You get what you pay for; stay away from Yobo adapters. The $40 one works perfectly. It's translucent black with white text, for anyone else looking.
It works well, but not perfectly. Games that map their own VRAM will not work properly because two pins are tied together on the converter as they are on 98% of commercial cartridges. They must be separated for the 2% (Gauntlet, Rad Racer II, After Burner, all MMC5 games) to work properly. With alot of scraping and some soldering, I was able to get these games to work properly with real cartridges but apparently destroyed its ability to work with the PowerPak. Now it displays severe graphical glitches from menu to game.
The family converter, as seen here, will work perfectly with all commercial cartridges, including all games listed above. They will also work with the ROMs which work with the PowerPak (no MMC5).
