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?
(http://scorp.circuit-board.de/bilder/famicom.jpg)
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
huh? i would have thought the most of the users here own a famicom ;)
so if there is one who has a famicom please make some fotos for me :D
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 :)
An NES counts if you've got a 72 to 60 pins converter, since that's really all you need to play Famicom games! :)
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?
Or a transcoder.
for example a foto like this would be nice ;D

in good quality of course ::)
I'll ask my friend alex to bring his camera over next time he comes. Is 5MP good enough quality?
thats more than i need ;) thank you!
Just out of curiosity. What is this for?
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!
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...

Wow. That looks amazing. What type of paint did you use?
erm... thats spray paint
one cremewhite and a dark red :)
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.
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!
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
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. ;)
do they not ship outside of Japan? Basically, i need someone who can read Japanese to order for me. :)
@kite
could you scan them for me?
ok, now i have the fotos :) a guy from a NES board (www.nescenter.de) has made some for me ;D
here are some fotos of my (super) famicom
Looks very nice! ;D
How do you print stickers? Glossy sticker paper + inkjet printer ?

get an old copy of gyromite!
I have used a printable self adhesive inkjet foil from DataBecker
Very cool job. Makes me want one for me :o
My fav part is the "super Nintendo" strip. It REALLY adds to it.
Some pictures of one of my Famicom's
Pictures 2
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. :)
On ebay

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.
