finding a 60-72 pin in gyomite?
Moderator:Moderators
guys, just a quick one...
just managed to get a 5-screw version of gyromite, and its got both gold stamps on it, but there was a 72pin board in there, not a converted one...
has someone swapped it over then resold it on?
i though all early, 5-screw gyromites had them in......

that's true, but you're also testing this on a superjoy. I don't think uk carts would work on a famicom. US carts might, which would not explain the lockout chip. But yeah, it's not news that you can directly change the wiring for an adaptor
edit: actually, wait. The reason may be that you have a nes to famicom adaptor, and not vice versa. I do not believe that the famicom (like the nes2) had a lockout chip at all. the adaptor found in gyromite is famicom to nes, and since famicom carts don't have a lockout chip (just like the famicom), the adaptor needs one.
end of the mistery

if you were looking for a family converter to play nes games on a famicom, the converter in the gyromite cart is not what you were wanting anyway. the gyromite converter lets you play famicom on an nes.
anyway, thanks for the link and pics!

naw, he used it only for testing purposes of his wiring job.duke2k7 wrote:funny, i completely misunderstood ben then...didnt he rewire the gyromite converter toplay nes on the famicom?Kyo wrote:yes, which proves that I am a genius and everything I say makes perfect sense.
anyways, its sorted - whoever was right...
