I've
went Nintendo MAD |
|
Ok,
I have went Nintendo MAD the past 3 days. First
I purchased a Super Nintendo, the same day I
purchased an origional Nintendo with Carts,
and before on the 9th I purchased 2 x Famicom
Disk systems (shown below) with disks. One of
the systems is in English and one is in Japanise.
Both the famicoms are not powering up so any
help with these would be greatly appreciated.
I have also decided to add a Nintendo NES section
to the emulators and Roms. I have been sourcing
and downloading all the material I will need
and hopefully should have something up by next
month.

Nintendo
Famicom Disk System |
I
purchased this Japanise import Nintendo Famicom
Disk system today. It came with 70 disks of
games. This unit never sold in the UK but
was available in the USA. I have found a few
sites dedicated to this console (which is
based on the origional NES) and there seem
to be quite a lot of users still out there.
