The Family Computer has arrived!!!

[HigashiJun]

And indeed it is fitting that I have a console that came from Japan with parts for it coming from Amazon Japan :)

I have to say shipping times from Japan are fantastic :)

Yup, a perfect match !

I'm really impatient to see the result on your console.

And yes, Japan Post and private courier companies do still know what "work" means... ;)

Me too!!! If it doesn't work I do have a backup plan, but it really looks like it'll do the job. My SD cart even works with it using the adapter I got from Ali Express when I was testing :)

Fingers crossed it'll be here Friday so it'll be done this weekend, in the meantime I need to finish cleaning the case, the top half still looks a bit grubby.

And it is good to know that some companies still have some pride in what they do.

@HigashiJun

BTW I have already cleaned both controllers and they work just fine, though one does need a new set of rubber inserts, it does work OK.

I've yet to test the second controller but it looks hardly used so I think it'll be OK.

Lol, I saw this as well, too late to add it to my order though.

And the parts have just left Osaka :)

I managed to find the joypad rubbers on Ali Express, so those are on order now too :)

I have a NES SD card cartridge, I was testing the Famicom with it the other day, Castlevania and some others, works great but does require a 72-60 pin adapter. I do have one original game though, Lode Runner and it's great too :)

[rubber_jonnie]

Woo hoo, my parts for the Famicom from Amazon Japan are out for delivery a day early :) That's pretty impressive for something I ordered on Monday!!!
