Cool console mods!

[NESaholic]

I was just browsing in google when i stumbled upon this.

http://images.google.nl/imgres?imgurl=http://mywebpages.comcast.net/ben999000/on%2520forums/supxbox/xboxfront.jpg&imgrefurl=http://casemodz.cjb.net/&h=435&w=576&sz=45&tbnid=hFy_myF9HYwJ:&tbnh=99&tbnw=131&start=116&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dxbox%2B%2B%2Bcase%26start%

Anyone here ever modded his consoles like this?When i see this it's very tempting to do it too.

I haven't experimented with leds that much, but here is what my SNES looks like:

The switch on the top is for 50/60Hz, it plays PAL+JAP+USA games, and of course I have added a blue led as well :)

[youruglyclone]

that's pretty hot

[NESaholic]

yeah it looks great, i'm planning to mod one of my nes consoles,maybe make it a different colour only.

[Oobgarm]

Not much to say on that Xbox...but damn that SFC looks nice.

[Nesmaster]

That's gold? It looks more silver to me. Funny thing is, I painted my nes almost exactly the opposite of yours :D I'll get a pic up sometime soon.

[Predatorxs]

I like the Nes with all the blue led's and the cut out, on the top looks cool too, i might have to attack
my snes and see what i can do! :P

also here is a paint job i did on a Snes about a year and a half back!, i think most of the snes
collectors/gamers might have seen it before..

The pics aren't the best, but the next time you have the black killer instinct cart in your hand, it's a match,
i really should have, took a pic with the Killer Cart, instead of that cheap ass starfox cart! ;)

I want that N64. LOL

[atari_overlord]

Here is a picture of the nintendo I use. I did it a few months back and never got around to posting pictures. I would really like to do a Ninja Gaiden themed Nintendo sometime. Too many projects and not enough time.

HOT!

HOTTER!

I'll post pics later of my game cube - I had it modded at ColorConsoles.com - no idea if they even exist still. Got the cube colored emerald blue with black buttons and black disk lid. Changed the LED to Blue as well. It's much better than that forsaken purple. I hope they learned their lesson and never release anything in purple again.

Though i'm alwyas open to a system that's entirely in RED. 8-)

[aaron7]

I should try something like that, as I have like 10 NES systems! lol

I personally like this one, looks very professional. Kudos

[TRM]

Those NES systems are awesome. I wish I knew how to do something like that.

thanks a lot man. I worked hard on it. It was my second video game custom paint job. This is not a console but it was my first. It is one of the Pelican Real arcade joysticks. The gamecube version. Finishing something like that makes me want to paint everything I own. I am trying to talk my girlfriend into letting me do the microwave.

I unfortunately don't have any pics, but I love to customize my systems. Just about every system I have has something unique about it. Basically, I put blue LEDs in almost everything. My XBox & PS2 have chrome skins in green and blue respectively, and I put a lighted jewel in the XBox.

[qbertandernie]

i might experiment...i bet the ebay kids would buy a painted system if it looked good.

[Cauterize]

that ikaruga arcade stick is so amazing!!!!!!!
how long did it take you to do?

Also how hard is the 50/60hz switch to make on SNES? i need to do one

[atari_overlord]

Only about a two days, and that includes paint drying time. I removed the parts and painted the top all white with spray paint .I just Used a photocopier to enlarge the cover of the game to the right size. Made a stencil out of that. covered the entire white top with masking tape. Used the stencil to trace the graphic on and cut it out of the tape with an exacto knife. sprayed all black let dry and enjoy.

[slip81]

This thread has inspired me to mod something. I think I'll start off simple by taking a spare SNES and painting it to look like a Famicom.

[klausien]

You have to post some pics to let us all know how it goes!

[joshnickerson]

The only mod I've ever had done is having my platinum Cube's orange LED replaced with a blue one...

[charitycasegreg]

that nes with the window is kinda cool! I like the super famicon as well. I will keep a couple nes's to experiment with when I sell my extras next week.

[Jibbajaba]

My SNES is all yellowed. I should paint it a different color. Painting it purple to match the power and reset buttons would be kind of cool....

I am starting to mod my dc. i have a friend that is good with soldering, so he is going to install my led's. I already have the clear red shell for it. I plan on putting blue led's in the controller ports, power light, and fan. in fact, as long as i get ahold of the guy, it will be done within the next couple of weeks

[NESaholic]

Alright,this sounds all good, i will start on sunday and see how far i come and then ofcourse post some pics.
To be continued.... 8-)

[Predatorxs]

Does anyone here, have any rough diagrams on putting L.E.D's in consoles, i know how to soilder and have a rough idea about resistors, but if any of you guys could shed some more light on the topic, that would be great thanks..

In diagrams i mean what resistors to use, and what area's of the console, to use to power the L.E.D's..... that type of stuff? :roll:

I was thinkin of a Black snes with red or blue L.E.D's hidden in the cart slot, so you'd have light, coming out of the gaps around the snes cart, once it's plugged in and the console switched on, maybe do something with the nintendo logo at the back of the console??

[The Manimal]

I am in need of info on modding a NES 2 for A/V output.... I'd prefer to use separate audio and video jacks instead of a headphone jack, but both would work...


The pictures and instructions I've found online aren't good enough :(

[Lord_Magus]

I need information to mod my NES\Atari\Saturn\microwave\etc.
For all you modaholics out there, some very good sources of information:
http://www.gamesx.com
http://www.mmmonkey.co.uk/console/index.htm


How hard is the 50/60hz switch to make on SNES?

The SNES 50/60Hz mod is listed on both sites, and is relatively easy to do. If you don't have any previous experience at soldering, you should first experiment a bit with an old PC card or something, just to get used to lifting a few pins, connecting some wires etc. When you decide to do the 50/60Hz switch mod, you should also disable the lockout chip; this will enable you to play imports as well. ;)

[NESaholic]

This sunday i will take pics of first modded parts... 8-)

[NESaholic]

Here's some other stuff i found, mega great stuff.

what kiind of paint do you guys recommend using to paint consoles?
Also, nice nice systems guys, u gave me some ideas, thanx

Krylon Fusion is made for plastic... unfortunately there is a limited selection of colours...

You should also use a couple of coats of clear coat.. so that when the inevitable scratches occur, you only lose clear coat...

[Lost Monkey]

I did this recently:

and it is for sale...

Now I have to mod another one for myself... :P

[Richter]

what kiind of paint do you guys recommend using to paint consoles?vinyl dye, actually goes into the plastic rather than coloring the surface

[qbertandernie]

that n64 would be cooler if you used a translucent console...still rocks, however.

[Icarus Moonsight]

This SNES was my first whack at modin'. I had alot of funny painting it, but I'm not quite ready to take on more ambitious things like LED's or changing anything that's required to function. LOL Someday I tell ya... someday.

Sorry you guys i didn't have any time to even start to mod my Nes,this week i will try my best to start the mod.Pics soon!

@atari_overlord

re: your "rising sun" snes and ikaruga arcade stick

"I'd hit it!"

[Gunstar_Hero UK]

Wow, atari overlord, love the Ikaruga arcade stick.
I've always sort of been anti-modding but, i've got a dead n' yellow NES lying around somewhere.. Time to get the paints out!

[qbertandernie]

ACIDIC PAIN: how did you duplicate the super nintendo logo?

or is it raised on the newer units?...

[Icarus Moonsight]

The red part of the snes logo is raised from the plastic. The black "Entertainment System" part is recessed. Also the small nintendo logo at the top right is also recessed. Takes a very fine brush to do the recessed areas... surgeon's hands also helps. It's just a paint job... no stencils or anything else that's real fancy. Classic NES Gray/Red/Black, for interest the grey is actually Hammered Aluminium.
