    Default Replacement Shell for SNES?

    Does anyone know of a place I can get a replacement system casing for an SNES? I just picked one up for free, but it has a huge crack in the side of the system. Any ideas?

    Get a dead system and swap guts, because there is no such thing otherwise. Third party plastic shells were more of a Playstation / Dreamcast domain.

    I bought a Super Famicom at a thrift store, but the video RAM was bad and gave me distorted graphics. I loved the case so much that I opened up my trusty SNES and did a mobo swap; it fit just fine...

    Really? Interesting. How'd you get the SNES Carts to fit in the slot since SFC carts are smaller.

    Default Needle File

    Well i no a guy who mods pal super nintendos with 50/60hz switches and he can widen the cartridge slots with a needle file. Its quite simple and does a tidy job if you do it right.
