Title: Stickers / Decals on Famicom
Post by: Scorp.ius on November 25, 2007, 06:19:36 am
Hi!

i need fotos (good resolution and quality) of the stickers on a Famicom

thanks :)

and btw.: does anyone know what the japanese words say? some kind of manual? "move this power switch up and the family computer will turn on" or what does they say?

The one over the reset button says something like "Press button to reset memory"

I think the first says 'Be sure power is off before inserting/removing cassette.'

From an official translation on the Hong Kong Version Famicom:

The top left sticker says: "Turn OFF the power before inserting or removing a game cassette. POWER"

The top right sticker says: "If the reset switch is pressed, scores recorded will be erased or lost. RESET"

I can't make out the front sticker from the HKV Famicom photo I've got. Maybe someone here actually owns one. :P

Yeah, most users here actually own a Famicom, but not everyone knows Japanese, or own a scanner/digital camera :P.

Oh :D ...lots of us have Famicoms; I have a couple. But we have the Japanese version. I don't think any of us have the Hong Kong version with the official English translations of the stickers.

I found after coming to the forums that a collection just isnt a collection without a Famicom. I have 4. (1 authentic, 2 clones, and 1 Yobo Fami.) My authentic one is my baby. The clones are just for the collection and the Yobo is for backup.

does a NES count? i have an NES PAL B (but with deactivatet lockout chip)
and ... perhaps 50 games :)

Title: Re: Stickers / Decals on Famicom
Post by: JC on November 25, 2007, 02:13:32 pm
An NES counts if you've got a 72 to 60 pins converter, since that's really all you need to play Famicom games! :)
Title: Re: Stickers / Decals on Famicom
Post by: Scorp.ius on November 25, 2007, 02:24:00 pm
no i dont have a converter, but i look on ebay for a famicom and disk system :)

i hope the famicom will work with my PAL TV (i am from germany) - are there others here who use a famicom in PAL territories? what video adapters are required?

and - fotos are still most welcome  ;D

Arent HK famicoms PAL? You'd need one of those or a stepdown converter and a tv that supports ntsc?
Title: Re: Stickers / Decals on Famicom
Post by: 133MHz on November 25, 2007, 02:53:43 pm
Or a transcoder.

I'll ask my friend alex to bring his camera over next time he comes. Is 5MP good enough quality?

Just out of curiosity. What is this for?
Title: Re: Stickers / Decals on Famicom
Post by: Scorp.ius on November 26, 2007, 01:01:01 pm
I am working on a SNES in Famicom look

so i need all the stickers for matching the original

My guess was that you were going to be restoring a system. That is very cool though. Make sure to take pictures of your progress. It would be really neat to see!
Title: Re: Stickers / Decals on Famicom
Post by: Scorp.ius on November 26, 2007, 01:14:29 pm
yeah ;) here you are:

the console has deactivated lockout chip and a switch for 50/60Hz select
the LED flashes yellow when in 50Hz and red when in 60Hz mode :)

it looks a little bit naked now, so thats what the sticker are ment for...

So you gutted a Super Famicom for its shell casing and put a Famicom board inside it and then painted the board? SICKKKKKKKKKKKKK

He says it's just a SFC painted like a FC.

BTW Scorp.ius, amazing paint job! My paint jobs usually suck, but yours looks pretty good! ;D
And remember, some games actually check if the lockout chip is working and if it isn't they will refuse to run, so it would be wise to put a switch for it.

Post by: Scorp.ius on November 26, 2007, 10:06:08 pm
yes its a normal snes

till now i did not have any problems with a permanent deactivated lockout. i ve read that on a US maschine MarioRPG is such a game that needs the lockout activated, but this game is not running on a PAL maschine. so no need for drilling a second hole into the case ;) 

ps: i have one snes with a lockout switch... ;)

if you dont want to print them, you can buy official stickers from tea4two coding factory in japan. I think I might have some....let me see....I have one for the front of the system, like 3 for the power and 2 for the reset or something like that

hey kite200, can u help me place an order at tea4two website? i cant read japanese and i will pay you a little extra if u help me order stuff through them. Message me!
Title: Re: Stickers / Decals on Famicom
Post by: Scorp.ius on December 01, 2007, 02:27:05 am
i dont think the real ones will fit on the SNES... i will have to adjust the sizes of the stickers and perhaps a little bit the color.

so good quality fotos would be very good ;)

Anyone?  :D
Title: Re: Stickers / Decals on Famicom
Post by: kite200 on December 01, 2007, 12:55:48 pm
technically I can't place an order either since I don't live in japan but you could email them asking if you could order.

Sakbee, if you can wait until next year (June/July, when I move to Japan) I can order stuff for you.  ;)
Title: Re: Stickers / Decals on Famicom
Post by: Sakbee on December 01, 2007, 04:53:50 pm

Now that is a pretty sweet collection! Right now all of my consoles are in use, but I hope to make a display for them some time in the future.

Also, those power up Mario Energy drinks are soooo good! There is a specialty store in Winnipeg that sells them. :)

I wish there could be full-sized decals available, I'm especially in dire need of the Famicom logo decal since it's in the worst shape.
