RetroZone sells NES cart shells in a few colors for $5 each --- Quote from: Malus_X on March 31, 2013, 05:33:29 PM ---Is it possible to swap shells for a US NES game and a Famicom shell? --- End quote --- NES and famicom games have a different number of pins and differences in the pin layout so simply switching the shell is no good (not to mention the boards would be loose and rattle around). There are some early NES games with pin converters that you could put a famicom board into, but you would have to find one of the carts first. |

I have a few carts that could use replacement shells for the backside. $6 is pretty steep when I can just buy a pile of garbage sports games for the same price. |

I feel the same, BUT I need front pieces, so the extra dollars is worth it to me if I don't have to scrub old labels off. |

No need l scrub off labels. Pour some isopropyl into a shallow dish, soak carts overnight, labels basically fall off. I do it all the time ;) |
