(CAN) NES challenge set(incomplete)

What I have here is an incomplete NES challenge set. Includes the box (fairly beat up) styrofoam, manuals and registration card, 2 controllers, console, all plastic wrap and Mario 3 cartridge. What is not included are the rf cables, power adapter and cartridge sleeve. Condition, as can be seen in the pictures, is not great for the papers, box and styrofoam, but everything else is great. Selling for $50 plus shipping CDN OBO.

 

Does the deal include the cat or was the cat helping you measure the dimension of the box with that measuring tape(sorry couldn't help myself).

Question: can one use a 240v adapter on this machine?

Nice system by the way, well sought after:thumbsup:

 

No, you'd need a stepdown. I don't know how much luck you'd have displaying an NTSC_U RF image on a PAL TV either or do they have composite outs?

 

Yeah I have one of those NTSC/PAL 600Hz HDTV which has the RGB composite ports.

The reason I asked was because I've never had a NES in my life just wanted to experience the game play.

Any difference between the NTSC and PAL NES machines, I remember when I had the SFC and was told it was like something % faster than the SNES.

 

lol loving that cat in the corner, nice console i guess

 

All the old NTSC consoles run approximately 17% faster, up until the PSX all PAL consoles were compromised/regimented including the Saturn.

 

You sure about that? I know the NES' power brick takes in AC and outputs 9v AC instead of DC so I'd assume the brick also outputs a sine wave too. Guess it would still be expecting a 60hz sine wave as opposed to a 50hz sine way.

Fun fact: since the NES has an AC rectifier in there it'll accept DC into the jack. Just don't try that with a Sega CD.

 

Contradiction in terms. You mean yellow-white-red connectors? That's composite. If it's dark red-green-blue connectors plus white and red for audio then it's component. You can use composite for NES but not component or RGB (or S-Video).

Go for the US one if you can and do the 10NES chip disable mod, which is about as simple as they come (lift one pin on one chip, no soldering or anything else required). The 50/60Hz thing matters for gameplay but shouldn't matter for the PSU.
