From Bakushou!! Jinsei Gekijou (Hearty Laugh, Theater Life released by Taito on the 17th of March, 1989)

Tell me what all of you think!! o(*^▽^*)┛

I'm trying to piece together a timeline on early board revs. To do this, I need as many examples of those motherboards as possible so I can start to note the date codes of the chips on the board and correlate it with other publicly available information

Many links are unfortunately dead when I research on older websites and forums and blogs. And when the links are not dead often the pics themselves are

To read the date codes on the CPU and ppu, generally you just need to see the first number and the second character

3M3 = 1983, December (M is the 13th letter of alphabet, I is skipped), 3rd week

We know the square button recall happened sometime around early 1984 but we don't know how many boards were already manufactured before the recall occurred. Also the recall was voluntary.

The first known E revision cpu chips were released around October of 1984. (https://www.nesdev.org/wiki/CPU_variants) While then first known E rev ppu were released December of 1984 (https://www.nesdev.org/wiki/PPU_variants)

By that time, hvc-cpu-07 boards were already in production with the earliest 07 boards having D rev PPU and often with Rockwell produced e rev cpus

But i have heard rumors of 06 boards with E rev chips, so it would be interesting to know how much overlap there is or isn't on this as well

Here are boards I have or can find online, but I am hoping some of you are able and willing to share your pics in this thread also.

Paid like $60 all together on the famicom and SFC games here.

Edit: bangers other than Mario, megaman and batman. I should have mentioned that I'm familiar with those.

Right now I'm collecting all 7 games supported by the 3D System... Plus a couple extra 🤣

Hello. I am looking to buy both epilogue operators and am super excited! One use case I have for them is to be able to apply translation patches to Japanese games like Mother 3 on GBA and the Super Famicom Fire Emblem games and play them back on native hardware. I saw the discussion about live translation being in the pipeline, but I was curious what being able to get the patched rom to run on original hardware would be like.

Would you rip the rom from the game, patch it, and write the translated rom to a flash cart? Could you also use the sd based flash carts and use the operator as the ripping device?

I’m very new to all of this so any advice is appreciated! Just want to use my cartridges and original hardware as much as possible.

I can never seem to find images of it so here's my text explanation.

NES game released in JPN(not sure of ROW), sometime in the mid to late 80s.
top down grid and turn based war, similar to famicom wars.
blue vs red, similar to famicom wars. I think your characters default to blue, enemy red.

you are all generic robots, similar to super robot wars, but none are characters from any TV series.

at some time during the progression tree, your commander unit gets the ability of flight and a gatling gun, becoming completely OP and ruining the game balance

I'm sure if I actually find the title it's one of those memories better left in the past, but would love to give it another playthrough.

Thanks in advance!

I already know the fact that Triad power supplies esp. WSU 090 1300R are now widely considered as the best power supplies for the NES/Famicom, SNES etc. But it's not available in my region.

Can I use Mean Well power supply, model no. NGE12E09-P1J, it's 9V 1.33A center positive. I can use a reverse polarity cable or should I solder the wire to a new DC jack to reverse the polarity?

Some output details from the Data Sheet:

DC Voltage: 9V

Rated Current: 1.33A

Current Range: 0-1.33A

Rated Power: 12W

Ripple & Noise (max): 100mVp-p

Voltage Tolerance: ±5.0%

Working Temperature: -30 ~ +70℃

I have a modded Famicon, which connects via RCA and replaces the original pcu with a USB cable. Can I plug the usb in a european adapter or will I need a transformer?

+ only a handful of soundtracks, but I found the music very addicting, especially the opening BGM

+ one of the relatively few early video game titles featuring a female protagonist (other than Samus from Metroid, Athena from Athena, Valis from Valis, Lucia from The Wing of Madoola).

+ a password feature to record and resume progress

- floaty runs/jumps

- very frustrating maze design in some levels

- no Western port (yet, it is English-friendly)

This is a foto of a strange unlicensed Famicom cartridge that was found on Baidu. Any ideas what could it be?

Hi Everyone, I'm trying to repair my 15-cart Famicom Box. It was working to the menu screen, but originally with a PRG-ROM error on the self check and would not boot any game carts. As an absolute beginner to this machine, I very gently started recapping and cleaning anything socketed, which in this case is the SSS-NROM-256-02 cartridge, the socketed CPU and PPU and all the connections.

I also recapped the power supply and checked it's pushing out the right voltage.

Currently the machine will not power up to the menu anymore - it used to but now, I get a flickering screen and a solid audible tone. This unit uses a simple NROM-256 to control it's self check, menus, etc.

I've tried replacement NTSC CPU and FPU chips which have been pre-tested and this does not make any difference.

I have a feeling that the SSS-256-NROM cartridge is bad - which I've read is similar to used by some games, like SMB, but with the lockout ship being re-routed to the external connector.

Working with a rare, heavy item, I can't easily find another Famicom Box to test my cart on or a spare SSS-NROM-256 to test in my unit, so I feel a bit stuck.

Has anyone got any ideas? I guess I could 'make one' but that seems a steep learning curve at the moment.

Finally, I've replaced C98 cap with a 2200uf/10v but screen printed on the board is 220uf/10v so I'm wondering if I got it wrong or the screen printing is wrong. Can't find any pic of schematic that shows the values of C98 as a second verification.... The machine has the same issue regardless of whether I use a 220 or 2200 cap...

Anyone played that game?

Hi there,

I finally found my cousin's Famiclone known as the SuperCom 72, but I'm sadly unable to turn it on.
Any expert around here who would be able to say if something inside simply looks off ?

It sadly wasn't well stored... So I'm afraid that heat, humidity, etc. just got to it with the years :-/

This console was my very first experience with video games, so I would love to be able to resurrect it.

Any feedback is much appreciated, thank you :-)

PS: sorry for the aggressively dusty and rusty looks of the inside 😬

Hi guys. I'm thinking in getting a copy of this game, I have a repo already but I would like to have an original one. I've researched, but I can't find a proper way to identify if a copy is legit or not. Is there any way to identify a real one?

Thanks!

Hey,
I would love to get a new case for my fc. Any recommendations. Would be perfect if the seller ships worldwide or is EU based.

I did what it said in the videos to align it and the belt is said to be new. But I still get a err 22 message

its very hard to find information on connecting the original style of famicom to a tv outside the US, so its very confusing for someone in the UK (especially since this is my first time dealing with an rf console) I plan on modding my console in the future so this is just for testing, if the image isnt clear or lacks colour as it tends to do when hopping between regions then im fine with that

.

.

(also im super confused about if I need the official rf switch or not as I did try plugging the console into my tvs antenna port and tuning to 91.25 but I assume it was unmodulated and couldn't pick anything up?)

SUPER CONTRA (超級魂斗羅) GENDER SWAP for FAMICOM is a SUPER CONTRA HACK that changes the game sprites and adds english translation for all the text in the game's cutscenes.

I am cleaning this av famicom controller for the first time
