Does anybody own a Famicom?

Post Reply New Topic

Who here owns a Nintendo Famicom? I currently own one along with an NES, Intellivision, and a Sega Genesis Model 2. I also have about 18 games for the Famicom.

With all curiousity and thanks,

I don't, but I wish I did. Do you have to do anything special to get it to work with a North American TV or power outlets? I know Japanese outlets are similar to ours, but 100v instead of 110-125v.

I don't know what kind of AC adapter you use for the Famicom, but I do know that you can use an NES RF Switch cable for the console. And you have to have your TV set to channel 95 or 96 for the video to come up on the screen. Channel 95 and 96 is the equivalent to Channel 3 and 4 for Japanese televisions.

I've thought about it, maybe if I could find one cheap. I modded my NES for expansion audio, it doesn't sound perfect but it's okay. I haven't modded my NES 2 yet, because it requires also making a small modification to the Everdrive cart.

What he said. Also, the original Famicom can be modded to output composite video, and the A/V Famicom natively supports the same composite cables as SNES/N64/Gamecube.

As for power, I'm not 100% certain, but I thought Famicom was still 9v, so you could just use a US adapter.
