Year holiday, I will be waiting for a whole extra week....grrrrr!  Looks like a really nice piece though, and I'm glad I ordered one.

I... forgot to order one (I actually meant to order two)  -  anyone got an extra I can buy?

Sadly I had only ordered one.  In hindsight I wish I had ordered a second one.

They are back in stock at play asia, but they raised the price:

Says sold out for me - already sold out of a second batch?  What was the price?

I think it was $49.99, but I only peeked at it before so I might be off.

Still waiting for my cart to come in, but the tracking says it's in the country so I'll be getting it early next week.

Yes, it was.

BTW, some of the reviews on amazon.jp say it doesn't work on the older Twin Famicom.

For some reason mine doesn't work on my famicom but it does work on some clones I have lying around. I've read (google-translated) accounts of it not working on some hardware runs... anyone else here have this issue?

Exactly what Famicom model do you have?

[L___E___T]

I read it doesn't work on later non-FF Famicoms, nor the Titler...

That might explain why it's not running on mine. Got the screen to load up twice but it crashed almost immediately and now all there is is a white screen. The older ones are the black with red highlights?

Tried it out on my NES with a Gyromite Converter and that failed as well.

They are using pirate boards with 3.3v tolerant flash chips, without voltage shifters. Which I'm sure is causing issues on many NES/Famicom systems since the systems supply 5v to all carts.

Isn't the TD33B in your pictures a regulator down to 3.3V?
