My Arcade Cartridge Converter - Famicom to NES Game Cartridge Adapter - NES

Works perfectly and is a great design over the typical style with a ribbon pull cord. Fits in the front loader fine and is nice that it’s fool proofed, you can’t plug the 60 pin cartridge in backwards. However, that nice design means that only the short standard size cartridges will fit. Anything in a taller, nonstandard shell will not fit.

Easy to insert and the game fired right up. Played Battle City on it with no issues whatsoever.

It does what it says on the box: It plays Famicom games on an NES. Certainly works better than most others I've used in the past, and the design is far more convenient than the Hyperkin one.I mainly bought this to play those odd, rare 60 pin bootleg games that were sold in China, Russia, South America, etc. They played much better through this converter than on an actual Dendy/Pegasus/Lifa or any other no-name Famiclone. However, I do NOT recommend playing those kinds of cartridges using this converter for an extended period of time! I had to buy a second one recently after one of my 4 in 1 carts from Ukraine started getting very warm after playing it for (I think) over an hour and then the screen started blinking. Made sure it wasn't just the NES toaster's pin connectors rejecting the converter, and thankfully that wasn't the case. I think something on the converter got damaged by the excessive heat, but I didn't have the patience to crack it open and I couldn't get a refund since I've owned it for a couple years. The replacement works great, but I don't intend to plug in that 4 in 1 cartridge anytime soon ;)So to make a long story short, this converter is great for playing official Famicom cartridges that aren't too tall and don't have expanded audio. But for bootleg 60 pin cartridges, please use caution.

Had an old famicom pirate cart from back in the day lying around so I bought this to make it work on my original nes. Works perfectly

Can be tricky to get carts in and out sometimes. Maybe get one for each cart so you don't have to switch?

I originally purchased a Hyperkin Famicom to NES adapter but it was very inconsistent getting it to play Famicom carts on my front loading NES. It fit the system, but would only play a game cartridge after fiddling and adjusting the Hyperkin adapter slightly in the system. The Hyperkin 60 to 72 pin adapter was a lot of work to get a game to play and if you swapped Famicom carts, you'd have to work to get the next game to play.I got tired of that adapter the same day I received it and ordered this My Arcade Cartridge Converter. This one is a huge leap in quality. It feels like solid plastic, the games fit it it pretty well, it sits like a normal game in the system, and best of all every Famicom cart played the first time I tried it. The Hyperkin garbage is going back to Amazon.The only negatives I have about this are:-Longer Famicom carts will not fit in the My Arcade Cartridge Converter. (Splatterhouse Wanpaku, Pizza Pop, Jajamaru Daisakusen, and a few others.)-Famicom carts are a little loose sitting in the adapter.The fact this is functional far outweighs most of the negatives.-Games load right up like a normal NES cartridge.-Fits perfectly in a toaster/front loading NES. No putting your fingers in the slot to line up the adapter.-Famicom carts go face up in the adapter so you can easily tell the game in the system.If you are looking for a Famicom 60 pin to 72 pin adapter for your NES, I highly recommend trying the My Arcade Cartridge Converter.-Update-A few weeks later I have received a couple more Famicom carts from Japan. Those all played perfectly as well. If you are looking for a cheap and fun Famicom cart, I highly recommend Youkai Douchuuki.

The adapter does work. Famicom games tightly slide in and they play on my 2 in 1 console as a result. The clearances though are very small (especially when using one of the Bandai Famicom games that are ever so slightly bigger).I'm not a fan of the noise it makes when installing or removing a game, it doesn't sound like one of the fiberglass/plastic items (either this adapter or the game itself) is having a great time when being plugged in or removed.With that said I might just being overly worried since I can't just pop down to the corner store and pick up new copies of these games. The device works and I'm able to play on it, just have long term concerns.

I wasn't sure if this would be worth the money or not, but I am very pleased! Famicom games slide right in and then you pop it in your NES like a normal game. I am using it on a toploader NES and haven't had any issues at all.
