--- Quote from: CrimsonEnigma on October 14, 2013, 09:04:54 PM ---One thing I want to know before I buy one - Does it have FDS compatibility? --- End quote --- its unfortunate but I dont ever see a clone on the FDS ever being made to market in the US mostly because famicom gamers are a very small (but strong) base here in the states and the FDS in an even smaller subsection within that. From a marketing and profit POV it wouldnt make sense for a company to put money into R&D to replicate the original hardware to a group that is just not there. Although that would be awesome lol |

--- Quote from: Nacho3 on October 14, 2013, 11:10:13 PM ---Famicom Disc System? I very highly doubt it. --- End quote --- why not? AFAIK the FDS connects to the Famicom cart slot, if this has an FC slot it should be able to run the FDS? |

Games like Zelda were FDS in Japan, but obviously not here, so I can't see why it wouldn't be possible. |
