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?


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.


I went ahead and bought one of these ($10 ain't bad at all, really!), but after seeing people's opinions on this thing, I really regret that purchase now...

They're not terrible, they're just not as tight as other converters I've used unless you're using it with a Game Genie. The more crap you stack, the more wobbly it gets. Since I have three different converters, its usually my last choice if the other two fail to work with a certain NES game (which is very very rare in my experience).

Lets just say:
I have had quite a few Family Converters, and none of them have failed.
I had a Yobo converter and one day it simply stopped working.  :'(

I have a Nes to famicom converter I found in a copy of gyromite at play N trade, It's actually very easy to tell if a game has a converter in it .The end pins are moved to the right side and are extended a bit out. But right now I'm trying to obtain a Famicom to Nes adapter so I can play my Nes Games on my Fami. :3

I bought a Family Converter from The Uninvited Gremlin sometime last summer, and it's still working just as well as it did when I took it out of the envelope.  It's a really great converter.
I like to glitch old VHS tapes and turn them into visuals for live music events. Check out what I'm working on - www.instagram.com/tylerisneat

Oh, yes. The Family Converter is my pick for best converter designed for Famicom to play NES games. Very nicely made.

I bought the Yobo 70-60 pin converter from stoneagegamer.com and i have a good opinion of it.
It has a gray plastic like the nes games and i donĀ“t have any problems with my games.

I actually haven't had a lick of trouble with the Yobo so far... so I guess I'm happy with it. ;)

between the yobo and honeybee, i am guessing more people prefer the honeybee (or spika)?

is it because of reliability or compatibility.  if the former, i'll just get several yobos (hard to find the other two)
