please stop killing first-print black box titles when there are tons of converters available new for very cheap, it may have been understandable 10 years ago but it's savagery today, these aren't just any NES boards, they're historical pieces, the games that came in the boxes with a black sticker sealing the top
Dicing up John Elway's Quarterback is one thing but this is just cruel
just buy a converter with a ribbon so you can get it out of your frontloader properly
Gyromite is like $1 everywhere. It's one of the most worthless games you find at the flea market. There are FAR more copies of this game around than ROB the robot, and it's useless without the robot. The Gyromite carts with the adapter inside are less common, but I've encountered several in the wild (and encountered them WAY more often than ROB the robot).
I 3D-printed a shell for my Gyromite adapter. I can put the adapter back inside the Gyromite cart shell at any time. I'm an obsessive compulsive hoarder. That's the only reason.
that's fine, just don't cut the thing in half
Copies that have the converter are from the launch window where demand outstripped supply and Nintendo had to come up with something fast, so I think they have some degree of historical worth
Also, I'm kinda bitter about how many people did this to Stack-Up because we knew it was the only game with an always-guaranteed converter and now it's certainly not $1 anymore
for the love of god can we agree not to hurt anymore Stack-Ups
How does one butcher a gyromite to make it an adapter? I know you can just swap the boards but thats a pain to open and close the cart each time for front loader
I have a cut-in-half Gyromite converter but it was already that way when I bought it.
By purchasing that mutilated Gyromite, you have (unwittingly?) financed and encouraged retro genocide / terrorism. How do you feel about that?
Pretty good actually, thanks for asking!
There's only a small chance that my purchase would have encouraged the seller to make any more of them. Plus I don't have to destroy another one on my own if I had really wanted to.

Very strange. I must have the odd man out system. Well, I still use analog on my system as well, so it's not like it's hurting anything to be there.
Yeah. I'm considering the mod for mine, but I'll probably wait until I have an actual Famicom game that uses it.
Agreed, i'm not too worried about that sound mod since I don't have any Famicom games that use it.

Yikes!
