I seem to recall a specific cartridge adapter being sold a while back, and I can't find any trace of it online.
What I recall:
- It was wide and sat upon the FC more like a base than just an adapter...
- ...so it looked particularly sturdy
- Was available in multiple colors (red, black, white)
- Was being sold out of Europe (maybe Holland?)
- Sometime between maybe 2018-2021?
- Might have been around 40-ish USD
- Seemed to be very well regarded
- I thought the seller was selling them through here, or through an online storefront linked to here (but I can't find anything in searches)
Is my memory playing tricks on me? Did I fabricate this product in a dream? :-[
Are you talking about these adapters that let you plug in Famicom and NES games at once?

Yes, thank you!
Now I'm wondering, what does it read when both slots are used at the same time? ??? Is there a toggle switch?
Doesn't look like it. You should probably not turn on the power with both slots occupied at the same time or they might have to compete, which I assume isn't very good for the hardware.
But wow I have totally missed these. Did anyone buy them? Were they as good as they seem?
I wanted to get one but the postage to the US was almost just as much as an adapter. Someone was going to organize a group buy to save on postage, but sadly it never happened.
I see, I've sent Prince Tomato a PM asking some questions regarding the design of the Twin-Pin converter. They seem rather promising, hopefully outperforming other 72->60-pin adapters.
