Now, before people start saying, "Wait a sec...the PS2 lasted from 2000 to 2013, and the Atari 2600 lasted from 1977 to 1992. How can the Famicom be the longest-lived system of any generation when the NES was discontinued in 1995?", please note that the Famicom lasted until 2003 in its native country of Japan, even though its last game was released in 1994.
Question, would it be okay to use a USA Sega Master System model 1 AC adapter with the Famicom? I tried the adapter with a Sega Genesis model 1 and it does work.
We actually recommend that very thing in this video: ua-cam.com/video/36J_Ejnv2qc/v-deo.html Today there are cheaper (or at least more common) options available, but it should be perfectly safe.
Do any Famicom games have functions for Start and Select on Player 2? And does this maybe explain why only Player 1 can pause in many games, even in the US?
In Mega Man 3 you can do a trick with the P2 start button, which come to think of it may have been a debug trick since the Famicom doesn't have those buttons, and the NES (and possibly a dev kit) does.
That's Orange Save in Zelda is Up+A or something? So that's not under that category. Now to find a list of NES games that use the 2-Player Start or Select.
DC adapters work on US NES's both Classic toasters and the NES2. Also use the same one for my super famicom. Having enough current is the best way to prevent a fire though. Its ok if you have a DC adapter with more current than required but if you have too little it can cause the adapter to get really hot and or start a fire. Also always make sure you have the proper voltage and polarity.
Good to see the Dojo coming back... but you missed an opportunity for redemption to include the voice option in Kid Icarus that you cut out of Microphone Roundup.
Why did no cart based console after the Famicom, allow any company to use their own cart molds on official titles outside of EA Genesis titles or certain colored carts?
Orion Ake Nintendo allowed companies to make their own carts in the Famicom days. The NES not so much. The practice was probably just standardized across continents when the Super Famicom came out.
AS said here, Do NOT use a NES power supply on a Famicom... because the polarity is reversed and you WILL fry your console! However, you CAN use a Sega Genesis Model ONE power supply (NOT the Model 2, 3, Nomad, or 32X one) and it will also work on your PC Engine Core Grafx... you DO have one of those, right?
Totes. But it was the first one that used cartridges, hence the careful wording in the video. (And if you want to get super technical, there were five of them, and none of them played pong, but a knock-off called Light Tennis.)
Sure is 2007 around here!
懐かしいね~

Yeah, pretty much where we were going with that. ;)
July 15th 2019 marks the 36th Anniversary for the Family Computer
I'm sure glad Scatman Crothers returned from the dead to review Nintendo systems.

The Famicom is now officially 40 years old.
Vinnk and Sean are also (over) 40. 😂
@FamicomDojo I wonder if it counts that me and the Nintendo TV Game(Pong clone) was made in my birth year 1977 😁😁😁😁
@jescis It sure does!
@FamicomDojo did I say something wrong or was it UA-cam that deleted my comment?? Is there any other way to say what I said somewhere else??

I have a question about the AC adaptor. For the AV Famicom, are we allowed to use the AC adaptor from Famicom HVC-001 model to AV Famicom? Thank you.
The Famicom, AV Famicom, and Super Famicom all use the same power adapter.
+That's Orange thank you for your help!
came here to ask this
Remixed and remastered. Love it, guys!
Good to see the Dojo coming back... but you missed an opportunity for redemption to include the voice option in Kid Icarus that you cut out of Microphone Roundup.
Ahh, hmm... We'll work on that. There's something else about Kid Icarus I wanted to hit first.
The Master System can still be purchased in Brazil...
It's made under license, not quite the same as Sega manufacturing them. Also, the Zilog Z80 is still in production, which makes that possible.
Woah i should get one

does the model 1 genesis adapter work on the AV famicom too?
Indeed it does! Super Famicom as well.
Really good review.
Are the games for the hvc-022 the same? And if so, what do they cost on the net?
But for the famicom if I want to search the signal I live in Europe i don't use ntsc but pal how to get the signal you forgot about that
Hey Sean how do the plug in controllers work.
legostar55 We are literally working on that! ;)

Is that Jazz?
His voice is more gravelly. And he’s WAY cooler.
Zoo237 - His voice is Jazz, that's 4 sure
The actual family computer is a Macintosh (but Nintendo did great
NotSoGoodGamer18 What do you mean?
Amazing 😮
LOL why do you sound like someone off of Sanford & Son?
famicom av uses same power supply as original famicom????
You sound like Christopher Walken
You... should play... the Fammi... COM.
I need a famicom
What accent is this ?
Consoles can’t talk!
Not to be confused with FamiCon, which is illegal in 47 states.
xnamkcor X what is that?
emptyspotlight "Con" is short for "Complex", and "Fami" is short for "Family".
tl;dr Incest
HAHAHA, oh man...
The longest living consoles are actually from SEGA - Master System (1985) and Mega Drive (1988) - both still goin'.
Well, by that metric new NES and Famicom games are still being made all the time. We were referencing the official support lifetime.
@@FamicomDojo SEGA consoles are officially supported unlike Nintendo's.
The fam com was not Nintendo first game console Nintendo's first video game console was a pong machine
