That was only in a cretin nes game ( robs stack up ? ) you can just buy a 60 to 72 pin converter.

I don't get why people keep buying these terrible pieces of crap. They use some of the worst FOACs on the market and their construction is miserably poor. The audio is notoriously horrible, and even the controls are faulty. It's not difficult at all to condense the design down to that size to use in a portable anyway, with a standard 2 or 3 PCB Famicom clone. The AV and Controller boards have very little actual hardware on them and most of it can just be relocated.

Frankly, I cant tell the difference between that and the orignial. How can you really tell that the audio and video quality is bad? Its and 8-bit system for Pete's sake! Its going to be displayed opn a 2.5 - 5 inch screen, which makes it not as noticeable. Presonally, I like them because of the built in games, and decent price. And with these you dont have to mess with the other two boads and the dirty work is already done for you (pinout-wise, that is.)

Anyways, as gamemasterAS already said, a 60 to 72 pin converter will do. They are also know as "family converters."
