[kevbomac05]

so i just found my nes and i have all the cables except the a c adapter do i need to get a specific one or can i use any

 

[ciper]

The original one is 9 volts ac meaning any adapter will work either DC or AC assuming it can supply enough power.

 

[MysticGohan]

if its more then 9v wont it fry the thing? because sending more power then it need/ handle.

 

[ciper]

I should have clarified

"The original one is 9 volts ac meaning any adapter will work either 9vDC or 9vAC assuming it can supply enough milliamps."

i wasnt around in the nes day i have never played one except the virtual console games...is there even a slight diffrence between the 2??(othern then the obviouse reason that ones is on a retro console and one is on the wii)!!!!!

 

[ciper]

The biggest difference is the controller.
Second is that you don't have to blow on your virtual console games to get them working ......

 

[gamerdude247]

how old is it? it should work with anything

 

[My god the Wii owns...]

In my opinion, on the original system is way more fun. The controller is awesome, and it just feels more... retro.

 

[zaijin]

ok chhers for the advice...i might buy and old one nes off ebay or something???

 

[ciper]

Shouldn't be hard to find. If you buy one I suggest getting a rewritable cartridge to save the roms on.

If you like joysticks try and get a "NES Advantage"

 

[DBloke]

Yes go forth and get one of Ebay (make sure it has loads of games)

Then smell the retro goodness

Why no rewritable rom cart like this http://ameba.lpt.fi/~hataarto/nes/

 

[DBloke]

Because its illegal For sees the next post beening allong the lines of who cares
And what about games like Zelda with battery back up

 

[ciper]

Battery backup games work fine with it.

Edit: Wow I just found adapters that let you use Playstation controllers on the NES SNES and Genesis!

Zaijin: How about a Game Axe or PokeFami instead?
