Where can i find nintendo cords?

[240marcuSX]

I need both of the cords to plug in my nintendo! I figured that if anybody knew, They would probably be in the others forum.

[240marcuSX]

OK, so i found some online and whatnot, i did not know that the cords were interchangable between NES, SNES, and sega genesis.

[Slipstream]

I know of a place in Amherst, OH that specializes in repairing them. I think if you google them, they have a website and you can probably order what you need. I have a set with my nintendo, but I was selling it with all the games and console.

[sensibleS13driver]

I sold mine with my NES a few weeks ago

[240marcuSX]

Its funny everyone is selling them and im trying to get mine working again.

I just got the urge a few days ago to break out the nintendo. but i remembered that the reason it wasnt already connected because those cords frayed long ago.

My friends dog chewed through my s cable o my X-Box one time. I hate dogs. Why couldnt the son of a ***** chew through the power cord while it was plugged in. Then I wouldnt have been pissed.

Actually, the Gamecube uses the same RF modulator for Coax setups that the NES did. So you should still be able to buy one anywhere that sells the consoles and/or accessories.

For non coax, just buy a set of standard RCAs. The NES has RCA outs on the right side (you can see them in the pic you posted).

And you should be able to find the A/C adapter at radio shack (as much as I hate that place) or the Walls Mart. The NES should list the voltages, etc so you know what one to buy.

Im sorry but what do you mean by coax setup? non coax setup?

[MinisterofDOOM]

Coax is normal "cable" cable. The "screw in" kind of cable.

Non-coax could mean anything but the above, but I was referring to "RCA" (the red, yellow, and white cables that modern consoles and most DVD players use). RCA is probably the easiest way to go, since you can find those cables almost anywhere for cheap. Of course, your TV will need RCA inputs as well. Almost every TV does, but not all. I have a fairly new one that doesn't (POS GE), so make sure you check first.

Otherwise.This is the RF modulator I was referring to for coax setups:

You won't need the small black device as it's an adapter for the GameCube, but the grey device is the exact same RF modulator that came with the original NES.

Okay, thanks alot. Im going to go today and hunt for the cords when i get off from work.

This is where I love my PC. NES emulator w/200 ROMS, +SNES emulator w/~20 ROMS, +Atari emulator w/500 ROMS, +Genesis emulator w/15-20 ROMS + a half decent USB joystick = oldschool gaming FTW!!

[240marcuSX]

Yeah, i used to download and play emulators while i was in high school.

[240marcuSX]

SO i went and bought the original RF switch yesterday for $3.

BUT, friggin radio shack wanted $40!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for an ac adaptor. So it looks like ill be ordering one online for slightly less, $4.00

[MinisterofDOOM]

Don't give up yet. Radio Suck is usually WAY overpriced. Case in point, motorola phone charger at radio shack: $50. Motorola phone charger at walmart: $8.50. They only sell special fancy shack brand stuff that's way marked up. You can probably find a replacement elsewhere for ~$12 (That's the last price I payed for a "universal" A/C adapter there).

[240marcuSX]

I just ordered a brand new rf switch and brand new ac adapter for $20 shipped. Now i just have to hunt through all of my garbage to find the rest of my games/controllers.

[Mr1der]

I have an issue of needing to crack my NES open and solder a power connection....

[240marcuSX]

Finally go it working, i need a new 72 pin connector though, becuase i have to do some wiggling to get it to work.

I cant wait until i get off from work so i can try to beat mario 3, jealous?

[nchopp]

Not really. Oblivion is calling my name for when I get home.

[240marcuSX]

vs.



Mario 3 FTW.

[MinisterofDOOM]

Sock world ROCKS!

[240marcuSX]

Im lame, and didnt get a chance to play it yesterday, instead i went to a friends house and decimated them in Disney Monopoly, by the end of the game i had over $12,000.

and whats even lamer is that im probably going home tonight, on a friday night, and playing these video games from the mid 1980's.
