r/Famicom

Some of my favorite exclusives are otocky, esper dream,ai senshi nicol, arumana no kiseki and meiku jiin dababa

I have been trying to get my Famicom to run on my Toshiba 14AF43 CRT. I attempted to tune the RF potentiometer within the Famicom to Channel 6, (connected to TV via the original RF switchbox). I was able to get a fuzzy black-and-white signal of Mario 3 (playable but no audio). The following morning the signal was no longer there, and I have been unable to repeat the results.

I followed up by attempting to tune the Famicom to 95/96 via VCR. Also, I swapped the RF switchbox for an RCA cable direct from Famicom to TV via RCA/coaxial adapter. No luck, no matter the signal chain, or whether it’s Channel 6/95/96.

What would cause the unit to output a weak black-and-white fuzzy signal of the game one day, and have zero hints of the game signal on another?

What could be the solution?

My famicom broke down, and the repair shop wasn't able to fix it, so I framed it.

Have this Famicom game laying around, wonder if there's any value in this. Couldn't find any useful information, hopefully someone knows.

Got this as a not working game, it's supposed to be Little Ninja Brothers. It's not, it's not. It came with the shell super glued shut and most of the pins deliberately cut. It's actually John elway quarterback, according to the tops of the chips. Bro sabotaged the repair hoping I would just not even try

UPDATE: I messaged the seller and asked if he wanted this scammy ass thing back or should I just get a refund and toss it. Which if he was legit, would have been a red flag from me, he woulda been like "no scammer I want my game back". So he knew and didn't wanna be bothered 🤣 I got my money and I might keep it for the shell but it's not in the best shape.

The Famicom display at VP CON in Plover Wisconsin today.

Wondering why they made this green one so tall;))

Hi I am wondering which one of these would be better as I would love to get a Famicom over in North American Nintendo The original Famicom shown has the board shown in picture 2 as to the AV FamiCom just has The lava RGB board install

For example bottom right ones says Rocky and Bullwinkle, has Bonkers on it, but the game is Samurai Pizza Cats. Another is Super Mario 14...

Hi, I have just bought a modified famicom in Japan. Looking for suggestions as to how to connect to modern TVs. Looks like it's a mini 8 pin din output?

Which color looks better in your opinion? Can’t decide between the classic look or the transparent red.

A friend was in Japan recently and I asked him to bring me back a common, easy to find disk system game to see how I could use a shadow box to display it. I’m happy with it 🐸

I am inprogress of doing nesrgb mod...

The chip was a pita to remove, did everything right, extra solder, desoldring gun and heat gun. I used a flar tip screw driver to pop it out as i was using the gun. Maybee i wasnt carefull

Well chip came out ok but this is result. I used a meter to test traces and cont passed one end to the other from the test points. I installed a socket for the chip and did contin test pin for pin from top side ro underneath and it passed, beeped on all pins. Lucky i guess

I have tje area in questioned covered up with that gold foil tape for soldering to protect it untill i find proper way to fix. I heard of the green goo and uv light but dont have that on hand
