How did you fill the indentations on the left and right sides of the front half?
Did you fill them with something or cut them out and flip them around?

I used bondo marine putty gap filler stuff. You can find it at wal-mart in the automotive area. It looks like a long (about 4 to 5") cylindrical tube of grey... stuff. Check out G-force's PlayMad PSOne portable to see where I got the idea. Just stick it on there, shape it, and sand it down when dry. Hard as a rock.

I was confused partially because it looked so rounded and professional. Nice job!

That thing is awesome! It looks very similar to the Playmad.
Meh, I don't post much.

Okay first off it's Brian, not brain. That drives me nuts.

Here are a couple of links that should get you started, and make sure to read everything you can in the stickies!

Is English your native language? I'd like to help you, but I really need some separate sentences. I'll try to answer your questions as best I can, but it's hard to follow this stream-of-consciousness thing you're doing.

1. So, the case you got is smaller than mine? Are you referring to the extra area I added by applying some Bondo so I'd have space for the buttons on the top?
2. I get Bondo Marine Putty from Wal-Mart. Look in the automotive section.
3. There are a million places to look for how to wire up an SNES - it's already been all written down and it's here in this forum, in the links I gave you, and at the BenHeck wiki.
4. The U shape thing is something I cut out of plastic and attached to the back with some screwposts and glue.
5. I desoldered components on the Super Nintendo with a desoldering iron.

Does that help?
