Just bought one one these Honeybee FC-to-NES cart adapters. My

Are you able to get them to play at all? I don't know about the honeybee but most of those adapters don't have a 10nes chip in them, which means the region lockout isn't going to let the games boot at all. That's what the blinking light is, it's the system getting caught in a reset loop because the lockout chip isn't allowing it to load what it thinks is a pirated game.

Go on YouTube and find a walkthrough for snipping the lockout chip, not only will you be able to play imports and bootlegs with no problem but you won't ever have to deal the blink again.

When I consulted Google, I found absolutely nobody bitching about needing to disable the 10NES before getting the Honeybee to work. Everyone keeps talking about it like it's supposed to just plain work. And Honeybee being a company from Taiwan, I figured they just disregarded copyright/patent laws regarding the lockout chip. (Pic related; I don't know for sure, but I think the black chip on the left side of the board is probably the chip that makes it work.) The closest I've come to this possibly working is seeing a coloured screen upon every reset instead of just plain black.

I've already been seriously considering getting my NES fixed up to deal with that lock-out chip. This might be what makes me follow through. Even if it turns out the Bee is fucked, at least I won't have to deal with the blinking, and that alone would be worth it. In the mean time, I think I'll open up my Honeybee to see if it has that mysterious black chip.

Ah yep, that's definitely the lockout chip on the left side of the board. I figured it had one given how pricy it is, but I'd recommend disabling the chip in your NES anyway just to not have to deal with the blink like you said.

Another thing, are you trying to play the games in the up position? I have pic related, it's cheap and Chinese and doesn't have a lockout chip in it, and the games don't play in the down position because the board doesn't have those long contacts that the back side of NES boards do. One other thing, at least with my mine, the games need to be inserted into the adapter backwards. So on a famicom cart it would be label facing down, with the honeybee logo facing up.

You can fix your NES yourself just fine, it's just snipping one leg on a chip on the board.

Anon is right, it's very easy and you don't need any special tools.

Also you might want to consider bending the bottom row of pins up on your 72 pin connector. Games won't work in the down position anymore but they work on the first try most times as long as the game is clean. Really I'd almost recommend snipping the lockout chip and bending the pins up on every NES if you don't have a problem with it, it makes them work loads better.

Any luck OP?

If the game doesn't start and then go off when the light blinks it's not just the 10NES

I've been looking to buy this adapter in your pic, where can I get it?

>>3253986
I bet you paid more for that than I paid for my last famicom.

You can find them on eBay for like 25-30 bucks. As long as you snip your lockout chip it works like a charm, I have nothing but good things to say about it. Built quite sturdy for a cheap Chinese accessory.

This. If the game is working you'll still see the title screen during each blink before it resets.
