Should you buy the Twin Famicom in 2024? 

believe me, the c64 scene has become highly conscientious about persevering their commodores by paying more attention to their electrolytic capacitors, mostly because the c64 can’t work with any ceramic capacitors instead

but sadly another weak point in preserving commodore hardware has been in dealing with the chips that tend to get really hot, the vic-ii, sid, pla, and 6510 cpu, and the kernal, character, and BASIC rom. those are the chips that are most quick to heat up. some people just use heatsinks and forget about it, but it isn’t that much good without airflow. for the nes and famicom systems, i would definitely recommend paying attention to how one would preserve the life of the cpu and ppu chips and definitely the electrolytic capacitors and the belts and drive heads in the disk system. otherwise the famicom seems to be far less headache in preserving

you know what ? the famicom also has the family basic keyboard. i think it would be neat if someone were to program a machine language monitor for the famicom. it would be a very attractive prospect for the hombrew dev scene

they might be a king or a little street sweeper, but sooner or later they dance with the reaper

Very important to learn how to repair the belt on these

There's 3 versions. Another black unit with red striping exists. This Green stripe version was the last iteration of the unit.

Were you able to use a RGB Blaster while playing a famicom disk? If not then I imagine there might be a way to remove that lock but I don’t know for sure

@@maxrichards5925 drive side doesn't work so I haven't tried to boot from disc using the blaster. Twin Famicom is Composite also so it wouldn't be the end of the world if you couldn't. I think it would work though if my drive did knowing how the RGB just preempts the signal before it goes to the jack.
