Last post by portnoyd - March 27, 2025, 04:53:34 pmThis is the best bet to start:
https://www.j4u.co.jp/collections/nesca?_=pf&sort=price-ascending&pf_st_stock_status=true
J4U's prices aren't as good as they were in years' past, but the shipping cost is still reasonable and if you start from the bottom up, the prices don't get much better.
While not the most desirable games in the world (otherwise multiple copies wouldn't be sitting at a buck a pop), you'll do well in bulk and there are plenty of fun games to be found at low price points. If you are only interested in Japan only games, be sure to Google game names to make sure you aren't getting something you already have/don't want.

Technical & Repair Assistance / Re: Twin Fami Burning Smell
Last post by P - March 27, 2025, 03:11:28 pmHow does the adapter look like? It might have switched the polarity so that it became center negative.
If you are lucky it just burned some plastic because the voltage regulator becoming hot.
If you are unlucky the voltage regulator and perhaps some other components was shot and needs to be replaced. If it got a fuse it might just be the fuse that needs to be replaced.
Once you figure out the problem with the adapter you can test and see if it works, if not maybe something was damaged.

Technical & Repair Assistance / Twin Fami Burning Smell
Last post by landmasta - March 27, 2025, 01:53:50 amHey all, I just recently bought a Twin Famicom. I had to buy an ac adapter and AV cables cause it didnt come with it so I made sure to get an AC adapter that met the specifications (center pin positive, DC7.5V and 1.5A out) but I accidentally got one with a pin that was too small. I bought an adapter to convert 5mm 2.1mm to 5mm 2.5 and plugged it in. Immediately when I plugged it in I got a burning smell and when I tried to turn it on I was just getting buzzing noises intermittently. I've unplugged it cause I don't want to cause further damage but does anyone know what this could be and if it can be fixed?

Looks like, but isn't

Last post by P - March 26, 2025, 04:45:18 pmIf it just connects the wires directly to the Retroad it's no different from a SNAC adapter, it's just using a USB connector (or whatever connector that is) because they are easily available. Connecting it to the wrong thing that is using the same connector could short-circuit something.
But it isn't USB-C because those are symmetric and this one isn't, so it probably didn't make a proper connection. It looks more like a USB-mini or -micro -A or -B.
