Right, so wood it is. Now, I came up with another idea, but this involves doing something like an FC Twin, in which I gut both a Super Nintendo and an NES and stuff it into 1 casing(both top-loading, but I'll need a Yobo or Game Genie to make my front-loader go top-loader, and I'd probably extend the height of the Super Nintendo's casing(the big one) to fit the NES's motherboard, though that idea is on the back burner because I don't have many games I like on the Super Nintendo. By the way, is there a way to extend the controller port cables from the motherboard to the ports so if I use the design of the original US top-loader, I can put the controller ports in front instead of on the side? And, which casing idea is best for my NES front-loader gone top-loader mod in your opinion?

One mod I have been cooking up involves gutting a Yobo to get its 72-pin connector. It's to turn a front-loader into a top-loader. Now, I've got a couple of casing designs I'm testing: Family Computer(old with controller 1 hardwired or AV) NES 2(the controller ports will be on the side because their cords are too short to reach the front of the motherboard) Yobo-ish casing(might look lame, boring and ugly, haven't experimented with it yet) Unless I get a Generation NEX(I hope I will because I'll be in the States for 5 days, and it's $60 for a more feature-packed and possibly better clone than the Yobo, which costs $50 here), then take its connectors and shrink the NES' casing until the top touches the metal piece of the power/AV modulator and the side is almost touching the motherboard if I hate it. Now, I have no plastic or resin, so what I had in mind was to make the casing out of metal or wood. Any good? EDIT: If that last idea might land me into legal trouble with Messiah, I'll scrap it.

Well I was unable to buy to Yobo as someone bought the one that was there and they won't be getting any more until at least Thursday. But I'm holding myself back as no one has ever posted their personal experience with the games I own on a Yobo and the other 2 Famiclones I mentioned. And I apologize if this is considered a bump.

I actually have a front-loader, but I wanted to buy myself a top-loader, but its price on eBay is keeping me away from it. Not only that, I can't find one anywhere in my local pawn shops or flea markets. So I'd get anything top-loader, real or not, and whatever works wrong will be used on my front-loader(I know Gradius in my 110-in-1 might, because it sounds really bad on the FC Twin, saw it on a YouTube video, although I'm not sure if that same issue is true with the Yobo FC. I'll put up a link to the video once I find it again. I'll need a response really fast, as I might go pick up one of the Famiclones tomorrow. EDIT: Here's the link to Gradius running on an FC Twin:

Didn't the patents for the hardware expire a while back? These clones were made afterwards, but I believe the Poly 2 is illegal as it has an integrated 76-in-1 or something, although I'm not sure when these first started popping up, whether before or after. But I would really love it if someone who has a Yobo and the games I've listed to give me their personal experience with the games on their system. And you know what, ever since I saw the crazy prices for a real top-loader, I thought I might as well get a clone(better than nothing, and I have my modded(disabled lockout chip) front-loader as back-up when a game has major issues or doesn't work at all, like Castlevania III and Rad Racer II, although mine is damaged(has pins that are missing), and doesn't work properly on a real one

Yeah, I always thought the PolyStations were really cheaply made, and when I picked it up, it was like picking up a piece of paper, which had me say, "Cheap NES-on-a-chip as usual", but the Yobo has me hooked, as I wanted to get myself an authentic top-loader, but they run for over $70 Canadian on eBay and with shipping and all can result in over $100 as the total price, and the Yobo is at an acceptable price(at least for me it is), but I wouldn't go FC Twin because of the inability to use NES controllers and because I'm paying $75 for a half paperweight, remember, I already got the games I want for the Super Nintendo on my Wii, so it's useless to get the original carts. By the way, if you own any of the games listed on my first post, what was the result from your first-hand experience? And, I can play Japs because I have not 1, but 3 Famicom to NES converters with me(one attached to my 110-in-1 that was stuffed inside a Gyromite cart, a generic one in a casing and one in my Excitebike cart.

I was wanting to get myself a Famiclone in order to keep my two front-loading NESes in good working order for a long period of time. Now, since most of the recent ones are NES-on-a-chip, I was a little hesitant, until I stopped by my local Flea Market and found 3 Famiclones, the Poly 2(probably the new line of PolyStations, made to resemble the slimline PlayStation 2, costs about $40 Canadian), the Yobo FC($50 Canadian) and the FC Twin($75 Canadian). I was wondering which of these would be best for my NES game collection, which is: (list moved to post #10) I'd like for some of you who've had personal experience with these Famiclones to tell me how these games work on your consoles. But I think my best choice would be the Yobo, as I'm not sure about the inclusion of a Light Gun in the Poly 2, and the fact it has a Famicom cart slot(I have no NES-Famicom converter), and the FC Twin only accepts Super Nintendo controllers, as well as me having no Super Nintendo carts(I already have the games I want on my Wii, so there you go). So, from personal experience, what was the result when playing these games on your FC Twin, Yobo(it's the American version) or Poly 2?
