Video Game "Look what I found"

[Hobie-wan]

i always wondered what the port was for, do NES games have a smaller board or something? i've never actually seen a famicom cart.

Look at the Gyromite adapter guide. That smaller board at the top of the left above the black adapter plug is a Famicom cart board. This page shows a Famicom shell next to a US one. Here's the adapter I made from a Gyromite cart with a Famicom cart stuck in it.

Does anyone know if the carts with the adapters were ever shipped in PAL zones (or was it changed to the single PCB by then)?

Probably not. The reason for the adapters is that there was going to be a shortage on launch games in the US for Christmas if they didn't do something. Making the adapers was faster/cheaper than making the data chips. Since the PAL world didn't get the system until the next year, they had probably sorted that out by then.

This was what I was thinking. It would still most likely be cheaper to get someone here on RB to purchase and send me a copy of Gyro, than to buy one of those expensive honeybee adapters.

I've heard that Target had an exclusive red GBA but I never saw it before (or knew that it said target on it) That's pretty awesome, I wonder how much it goes for.
