i am so glad that also the younger people still appreciate the retro consoles and games. Or better said: The younger people also see Famicom / NES as retro and not only PS2 / Xbox / gamecube :) Love your channel, great shirt and love the leggings haha :)
Love your content, very inspirational. You make this stuff look so easy, make me itch to try my hand at hardware stuff, even though I'm a software guy with zero knowledge of this. :) Looking forward to seeing more of your content first
I enjoy your videos they bring me back to my childhood. My cousins in Hong Kong had that version while I had the US version since I live in NY. They also had these rom ripping units that could copy roms to a floppy disk. When I got my N64 in 95 I eventually got a Z64 which could copy or load games from a a Zip disk. I still have it actually.
Your videos are such a pressure to watch, you keep it at the right level of technical and simple at the same time. Also the way you speak it shows that you have so much passion for this material. ❤
It takes a truly special gift to make videos like this and keep them concise! These types of "Mods/Fixing" videos can SO EASILY stretch over 45 minutes to an hour. Man, as an American NTSC lad that's never known anything different, (Never even owned anything capable of PAL) we really got screwed on a lot of releases and possibilities. With the recent resurgence in Sega Saturn popularity in the last couple of years, going down the Saturn rabbit hole revealed to me that HOLY CRAP! WE MISSED OUT ON THE BEST CONSOLE OF THE 90s! SO MUCH CONTENT THAT DIDN'T RELEASE HERE. The white/red Famicom is SO MUCH MORE AESTHETIC (and smol?) than what we got, and all the games that were never translated!
I bought a thing that acted like a memory pack and let you play Japanese games on my Saturn but it didn't freakin work. I contacted the seller and they said they'd replace but I never did it. Still have the whole thing in my closet (no controllers or chords) but yeah.. thinking about selling it, I assume it still works as it hasn't been left outside or anything.
I'm from Argentina and we have the same standard than Japan, they used to fabricate the Famicoms, Coleco vision and atari here. I've tried NTSC consoles and footage a while ago once I traveled to the USA, the image quality is way different I must say. Its like comparing film vs a video game at 120fps hahaha
@@DaftRebel Mate, you South Americans got a TRULY unique look at consoles for the span of 20 years or so! One of my favorite games for the SNES was Top Gear, and I had no idea what a fanbase in Brazil there was for the game
Don't suck the Euro taint too hard. We got some of the best of the best while euro ate it. Also, don't be a moron, it's easier to mod this Famicom to US NTSC than forcing it into PAL. Also, emulation. Like do some freaking google searches before full on all caps yelling at Kari telling her things you really have no idea about. I'm disappointed in you as an another American. Sorry, y'all. This younger generation are not very good at patience, and obviously doing their own research. If you're on the internet so long, what are you doing, little one?
Yet again you come up trumps with a great video Kari. Everything explained in a clear no nonsense way that's easy to follow. You've now persuaded me to get a Famicom and have a go! Thank you.
Well done! I have an RGB modded AV Famicom and the picture is pretty much perfect. One of my favorite games is Summer Carnival '92: Recca, which was only released for the Famicom and not the NES. It's one of the first bullet hell shooters, has incredible music and graphics for the system. Give it a try, if you have a flash cart or buy a repro. The original is too expensive.
@@afriend9428 I solved this for me by buying a flash cartridge. The Japanese version of Contra is indeed superior to the NTSC one, with more animations and cutscenes. Castlevania I plan to play one day :)
I picked up the Sharp Twin Famicom for the integrated disc drive and run the Composite through an OSSC. Been toying with getting the OG Famicom to use the basic programming so I appreciate showing how simple this mod is. For games, I like the Famicom version of Splatterhouse, and getting ROM hacks of games like Castlevania from Ali Express.
This video jumped into my suggested and I'm glad it did, bring back some nice childhood memories, Famicom is my 2nd consol after I broke my ATARI, where I'm from we had the Famicom and not Nintendo, but they used to come with mini antenna for RF transmit to use it wireless with TV and then tune the TV manually to channel, Thanks for the video.
One of my very favorite things about the Famicom vs the NES is just how great some of the games themselves look. I bought a copy of Takahashi Meijin no Bugutte Honey at a local game store because it A. Had the guy from Adventure Island on the great artwork B. Was a wonderful bubblegum pink plastic. It's just so much more appealing than the giant grey carts we got over here in the states.
Nice. I may add one of these famicoms to my collection. Old gamer tip: if you wanna listen to NES games in "stereo", you can buy a Y adapter for RGB cords. Split the signal so the audio goes into both speakers
I have a Brachydactyly type D thumb as well! We had to got friends houses to play NES, my mom said our computer was good enough. Followed by buying Famiclone with "2600-in-1" roms preloaded as an adult.
Couldn't have done it better my self👍🏻✨️there are so many awesome famicom games out there a few of my favorites are rockman, contra, Duck tales, Splatterhouse wanpaku graffiti, etc. ❤❤❤
just found you today & already watched 3 of your vids from my feed because they were actually unique & interesting, something hard to come by today. Kudos on a brilliant channel.
Thanks for this great video! Just picked up a famicom in Tokyo and this will help me get it working in Australia! Until I mod it again with a fresh Opentendo motherboard!
My favorite Famicon games is actually the last game made for it in 1994: Hudson's Adventure Island IV, and it was never released for the NES. I live in a South American country and here we had cheap knockoffs of the Famicom, and in the year 1998, my uncle gave me that cartridge for my birthday. Love that game to death
Didn't know there would be soldering involved! In South Africa we did not have problems with the video display. Our favourite games were Mario Brothers, Islander, Ice Climber and Contra.
Really enjoying your videos and that they are proper retro especially with the programming ones. Also jealous of your workshop, any chance of a video tour?
Great quality and pacing , informative and inspiring! Desoldering gun works better for me if I add some new flux-core solder to the old solder first Cleaning the desoldering gun is always a struggle for me too!
I'm never going to do a project like this but its still very cool to watch and learn just the same. Thanks a bunch, looking foward to many more - Cheers from Alabama
Haha we're all guilty of buying some projects and mods to do "one day". Glad you're getting through them, it's a good feeling. Those desoldering guns sure are a blessing and a curse. I have switched to adding fresh solder then using short lengths of solder braid. The fresh solder helps melt the old stuff. The short length helps keep the heat targeted, if you leave it long then the heat goes back up the roll.
I am literally shocked by fact, that woman knows more (in terms of retro gaming) than my all friends combined... :D It is a good thing in retro community, because computers usually are associated with mens. You're breaking that barrier! Greetz from Poland!
I had a Hakko 808 desoldering gun that would block up every time I needed it most, even with regular cleaning and filter replacement. In the end, I got the same gun you have, and even though it's cheaper, is so far more reliable. And my old Hakko tips fit it. Good tools don't replace skill, but they certainly help. I reached 50 before my eyes failed, and now I can't do anything without optical enhancements (digital microscope is a must for modern consoles).
Lately I find myself grinning from ear to ear when ever a new Kari vid shows up in my feed! =) Really loving the pace of your videos and your lovely demeanor on screen!
I have the same desoldering gun, I love it, but it does have its quirks. If you haven't already, I recommend upgrading the pump filters on both the gun and on the unit. Also install a step down voltage converter to have the fan and vacuum pump actually run closer to the 12V that they're rated for. This unit comes stock outputting 18V for the 12V fan and 12V pump, which will have a short life if used regularly.
I grew up in Hong Kong in the 80s and my mate and I had a thing going. I got all things SEGA and him, Nintendo. Great times. He also had the Disc Doctor. Might be worth looking into. Meant he could buy games cheaply. Remember going into shops and just having bin bags of discs handed to us. Each game was around HK$8-10 which at the time was less than a pound I moved to Scotland about a year before the Super Famicon came over with the same form, but different name. Everyone was so jealous.
I don't have anything to contribute to the conversation. Just want to say thank you for the neat video! edit: Crystalis is great! I'm replaying it with the character sprite swapped out for Simea using the Crystalis randomizer web site.
Wish these swap in boards existed when I AV modded mine and did irreversible modification to the shell. This is definitely the way to go if you want a clear picture without the jailbar effect. I might have to get another Famicom
Nice mod work and well done on the games! We hope to see more about those games. Pick your ten favorites, and let's see some game play? All good wishes.
I have the same desoldering gun and I know exactly what you’re talking about. Hard to open and a bit of a pain to clean. Beats hand pumps and desoldering braids though. Btw it helps if you hold the board vertical, so the gun barrel is horizontal. That way, there’s less chance of loose solder that is in the glass tube falling back in the barrel and block it.
Super interesting. My favorite video yet. I have wanted a famicon for a while but I already have a NES. I have a cool adapter for my SNES that lets me play Japanese games on that. I live in Lewes (Near Brighton) and so many retro game shops have shut down. Gotta hit the car boots soon! Keep up the uploads Kari. Your channel has grown fast :)
Nice one kiddo, keep up. It's great to see youngsters appreciate the old stuff we used to use to the limit back in the day. Just a small piece of advice. Don't move your hands so much when you talk, it doesn't write well on the camera. Thanks for the memories. Stay safe.
Really great video 😀👍 I was a little shocked that the Famicom only had RF output. But the game library is still much better compared to the NES😁 Sega was so far ahead with RGB for the Sega Master System.
Yes, you should use the reaming tool that comes with the desoldering gun to clean out the barrel when you are done and the gun is still hot. Hopefully will keep it from clogging up in future. Tetris 2 is one of my favorites too .. if you like that one also try Warios Woods.
I think my favorite game was Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari (River City Ransom on NES) - it had pretty advanced mix of beat-em-up and RPG elements in it and caught me completely off guard when I first tried it after playing loads of games released in the early 80s. Famicom vs Famicon 4:8.
I've been hunting for this exact thing, cheers. My TV supports NTSC, but not through RF. At best I can get an image, but completely garbled audio. Good to see clear instructions.
Hey Kari, I hope you'll do a workshop tour one day. I'm presuming that you're in a converted garage/shed? It looks very retro-ish, like we did, back in the 1980s. Keep up the great content.
Great video, Kari! You make these mods look easy. Maybe i try to fire up my iron too one day for the right project (I am thinking about to rebuilt a small retro computer). Keep up your great work!
It's a nice mod. Gives AV out with colour to Pal TV's but it does have a slight hum to its sound output. RetroGameRestore has a whole modern replacement motherboard and power board. Transfer the CPU and PPU in from the old Mobo and your set. It has a slightly less noisier output. But ultimately an RGB Mod is the way to go for a much cleaner and sharper output.
There's a few out there these days, a bunch showed up on my 'recommended' vids after watching of one of her earlier vids.. always nice to see women doing traditionally male dominated hobbies and crafts.
To explain why it is called Famicom, modules such as CPUs and RAM used in PCs were not unified in size in the past, and even Intel was before it took over the market, so it was developed based on PCs during the days when CPU manufacturers were rampant. To be exact, it was a CPU that was also adopted by Apple I, Apple II, Commodore 64, and Atari 2600, and Sega's SG-1000 series was also developed in this way. Game makers at the time changed the format so that only gaming functions could be used on PCs, and FAMICOM was called "Famicom" as the naming idea for Wife of Masayuki Uemura, which led the development of Nintendo's FAMICOM, as was the name of the company's development at the time. It was also the brand name of Sharp Electronics' microwave at the time, but by mutual agreement, Nintendo's "Famicom" was released in 1983 and eventually released as a Nintendo Entertainment System in North America and Europe two years later.
You don't really need to apologise for the extractor fan... it's barely audible. 😅 I have to admit though, I'm jealous of all your tools! The de-solderer is great, but I really love the rubber mat you have, with the screw dishes and rulers. 😍
I love playing the Rockman series, but Robocco Wars is one of my favourite famicom exclusives. The Japanese version of Akumajou Densetsu also has a much better soundtrack than the version released in the west because of a special chip on the cartridge for extra audio channels :)
This video got me thinking of modding a Nintendo Kuzushi tv game unit to work on a PAL tv. There seem to be quite a few of Kuzushis for sale, but I haven't gotten around buying one, since they're all NTSC. My understanding is that it should, however, be possible to mod a Kuzushi to get composite output (and then use an external NTSC to PAL converter if needed).
Great video. I haven't done this mod and worried through the moment of truth that you may have the ribbon cable backwards when observing a black wire on the ribbon cable going to pin 7 on silkscreen. Usually the colored edge on ribbon cable is pin 1. Looks like it was correct and was relieved :) Enjoying your content :)

To be exact, it was a CPU that was also adopted by Apple I, Apple II, Commodore 64, and Atari 2600, and Sega's SG-1000 series was also developed in this way. Game makers at the time changed the format so that only gaming functions could be used on PCs, and FAMICOM was called "Famicom" as the naming idea for Wife of Masayuki Uemura, which led the development of Nintendo's FAMICOM, as was the name of the company's development at the time. It was also the brand name of Sharp Electronics' microwave at the time, but by mutual agreement, Nintendo's "Famicom" was released in 1983 and eventually released as a Nintendo Entertainment System in North America and Europe two years later.
Love the Neverending Story shirt !
Cool video! 👍 Keep up the good work. (Love the Disney CRT)
You don't really need to apologise for the extractor fan... it's barely audible. 😅 I have to admit though, I'm jealous of all your tools! The de-solderer is great, but I really love the rubber mat you have, with the screw dishes and rulers. 😍
I love playing the Rockman series, but Robocco Wars is one of my favourite famicom exclusives. The Japanese version of Akumajou Densetsu also has a much better soundtrack than the version released in the west because of a special chip on the cartridge for extra audio channels :)
Yay, another video!
Great video.
I wish I kept a CRT for retro use
Great video, this channel will blow up 🔥
And other things 😂
Great video! Recommend Famicom games: Gradius II, Splatterhouse Wanpaku Graffiti, Akumajou Special Boku Dracula-kun, Attack Animal Gakuen
I loved the mod, keep up the great work
Awesome video mate and I love the t-shirt 😂😂😂
I can't get over how awesome this girl is.
Kari is amazing and I wish you 1000 videos!
This video got me thinking of modding a Nintendo Kuzushi tv game unit to work on a PAL tv. There seem to be quite a few of Kuzushis for sale, but I haven't gotten around buying one, since they're all NTSC. My understanding is that it should, however, be possible to mod a Kuzushi to get composite output (and then use an external NTSC to PAL converter if needed).
Great video. I haven't done this mod and worried through the moment of truth that you may have the ribbon cable backwards when observing a black wire on the ribbon cable going to pin 7 on silkscreen. Usually the colored edge on ribbon cable is pin 1. Looks like it was correct and was relieved :) Enjoying your content :)
Yea, the silkscreen is a little confusing. The number 1 and 7 are referring to the key on the board rather than the direction of the cable.👍
