In search of Famicom to NES Converter

[benjam138]

Anybody have one to trade/sell or know where I can get one?

if u find a copy of an old gyromite cart open her up and you will find a famicom gyromie game with a converter

 

that by the way can be used with all famicom games ( i think)

Is this by all Gyromite games? PAL & NTSC ?

 

Or only by some?

 

And on the site stand too:

Excitebike, Stack-Up, Hogan's Alley, Urban Champion

can have this adapter.

 

But have all them everytime or only a few?

A2600 do you have proof that Gyromite was the only NES game that had famicom converters in them?

 

To MattyXB:

 

My copies of ExciteBike, Ice Hockey and Gyromite do not have any of the converters inside them. This isn't to say that none of them do not, they'll just feel heavier than normal.

Ok, so I went home after work and opened up my Gyromyte cart and no converter. So, I went to Gamestop and bought 3 Gyromytes (all they had). None of them had the converter. I did take my Gyromyte with me to Gamestop and I didn't really feel any weight difference. Is there a considerable weight difference? I gonna try all the other Gamestops in my area and will hopefully find one. If not, Charin if you could get me one, I would sure appreciate it. Also, I was thinking what other games might have it. These are the games I think DO NOT have it:

Baseball (Japanese version has different teams)

Kung Fu (Was called Spartan-X in Japan)

Here are the possible games:

Hogan's Alley

Duck Hunt

Golf

10 Yard Fight (Not sure if there is a Japanese version of the game)

Clu Clu Land

Stack Up

Wild Gunman

Gumshoe

Wrecking Crew

Mach Rider

Excitebike

Tennis

Soccer

Golf

Ice Climber

Pinball

Baloon Fight

Urban Champion

Donkey Kongs 1, Jr.,3, Math

Popeye

Mario Bros.

I think it would be cool to find out which games do have the converter and which do not. I believe I have listed all of the first run games. If anyone can count any out as not having the converter, than by all means post it here.

[A2600]

what thats impossible!!

 

well I know my gyromite was loaded I do have another copy I can try and open it

[A2600]

you dont feel the difference at all!

[A2600]

i'll open mines

[A2600]

i'll open mines

[charin]

I gonna try all the other Gamestops in my area and will hopefully find one. If not, Charin if you could get me one, I would sure appreciate it.

 

If you don't find the converter, feel free to send an e-mail to me and I'll get a converter for you.

 

Best regards,

I read about this quite a while back and can safely say i have opened too many pal carts to find only nothing
