Please help me make a snesp out of my old SNES!
Moderator:Moderators
I think Ben's book is cool! I got it for my birthday. However, although I see the practicle purpose of using a mini SNES for a portable, I wonder why didn't he make tutorial on how to make a portable out of the original SNES which is easier to find in comparison? Also, like 1% of the people who buy his book don't have access to laser router! Why couldn't he have dedicated only one chapter, or just made a section about it on his web site. This way he could of added more information on portable screens or something. But we probably wouldn't need this message board then. :lol:
Now that I got my rant out of the way, could someone please give me some information on how to convert Ben's construction plans for mini SNES to the regular SNES? Thank You! :shock:

No you won't be kicking yourself in the ass later, because if you fry a cheap original SNES you won't be as pissed as you would if you fried an expensive Mini. Get what I mean?
Besides the 1992 SNES has tolerable power consumption and lots of grounding strips that you can remove to make it smaller. Just be careful.
Here is my portable of a 1992 SNES old style. I did it to prove that old SNES's do have potential as sweet portable:

I look at it in this light: Bigger mobo=more space for a bigger screen!

Actually he only uses mini's, there was a post about this topic also.SNESguy wrote:I also think Ben was using big SNES's in the portrait style one. He said that with the trade in of a large SNES, he will cut the cost of making you one. It was on his site a few months back.

I'm all alone, dealing with my broken heart. Why I have feelings if they feel so bad. All seems so dark, will I ever see light?

Actually as bicostp said, the larger mobo made it easier to make a symmetrical case with the huge PSOne screen. The construction was not very hard, but it took a while to design a decent case. It's all worth it though.
Also, the 1992 SNES's are also ideal because they have usable RGB video signals and Stereo sound signals right off the mobo. RGB is great for the PSOne screen, because it is higher quality picture than composite. With a mini-SNES you would have to either use composite or amplify the RGB signals because they are too weak to use normally.
Oh yeah, the the old model's cart slots just pop off so they can be replaced when worn out.
