What's THE best way to play NES/Famicom?
A modded AV NES-101 or an AV Famicom with converter?

Retron 5, my wives love it
I snipped the lockout chip on my front loader and got pic related on eBay for about 20 bucks. Works like a charm.
Famicom Titler. For those who don't want to spend €1000+, the AV Famicom or Turbo Twin Famicom.

What is "The Retron 5"?

I'll finish out the category with "Things my wife loves" for 1000

Emulator, with PC monitor CRT and sharp-bilinear shader. All the benefits of a CRT with no ugly scanlines or blur, and no annoying 15kHz buzzing sound.

The NES doesn't have the sound expansion port that the FC has. If you play something like Akumajou Densetsu on the NES, some of the sounds will be muted. Also, the FCD won't work on the NES, even on a top loader.
Hi! I'm a mormon, and I have 6 wives and they all play the Retron 5 with me!

Or you know you could just play an NES. Literally who fucking cares?

Clearly I do, that's why I asked.

Sitting in front of a crt on the living room floor with a family member or a friend.

There is literally no reason to go with an NES over a Famicom... the sound is better on some games, you can play disk system games and you can play weird bootleg stuff without a problem. All you need is an NES to Famicom converter if you want .

You need a separate disk system right, the twin famicom sucks right, what is the highest tier converter if you're gonna be using it heavy

I care. Why do you have an issue with people wanting to get the most out of their systems?
>>2911442
This by far.
I normally prefer to keep original hardware around, but for NES, I'll say emulation. The hardware is aging and it's going to be difficult to keep it in the pristine, fully working condition I want, so I've decided to let my collection go on eBay and emulate instead.
Plus I never cared for the blurry, artifacted composite + CRT look of 8-bit games. Emulation provides a pixel perfect image.

are you me ?

I know it's your opinion but I strongly disagree.
The Famicom is a fucking tank and is going to outlast all of us here.

See them strewn before and hear the lamentations of their women.

amen, I've bought so many shitty famicoms for dirt cheap online and they always, always work. The only thing you can do to fuck them up is use the wrong PSU.
>>2913803
Don't the Famicoms suffer from the same degrading plastic issues the nes/snes do?
>>2911525
>not the original Famicom

The AV is superior in every single way except it doesn't have the shitty microphone on P2 that was used in maybe 5 games (and in Zelda if it detects no mic you can shoot them with arrows like on the NES).

Also pressing select on controller 2 is the same as shouting in the mic.

What do you mean by degrading? They don't get brittle if that's what you're saying. They do get yellow, but what doesn't.
