My "complete" super famicom came today. Didn't come with an RF adapter, AV cable or power adapter.... I do have an original Famicom power adapter and it looks identical. Will this safely work on the SFC without problems? The box has sun fad on a couple sides sadly so I'll have to locate a new SFC box to buy so I can keep it's sexy ass on display. At least the console, paperwork and controllers are minty though.
Yeah, the SFC AC adapter has the same product number. By the way, get a RGB Game Cube cable (from Europe, they use the standard socket in the SFC and 64, no the Digital one) and get a RGB to Y Pb Pr converter or something, that'll give you some amazing video quality (the SFC looks way better through RGB than for CVBS).
SFC never came with any cables or PSU because Nintendo were cheap and wanted you to buy them. They use the excuse that the Famicom cables etc would work and that people who bought the SFC would already own a Famicom. Yeah, right. Yakumo
WOW. Fuck, NCL really was full of cocksuckers, huh? I'd be pissed if I bought a brand new product that didn't include any of the necessary cables. I'd bitch to the company. (Did that make sense?)
Given how the Famicom was the most sold console in Japan at the time it probably would have meant that most people buying the SFC had a Famicom, the fact the SFC didn't come with any cables was a stroke of genius as you would be able to use the RF and PSU you had with the Famicom and if you wanted better quality then you could buy the cables you wanted. :thumbsup: There was also the fact that every mainstream console in Japan at that time used the same 9V 1A PSU so why should you get more PSUs to do the same job as one would do. Although Nintendo messed up after this by making every other console after that have hardwired and different PSUs. The only people that seem to complain about this are resellers. ;-) BTW The SFC an SNES do need to have slightly different components in the SCART cable else you'll get a dark or overly bright picture.
Still pretty much happens. When i bought my $600 launch PS3 the damn thing only had RCA cables. I'm sorry, when you try to sell me a $600 system and the selling points are HD gaming and HD movies, you better include component cables. The 360 got it right, why couldn't Sony? And why is there such bad support for VGA cables on the PS3? grrr....
The Saturn in the UK shipped with RGB scart cables however may whining sods back then still had shitty TVs so they couldn't play their Saturn once they got home and had to go out and buy a RF cable. :lol:, they should have bought a better TV. Yakumo
Ah, I feel like a moron now. I remember reading about that some time ago. I guess the only bum thing is the faded box but I shouldn't be so picky. I'd still like to have 2 adapters, one for the FC and one for the SFC. Is there any place to get an official HVC-002 power adapter at a reasonable price? Ebay usually has them for $30 which is murder. Oh and call me crazy -- Is it just me or is there a timing difference between Super Mario World on the SFC and on the SNES. The SFC version feels lagged, sort of like jumping/running is delayed just a split second.
You totally sure on that mate as far as i was aware all original super famicoms came with a power supply & composite cables. Maybe you mean super famicom junior? And all japanese gamecubes came with a composite cable in the box. If you wanted to run it via the arial socket you needed to buy an rf adapter.
Pretty sure mate. My Super Famicom doesn't even have a space in the box for a PSU or AV cable I do remember reading the reason was because most people already owned them because they had Famicoms. Yakumo
Hmm thats really odd as my very first sfc i got years ago had a psu in the box & there was a space for it. Nintendo generally don't sell consoles without a psu the only one i can think of was the famicom disk system & that was because it was battery powered.
Do you still have your original Famicom box, mate? Maybe there were two versions? The only place a PSU could fit in my box would be under the controllers but even then it doesn't look like there'd be enough space. yakumo
My SFC came with an AC adaptor and RCA cable, and both we're under the controllers and fitted perfectly... ._.
As far as I'm informed I think there was always a power connector included, only the AV-cable was missing. Each "new" versions though, New Famicom and Super Famicom JR, had no cables at all, see the list of contents in the bottom right:
... God that is what I call small letters. Super Famicom... Shumia? x1, I assume that it's the system. Super Famicom Controllers x1, well like most of the consoles. Instruction manual (o ... WHERE IS EVERYTHING ELSE? I mean, imagine that Sony sold the PS3 with no AC or AV cable (because the AC is a ATX cable and the AV a HDMI one). People would get nuts! :c
True but Sony are selling the PS3 as a home entertainment system so you would expect everything in the box, except they should get rid of the AV cable and bundle in a HDMI cable. Ferrari don't cars and set the engine to do 70mph just because that's the maximum speed in most countries. Although as Sony have kept the AV connector the same on every console they have ever did I do wish they wouldn't bundle in the AV cable, my PS3 one is in the box still new and shiny as I never had a use for the proxy thing. As for the Super Famicom, Nintendo did a good thing as most people that would have bought it would have had a famicom (except the importers) so it creates less waste and less crap to stay in the box never to be used...
