Those region converters were used in the initial production runs of every NES launch title from when the system was test marketed in New York in 1985. Presumably, Nintendo didn't yet have tooling set up for manufacturing NES cartridge PCBs (or wanted to be able to reuse the PCBs for sale in Japan if the test launch went poorly), so the best solution was to use Famicom PCBs in an adapter. > One frustrating thing here is that this adapter was never designed to be used with loose cartridges, but only PCBs. Famicom cartridges are a nightmare to open without damaging them due to reinforced plastic snap tabs, so people who wanted to use these as adapters would just take a rotary tool to it, as this blog post from 2006 shows. You can plug a Famicom cartridge into the Nintendo converter by pulling off the gender adapter and plugging it in the other way so the tabs that block the cartridge are on the bottom. Note that it's tricky to remove the converter from a front-loading NES, which is why most aftermarket Famicom-NES converters have a ribbon to help with pulling them out of the system.

The biggest problem with plugging a generator into an outlet is you need a double ended cord.
