Hey y'all. I just received a keyboard in the mail, from a eBay purchase. It's this sweet Famicom keyboard that came with Basic v. 1 cartridge.
Well it looks pretty cool! That's about all I can say about it, so far! Anybody own one of these, or can tell me something about these babies? I got it for $50 w/ shipping, which seemed like a reasonable price... Hopefully this isn't a heap of junk from someone's basement! lol
I don't own a Famicom 60 pin system or anything, so obviously I won't be able to use it. But I'm a die-hard Nintendo Fan, so I had to get this, and I'd like to write some stuff in Basic (like dem old school days as kid we used to use Basic on the Apple II e's) I want to either find a way to convert a regular NES to a 60 pin, and find some famicom controller ports that will fit in a nes. Would buying a used Famicom system be a better choice, than hacking up an old NES to get this keyboard to work? I though it would be fun if I could run it from a normal Nes somehow? Are there any expansion type ports for the NES, where you can make the nes play Famicom??? I'm real curious on what this keyboard is capable of doing, other than looking nice next to my other Nintendo Paraphernalia...
