So... which games do you own?

Awesome about the price. I do like collecting games, after all, and the cheapter the better.Mugenmidget wrote:What's your best advice for playing Famicom games on an NES?Adamant wrote:6-10$ on ebay.

As far as running Famicom games on the NES... I'm not wholly sure. I do know that the SNES had its cartridge slot downsized so as to prevent the insertion of Super Famicom carts. There is supposed to be a converter of sorts that lets you play SFC carts on a regular SNES, though!
Whether this applies to the NES or not with the FC is up in the air...

For SNES imports, all you have to do is BREAK THE TABS inside the Super Nintendo that prevent the SFC carts from fitting. This is only on the older model though.
I didn't wanna break the tabs (even though it looks painless, I don't wanna take my chances.) Since I didn't, I only had one alternative according to some websites. A Game Genie.
So I buy one, but curse my luck it was a "newer model" with the protection tabs on it. But I realized that a Game Genie is not an expensive thing and broke the tabs off of that.
And thus, my *homemade* Super Famicom to Super Nintendo Converter.
And about the Famicom games, I remember some sort of article about finding converters inside REAL Nintendo games.
If anyone has any more specifics on that, I'd be happy to hear it.

Okay, I'm no expert, but I believe the early NES games were simply the japanese ROM chip, along with some converter, put in a new type of cartridge that work in a US NES.Mugenmidget wrote: And about the Famicom games, I remember some sort of article about finding converters inside REAL Nintendo games.

If you rip the game open, you can replace the ROM with the ROM of another japanese game, and it should play.
Should.
Simply getting a Famiclone would be the easy way out, and you won't have to worry about ruining your collection of rare games by opening it.

That sounds pretty darn accurate. I think I remember them saying that they were easiest to find in Gyromite (which is a game I wouldn't mind breaking open since I see it all the time.)Adamant wrote:Okay, I'm no expert, but I believe the early NES games were simply the japanese ROM chip, along with some converter, put in a new type of cartridge that work in a US NES.Mugenmidget wrote: And about the Famicom games, I remember some sort of article about finding converters inside REAL Nintendo games.

But easy way out wins the day.

Gimme.That's it I guess, because I don't peddle around the "copies" anymore. The only other ways to get my video game fix are "The Destruction is Real" and "Dragonball Z: Unstoppable Power." Both of course are fan games.
Here's my list:
Dragon Power (NES, USA)
Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22 (PS1, USA)
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai (PS2, USA)
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai (GC, USA)
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 (PS2, USA)
Several unfinished fan games, most of them by me
I want either the ROM or cartridge of the pirated SNES game "Dragon Ball Z: Final Bout", but can't find either.
Battle High 2, starring Kyle Hebert as well as myself, has been released on Xbox 360, OUYA, PC, Linux, Mac, and Xbox One!

Ugh...my game collection is rather pathetic.
Budokai (PS2 European version)
Budokai 2 (PS2 USA version)
I also have my eye on a copy of UB22 down at the local video store...I think they might sell the old beat-up copy soon.
Of course, it's not easy for me to get my hands on DBZ merchandise of an kind. I live in Australia.
