Posting this from my Famiclone!

Yeah, shipping would probably be killer.

133Mhz is in Chile.  Where are you?

[Tupin]

America, so how much did shipping cost for you?

[Blue Protoman]

I got two (one for my cousin).  For one unit, shipping was $29.  I'm on the East Coast, though.  If you're on the West Coast, you might have to cough up a few more bucks.

Here's a video of my keyboard Famiclone printing some text on an ancient dot-matrix printer

great video dude!

Huge bump and kind of un-Famicom related, but what kind of dot-matrix printer are you using in that video? I know it's a Citizen, but which model?

You know... I just noticed the capital letters in the typing are from that old Famicom game "Hoshi Wo Miru Hito".

Wow, thanks! I love tiny bits of obscure information like that!

Citizen GSX-190. It's the only non-USB printer that I have and still works. Technically it should work with any printer that uses the old style parallel connection.

I love the sound dot-matrix printers make.

That makes us two .

I do have some famiclones here hehe



omg. super famicom looks. 

[treismac]

A few questions:

1) This is an official Nintendo program that is being ran through the Famiclone, right?  What is it called?

2) The above photo is obviously just a screenshot, but is there any way to browse the internet on a famiclone or an actual Famicom?

3) Is there a PC program that emulates this Famicom word processor?

4) Does a mod or adapter exist that allows a Famicom keyboard to hook up to a PC?

Thanks!
