Welcome, Ricky!

The Neo Geo consoles have always intrigued me, especially the AES.  Back in the day, I always wanted to see Metal Slug ported to a console I actually had.

Hope your Famicom issues get resolved!

hi jedi 

i had the chance to swap metal slug a few years ago with a jpn genesis and have been kicking my self ever since 

great game don't think i'll ever be able to get one though unless i get a converted one.

Hey, all. My name's Michael, and I'm from the US. I'm in school for music composition right now, and I've always loved classic gaming. I was born right at the end of the 80's, so the first console I ever owned was an SNES which is where I do the bulk of my gaming. At one point, I acquired a friend's NES and a bunch of games, but playing the blinking light was getting old (even after a pin replacement), so I sold it. I recently bought a Hyperkin RetroN 3 and it works beautifully, so I'm regretting selling all of those games and accessories. However, having a more reliable system has inspired me to start seeking out NES and Genesis stuff. I'm currently in the process of finding an FC-to-NES converter and hope to use this forum to learn more about the wonderful world of Famicom and find support when needed.

WELCOME~!~~ I sure hope you find what you are looking for! If it's Famicom related, you are in the right place!

Hello, my name is Josh and my gaming mostly tends to be speedruns and fighting-game tournaments.  To give you an idea, I have the world records for Castlevania 1 + 3 (all characters) + 4 as well as many more obscure games.

That's what ended up bringing me here - I did a Castlevania speedrun on a Japanese stream, and the guy there gave me an AV Famicom and Wai Wai World because he wants me to do a live run of that game for a stream that's about a week from now.  However, he gave me a NES AC adapter to use with the Famicom and I wasn't aware of how bad that is.  So now I have an AV Famicom that won't turn on and I have to pinpoint the cause and fix it before this stream!  Been posting in the repair thread, been able to rule out a couple things at least...have an idea of what's wrong but no idea how to fix it.  Anyone willing to part with a motherboard?

Just a very old member here. I've been browsing some of the forums I used to browse, and my, it's been a loooooong time since I've last been here! This site has certainly grown very much in popularity, nice job on the maintenance Admin! You may possibly remember me as Full_Metal_Alchemist from animelives.com forums, and I think you were a mod named Meguire on there

2006?!  Damn!   I just tried checking your posts though, and it only brings up two.  This one, and one you made in 2006.  I wonder where the other 11 are...

Hi all,

My name is David/Dave/whatever you want to call me i'll answer to most insults as well

Been collecting pretty much everything for many years. Originally from the UK, been living in Japan for close to 11 years.

Must admit i come here at the end of my collecting days - life (work and family) have absorbed pretty much all my time and i'm looking to pass on (... okay... sell!) any and every item i have to those who would be able to give them the time and love they deserve. I have around 200 or sof boxed (in various states) FC games and around 60 or so NES titles but hoping to get those figures down to 0 and 0

Been a long term lurker and hope i don't come off as a flyby seller - i guess most my selling is done on Shmups.system11.org where i -think- i've got a good reputation

Anyways, hope i can pass on some stuff and hope to stick around reading threads and inevitably kicking myself for selling up in around a years time!

All the best
