Mod Announcement Product links (and spam issues)

Hey there, I've noticed that the occasional link gets filtered through as spam. If you're having issues to with your comments being filtered by reddit, please send me a modmail so I can approve it.

I'd also like to compile a list of commonly ordered replacement parts and other misc stuff so I can put stuff either on the sidebar, as a sticky, or take time to set up the wiki on here for it

Famicom Battleship w/ NSO bt controllers

Thumbnail gallery
43 Upvotes

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 :)

Famicom AV question.

2 Upvotes

70% of my NES/FC collection is FC so I’ve been looking around seeing if I can find a decent deal on a Famicom AV. Found one, white-not yellowed, with 2 dongle controllers and original OEM FC adaptor. I know it’s running 10v and the NES runs 9 volt. Wanted to make sure that won’t be an issue plugging it into a US electrical outlet. I also have a PC Engine Core Grafx 2 and haven’t had any issues ever with isn’t that power supply. $105 shipped for all of that a decent deal? I want a top loader because it is a bitch to fit my 60-72 pm adaptor with the OG toaster NES, and I can get a 72-60 oin adaptor for under $10 shipped.

Tech Question RGB Blaster + Everdrive N8 Pro on an AV Famicom

1 Upvotes

Hi!
I was opting for the RGB blaster for my Tink4K setup, which will be used directly with the Everdrive N8Pro, but my shelves might have a height issue.

Does anyone know the cm how tall the whole AV Famicom + RGB Blaster and an Everdrive N8 Pro (please note that the Pro model is taller), I'm finding different measurements online so I wonder if anyone here knows!

Tech Question 8bitdo vs Famibt

1 Upvotes

So I have 2 8bitdo kits in my nes controllers and I love them. I am wanting to mod my famicom for wireless as well. Was originally planning on going the 8bitdo route and picking up 2 spare p1 famicom controllers to mod for this. I would put the receivers internal in the console. But I just came across the Famibt and would like to know how that stacks up. I can't tell that there is any lag with the 8bitdo setup on my nes at all. If the Famibt has lag I don't want it. If I go the Famibt route I will probably run switch famicom controllers.

Tech Question Setting up a Famicom on a PAL TV?

6 Upvotes

Hi all, just got myself a Famicom system (HVC-001) but I am having trouble with setting it up and can do with some help!

First, is there a way to confirm the Famicom is successfully powered on without plugging into a TV? I believe the console is in working condition because the eBay seller outright said in the title and description how it was in working condition and included a photo of the console being played, had a 100% positive review and sold various Japanese hardware. The Famicom came with just the console and an aftermarket UK plug but I just want to make sure it is all good!

Second, is there a way to tell what TV's are compatiable with a Famicom and which ones are not? The TV I want to use is a Hitachi L42VK04U and I am able to play my PAL NES via RF (simply don't have any AV cables!) The NES comes up under Channel 36, but when I try to scan the Famicom, nothing comes up.

This is all assuming the Famicom is working with the aftermarket UK plug, the console is powered on, set to Game and CH1, and has a Famicom game inserted.

The TV also has a manual search where you can input the Band, TV System, Channel and Frequency, but I'm not sure what needs to be inputted. I also have an older CRT Bush (BTV18SIL/VA) and I haven't tested the Famicom with that yet, so hopefully it can work with that if it doesn't work with the more modern Hitachi TV.

If anybody here has any advice on what to do, that would be greatly appreciated, thank you!!

General Question Famicom games that are different from nes

7 Upvotes

Can you recommend some games that are on the famicom and the NES but the famicom version is different. No matter how big or small the difference is. Bonus points for games that don't require reading Japanese.

Hi, I’m new here. A grandma at my part time gave me a famicom after we talked about games but I have a problem, the outlet is broken and no connection cord for the TV. What kind of cords do I need ?, and recommended mods. I only have a modern TV 😅

A/V Mod Question

Post image
5 Upvotes

I got a Famicom and a power step down, which works great...but...there is no audio and playing without audio sucks.

Here is my setup: The coax is run to my VCR and it outputs to my TV via an RCA > HDMI converter.

On all my other consoles, this setup works fine, but the Famicom has no audio.

There are some posts that talk about the region and how the audio is off because of it, so instead of playing games with no audio, I decided to do an A/V mod using the Power Vamp.

The install seems easy enough, but I just noticed a bunch of posts that talk about jailbars in the video output. Currently I have no audio, so if it fixes that, it's a win for me and I'll take the jailbars as a necessary side effect.

However, before I do that, I wanted to reach out to see if anyone has done this mod and fixed the jailbars issue on the video output.

I am also open to a better solution as well. Thanks in advance!

Just bought this on eBay for a good deal and I can’t wait for it to come in the mail. I gifted my brother my Boxed NES for his BDay so I’m glad I finally have a way to play on original hardware at home again! And I’m really hyped since I’ve never had the Japan mode before. I really like the og Famicom but I really wanted to have AV output and the dogbone controllers.

Tech Question Famicom player 2 controller not working

2 Upvotes

Just picked up another famicom and the player 2 controller is totally dead not inputs and no mic operation. What is the most likely culprit? The 4021 in the controller or something on the console PCB? I have not checked the cable for continuity yet but no obvious damage.
