FC Twin - SNES Compatibility

SNES Compatibility

The FC Twin uses Super Nintendo compatible controllers and devices, and can thus connect to specialized input devices such as the SNES Mouse for Mario Paint.

The FC twin reproduces SNES sound very well for a Famiclone. Some find that the audio has too much treble at times though most agree that the sound quality is true to the original. The SPC700 in the original SNES used a sample-driven mechanism similar to a type of instruction-driven MOD file. Reproducing the sound from these systems simply requires playing back clips of sounds with mathematically-defined effects and loop points. As long as the CPU can read the instruction language or run a program to emulate it, this task presents no difficulty. Consumers have reported that the controllers that come with the FC Twin are not of the same quality as the Super NES brand controllers. Some consumers report that the FC Twin controllers wear out quickly. 2 player mode works fine with either FC Twin controller, or official SNES brand controller.

While the FC Twin is Super Famicom compatible, two plastic tabs in the cartridge slot prevent them from fitting. These tabs must be removed- or otherwise worked around- to play Super Famicom titles. Similar tabs are used in the American Super NES. PAL region games are compatible with the FC Twin system.
