I plan on buying this book and using my old SNES. (I've already disassembled it). Do you HAVE to use a SNES mini for the how-to in the book, or can you make it with a SNES original.

While the board of the first versions of the original SNES is pretty big, the board in the later version is very similar to the SNES mini. The main difference is that it is about 2" wider, and a lot of that width is grounding strips that can be cut smaller.
Here's a comparison:
You can tell the difference between an earlier and later model SNES by looking at the eject button. On the early ones, "EJECT" is printed on it in white, but on the later ones it is molded into the button.

Ya, you could do it, it's just you're pretty much on your own if you do, as the book can't really help you; things are in different places.
You can use the SNES custom handheld place to get help if you need it. Essentially it will be custom because your project is slightly different.
Have Fun!
