You need to plug an NES game into this Dizzy cart to defeat the lockout, I believe. It's a piggyback.

OR you could sell it to me for say $10 as I could use a box upgrade as mine is missing a flap.

You know you want to!

I'm not Erik, but your Famicom question is answered

. Never seen a Dizzy piggyback like that before...that's pretty cool. It doesn't entirely seem far-fetched, either, what with the Game Genie and the Aladdin games being released in North America under the Camerica name.
