+ファミリーコンピュータ or ファミコン (Famicom)
 ==== Twin Famicom ====
-Two main versions. Original has that nice curved bump on top, and no power light. Disk drives in these have no write restrictions, so are good if you want to write full games to disks.
+Made my [[Sharp]]. Single unit incorporating Famicom and the disk drive. Have mono composite out.

+=== Flashcarts ===
+  * Everdrive - Expensive. Can do basically anything you'd want from a flashcart. Can do disk games too. Lots of iterations. Versions for NES and Famicom.
+  * PowerPak - Another FPGA cart, also plays FDS.

+=== Disk ===
+  * FDSStick - popular, cheap little drive emulator that connects to a PC via USB. With some DIYing you can use it to write ROMs to disks too.

+===== Storage =====
+Regular-sized Famicom carts are about the same size as an [[audio cassette]], so racks and cases made to hold those are great for storage. Note that Famicom carts come indifferent heights.
+People 3-D print a variety of little racks (sometimes called display stands) on Etsy, and I assume other places like that.
+===== Trivia =====
   * Diskun yellow is (CMYK) M30%, Y100%. So Hex #FFB300.
