Which NOAC should I use?

Post by Lachy17689 » Tue Aug 31, 2010 10:47 pm

I've hit a wall with my project, I can't decide which NOAC I should buy. I can't use an original NES no matter how much I cut the Mother Board, so I'm stuck, there are so many NOACs I haven't got a clue which works the best for what I want.

Before we get started I am looking for a PAL system. Compatible with the standard 72-pin connector games and Preferably works with the NES power pack (flash cart). Thanks you guys

I'm pretty sure all NOAC's are Region free,

72-Pin connector games are 'stock' nes games. Every NOAC will have a 72 pin connector.

From RetroZone's own page.
System Compatibility List:
Works on authentic Nintendo Systems including NTSC, PAL A, PAL B, and Asian top loader and toaster systems.
Works on Famicom using 72-60 pin converter.
Does NOT work on clone systems like the NEX, Yobo, or FC Twin.
Untested on portable systems, not likely to work.

Why is this so?
The case I'm using is too small for the original, enough said.

They're not most NOACs are either PAL or NTSC I've only come across two region free ones.
72-Pin connector games are 'stock' nes games. Every NOAC will have a 72 pin connector.
Most crappy NOACs use the Famicom 60 pin connector not the NES 72 pin.

If it has 60 Pin connector, its not a NES clone; is a Famiclone.
