Can i hack up a original model of the SNES to a smaller size

Post by cowsgoquack101 »

I saw someone do it before but it didn't say how...I don't want to spend my money on a system i already have and my neighbor won't trade his :(
So i am asking u members of Benjamin Heckerdorn's site(aka better than me at portable's) Is it possible of me to hack on original SNES down to a smaller size(like the Atari 2600)? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes the grounding strips can be cut off :P just in case i'm not saying your an idiot they are the strips of metal on all the sides.

You might be able to cut it smaller but if you can I don't know about it.

Does the original even have those accursed screws?

Yes all systems after the NES used the evil Nintendo screws. However if you did a search you'll find ways of getting them out. You can also find ways on doomportabls.
