), I'll probably have another go at my various Everdrive DATs and I might make DATs for both Powerpaks as well. Anyone notice anything awry with the ones I posted earlier I might have missed? Also what's the standard place to make a website with tiny downloadable files that's free so I can put these in a centralized location?

Miyamotos RGB NES posted:Seems fair if Stadium Events can get $30,000 that this should get more, seeing as there's 2 in existence and it's an actual console and not just a pre-ROM hack for a boring NES game. Stadium Events has a better story around it. The Pluto is just a proto system that is barely functional, and even though it's rarer and has a better historical value, the story around it is pretty much the same as every other proto sega console that never sees the light of day.

Oh poo poo, son! Guess who got into the NES pin converter game? http://shop.retrogate.com/Famicom-To-NES-adapter-FTNES.htm You now officially no longer need to gut old 5-screws. Even better, these are designed with the audio passthrough built-in. VV I'm in batch 3.

^^^^ If they go by order number within the batches, there's a not-insignificant chance of that #001 cart being mine.  Miyamotos RGB NES posted:Mystery power stuff. doujindance does awesome work, but I really don't get how he decides what to include with a particular system. Some have boxes and some don't. They all have different controller models. This one has a multitap, which he doesn't do very often (usually he sells them individually for $6 or something stupidly cheap like that). Mine had a world power supply, but apparently this one didn't. By the way, if you decide to get a six-button controller, there are a couple different models available. I mostly see people recommend getting one of these since apparently the other model has a really crappy D-pad. I can't say for sure, though, since I haven't tried both. However, this one's the controller that I got with my Duo R, and I can say that it works very well. Totally unrelated to the PC Engine discussion, it looks like I'm going to be getting my N8 deluxe edition soon. SAG's getting the first preorders finished up and mine's supposed to be one of the ones in the first batch.

Nice! I think doujindance does parts based on availability and also gauges worth of them. For example I got a Duo-R with a matching pad and nothing else while the one RGB NES got has a core grafx 2 pad so he probably threw in a duo tap as a "sorry, doesn't match" deal. I also wonder about when he decides to do which video mod - mine's both s-video and rgb while most are rgb only. I ended up throwing an avenue 6 pad and a joy card onto my rakuten order last night so hopefully it gets thrown in with the other crap I ordered

Miyamotos RGB NES posted:$100 for a controller??? There are very, very few games that make use of a 6-button controller. There's also a 3-button controller, although I think all it does is turn select into a third button (i.e. a traditional two-button controller will work if you don't mind using select for a certain in-game action). Here's a complete list of games that use >2 buttons in both HuCard and CD form (including Arcade): http://www.slowdays.org/wiki/List_of_6-Button_PC_Engine_Games

If you can order from the same store (and they haven't gotten a ship/bill confirm yet), just go ahead and check it out and they'll add it to your order. Remember, Rakuten works by allowing you to 'check out' which sends an order to a store, and a store has to collect everything else, figure out shipping and sends you a bill. Until you get this bill, you can still add (or maybe remove) to the order.

Word of warning with the 6 button pads - they work differently from the two button pads/ three button in that it's actually 2 controllers wired into a single controller and it uses bitswitching to say which buttons are pressed. These controllers do not play nice with games > 2 players. The 3 button controllers have select mapped to the third button so it doesn't have this problem.

That $40 "Panasonic Q" linked while I was on probation was just the controller, not the system. They're quite  because gba players don't fit on them and require a special one that is REALLY expensive.

With the free shipping on Rakuten, now seems to be the perfect time to buy a donor famicom cart to house my N8 (which I plan to purchase in the near future). So my question is; is there a specific game/case style I'm looking for? The more awful, common, cheaper the game, the better. I hate butchering working games.

It's free shipping (well, up to 5000 yen) if you spend 10000 yen, so this may not necessarily be the best avenue for you if all you want is a Famicom game shell.

It's krikzz's store, who makes all the system flashcarts we can't shut up about. Generally stuff on his store does go out of stock but comes back eventually, whether or not these will sell like hotcakes or not and have him struggling to keep them available remains to be seen.

Cool, then I'll definitely order one. Also judging by the photos, am I supposed to remove the chip from the Famicom cart and put it into a US NES cart for the adapter to work? Is this safe/too much of a hassle to be doing over and over? Sorry for my crazy novice-ness. I'm just used to buying a cart and jamming it into my NES.

You can mount one in an NES cart yourself- pretty much look up any tutorial for how to do this with a Gyromite converter and you'll see what to do. You don't have to open the Fami cart every time you want to play- that's just if someone really wants to permanently put one into an NES cart (like for a flash cart, or maybe a repro?)

If you're doing it with famicom carts in a shell it should be fine bare. If you're doing it with bare boards (e.g. Famicom N8 board-only) it won't work right in a front-loading NES without a shell, because the push-down mechanism uses the plastic shell for leverage in pushing the board down to make contact.

A Yolo Wizard posted:did you use 1/8 watt or 1/4 watt? I know this makes a difference when doing the mod on an nes - fc converter (if you were going to use the powerpak on a famicom for instance) What I used is rated 0.5w. However, because I'm doing the straight NES cart, I was under the impression that I only needed to do the mod of the expansion port and not the Everdrive cart itself when it comes in. Because it's got that huge knob, I've fashioned it in a way that I can turn down/off the expansion audio. What I was mostly curious about was what side-effects this might have on other carts if I leave the expansion audio on.

They're up near you (Michigan) so it should be quick provided they don't have a backlog of things to ship out. It's something like a 2 man operation.
