yeh there was a mic bulit into some fimicom comtrollers the onley use i know of is with the JAP The Legend of Zelda, you could make a noise to kill a sertain monster I dont think it was relly used for meny games at all but it should be possiple to convert it to NES for use with famicom games that support it in the nes

HI
ithougt it was in the console but if its in the controller it could be a solution to my question why the famicom controllers have two more pins
do you have a plan of a controller with mic

Yes, it is in the controller.

Here's a pencase that looks like the Famicom controller with the Mic

It would be good to use with a family converter and the mod that allows you to use an FDS with the NES

It's not in the console, it is optional/in the controller. You could have a Mic, or if you didn't want one, you could buy a controller without a Mic. Discussion over.

you do realise the origal model famicom had ist controllers HARDWIRED into the console itsself with no controller ports and im pretty shure that is the onley one that had the mic

If they are hard wired I won't be abel to get one but there must be schematics somewhere

Peppers: You do realize you're wrong, right? There IS one controller port on the Famicom. How do you think Zapper games worked? And ROB the Robot is out here too.
So it is quite possible that it was an optional controller. End of discussion

The Mic was Built into the second controller which is hardwired to the system.
