yeah I have an FC Twin too, and I like it a lot.

I don't think the clone in the link above takes the old NES controllers. As clones go, the Yobo Game Console and the FC Super Loader are of about equal quality and price, and use NES controllers. I have an FC Super Loader and am very happy with it. Most people agree that a casual gamer won't notice or care too much about minor sound differences with clones. I run mine through a large speaker system, and don't notice anything I'm too concerned about.

Century Gothic looks pretty close, but it actually looks like something in between Century Gothic and Arial.

Wow, well thanks for sharing, that is certainly a good piece of info to have.

I know I'm new around here, but I'm not sure what you are so bitter about. I am new here, but not new to message boards in general, and I do know that dropping in to randomly scold people in general will not likely get you many praises. I don't know who offended you exactly or for what reason, but let it go man, life is short.

Well I understand your statement perfectly, but to my understanding, the Yobo or the FC Super Loader does not support the FDS. So the only systems that can run it are the Nintendo manufactured systems (including the TWIN Famicom), and the NEX. True, I suppose if I were interested in FDS then I would go with NEX.

From the pictures, NEX looks like a beautiful machine. However, if it has about the same compatibility as cheaper systems like the Yobo or FC Super Loader, why would I want to buy it? It is twice as expensive. Now, if they made the NEX 100% compatible then I would buy it right away.

I really do appreciate the feedback, but please notice I wasn't asking for opinions about whether original hardware is better than clone hardware. I've read several previous threads on this topic and I think I know where everyone stands. Mainly I was curious about how the FC Super Loader compared to other clones, but I probably didn't state that exactly. Now that I have the FC Twin and the SL, though, I just might try to get a "real" NES sometime soon...if I can talk the wife into the purchase. I've read that the FC Twin plays SNES pretty much as well as the original, so I may not bother with a "real" SNES. EDIT: Yes, that is an invite to comment on the FC Twin SNES quality :-)

I tried that - it didn't work. I don't believe it will work due to the hardware differences. Yes, I know the pinouts are quite the same, but that doesn't mean the FC Twin can read the zapper. Somebody prove me wrong Anyhow - the FCTwin (discussed far more indepth Here and Here) is so far pretty unbeatable as top clone, and is definitely my favorite. I tried to make an adapter for the zapper to use on the FC Twin, and it didn't work for me either.

Just a quick note. I bought a FC Super Loader to check it out. It seems very comparable to the NES function of the FC Twin, with the same compatibility issues. The FC Super Loader is very, very similar to what I have read about the Yobo Game Console, and also takes original NES controllers. I played Duck Hunt on it with the FC Super Loader zapper gun and it works well. I dont have the Yobo NES console, but from what I can tell from pics, the FC Super Loader is just slightly more attractive because the plastic case has some design to it that is reminiscent of the original NES. COMPATIBILITY Here is what I have, not too many games, but they seem to work the same in the SL and the FC Twin... Gauntlet: loads but has flaws as described in other reviews. Can walk though walls, etc. Working from tests: TMNT Duck Hunt Super Mario Bro 1 Super Mario Bro 3 Ghost Busters Batman Bionic Commando Robocop Pinball Ninja Gaiden Wizards & Warriors 1 Wizards and Warriors 2 Wrath of the Black Manta ...that's all the games I have right now. The picture and sound seem good to me. One other thing to note is that the AV cables that came with the FC super Loader are problematic. They take some fiddling sometimes to get a connection for the picture and sound. However, when I swapped them out with the AV cables that the FC Twin comes with, I had no problems.

I'm not actually going to mod the zapper itself, I'm just going to try to make a controller adapter plug.

Hi everyone. I've recently become interested in having NES/SNES hardware around again. I haven't actually owned either of these systems since I was a kid. I recently bought the FC Twin and am waiting for it to come in the mail. I am a bit concerned whether I can mod a controller so the FC twin can use a zapper. I see that the Yobo for NES can do this (use a zapper). Does anyone know anything about the "FC Super Loader?" They are on ebay but I can't seem to locate reviews online anywhere. They look a lot like the Yobo game consoles, they accempt NES controllers, and they are about the same price. In any case I am going to attempt to create a controller adapter by merging NES/SNES contoller extension cables following some directions I found online. Has anyone else taken this aproach for getting a zapper to work on the FC Twin?
