  • Does that mean I can put in another Famicom game (Like Mother) Into the gyromite cart and play it on an NES?

  • @mjkl131 Yes, with an adapter. Although any cartidges that have a built-in sound expansion will not have sound, since those pins are not used in the NES cartridge slot.

  • Oh god I hope you've stopped wearing that facial hairstyle, you looked like Tom Green and Dave Grohl had a child in Hugh Laurie's living room.

  • @crazedgunmanvideo I have. I'll even send you a video of what spurred the change! ;)

  • @SeanOrange solved with a 100 kiloohm resistor and a 1uF or higher non-polarized capacitor connecting pin 46 (famicom) to pin 18 (NES), and then jumping pins 40 and 3 with a wire in the expansion port.

  • Great info

  • Not Dave Grohl... Andrew W. K.

  • @therealhardrock 5:00 because those pins were used for the expansion port on the bottom of the nes but there was no expansion for the nes so those pins were reomoved
