SNESp in the works?!? OMG no wai!?! (Edit: Finished!)

[Life of Brian]

(lol it won't let me say "in t-e-h works". That's funny)

Well, it's been a month and a half since I started working on this and what do I have to show for it? That's right - not much

It's alright though, because next week I'll be free for summer! Yippee!

Anyway, here's the little bit of progress that I have achieved in sporadic bursts (whenever I had time on the weekends - you know the drill) since mid March.

Before primer (kinda ugly ain't it?):


And after primer (Much better!):

^Notice that this is practically an advertisement for Polycase.com since I've been to lazy to tackle that pesky sticker. I need me some Goo-Gone. That stuff works wonders.

Player 2 port:


Cartridge slot! It's a perfect fit.







^Why make things overly complicated when some hot glue will do? This isn't weight-bearing, so it's fine. It's the cartridge connector that I'll have to reinforce heavily. I'm still figuring that part out...

I know that's a lot of pics for 56Kers but I like to share

Up next: painting, batteries (li-ion of course!), and stuffing in all the guts. The screen's already LED modded and ready to go.

Questions, comments, hate mail, death threats?

Beautiful work. Holy you get out for summer in a week?!!?!?
Wow. My summer starts June 21st.

That's looking mighty fine. The L and R buttons are very well placed so I can imagine it will be very comfortable to play games like Mario Kart.

The whole case looks very Nintendo-ish, keep it up

Nice case keep it up!

1. Goo-gone is amazing it will remove practically anything works pretty good on removing permanent marker too.

2. Keep us updated on the cartridge slot I really interested and I sure others are too.

3. Keep on sharing lol

lookin' classy joe. good luck on finishing it

Indeed it is looking nice. SNES is a pain to choose a colour for, eh? Nothing goes well with purple that is good for an overall colour. I went with white, your two are grey and black I have a really nice colour scheme I can't use for mine. Dark grey and black. It would work well with yours. If you so desire:

It kind of gives away my shape. But not completely. I still have a big surprise for all you guys!

[Billybb347]

Cool, I started to build a portable just like this. Mine looks nowhere as good as yours (haven't finished soldering the parts together or even touched the case) I used all of the same parts except for an off-brand PSOne Screen that I'm afraid to LED mod.

[Life of Brian]

Long dead post, riiiiiise!

I come to you bearing pictures of beauty:











And here are some pictures of recent progress:



Itty-bitty soldering! The red arrow indicates where I've since moved a couple of wires. Turns out that pin wasn't good for ground. Well, now I know.



My index finger present to show just how small this is. (Ooo! Color coded wires, Brian? Getting quite fancy nowadays, aren't we?)



I'll have a better "frontal" picture soon. This is just a mock up. A poor one.



I know some of these pics are repeats from elsewhere, but I just wanted them all to be in one place. Part of the reason why this SNESp has taken so long is because I've obsessed over the paint job. I put some clear overcoat on to protect all my hard work, and it totally ruined the awesomeness. I just said screw it, sanded it down once again, added a couple of final light layers of paint and called it done. Now I can get to the FUN part - wiring it all up!

Sweet! And to say t-e-h, I usually just go for the x7r@ l337 by saying t3h.

Oh, by the way, I'm popping in one of these for good measure. And it's going to run off of two 7.2 volt li-ion batteries in parallel. And I'm thinking about making it RGB, depending on if I can get it to work for me or not. Honestly it looks just fine with composite... Oh, and it's going to have video out and a headphone jack. Yup.
