So I recently purchased a (hopefully) original Famicom but need some advice on how to hook it up to a German TV cause I saw people talking about these frickers starting to smoke when connected in a wrong way. Pic related is the underside of it with the model number.

don't put ur dick in it bruv
also, buy an old-ass tv (if possible from japan), with fitting japanese ports, cause german ones probably won't work
>I saw people talking about these frickers starting to smoke when connected in a wrong way.
Probably because they can only take 100v vs the 220v from european power lines
Any way to get around that? i have no fricking clue about powerlines i didnt even mean to buy it im moronic
Yeah can buy a power transformer, I have one in my home it's worth owning because then you can use any JP electronics. A good one is maybe 50 bucks or so.
You'll need to modify it or find a TV with an NTSC tuner.
You can just buy a 9V DC Center Negative PSU for your country. The output voltage is what matters, using 40 year old PSUs if dumb anyway. Most guitar pedal PSUs are the right spec.
Famicom takes 10VDC

Or just google "famicom ac adapter 220v" or something like that.
appreciate it will look into it, on a related note HVC-002 is usually the power adapter for the famicom any idea why its on the underside of the system itself? some also claim 002 is the famicom but thats always a hit or miss
>starting to smoke
If you put whooping 230V at a device that expects 100V what did you expect?
You need a step-down transformer. The connection to the TV should not be that big of a problem, the power supply is!
PAL signal is a big deal in NTSC land
best bet is an upscaler and modern low latency flatpanel
you use a voltage converter hans
that being said murrican tvs that can accept something like channel 99 can accept it via RF, dunno about PAL TVs
oh yeah keep in mind it outputs NTSC (specifically NTSC-J, which matters because it outputs at a channel NTSC-M TVs usually don't recognize unless they were set to CABLE instead of ANT)
oh god im so moronic at least i have a cool thing to show off but i dont think i will be able to use it
Pay $200 to have someone AV mod it
You don't need to mod anything to use NTSC on most PAL sets. The channel can still be manually scanned, I have no idea why Americans think that pre-fixed channels are the only thing that exist, I was amazed when I found out that some places have limited systems like that, any channel can be on any frequency and it's all self-adjustable.
No idea why you're talking about smoking though, unless you mean using the 110V AC power brick with 220V, you can get a 3rd party 220V DC power brick for it or use a step-down transformer. The system has its own clock, runs fine with 60Hz too (like most Nip shit).
AV mod would help with quality but you don't need it.
Also you can actually do it without soldering, even though it helps with the quality of the mod if you do. You're just cutting off the video and audio signals before the RF modulator and putting connectors onto it to hook up over composite and mono audio and even though it's not "true" composite, PAL sets will sync to it fine, even when it's NTSC.
PAL sets that do NTSC are literally free these days. Both old panels and CRTs and the one you have, both panel or CRT, probably does it already, considering how common support was.
I have no idea why you would post something so embarrassing.
jk. Of course I do. It is the nature of the pseud to embarrass itself.
Some TVs just won't accept it, that's why you have to switch it to CABLE from ANT so it'll scan the relevant channels
They didn't cover that in the 3 blog posts and youtubes that made the little homosexual imagine he was an expert on stuff he's never even seen, let alone used.
I've never used a PAL TV so I don't even know if it'll accept an NTSC signal. I've tried to run PAL stuff on an NTSC TV and the picture just came out fricked up and in black and white. Did PAL TVs in the 90s accept NTSC color?
"PAL TV" is a pretty meaningless term. There have been thousands upon thousands of different models of TVs that support PAL, in one or more of its variations.
There are multisystem TVs. These have been common for non-burger-non-poorgays since at least the mid 80's.
There are "NTSC playback on PAL" TVs. These have been common for poorgays in the deepest of darkest of PAL 3rd world shitholes since the early 90's.
For a number of reasons most of burgerland wanted blue light special TVs that only supported local standards. Ironically, your burger TV is less capable than what some 3rd world goat fricker had 30 years ago.
Yeah, we didn't need any other standards. Because NTSC, like America, is superior.
First, use whatever the euro version of Nintendo's RF modulator was or RGB mod it or wait for Krikzz's RGB Blaster. Second, use a Triad PSU instead of the old one.

I forgot to mention, if you want to only use composite, then you can buy a Power Vamp board and replace the original RF board.
i live in denmark and used my famicom on a pal tv just fine
you can open it up and turn a dial to make it work
cant find a guide for it rn but i remember seeing it on the internet maybe youtube
try googling a lot of things
Try hooking up to some b***hes instead
