anyone have any experience with the twin famicom?
>>2842181
I own one. Bought it at Super Potato when I was in Tokyo.
Pretty much the best famicom console I own
(compared to an original Famicom or a famiclone)
Plus you get the built-in disk system.
Only downside, the controller cords are too damn short.

shorter than the original famicom?
>>2842227
Maybe 3 or 4 inches longer.
don't wanna bother making a thread, but does anyone know what kinda light gun this is? Found today at goodwill, haven't tried it out yet.
>>2842278
It's just a cheapo famiclone light gun.
>>2842278
99% sure that that's a NES connector. If you have a NES with Duck Hunt along with a CRT TV, you can try it out.
>>2842298
They're pretty much all the same.
Finding out the exact model is going to be a pain,
there's thousands of em.
Just type "famiclone light gun" on google,
you'll see what I mean.

Oh wow, I see. This thing doesn't even fit my working knockoff either, that sucks.

I have one, it works as expected really, it's a Famicom and Disk System in one. Solidly built, works well, just be mindful that you may have to replace the drive belt in the disk drive at some point.
I have the Turbo Twin Famicom pictured myself. It's great. The wires are longer than the original Famicom and standard Twin, and controller 2 contains a microphone, so you can use it in games like Zelda and Kid Icarus. You can also play NES games with an adapter.
It also has AV out, which is better than RF and probably necessary if you live in a PAL region. Unfortunately, it has the same vertical lines as the original Famicom and the NES toploader.
It's very important to get a unit that includes the power supply. The Twin Famicom uses a 7.6v power supply, and it can be hard to get a replacement. The only other system that uses that is the FamicomTitler (which was also made by Sharp).
Like the standard Famicom, there is an expansion port that you can connect an external controller to, such as the Hudson Joycard. I have an adapter that allows me to plug in two NES controllers myself, so I just use that. It's important to note that if you are interested in multiplayer, the only controller that works as controller 2 is the hardwired one, same as the original Famicom. Controller 2 also does not have Select or Start buttons, which can be a problem if playing some NES games with an adapter.
The sound is apparently muffled, although I've never had a problem with it myself. If you're technically minded, you can fix it with a mod. Games with expansion audio are balanced though, unlike the AV Famicom. Also, if you want to use FDSStick instead of disks (which you will have to for some games like the notoriously unreliable Castlevania 2 FDS) you'll have to buy a separate RAM adapter.
