72-60 pin converter for TF?

[Leufion]

I recently bought a Yobo NES -> Famicom converter from stoneagegamer.com and got it in the mail today. It did say that it may not work on an A/V Famicom, but I figured I'd try it anyway since it was cheap. Well sure enough it didn't work on my Twin Famicom. I was wondering if there was a good 72-60 pin converter I could get that would work on my TF.

i have the same yobo adaptar and it runs fine on my twin famicom (AN-500B)

Ahh you're right it does work! I didn't realize you had to put the NES game 'backwards' with the label facing away.

Best adapter I have seen is the "Family Converter"; it's not shelled but i have used it for 2 years without it breaking down. I did have a yobo converter before it but after maybe a month or 2 it shorted out.

The best one I've ever come across is the one Robb Webb used to sell. Worked with everything, including Castlevania III and Fester's Quest. I'd like to track down more but they're not exactly a common commodity. I know someone on who has a red one and wants $20 for it, but he can't test it so I'm not sure if I want to take the gamble at the moment.

I don´t like the payment system used by robb webb :/

"Family Converter" has no issues with Castlevania 3 or Fester's Quest; so I still think it's the best to use.

He let me pay with PayPal, but it's been a while so I don't know what he does these days.

They stopped selling those I think.

I bought this one some time ago, and works great,

they have ridiculous prices, but was the only one i managed to find. I've tested it with a bunch of games (even fester's quest i see mentioned in this thread). Using it on
a a/v famicom =)

That's the converter I use as well and it's a great little converter! I used to have a Yobo converter and it was total crap since it barely worked with anything.

Hmm, Yobo adapters are cheap, I may see if I can figure out how to mod one to work with the problem games (Castlevania 3, Fester's Quest, and apparently Rad Racer 2 [which I don't own]).

Luckily I have the adapter in the link, a Yobo adapter, and a working Robb Webb adapter so hopefully it's not too many wires.  So far, I've found that 3 pins on the NES side of the Yobo adapter (6 technically), aren't connected to anything on the Famicom side of the Yobo adapter.

Huh, you're right. Fester's Quest isn't working on mine either. Seems to just crash. I doubt it's my kind of game though.

Just don't buy the Yobo junk adapters. The 'Family Converter' is out of production for a few years, and those black adapters are the only ones on the market that work with 99.9% of titles and are well worth their $30-$50 price tag. I use one regularly on Twin systems.

Nah. I have the black adapter, and that needs modding to fix a game breaking crash in Castlevania 3.
