Connector Problem.

Post by Bibin »

Hi, I have a super joy fun game mech doom toaster game waffle joy stick fun time game fun game III NOAC, but I realised that unlike Mr. PirateMan said to me when I bought it at the mall, it is NOT a 72-pin connector but a 60-pin one.

Now, I know there are many adapters, but they all go straight outwards. Is there one that connects to the famicom port on the back, and will bend upwards at a 90-degree angle? I don't want to have that o-so-popular cart-perpendicular-to-the-back thing.

Also, I've seen the NES Micro's Floppy-drive IDE cable things being used as a cartridge port. I know they skip the middle pins since they are useless, but what is the correct spacing? Is it very hard to wire it to the famicom port?

From what I've seen, you might be stuck having to solder the 72-pin cartridge connector yourself if you want a 90 degree angle. Think about it - who else aside from us portable makers would need a 90 degree converter?

Does anybody know a good place to get 72 to 60 pin converters anyway? I'm only finding the 60 to 72 pin coverters everywhere.
