Famicom to NES converter that faces Famicom cart label forward?

[RGB_Gamer]

I am thinking of getting a top loading NES, and I was wondering if there exists a Famicom converter that faces the Famicom carts toward you so you can see the front label like an an NES cart? Every converter I have seen seems to make the Famicom carts face the back of the cart towards you.

Thanks!

I dont think so

I don't think I've ever seen one like that either. I wonder what's so different about the pins between an NES and a Famicom.

Seems like they are reversed, hence the fact that famicom games are face down in a toaster NES, and backwards in a top loading NES, but I am not a techie, so I could be wrong.

I just would like to see famicom cartridge label art on a top loading NES.

You could get a converter, take it apart, then replace the board back to front and reassemble.  That would be a work around.

I thought about that, but the way the board goes inside the converter would probably be such that you can't just flip it around and make it fit.

In my experience it can.  If it doesn't work straight off, you can make it work with a craft knife and some hot glue, or another method to keep it in place.

I'll try with one of mine, then if it goes well (or badly) you can have a go with confidence (or not).  It's something that winds me up too so I don't mind guinea-pigging

I don't believe you can simply flip the board around. Most converters contain extra components which are connected to certain pins on the NES end and by flipping the board, you'd be connecting to those components to pins where they're not supposed to be.
