NES 2/AV Famicom hypothetical question.,..

[petik1]

Hey guys, I was thinking last night, would it be posible to take the pin connector out of an AV famicom, and replace it with and NES? And with the help of a converter from the older NES games, make it able to play every NTSC game on one system? Even pirates! I don't know, tell me if it's not possible.

Yes, but that's kind of impractical, seeing as how those kinds of converters have an ultra tight grip on the female side (they're really only meant to be inserted once, lot of people don't get that).

Ok, so what I could do is replace the FC conector w/ a NES connector, take the NES cover, mod it a little to fit the little thing on the side for like the ROB or BASIC keyboard? Then I need an old NES game. Now, how can I get it to play PAL games?

Perfect solution:
Get a Famicom (which you already have), or if you want, an AV Famicom, so you can already play Famicom games, and then get a 72-60 pin converter so you can play NTSC, PAL-A, PAL-B, and any other weird NES games you might find.  Famicoms (as well as NES Toploaders) don't have any lockout chips, so a Famicom is basically already universal.

Well, yeah, but one I wanted to do this for the novelty of it and two I wanted to do it with all nintendo parts...

There's really no good reason to do this, an AV Famicom with a Nes to Famicom cartridge converter is the most practical solution.

If you really wanted to do it for the novelty, you'd have to modify (destroy) 2 good Nintendo systems.

There was a post similar to this over at Assembler...

As a hippie would say," You're harshin' my mellow, man..." Yeah, like I said, it's a hypothetical question, only asked to know if it can be done.

I use my Honeybee converter on my NES 101 Toploader.

It would be possible to switch out connectors,
but you would have to also switch out the top cover; so the slot would fit right.

People have done it before, to make a streamline A/V NES.


scir91 of youtube, had someone do the surgery on his NES Toploader and A/V Famicom; originally he claimed it was some special official system but he has since admitted to it being a forgery.

When did he admit to it being a forgery? I tried to Google it but could not find it...

I asked him on youtube, he said he had a friend of his that would good with electronics make it for him.

I asked him on Youtube also he told me that an older guy named Hitler made it for him when he was on a trip to Argentina, I'm gonna go put it on the Wiki now.

Did anything ever become of this?
