    Sharp Twin Famicom is my preferred way to play. I've got the one with the turbo buttons.
    Honestly I could probably live with an fdsstick, ram adapter, and an original Famicom, but its fun to use and preserve the real disks.
    Edit: I just got to the part you mentioned the fdsstick. I should have known that was coming. I think we're on the same page when it comes to that kind of thing.

      You could always put lock tight on the spindle fastening screw. And let it sit for about 24 hours. That should keep it from loosening overtime.

    So question! I own a Sharp Twin Famicom and just ordered an Everdrive N8, Family Basic Keyboard, Ram Adapter, and an FDStick.. however I do not have the Family Basic cartridge that originally came with the keyboard.. do you happen to know if it's possible to emulate Family Basic via the Everdrive or FDStick or if this is something you could try testing out? The main reason I ask is because I know the Family Basic cart oddly requires batteries and while it's possible to emulate it on pc emulators, I have no idea how that would effect emulation on actual hardware. Thank you!

    Does that cable on the controller get in the way? Because it's on the side instead of the top, I'd imagine it's be a bother

    • @Madlittlepixel
      @Madlittlepixel  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's odd if used to a more normal orientation. I guess you can get used to it, I can play just fine with it but I guess they did it this way including on the original famicom so the controllers can sit in a tray on the console neatly.

    11:40 I'm not exactly sure but I think the audio without the ram expansion pack has something to do with old capacitors. I've read recapping the twin fixes the lower quality audio. I think had you loaded an actual Zelda disk without a ram cart you'd get the same degraded audio as the N8.

    I always gotta keep my eyes peeled for a Twin Famicom,Since in my humble it's the most bang for your buck interms of a famicom. I remember Classic Game Room reviewing it ages ago. That way you don't have to track a disk system and a famicom and it's all together.
