NES to Famicom Converters (72 to 60 pins)

[Marlon]

Is a nes to famicom converter rare?

[NintendoKing]

Nope, they are very common. I have sold 3 of them on here, to various people.

I have one, but it doesn't quite work well with the AV Famicom, so I can let it go.

Personally, I'm having a very hard time finding one of these... Google yields results, but the cheap ones are always sold out and the available ones always cost upwards of $50. :/

Gyromite NES game has a converter inside, I'm gonna buy one.

Even tho I don't need, it can be helpful.

Whoa, thats crazy.
For awhile I had quite a few of them, I sold all except 1 which I use.

To clarify, I'm talking about a 72-to-60 pin converter... one with which I can play NES games on my Famicom.
The terms tend to get mixed up a lot due to their vagueness.

I am aware, the "To" in NES to Famicom, means "To work on Famicom"; just as Famicom to NES means the opposite. NES to Famicom is the kind I sold, I have only ever owned 1 Famicom to NES adapter.

And the strange thing there is that I seem to find the FC to NES adapters everywhere! Something I have no use for because I don't own an NES... :/
Murphy's Law in action, I guess?

I have had 5 NES to Famicom adapters, sold 3 to members on here, 1 on atariage, and the other to a friend in my town. And the last, I keep.

But yea, my Famicom to NES adapter is a Honey Bee one and it looks cool in my NES-101 Toploader.


But yea, your right Rogue.

Good luck finding one in a Gyromite--very few have them.  If you want a sure thing, then look for a Stack-Up .  

Otherwise, the NES to Famicom converter I have is called Goodboy I believe (I've got the box for it somewhere...perhaps I'll take a picture tomorrow).  Playing NES games on my Sharp Twin actually seems to run the NES games smoother than on an NES...

Assuming this is what you're asking for:

I've never bought from here but ten bucks shipped sounds pretty good to me. By the looks of it, it's a Yobo converter, the second NES to Famicom converter I've ever found. It's alright, but not as solid as the other two I have. Good price too.

[SnifitDude]

I've got one I was gonna sell to a friend for $10, but I might put it up here to keep your eye out.

I have very cheap nes to famicom converters that I'll sell for $12 for 3 shipped to a US address. Looks just like these:

They're basically the same as the ones you see with a plastic shell just without the plastic shell. They still seem stable even without the shell.

And because I always get asked, I'd be happy to sell them separately. Just $13 each shipped.
