Painting and another mock-up

There's a mock-up of the front casing all painted.

ENJOY!

Mock ups and case work.

Well so far today I drilled the speaker holes and start/select holes on the front of the case. Then I cut the cartridge case and mocked it up for looks sake. I will be painting hopefully in the next few days after I drill the brightness/volume holes and cut out the controller ports. Here's some pics!

Not a netbook anymore.

Well I couldn't get the netbook case to fit everything so I decided to use a ZN-40 by Polycase. I got to work to cut and glue in the button holes. The tan stuff is wood putty and the rest is just the abs plastic. Here's the picture!


I still need to cut and glue in the start and select buttons but that's mostly it on the case.

Major update

Hello, I haven't posted in a while but I have a few new things to share. I got my zenith screen cut and abs cemented into place. Hopefully that dries soon so I can work on the other side of it. I also cut the cart slot hole. My batteries came in the mail so I wired them up and smae with my smart charger. I also cut the holes for my power switch and power port. And glued them in. Oh yea and I broke my SNES when I was soldering so a new one is in the mail for me.

Concept Art

I quickly made a concept of what the final product will look like. I just found out though that it looks exactly like the new yobo FC16 Go. I will still be finishing the snesbook none the less.

Rewired all the capacitors!

Well yesterday I decided to add more room to the case by flattening the capacitors. Everything worked after a little testing. I am going to order my screen and battery today. I'm ordering a xbox/ps2 zenith 5" screen and a 7.4v battery from www.batteryspace.com

Next step is to buy a desoldering iron and a new soldering iron and relocate the cart slot.

Welcome to my worklog!

Hello! I am building a portable super nintendo. This is where I will post my updates on my work. I also post at www.benheck.com and www.modretro.com

Here is a picture of the case I will be using. It is a nintendo DS accessory case.



Here are my controller ports cut out.



So far so good!
