With the gen1 ngage i saw on my previous post, i was experimenting with the mmc card. Adding ngage game and installing bliz games worked flawlessly, but im having problems installing jar/jad files.

Tried this bubble bobble (supposed to be the correct version):

When opening the JAD file, it offered me to install the game, but it show me to connect to a server, of whitch i selected a random one, and i got an error. Any idea how can i prevent this on line validation to appearce?

Edit: i was able to prevent the connections from appearing creating the jad myself, but i get a install error... Dunno if this is not the version supported by ngage.

Just got the correct power supply today, and, luckily, i can confirm that the normal famicom and FDS turn on.

The console was sold as 'not reading games on neither cartridge slot and disk system'. so i tested it.

Tested the disk system after putting the new belt and im getting error 22, so i gues i didnt calibrate it well. Will check it more carefully.

Tried a cartridge and got a grey screen. Dunno what might cause it...

For now, i will do a full recap and calibrate correctly the disk system, and see how it goes :).

Edit 1: Cleaning the pins, the cartridge slots works fine. Im not sure what happens with the audio, but is sount cracky and terrible, but not always. Im disconnecting/connecting a lot, and sometimes the sound is nice... the audio connector slot might need cleaning?

Edit 2: Having problems with the calibration... each tutorial i see says a different thing, and i dont know if maybe i just put the turning piece on the wrong position XD. Any tutorial i could be recommended?

Edit 3: cracking sound solved after cleaning controller 2 micro switch pins :D. The disk Drive got worse and now doesnt even give error 22, only reads forever. I guess i broke something hahaha.

I actually wasnt expecting to buy it, but saw it really cheap, and i was like... why not? Because i wasnt expecting it, i have a few questions:

-Power supply. Does this console have a internal power supply and needs a power supply conversion for 220 pal, or is ok with a cable? In both cases, what should i get? I just got problems a few days ago with the power supply of a twin famicom, so i want to confirm everything haha.

-Video cable. Going to play on a crt, so a normal cable is ok (RGB if the 3DO is able). Whitch one should i pick?

-Controller. I got it cheap because the controller wasnt working properly. I guess somethings wrong inside or some broken cables on the controller. Dunno whats the most common failure i should check first.

-Gun. The console has a lot of games i want to play that are played with a gun, but seems like the Gamegun is rare (that is even worse, because even with money, is not easy to find one haha). Is there any 3rd party option to play this gun games, or i should wait for 1 to appearce on a reasonable price?

-ODE. Saw the ODE option, and a few games mods i would want to play. The official one seems to not being sold right now outside of ebay, and i saw one with a PICO on aliexpress, that seems like the best option for me to buy to Spain. How good are these ones? Do they have option for cheats?

And thats everything for now... Happy to join the family!

Because the stupid AI told me the Twin Famicom used the same power supply as the normal Famicom (9v, center negative), i went for it without thinking. I got one that, at least, had the disk belt broken, but, before i opened it, i wanted to test if the cartridge worked. After a few seconds, i saw smoke and turned it off.

Yeah, now the AI tells me that i need a center positive 7,5. Good to know now haha.

Checking inside, the smoke was for sure from the 2200 uf capacitor, that was hot, and obviously bloated. Im also not sure if the voltage regulator might be bad... but it seems fine to me. Still, i will replace both the cap and the voltage regulator for now ( i ordered a cap kit for the rest).

Something else that might have blew up, that i should check?

I was having some problems controlling the joystick, even with a spring replacement. With the testing i can confirm that the joystick is fine and i just suck, but i saw that the second controller shows disalingment, even without a controller in.

I changed my controller to the second port, and the problem persist. Any idea of what might be wrong?

Hi!

Preparing for my birthday, on whitch i know my systers present will be the Ngage, i received the mmc card today, and wanted to get and burn a bin image from:

https://myngage.hypn.za.net/index.php/pages/4.php

The problem... they say that you use Ntools to burn it, but, when i try to do it, it makes me select a .bin in both the input and output, when i cant select any .bin on the output, because there is nothing on the mmc card haha.

How can i burn the .bin?

Hi!

Just read about the AES+ delay to september :(. The true is, i didnt bought the AES+, but i picked up 2 games (Metal slug and Magician Lord).

Is confirmed if the games will also get delayed? Havent read about it.

I wanted to play Dragon Quest on an emulator, so i wanted to move my save from the everdrive.... then found this .nes format. Tried to both load the .nes, and change the extension to .sav, but no luck.

At the start i thought that, maybe, i corrupted the files... but no, the .NES saves works as expected on the everdrive. Is there a way i can transform the .nes to .sav? Now i want it for an emulator, but i wanted to pick an everdrive n8 pro on black friday... and i might not be able to pass my save data if it works with .sav files (i guess it does, because i cant find the info online for the .nes format).

Tried to ask the AI, and things that no game have an ending, and asking more he started to give some info on homberew i didnt ask... nha, i want to know games with ending, even if the games continues.

For now, i played Dark Tower, Fortress of Narzod and Spike. I consider both Dark Tower and Fortress of Narzod have an ending (spike tecnically has one at the end of each stage, but still pretty sort of a game if i go for that haha).

I know Mine Storm has a ending because the game glitches, but i refer more to getting to a conclusion or beating a boss.

Munro is asking me to die with the ship. Should i let her die, or should i save her and have her on my ship? Not sure about the best outcome...
