Sadly, you still don't make sense. The a/v port has nothing to do with what you were talking about.

I have yet to hear of anyone managing to get the FDS working on a famiclone, and to be honest, I doubt I ever will.

Multi Out, thats what I meant, it may need an external power supply, unless power can be bought from the N64

That's an output - how are you going to manage input?

Just like the tristar, use an a/v passthrough jack connected to the back of the n64

And what about the N64 controller input - you still haven't explained how you are going to get an N64 controller to connect to your FDS/NES/GB. If you're not going to bother connecting the N64 pads to the FDS, then why would you bother to use an a/v passthrough on the N64 in the first place? It'd make no sense - they wouldn't be interacting in any way.

hmm... Well, considering the tristar doesn't have controller ports (or doesn't seem to) I guess it uses the n64 controlls somehow.

As far as I know, the FDS works fine with NOACs. I've seen it attached to a NeoFami and running at a store, but I can't say 100% that it works because my RAM adapter doesn't fit properly into my NOAC's cart slot and for some reason my screwdrivers aren't wanting to let me own my NOAC or the RAM adapter to test it :/ Maybe this weekend I can have a go at it again though. I don't think they'd go so far as to put a pirate Mario 2 into a RAM adapter case though.

Right, and I know you appreciate how much work that would be for a home coder.

The cart slot is pretty much the killer, I've heard of people not being able to get their famiclones to work with the FDS because the ram thing won't fit. Reading around though it seems like the FDS works ok on the Neofami, so yeah, you're right. I think most people would rather run it on the real deal, though
