Drakon Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 This is my modified sharp twin famicom. I added the following: True RGB with no jailbars or video interference. Using a rgb ppu chip from an arcade unit. True S-video with no jailbars or video interference. A N64 multi av port. Removed the low pass filter to remove audio muffle on the default audio circuit. A switch on the back to switch between the default audio circuit and the f-labo kit audio circuit. The expansion connector has been replaced with a standard connector so it's easy for me to wire up custom expansion hardware. Original expansion hardware still works fine with the new port. I soldered in nes controller ports so I can use any standard nes controller on this system. Demonstration video: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xDragonWarrior Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 1: It's my money 2: Nothing has been "ruined" everything has been improved in every way imaginable. 1.I know it's your money 2.I like the original status of any console no matter how shitty it was and improved it can get 3.I'm not saying you shouldn't have done it,i'm saying that part of me likes it while the part of me that likes keeping consoles the way they were built dislikes it.And as i stated before, GOOD JOB!

low_budget Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Nice work! I was going to RGB mod my Twin Famicom but I only have one disk so I decided against it. The Twin Famicom isn't that rare. I got mine for $70, all it needed the disk drive belt replaced. Are you using the CXA 2075 for converting the RGB in the system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakon Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) Nice work! I was going to RGB mod my Twin Famicom but I only have one disk so I decided against it. The Twin Famicom isn't that rare. I got mine for $70, all it needed the disk drive belt replaced. Are you using the CXA 2075 for converting the RGB in the system? Yes it's got a 2075 in there. I also removed the low pass filter on the default audio circuit thanks to ace it makes it sound amazing. I don't even use mine to play fds games. Once you remove the lpf and do a nice rgb mod it sounds amazing. To get the best rgb you want the shortest distance possible between the ppu and the amp / encoder chip. I think my model of the twin is the best looking famicom case ever made. I also think once you remove the lpf this thing has the best nes / famicom audio circuit possible. I actually use this twin as my main famicom now. Edited June 15, 2013 by Drakon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGB_Gamer Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I love this modded system. Puts my RGB modded NES (with extra sound channel mod, shiny black car paint, two audio adjustment knobs, SCART output cable) to shame. I want one...

Make sure to get one without copious amounts of hot glue though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't send it to Drakon, unless you want your system to wind up like this: And the story behind it (another Drakon horror story is also in the same thread): http://bit.ly/I9cb9r ApolloBoy, Are there certain models to look out for? Any model will do just fine, I was just cracking a joke at Drakon's overuse of hot glue. I'm sure you can find someone who can do those same mods and have it be way more presentable than that.

RGB_Gamer Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Well where can I get a Twin Famicom modded like his? I currently have a modded RGB NES, but would like to have a RGB modded Twin Famicom instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently have a modded RGB NES, but would like to have a RGB modded Twin Famicom instead.I don't know of anyone who offers premodded Twin Famis. You could always get one and then try contacting Game-Tech.us or Skips about having it modded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 That is awesome! I have a Sharp Twin Famicom myself. I hate the fact the controllers are hard hard wired and only get a couple feet of slack in them. And practically sit right in front of the system. The only negative about it. But love it nonetheless. Awesome mod!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
