Lord-Chaos #1 Posted June 18, 2003 I have bought this one a few years ago , but don´t have a system where it fits. [/url] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Atari #2 Posted June 18, 2003 Looks like a Famicom cart. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ze_ro #3 Posted June 18, 2003 Looks like a Famicom cartridge to me. Japanese version of the NES. --Zero Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord-Chaos #4 Posted June 18, 2003 I only have a normal PAL NES , so it won´t fit. Maybe this is some sort of pirate cartridge ? Thimo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeV0 #5 Posted June 18, 2003 There is an adapter in some of the very early NES carts, Its just a matter of weighing your nes carts and opening up 1 that seems about twicw the weight as a regular cart. Honeybee also made an adapter which is probably a better alternative, BTW, Gyromite seems to be the most common with an adapter inside Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lost Monkey #6 Posted June 18, 2003 It looks like the "methane" powered Rally X! I found carts that look like that packaged with pirate Famicom systems when I was in Italy last year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, it's not a pirate cartridge at all... the Japanese system was quite a bit different than the other versions. Check out the pictures I attached (Pictures shameless nicked from eBay of course). You can get an adaptor to make the cartridge fit in your system... but I think the adaptor just swaps pins, so I don't know if PAL/NTSC problems will persist. --Zero Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BoOchan! #8 Posted June 18, 2003 Check This Site for some more Pirate Famicom Cartridges like the one you have. http://atarihq.com/tsr/pirate/index.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Atari #9 Posted June 18, 2003 Yes, that's no pirate (apparently). Famicom and the NES, while bascially the same system, were shaped differently, both console and cart wise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian R. #10 Posted June 18, 2003 Ha! I love that "Engrish" on the back of the cart! Anyone else read that? It's hilarious. "Since this is a sophisticated apparatus, should avoid to operate or to store under extreme temperature, also avoid violent bumps is necessary; moreover, never disassemble it."

Raijin Z #11 Posted June 18, 2003 It only needs two words to fix it... but anyway, I bought a copy of Gyromite BECAUSE it has the adapter in it. The weight difference isn't -terribly- noticable, but if you have THE POWER, you can tell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atari Rescue Group #12 Posted June 20, 2003 Those cartridges fit into the Power Joy units too, don't they? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slapdash #13 Posted June 21, 2003 Yes, that's no pirate (apparently). Well, depends on how you mean... It's Famicom, not NES, like people have said, but I'm pretty sure it's a pirate cartridge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
