Famiclone light gun to nes

Post by iX NES Xi »

I was reading a topic where someone asked if it was able to use a Nes Control to a Famiclone then I thought of a famiclone light gun I have and I wanted to know if it is possible to use the Famiclone light gun on the Nes

Are you using a famiclone? If so then you can just connect it to the corresponding spots on the board. I know there is red, yellow, brown, and blue on the famiclone board. These points are diffrent for each model famiclone, but if you have the Power Player Super Mega Joy 3 you can use G-force's pinout.

Oh, I see. I seem to have misunderstood you before, but now I'm on board. What I think you need to do is get an NES controller, and cut off the end (with a little bit of wire so you can work with it). Then connect the wires from the gun to the wires in the plug. It should be red to PIN 2, blue to PIN 6, brown to PIN1, and yellow to PIN4. This should work, but I could be wrong.

They all line up except for blue, which you can shove into the right hole on the plug.

I'm betting that if the other colors match, that BLue hooks up to white. I want to say that is the main voltage line, but I'm not sure...

If you could get a good high resolution picture of the light gun's board(with wires attached), it would be easier to determine what wire was what.
