I'm talking specifically Gannon's. How good is it playing NES games exactly.

Very, it really all depends on how accurate the FC or FC clone you're using it on is though.

For "talking specifically <person x>", there's a thing called private messages.

I have a couple of Family Converters and they work very well. The only complaint I have is that the cart slot in my NOAC is very very deep, so I had to cut off the screw mounts on the NES slot part of it.

I see, on a say cough*Super Joy 3*cough, what is it like. Also, I wanted to make this general, for all people to know, don't cha know?

Well, see, the thing is, the Super Joy 3 is a piece of crap. It varies amazingly from unit to unit as far as quality goes. So... I don't think anyone can give you a definitive answer. I don't think the Super Joy 3 plays some NES games *cough*like Castlevania 3*cough*.

I could be wrong though.

Some NOACs play 99% of stuff flawlessly though, and they're getting better (can you believe somewhere in China, someone is still working on this stuff?)

Since the question has risen, how good is it with a True Famicom?

It's fine. NES and Famicom hardware are identical, except for the lockout chip (which is simply disconnected on the Family Converter), and the pins for the expansion port which were never used. The Famicom's cart slot has two extra pins for audio in/out for added sound hardware on carts, but no NES game supported these (as the pins weren't there). So, it should play any NES game perfectly.
