Finished SNES portable! Suportable Nintendo(if not taken)

Post by newguy101 » Sat May 17, 2008 2:17 am

i call it the Suportable Nintendo, if not already taken. after 1 fried psone screen, giving up on the fc twin, and 2 months of guess and test work i finally ended up with a decent(not great) portable made from a SNES mini. pics taken from my craptastic 1.3mp camera phone so they better viewed from just the thumbnail

Top View with a/v out and switch on right and the battery/wall power switch on left

all in all id say it's not bad, especially for my first time dealing with electronics. definitely picked up some tips ill use when i build my next portable. for this i made a custom fiberglass mold and used model car paint for the metallic blue. didn't include a headphone jack because i didn't really care for one. the psone screen sound and brightness buttons are a little recessed but owell. t runs off of 6 AA internal batteries which is why its a bit thicker than it could have been. thanks to all those who answered my many questions. i

I really like the case... It makes me think of a Slim Sega Saturn Controller but Bigger.

That is a very nice looking case, though it does look an offal like a Genesis controller. Still it's very nice, very clean.

well the genesis look alike was un-intentional. i actualy took a snes controller pic and increased size by about 250%(or sumthin liek that cant remember exactly). then i made the curve at the top so it would fit the screen guts properly. never even saw it as a genesis controller til it was mentioned here, and i do admit it does have a striking resemblance
