I modded both my Twin Famicom and original Famicom with NES controller ports using NES extension cables, and it's actually a much better method than getting a controller adapter since some NES and Famicom games are actually incompatible with expansion port controllers. You can even mod the system in such a way that you can have both microphone and light gun support, which is also something I did.

But he clearly stated that he doesn't want to modify the hardware, and I don't blame him. I wouldn't want to cut up a Fami Twin either :/

It has better Video output than the original Famicom, it works with Famicom Disk System.

Only draw back is that it misses the microphone one the second controller, which affects 1 or 2 games.

Not sure does it support the added sounds channels of the original Famicom, but I think it does.

I would prefer not to modify the system. I REALLY like it so i would rather not. I have looked up some tutorials for modding controller ports to it but i elected against it. Unfortunately i decided against it after i purchased 4 nes controller extensions (two for the mod, two because i just wanted them). :P

Do you by chance have a list or know which games are incompatible with the expansion port?

I go back and forth on whether or not I want to mod certain systems. When it's all said and done, I just can't bring my self to mod any sytstem which I have owned since it was new. NES, SNES ect. I jusst can't bring myself to cut those systems up.

Now a used system on the other hand doesn't bother me. So cutting up my Master System for the FM sound mod wasn't a problem. Same with adding s-video to a Genesis.

I dislike moding systems, so I compromised. PC for emulation and real systems for when I want the classic feel, and a matrix video switcher so I can route anything to any TV.
