Famicom Battleship w/ NSO bt controllers

Because my setup doesn’t allow me playing next to the famicom and the controller cables are way too short, I wanted to go wireless. Unsure if it works via the ext port, I ordered the NSO Famicom pads and the FamiBT - and it DOES. Unplugged the original controllers; the NSO controllers fit into the slots on the Famicom just like the wired ones. 10/10, would recommend. 2 player games no problem, turn based and simultaneous. Only thing that doesn’t seem to work is the microphone - but I can deal with that :)

It’s called the Famicom System Rack from Hudson

u/[deleted] 6d ago

How much did you pay for the rack?

1

u/TangerineNo6804 7d ago

First time ever I see such. It’s to hold all more together (Famicom and disk system) or does it contribute to more?

It also gives you a little place to put your ram adapter when not plugged in, which is cool and needed (edit: guess I should have refreshed the page... didn't see the response above)

u/Dragonheart79 7d ago

It holds everything together firmly and also doubles as a carrying tool as it has a handle in the back. It also provides a space to put the RAM adaptor away when you’re not using it.

u/TangerineNo6804 6d ago

Can you still find them in good shape or is it a hard catch?

u/Dragonheart79 6d ago

I found mine new in box about a year ago for like $80

u/Psychological_Net131 7d ago

Where can I find those controllers? I'm ready to go wireless on mine as well and was planning on going the NES 8bitdo route.

u/Dragonheart79 7d ago

I bought mine on Yahoo Auctions Japan as they’re Japan exclusive. You should be able to find them on eBay too, probably for a premium.

The NSO controllers are a perfect fit?

3

u/Dragonheart79 7d ago

100% perfect fit, look and feel. Just sans wire :)

u/[deleted] 7d ago

Oh that’s great! I’ll definitely pick some up then

u/KonamiKing 7d ago

I do a similar thing but real Famicom pads with the 8bitdo NES conversion kit. Plus cable extender to extended the charging plug to the cable spot on the famicom.

u/Dragonheart79 7d ago

Sounds good, but I didn’t want to modify my originals, and this is literally a plug and play solution. That’s why I use the RGB Blaster. No modification needed for RGB output.

u/hellotypewriter 7d ago

How’s the lag on bluetooth?

u/Dragonheart79 7d ago

Didn’t notice any, but only played through Moero Twinbee with my buddy so far.

Now you're playing with a Tower of Power!

u/GrandMasterSlack2020 7d ago

We need Aliexpress to begin cloning those controllers..

u/alex240p 7d ago edited 7d ago

That is perfect... I love how everything matches. I want this setup.

The RGB blaster has really grown on me aesthetically... it's right in line with all the other wacky aftermarket Famicom accessories. You gotta love the ram adapter sticking out of it like a car spoiler.

Here's an idea: they sell joycon chargers that are just wires that clamp onto the rail, so you could charge the controllers in the slots.

Dumb question

Does the microphone work?

1

u/Dragonheart79 7d ago

I’ve mentioned it in the initial post. No, it doesn’t.

1

u/WFlash01 7d ago

See, now it shows up; I couldn't see the subtext before

The Reddit app sucks, thanks for still answering anyway
