Denshimail for 2009/03/23.

This week we talk about why the Famicom Disk System is able to use six AA batteries, and whether or not the battery tray is a viable solution for your gaming needs. Also — an "experiment".

I believe I heard that season 2 was to start in 2009, what happened?

[SeanOrange]

It started with the first Denshimail (the one right before this one). But I know people want to see regular episodes. We released a special, and the next episode is coming up soon!

[Tubewings]

Just for the record, the batteries would usually last about five months on the Famicom Disk System. A whole lot longer than two hours.

[SeanOrange]

Wow, that's 3600 hours! TAKE THAT, iPhone!

Thanks for the tip.

[famicomdork]

Was that a black disk system that Vinnk was using? Or was it just the lighting in his room...?

[SeanOrange]

Just the lighting.

[ZueriHB]

@SeanOrange Have mine running since three years with the same batteries (no leakage yet).

f1 race was my first famicom game

So you can just put the disk in, switch the sides, and then just take it out entirely and play normally?

Pretty neat.
