NES to Famicom adapter

in Help Wanted!
Is this not a common thing? I bought a famicom and don't want to buy an Everdrive Famicom version because I have an NES as well, but I'm liking the Famicom a lot more. I see one for $30 on Stoneagegamer; anyone know of a cheaper one?

    Definitely not as common as the 60 to 72 PIN ones.



    I could see you having to pay within the price range for one.

    I found one for $22 on Aliexpress, but it's not shielded or with a case so I guess I'll have to pay up for the SAG one.

    When I bought my 62 to 60 adapter I just bought the PCB and mounted it inside a SMB/DH shell and cut the shell down with a dremel tool and sanded it up and super glued it shut.



    I also cut little slits and mangeled an extra Game Genie for the plastic grip piece and mounted it onto the cart shell so you can pull it out after!



    Honestly I think it beats the shit out of the good quality Honey Bee ones I see for sale.

    I just spent $40 on one. The stone age gamer was sold out when i tried to buy.

    If Famicom EverDrive N8 supports some expansion / FDS audio, I'd prefer to have that instead of the NES EDN8.

    I'll definitely have to check that option out, currently looking for a DIY solution and how these actually work; doesn't seem like any logic is involved. I'm a pretty cheap person haha.

    This is true, I haven't really read into the FDS, I may eventually buy a Twin. I'll have to see if it's NESRGB compatible.

    One of of my first 3D prints. I didn't have the leveling right, but I kinda like the texture effect.























    The adapter inside that 3D-printed shell came from a copy of Gyromite.

    You mean to play NES games on Famicom?

    That's exactly what I'm looking for, couldn't filter out the other arrangement for NES. Is it worth it to just get the Famicom Everdrive and use a gyromite adapter then, wasn't aware of any enhanced features over the NES like someone else mentioned. Guess I'll do some more research but I'll save that eBay link.

    Make sure you don't end up with an adapter designed for the 60 pin clones. They look the part but the pins are too short to work on a proper famicom

    I got an extra one if you are really in a pinch. $10 shipped gets it for ya, it just has no shell.

    Found a copy of Excitebike today:















    Now I've found them in Excitebike, Pinball, and several copies of Gyromite. Stack-Up too, but I believe every single copy of that game has the adapter inside.

    Yeah, every Stack-Up has one. It's the only game guaranteed to have an adapter.
