Didnt like the chinese fami converters so i made my own
I bought my first famicom game (gradius II excellent game if you havent tried it) and i didnt have a way to play it. i looked at the fami converters that are from china but i noticed it said it doesnt work with a front loader and i dont trust their cic chip to work corectly anyways... other option is to get a rare 3rd party converter by honey bee but i didnt want to spend 60 dollers on one. so my final option was to get a gyromite with the fami coverter in it. only problem is that converter isnt easy to get out and is ugly without a case. so i took the gyromite and cut it down to size and modified the inner plastic so the fami converter wouldnt need screws to hold inside the original platic cartrige. then i took a heat gun and removed the stickers and took a hack saw and cut it down to size.
Its not quite finished im going to add a permanent fabric ribben to pull it out and im going to paint it gold and smooth down the edges where i cut the cart with a file. and dont worry even with the famiconverter its not worth much lol. i only payed 15 dollers for it.

I'm kidding. Definitely worth the sacrifice to play some sweet imports
You destroyed a Gyromite cart?!?!?! WTF MAN?!?!?!?
I can hear a certain someone screaming all the way from here.
Ever since I got my AVS, I've been getting into Fami exclusives (and Famicom games that are substantially different from the NES counterparts.) I might even get the import badge.

If you havent played Yume Penguin Monogatari, you should.
Is he attacking by burping?
Basically your task is to lose weight so your girlfriend penguin comes back to you, after leaving you for a skinnier penguin
I have now seen it all.

I'll take a picture once I get home, looks sweet.
I did that same exact thing except I used the pully part off of a game genie instead. I'll take a picture once I get home, looks sweet.
i have one of those but i cant use it cause it will break the part that holds the fami converter in place

I didn't use the actual cartridges housing, just the plastic piece that you use to yank it out.

Shit, good thing you quoted me again I forgot to post a picture.
I attached it just using an epoxy type glue, super glue would probably suffice as well I think. I used a dremel to remove two little slots on the cart to make the seats for the "game genie puller".
You can see I had to take a little piece of sandpaper to them so they would actually push/pull into the NES a bit better. Gave it a little purple sparkle paint to give it a look as well....Gotta have that.

Nice! i like the purple sparkles XD i decided to do it a diffrent way. i cut a slat opening on the botton of my cart with a dremel. i found some old nylon work out equitment buckles and i slipped that though and glued it down inside the cart. then i painted it with metallic gold paint and rounded the edges with a file where i cut with a hack saw. the paint is drying right now so ill post a picture when im done with it.
