@8bitbros 3 месяца назад

Great video. Love my Twin Famicom. Also love that they labeled everything on the bottom of the board too. The 8k2 to 2k2 resistor swap on the audio board puts the volume up to the same level as the Famicom and NES. Not sure if you did that too but that was also a “mistake” from the factory.

@ScruffyLookinRGB 3 месяца назад

Yes they are awesome aren't they. Thanks for the info I was looking to swap out that resistor but it looks like it doesn't have that issue on my board revision.

Awesome video. I had no idea about the audio problem!! I will definitely be fixing mine now. Thank you! I used to replace bands and had some sort of hack, but that was years ago and sadly, I’ve forgotten it… 😢. I’m hoping your band video has the same hack. 😂 I had the exact brand of bands you have, strangely though, on a few listings on Yahoo Auc years back, a lot of refurbishers were making a very clear point that they used original type rubber bands, as the new type mobilon bands lose their strength quickly. I have no idea if it’s true, but Japanese are usually pretty nerdy about that type of stuff. I still use the mobilon though…

@ScruffyLookinRGB 3 месяца назад

Thank you. I discovered this after many stubborn, unfixable fds drives. Yes, I have also realized that mobilon bands have a shelf life in my case about 6 years. I've also heard that rubber bands may last longer. I do like how mobilon bands don't fuse to the spindles like the old rubber band did. Makes clean up unnecessary. It would be cool to find a longer lasting solution than rubberbands or Mobilonbands 🤔

@loganjorgensen 3 месяца назад

Rubber is an interesting material, for the most part in the past it was all they had but proved to not have a good lifespan in bands or toys made from it. Kind of an overlooked tech advancement sector but we've come a long way in flexible material options. Pretty standard thing with getting any FDS drive, they all need band replacements but I don't blame sellers for not fixing that though. That is a big oversight for a company as big as Sharp but at least it doesn't damage anything, just sounds awful heh. Been looking at Twin Famicoms lately so good to know about that fault I'd not heard of before.🙂

@ScruffyLookinRGB 3 месяца назад

True, I'm sure they were not thinking about 10 years down the line or 40 years down the line for that matter. Gotta hand it to nintendo they made some good quality consoles 👍🏻✨️✨️✨️

Hey there, would you say the longer elastic bands work better, or worse than the shorter ones used prior?

Hey mate, I'd say they work the same. The real question is if they last any longer or not.

@TeamPandory 28 дней назад

@@ScruffyLookinRGB neat. Thanks 👍. I've got a belt on the way from China, but on the fence on getting one of these see through-types from the Amazon jungle (in Japan too). Thanks for the video btw, interesting regarding the resistor swap. Is flaw on all twins with this name?

@ScruffyLookinRGB 28 дней назад

It's not a bad idea to have both. One good thing about the clear Mobilonbands is the ease of clean up no dried up fused rubber that gets all over the place. I'm not sure if all an-500r have the same issue but I know the earlier versions do. I'm glad my video was helpful. Definitely check out part 2 because there is another resistor that needs swapping out I didn't get to it in time for this video.

@randybutternubs4647 3 месяца назад

The design of this console reminds me alot of the JVC X-Eye (AKA The Wondermega in Japan). It was a Sega Genesis and Sega CD fused together in a similar fashion. I've been wanting to get one simply for how cool it looks. It's also the only US model to have ever gotten a startup bios that uses the piano song usually seen in in Japanese and European CD systems.

@ScruffyLookinRGB 3 месяца назад

Very oool I've seen a wonder mega a few times here in Japan. Might be a fun one to Refurb 😮

@randybutternubs4647 3 месяца назад

@@ScruffyLookinRGB I really want to buy an X-Eye, but here's my dilemma: I already have a genesis. So it feels like a waste of money and an impulse buy to get an X-Eye when I could get a regular CD system for much cheaper. But I also have a sentimental attachment to the US model 1 since that's the version my dad had before it broke down. Thing is, there's a reason the model 1s are so rare in the first place. It's because of their design's incessant use of so many cheap capacitors which were notorious for leaking all over the boards and destroying the console. Giving this model an exceptionally short life span compared to the later models. But I've heard the capacitor fluid CAN be removed by someone with experience with this stuff. As well as replacing the capacitors with better and newer ones. But that job is pretty complex. I saw someone on Reddit who had completely refurbished their US model 1 and even replaced the red and green LED lights. It. Was. Beautiful!!! But again, that's quite a daunting task. And the X-Eye also looks pretty dope too. So that's why I'm torn on what to do. I'm thinking I should get an X-Eye anyway since I feel like it would last longer. I've never even soldered before so there's no way I could repair a model 1.

@ScruffyLookinRGB 3 месяца назад

It sounds like a lot of work but seems like it would be worth it to have a clean working system 😃

@randybutternubs4647 3 месяца назад

@kavya1638 3 месяца назад

Off topic, but your mention of the blaring audio is something I'm actually experiencing with a Model 1 non-TMSS Sega Genesis. What do you suppose could be the issue? I tried re-capping it (outright, completely) the problem still persists. Tried various PSUs, no change. It's happening with the right audio channel only. That is, the headphone port and the coaxial port which apparently uses right channel audio vs composite which uses left channel audio). Any idea why it's doing this?

@ScruffyLookinRGB 3 месяца назад

Oh nice! I've never dealt with replacing the drive motor but I do know fds drives are easily swapped with the twin famicom at least for the one in this video . You could pick up a junk fds replace the belt. And once it's up and running swap it out with the twins drive.

@Mekaneckpain 3 месяца назад

Yeah, I may have to do that someday.

@ScruffyLookinRGB 3 месяца назад

Was there a game doctor for the famicom?

@sqlexp 3 месяца назад

@@ScruffyLookinRGB Yes, there were many in Hong Kong and Taiwan during the early 1990s. Some shops provided services to increase the RAM in game doctors of certain models which came with less RAM than their maximum capacities so that you could play games requiring more disks, and they also provided services to modify the disk systems to become writable. With special software on a disk, we could copy any disk data. There were even expansion cartridges for some game doctor models to allow real-time saving of game progress to RAM and to disks. We used to buy games on disks rather than on cartridges, and we could reuse the disks we had when we bought new games. They were dirt cheap.
