SNES portable

[Life of Brian]

Hello all

I finished this a while back and thought that I'd share. Now if only the OVGE would come back so I could go around testing games!





Here's a link for the full write-up about it. Also, this is the "making of" link.

I originally created an account here as joedog86 about a year and a half ago but decided to start with a new name. I really like these forums and intend to be a more active member in the near future.

When I first joined, I had the intention of selling portables like this but as usual life got way more busy than expected. I'd post a link to the thread, but I'm not certain how to get the URL with this type of forum.

Here's a picture of the first SNES portable I made over a year ago:



And of course here's the full write-up about it.

A bit about me:
I'm a chemistry major but video games and electronics are my passion. I'm an SNES fanatic and really can't seem to get enough of side-scrollers.

It's nice to meet all of you

Polycase.com, eh? The plastic look distiguishes it from what I've seen of Mr. Heckendorn's aluminum models. I bet it's lighter, too!

[TonyTheTiger]

You've got real talent.

I like the nice clean Professional look. Definitely up there with Mr. Heckendorns work.

Awesome!

Which SNES systems did you take apart to make this gift? Version 2?

Are you going to sell it?

Can it play Super Game Boy?

Yes, I used the version 2 SNES mini. I'm keeping this one, but I'm currently making an identical one for somebody I know through the benheck.com forums.

In my opinion, playing Super GameBoy on this is the height of irony

Unh

You have great talent and skill and it shows. Portable versions I have seen look kinda weird or out of place. But dam, the end product looks fantastic and shame you don't have a business for it.

Oh well, if you start selling portable versions of console systems, I'll be your first customer.

Impressive, great attention to detail!

[Dark_Sol]

Amazing!

[Frankie_Says_Relax]

Nice job!

How'd you get the recessed circle area around the D-Pad/pin hole speaker grills/etc.?

Was that all done by hand? (If so, great job!)

[MrRoboto19XX]

So clean and smoothly produced, well done!

[MeTmKnice]

I want one!!

That's pretty cool...looks like a SNES version of the Nomad. What's the battery life on that beauty?

[Jimid2]

A terrific job! A very well designed and executed handheld. I'm quite impressed!
