Antillese posted:Thanks, this is helpful info. I'm actually asking because I'm working to close on an empty candy cabinet. It's got the monitor and the JAMMA harness and those are two things that I don't want to mess with. I'll be reselling them so I wanted to know what I could expect. Keep your harness until you've got a new one. The new ones mostly come labelled, where as if you rip out the old one, instead of remove one / place one with the new cables, you may find yourself spending ages trying to hook everything back up.  The monitors in those from what I've heard are pretty nice, but of course transport is a prick. Monitors nearly always sell though, so you should have no troubles moving it.

To be perfectly honest I think if Krikzz is an rear end and is like "one or the other!" I'll probably go Fami. If I do that I'll buy a bunch of NES/Fami converters from him for the NES people. Is that okay for everyone who wants an NES one? I'd charge no markup at all on the adapter and if I get enough NES poo poo games I'll send one so you can just plug in a Fami cart. Also hell yeah check what I found http://www.ghostcase.com/ps2/ps2-pinkish-red-ghostcase.html  I spent more on that to fix my friend's old dead-optical-drive, shell-less PS2 than the spare fat PS2 I got off Craigslist today

I may have said that and was slightly wrong. It will fit, but you have to break some of the retaining pegs inside the NES cart. You will also have to cut a slot where the microSD slot is (on the side), while the NES-sized one uses a full-size SD card along the top. Incidentally, has anyone managed to successfully tap N8 expansion audio using thie external NES mod? http://callanbrown.com/index.php/castlevania-iii-with-full-famicom-audio ? I really want a "works in an unmodded NES" solution if it can be done.

I don't know why I haven't seen this mentioned in this thread yet, but I just found it myself. http://enio.chykn.com/wiki/index.php/ENIO_EXP_Board is a board that plugs straight into the expansion slot on the NES, which actually enables the expansion audio with no further modifications. It can be purchased from http://nintendorepairhut.com/accessories/nintendonesaccessories.html I don't know why people aren't making a big deal of this. $20 and all you have to do is remove the little plastic cover from the expansion slot, and make a minor modification to the case to expose the NES board, and it just plugs right in. No soldering. That seems amazing.

Using the expansion port for an easy audio mod has been known for a very long time, but that board there -does- make it convenient, and the fami accessory bonus is quite nice for some folks.

It would be really drat cool to stuff an N8 in my downstairs NES and never take it out again. If you'd be up for some trade-ish type stuff (in addition to our current trade) I could ship you that Mario Electronic Pinball and a crisp  if you'd be interested.

If you selected the SD card option on the thing I'm gonna get one of these for you: http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Class-Flash-Memory-TS8GSDHC10E/dp/B003VNKNEG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381899786&sr=8-1&keywords=8gb+sd Once I get the last two N8 form responses I'm going to email everyone who made a commitment and start collecting cash. I'll announce once that happens with a big gaudy flashy post in here and probably keep accepting more people who wanna get in on it for like a week after that and then place the order. Capisce?

elf help book posted:I kinda wanna buy that thing and also a famicom. is buying a famicom a bad idea A bit late now, but if you're a retrogame collector then buying a Famicom is never a bad idea. A Super Famicom can easily be replaced by a regular Super Nintendo. Other systems may have similarly easier options than getting their Japanese counterpart. The Famicom, however, is both a key piece of gaming history and has several vital differences from the NES. You should want one.

Speaking of the N8, I re-visited it not booting on my Famicom and made a very odd discovery. I rolled back to OS version s3m5 and it worked. I have two Famicom N8s that behave identically, and the new OSes work fine on my NES. Something added in OS v4 makes it crash on boot. Weirdest drat thing. Anyone care to guess what the problem could be? Here are the patch notes: nesos-v4 04.07.2013 1)mmc3 mapper was improved 2)New mappers implemented: 40, 133, 99, 151 3)OS allow to load gg cheats from text file. Cheats should be written in XXXX-XXXX format. Few codes can be listed in column, or separated by comma in the line 4)Apu initialization before than run the game 5)Naming convention is changed. From now name contains only OS version, without mappers version I'm guessing it has something to do with note #4. The AV mod is bog-standard. There are two audio outs but they're both wired to the same place, no extra chips or anything like that I don't think. The video is handled by a tiny board with caps and resistors on it (a breakout box for the AV mod, yes I do have jailbars). EDIT I just killed a room full of Pols Voice in Zelda 1 using the power of my own voice.  VV I'm the only one who seems to have been affected by it, oddly enough. univbee fucked around with this message at 02:42 on Oct 17, 2013 |

Has anyone ever had problems with expanded audio out of an Everdrive N8 from FDS games? The opening theme to Zelda sounds like a bunch of sad kazoos on mine but if I use an actual Famicom Disk System with a copy of Zelda it sounds fine.

I'd be willing to bet it's something in that too, unless all AV Famis get hosed up by the update. I doubt it's the video mod now that I give it another look, it's literally pulling a signal one way from the mainboard, I don't think it can return and gently caress anything up. This reeks of a software issue. It's hard to tell with any certainty because the board is tucked away and hard to see, but it looks similar to this, with the hardware being on an extra little board instead of straight on the motherboard: http://jpx72.detailne.sk/modd_files/fc/avmod.htm
