What Famicom stuff do you own?

[MaxXimus]

I also have a Famicom to NES converter. I forgot to mention that because I don't ever use it, and kind of forgot about it (I don't have an NES or any NES games.

[MaxXimus]

Here is the lot I got off ebay. I can't seem to get the Famicom to work. It has AV ports and an RF port, but all I get is a blank screen after trying both (Some times pink, some times blue, some times white, etc) I am using my official Super Famicom power cord which I was told works with famicoms as well. As you can see from the pictures, the controls have these weird joystick things attached to the D-Pads, and they are apparently made that way (They don't come off)

Perhaps some people can help me identify the games in this lot.

If you are interested in a certain cart, let me know. I may be open to selling it.

One other thing. For those who were wondering what the cart with the famicom and carts on it was, it is apparently "Pool" (There is a sticker on top that says that)

Any other questions? Just ask.

Damn no Mario bros 8 oh well but still love all the pirates you got there. I really like the circus charlie cart

[MaxXimus]

Theres a Contra in there too I think.

Mighty Bomb Jack is a pretty fun game. So is Solomon's Key (the 9th one from the top). Enjoy those.

Mighty Bomb Jack was a game from my childhood. I love it. I also remember playing Bucky O'haire(sp?) and would love to have it again!

MaxXimus: That's actually a Famicom clone. It looks authentic, but isn't. Maybe it doesn't use the same kind of ac adapter as a real Famicom. If this is the case, it's busted.

But mostly, it sounds like it has a poor cart connector.

[MaxXimus]

I knew it was a clone, but if it fried, it wouldnt even power up, which it does. Some times it shows a small garble of glitched graphics on the center of the screen but usually its just the blank screen. Can I switch the cart connecter? Or is it molded to the main board?

Wow, it fooled me into thinking it was a real Famicom (but I just looked at the thumbnails )

Before throwing it away, check if the +5V are reaching the CPU board. The regulator usually fries when somebody plugs in an adapter with reverse polarity. Swap with a RF board from another Famiclone if possible.

[MaxXimus]

Im going to be honest with you. I have NO idea what you are talking about. Ill open the system later and post pics.

[MaxXimus]

Just a thought. Do you think it could be outputting a PAL signal? Even though a 110v adapter is what it uses?

I know I'm stating the obvious here, but have you tried cleaning the contacts on the cart and the system?

[MaxXimus]

The carts work on my Yobo(less 2) and how would I go about cleaning the consoles contacts?

[FamicomFreak]

You can use alcohol to clean them using swabs or an eraser if you can reach inside.
