Awww, Damn It!

Post by |B| »

I got my Little Super NES today. To my dismay, the damn thing is discolored in the back (that disgusting yellow color). I don't know what would cause this. Not smoke, because I got my SNES in 1995 and my mom smoked up until last year. Also probably not the sun because I'm pretty sure my old SNES was in the sun a lot.

Any suggestions as to what I can/should do about this crappy discoloration?

Thanks

The plastic just got discolored. There's nothing wrong with the electronics. Just use some plastic-safe spray paint on it.

OK, as soon as I get some kind of driver that works, I'll paint this damn thing. Probably blue. I don't know much about paint, but I'll try to do a good job spraying and maybe even look into clear coat stuff.

Nevermind all that. I have a brilliant idea, and it doesnt require any spray paint fumes. Okay, okay, take the snes motherboard, connect a 2.3" to 5.4" screen, then hack up a controller to attach to this monster. Put it in an all new case, and call it....a Portable.

Wow Soundwave, What a Novel Idea! I think it could really catch on! Then we could have are own group and call it The Leage of Portable Crusaiders or LPC for short.

Thanks for the idea, but I don't have an extra SNES at the moment for when I screw it up. I also can't afford a screen, either. I would however like to get an SCART lead since I am lucky enough to have an NTSC TV with RGB. I should do the hack on my Super NES 2. However, although it does seem uneven having a Nomad and no portable SNES, I need to Play It Loud on the bigger screen.

Actually at the moment I really don't feel like painting it, I will just leave it as it is to avoid a mental frustration disaster. It plays the games OK. Thanks for the suggestions.
