Gyromite Famicom Converter.

Hi guys, I recently found out about something amazing. Maybe it is common knowledge, if so, sorry.
It turns out Nintendo got lazy a while back when making Gyromite carts, and got the Famicom chips of Robot Gyro, hooked them up to a removable 60 pin to 72 pin converter. This makes it possible to play Famicom games on the NES.

With outsides.

Compared to no converter games.

Apparently this also happened with the games:

1942
Clu Clu Land
Donkey Kong Jr.
Duck Hunt
Elevator Action
Excitebike
Golf
Gumshoe
Gyromite
Hogan’s Alley
Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!!
Pinball
Raid on Bungeling Bay
Rygar
Soccer
Stack Up
Tennis
Urban Champion
Wizards and Warriors
Wrecking Crew


I found that these were priced $25-60 generally, and they will probably get more pricey as time progresses.


Just a cool tip. :D
 
Yea this has been common knowledge for almost 15 years :)

Also not everyone of those carts have the converter in it. Most of the time only about1 in 10 or 1 in 20 have them.

The ones that have them are of course quite a bit heavier.
