Why your channel doesn’t have over a 100k subs blows my mind. Your channel is seriously one of the best of its kind.

[@RoXolid]

I appreciate that, but I haven't earned it yet. I'll get there, it'll just be a bit.

[@MarcosComentarista-jn2yp]

I have one FC 83 with av mod. The Hudson joystick doesnt work with 90% FC library.

[@chrisnaugle6786]

LOVE THE FAMICOM!! I have an un-modded system (retired to the display case) and a modded system (work horse). When I did the A/V mod, I also spliced in two NES controller cables from two broken NES controllers. Great having the extra length. Only downside is no mic for controller 2 by I never use it and would have disabled it anyway to avoid audio feedback. Another great video. Love the channel.

[@RoXolid]

Thanks so much! I want to HDMI Mod my Sharp Twin Turbo but I haven't done it

[@8BitGlitch79]

I love my Hudson Joycard MKII controller. I think it is a must have for a Famicom collector. I also have a Hudson Joycard Sansui SSS for the NES that has the headphone jack in the bottom. I love that controller.

[@RoXolid]

But not Jungle Green

[@EsquireFox]

I have a variant of this controller (Hudson Joycard Super X) for the MSX and X68000. By far my favorite controller option for those systems.

[@RoXolid]

Very nice!

[@jonnielsen547]

Love the enthusiasm of this video. I've also become a fan of the Famicom. Got two AV Famicoms, one RGB modded, one with composite through the Retrotink 5x with scanlines as an alternative to the sharp look 🙂👌

[@RoXolid]

About two and a half or three years ago I had a chance to pick up an AV famicom for around $100. Man, I wish I would have pulled the trigger

[@jonnielsen547]

@@RoXolid it's a very good system. I paid around that much for the one I ended up modding. And the one I'm playing right now was bought from a Japanese eBay seller for 160$ complete in box and very good condition.

[@RoXolid]

The one that I saw was a hundred bucks complete in box as well, and the box was in great shape

[@jonnielsen547]

@@RoXolid it's definitely worth it is you get another chance. Speaking of controllers I'm quite enjoying the dogbone that comes with it, though I'd also like to try something like what you're showing there. Any idea if the 8bitdo FC are any good?

[@ngbf2900]

They're officially called the Twin Famicom, not Famicom Twin or Famicom Twin turbo (I understand if you have some enthusiasm or background with cars it's easy to just say twin turbo, but these consoles weren't named so by Sharp, sorry I just wanted to point out). The earlier ones didn't have turbo functions, the later ones did. While the average gamer kid in Japan like myself grew up with the standard famicom with only RF, the Twin Famicoms with composite and disk system built in were a luxury item and we were jealous of rich friends and relatives that had it. About the red Hudson controller you have there, I have the black version called Hector 87 from back in the day, it's functionally the same. Still works so I'm using it with a MiSTer. Great controller.

[@RoXolid]

I have not had a chance to yet

[@Evercade_Effect]

I didn't know the Famicom controller cords were so short.

[@RoXolid]

Yeah, they're super short. the Famicom Mini also has very short controller cables.

[@rafaelsena935]

Hi mate, Do you think I can remove the two original controllers and use just the front port with cable adapter for two controllers? I mean, literally remove the original controller cables and just use the the external port ? Thanks

[@richardfosterII7575]

Awesome video. I really want to get a sharp twin famicom twin turbo. Can you get rgb out of the av port on it? If not what where you using to connect it? Was the capture through composite. I have a retro avs but always wanted a famicom and for the disc system.

[@RoXolid]

I am using the composite video output, going into the RetroTink 5x. I don't know what that Multi-output does to eb honest

[@basiledaudet5774]

I bought an av modded famicom in mint condition for 30 bucks 1 year ago and I love it

[@RoXolid]

Famicoms are really coming down in price, it's a great thing!

[@teshx9x9x40]

I love the shirt! and The famicom looked better had way more games then the nes tbh I have the retron 3hd I know not the best but to enjoy the 8bit era is a treat I bought more nes games then for my snes lol. U look great btw I'm glad that ur doing better. I'll tune in for more content in the future. : D

[@RoXolid]

Thanks so much!!

[@MVLGAMING]

I've always loved the look of that system. But admittedly play my Famicom cartridges on a Retro Freak, since importing NTSC consoles to UK needs power adaption and a 60 hz compatible screen. (for CRT use anyhow) Which is doable, just a bit of a hassle. Still, controller looks great!

[@RoXolid]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@joandarc441]

This console was popular on my country the Philippines back in the day when my father was a kid we call it their family computer

[@RoXolid]

Correct, Famicom is short for Family (Fami) Computer (Com)

[@joandarc441]

@@RoXolid yep every person from the old day's remember it here in the Philippines you can play on our sari sari stores

[@eadmaster2]

Are the dpad diagonals and travel the same as the stock famicom controller?

[@RoXolid]

Pretty much, I didn't feel a lot of difference between the stock controller and the Hudson one

[@eadmaster2]

​@@RoXolid I have a few Famicom stock controllers here, and they all seem to have harder diagonals than my old NES controller. Since this was made by Hudson which also made many shmups, i was hoping it had easier diagonals. I think I'll check the Hori Commander HJ-10 then.

[@jeff97ish]

Better late than never. Hope you are good Gary!

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

I love this controller it feels even better if you swap the d-pad with a gameboy d-pad and a pair of gameboy convex buttons. This is a straight up luxury controller. Cant play my famicom with out it.

[@RoXolid]

You know, email me, I'd love to do a video with you someday. I like the cut of your jib :)

[@orlandoturbo6431]

How about making an adapter so you can use NES controllers on the Turbografx 16.

[@RoXolid]

No idea how to wire that

[@mikes455]

What power supply are you using with your Famicom systems?

[@RoXolid]

I have the OEM ones

[@mikes455]

Thank You!

[@sunekoo]

How are you hooking the famicom up via retrotink? I thought famicom was RF only or am I being stupid

[@frankbizzoco1954]

at 5:08, he says that he is using the Sharp Turbo Twin, which has composite.

[@RoXolid]

As Frank Said I am using my Sharp Turbo Twin. Now my Famicom also has an AV mod, but you're right, most Famicoms are only RF.

[@ginovavienne7581]

Dragon Ball was great on Famico, rpg fighter. I had Famicom and Super Famicom, because of Famicom.

[@RoXolid]

Never been an RPG fan myself

[@ginovavienne7581]

@@RoXolid that's cool not everybody has to be the same, as long as you are a gamer you're alright with me.

[@Yubl10]

I am Year late on commenting but here I am. I just bought this controller for my famicom that I have had for 13 years now. This type of controller to me seems like it's best for space shooters like gradius 1 and 2 or run and gun type games like contra and super contra. Platforming games like kid dracula / mega man or mario style games I personally wouldn't use the turbo function for because it seems unnecessary to me.

[@RoXolid]

It's really terrific, and welcome, I'm glad that you saw this!

Can we make controllers this perfect nowadays, but USB? :D

The best thing about the twin is the fact that it does AV out right from the box, in addition to the fact that it does both the carts and the discs. I'm so glad that I got mine, paid under $150
