I just finished it today - it's a wedding present for a good friend of mine It came out well and I am very pleased with it. Picture frame number two was easier and went faster because I used lessons learned from making the first one.
Front
Side
Back (had some plastic on hand that I'm going to use the rest for vacuum forming one of these days). The scratches seen here are worse than in person - you have to hold it at an angle in the light to really see them.
Here's the girl who helped me make important decisions about how it all should look and took the above pictures (notice my borrowed/stolen ball cap on her head):
Used a Sony PSOne screen (although Zeniths are just as good), a SanDisk Photo Viewer (I think that's the name) and the power jack and power adapter from the screen (which has enough juice to power the screen and the photo viewer slide show thing). All housed in a beautiful shadow box from Hobby Lobby
I highly recommend this project as "the gift" to give friends and loved ones. Sure you could go buy one, but it's not handmade and personalized now is it?

I'm warning you, once I get the time there's going to be no stopping me. Ha ha, I currently have three different designs of SNES portables I want to make all at the same time.CronoTriggerfan wrote:Another? Man, you're on fire! It looks great, they better like that thing!

I was wondering if anyone would notice that. It's the very one I bought from CTF.ShockSlayer wrote:CTFan, did you notice the red pso screen in the 3rd picture?

Thanks for the compliment, but I didn't make the frame. Just everything else.

i think for your next one you should throw in a speaker and give it the ability to play movies so you can have a digital home movie viewer, that would be cool but i suppose a vcr has already been made anyway

But hey, did they end up liking that piece of awesomeness? I hope so! Also, I've been a bit curious... that SNESp revision of yours you've been talking about; it's had me biting at my nails! Can we expect a project update sometime in the near future, perhaps?

Ohhh yes you may expect an update I've actually got two SNES portable projects in the works, but one will definitely be finished before the other.
Here's a teaser pic to agonize you even further.
As you can see, I was productive over spring break.

Is it just me or does that limp wrench look kinda... phallic? That ad's been on the Sunday comics for years and I immaturely think that every time I look at the danged thing.twilightprincess wrote:looks awesome so far, ive seen a lot of those cases lately.

As for comfort of the shoulder buttons, it's great! My girlfriend says she likes it more than having them on top because it feels more natural than curving your fingers over the top of a normal controller. And when you're not using the buttons, they fit perfectly into the curvature of your fingers.
