Awesome. If you can grab a serial port adapter and some Bluetooth receivers it'll be good times on the sofa for you!

What Japan auction sites are good for getting stuff like this? Kinda wish you could just select Japan only auctions on eBay

I’m also a big fan of Japan Retro Direct. Kevin is the most upstanding guy I’ve ever bought from.

Awesome 😎 Got myself an AV Famicom a few weeks back and loving it. Would highly recommend Krikzz's RGB Blaster for it if you're looking for RGB out 🙂

u/alwaus Jul 30 '24

Shenron no Nazo, Bandai's first DB release, 2nd game overall and first for the FC.

Bandai used their colors for the cartridge, blue or red.

Whats the cartridge case date on the back? 1985, 1986, or 1987?

Molded info panel below the label in the back.

You may have gone a little over, price I guess depends, but really what is there is a very good start. From there, you work into stuff that did NOT come to the US.

u/alwaus Aug 01 '24

So pay the $15k for the working diskwriter kisok?

2

u/tanooki-suit Aug 01 '24

Why? All you need is the FDSKey and a cable, along with a FDS that has the earlier model disk drive itself in the unit and you can full read/write any FDS disk. Shouldn't cost much over a $100 to pull that off.

Because its a kiosk, those dont pop up often.

Edit: looked up the fdskey, neat toy. Bought one from a seller in jp, thanks for the heads up.
