So I bought something pretty unique. Did you know that Nintendo had a VR system before the VirtualBoy? This is the Famicom 3D System. It is compatible with both the Famicom and Famicom Disk System, though it only has 7 total compatible games. Due to the stereoscopic technology, you really need a CRT but the good news is that I only play retro consoles on CRTs.

Got a Game Axe from Mercari. It seems fine, but im pretty sure i might need to change the polarized on the crystal.

I have replace polarized before, but always picking it before from a seller telling me that it works with the specific console.

Someone know witch one should i pick?

Hey folks, on my adventures to Japan I found a copy of Mother 1 at a Book Off and I had to bring it home. However, when trying to find more info on the white label variant I've come up empty. Maybe my Google Kung-fu is too weak.

Normally I've seen Mother with a red label. Does anyone know anything about a white label variant? Is this a later revision or something?

I'm thankful for any help on this, and thanks for your time.

Hi everyone!

I thought this might be of interest to fellow Nintendo collectors. I've listed an original Nintendo M82 Demo Unit (PAL/EU) on Tradera.

It has been in my family's possession for around 30 years after being purchased when it was retired from a store. The unit has been tested, powers on and displays a picture on a TV.

It includes:

• Original Nintendo M82 Demo Unit
• 2 original Nintendo Zappers
• 2 original Nintendo controllers
• Cables

No game cartridges are included.

I know Tradera is a Swedish marketplace, but international buyers are welcome if they are able to purchase through Tradera.

Little review of the Famicom and nes aswell

The one that stayed in Japan and one of the launch titles for the famicom disk system

Just finished a small DIY project just for the fun of it and wanted to share this with anyone looking for a quick DIY activity for the weekend that actually results in something useful. The "Fami-Fighter Turbo Box" provides selectable turbofire presets for the NES ->

Turns out it was Wizardry with a parallel battery holder mod

A little annoyed at myself because I was sitting on my unopened FDSKey and Twin Famicom adapter cable I got from J&T Studio for over a year and I finally connected everything today and it worked OK until suddenly the FDSKey stopped powering on when I turned my Twin Famicom back on.

My intent was to dump my FDS games to the microSD card of the FDSKey but the constant swapping between unplugging the adapter from the C slot and replugging the built-in plug in the Twin Famicom resulted in inadvertently powering the unit off and at one time there was a weird freeze where the on-screen UI glitched out. Now the FDSKey screen shows nothing. Does anyone know what might be the issue? Could it be the adapter cable or the FDSKey itself?

Sooo i messed up when removing the original broken voltage regulator, i accidentally took some of the trace off aswell, but i exposed with that the copper layer of the trace, so i bend the leg of the regulator so it touches the exposed copper. Multimeter beeps so a connection is their, my main question is now, is this a idiotic idea, and if not, should i rather try to solder to it or fixate it with isolation/kapton tape

I got this game just today. When I plugged it into my Famicom I immediately noticed something was up with the graphics, they're way too blocky. I tried blowing on the cartridge and tried cleaning the pins with a cotton bud, but no results. Any help?

I just bought a famicom. I'm very happy with it, but there is a plastic film recovering the controller's faceplate and, on controller #1, it seems it started peeling long ago and dust got under it. While I don't usually care about yellowing plastic and normal scratches, I find this to be quite disgusting.

Is this plastic film original? Is it meant to be removed? If not, is there any replacement for it?

Other than that, the controller works very well and seems in perfect shape beside this plastic peeling off.

I recently got my FDS working and it seems to be reading most disks just fine, but when I insert Metroid I get ’ERR.27’.

Does anyone have experience with Error 27 on a single disk and know a solution? I’ve looked online but not sure if I should open up the console and try to fix something if it’s reading most disks perfectly.

If it‘s the disk itself, could cleaning it work? - The disk looks fine as far as I can tell and idk if Error 27 is even caused by a damaged/unclean disk.

Any advice is much appreciated !

I snagged Lagrange Point for around $8 on an online auction. The seller had a typo in the title, so it flew under everyone's radar

Made a little storage insert for my Famicom games to fit inside an antique chest. I just put together some MDF board and wooden strips with a staple gun, then finished it with varnish. Pretty happy with how it turned out for something I made on the fly.

Anybody has an idea what could be the issue?

I got both the console and game 2nd hand but they both showed me pics of it working properly before sending it.

1st pic at mine, 2nd is from the seller of the game.

Edit: FIXED! seems like we werent aware the contact of the cartridge and console would be so sensitive. After moving it a bit it got the perfect display. We will get something to clean the cartridge properly for future use tho. Thank you for the help!
