ah they're two different TV standards, the US uses NTSC. So if you try to use a PAL Famiclone and your TV doesn't support it, you might get a black-and-white or unstable picture. I think most modern TVs support both now, but I'm not entirely sure.
(NTSC Famiclones are usually better anyway - most Famicom games are designed for NTSC and run slower on a PAL system)
Anyway the one I linked is NTSC (according to the listing at least) so it shouldn't be a problem, but if you're buying one from China and it isn't specified you should probably check with the seller first - China is generally a PAL country, although NTSC stuff is sold there too.[/quote]Looks like I'm gonna have to find a famiclone that's not on eBay because the only one that's NTSC is http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Famiclone-Video-Game-Console-Circa-mid-90s-Famicom-Clone-VGC-NES-/191603240449?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c9c716e01 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Famiclone-Video-Game-Console-Circa-mid-90s-Famicom-Clone-VGC-NES-/191603240449?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c9c716e01) and that's too expensive.
Anyone know another site I could shop for famiclones?
What sort of clone are you looking for?
I got rid of most of my "extra" clones, but I still might have one or two lying around that I wouldn't feel terrible about selling. The problem would be controllers though, as most of the clones I have just came loose, but I might be able to piece something together that doesn't look too bad.
I think more importantly though, is how much you are looking to spend on getting a clone (including shipping cost). $20? $50? $80?
Unfortunately, since I had completely forgotten that my family wanted a Blu-Ray for Christmas and they may not have the money for it, I ended up wanting to help them since I was getting money. Lock this please, KingPepe?
