SNESguy isn't the only person here who has worked on electronics or portables, you know...

Use an exacto-knife or something sharp to score the board. Run the knife over the part that you want to cut off multiple times so it is fairly deep. Once the cut is deep enough for you to move the side a bit, you can snap it off. You have to be careful when you do this. You can also use a dremel, but the shock is bad for the mobo.

Thanks for the help, and sorry if I offended anyone.

I would tear them apart, but the super famicom is a lot more streamlined than the US SNES and I'm going to try to make the case out of the console itself.

I wish my security bits would hurry up and get here!
But doesn't the super Famicom take a different type of cartridge? And plus it has programmkng to play the Famicom games only I think.

I agree the cartrige slot looks different

only difference in carts is the security lockout thingy, aka a piece of plastic so far as i know

The Regional Lockout section of Wikipedia's SNES article may help this dispute. I didn't read the whole thing, but I think the only difference is that the Super Famicom is that the NTSC SNES had square carts while the PAL SNES and Super Fami had rounded edges on the carts. I didn't read the whole thing, but I think you can use SNES carts.
