It's peculiar that I never got around to releasing the information I've been hoarding on a laptop since July 14, 2002 (yes, before my first two posts in this thread - pretty sure I wrote the information about the Lodgenet before I joined this site even; I was an "information packrat" even back then. Incidentally I should have the paper I mention in that thread, though it is probably for a British PSX Lodgenet-alike, NOT this SNES hotel system; I wouldn't take anything that wasn't paper).

Won't be formatted exactly right as it was in the *.doc file I used (where I tried to get the relative sizes and positions of elements right; didn't have a camera at the time).

Note: facts are free for use as per US copyright law, but please don't copypasta this entire thing without asking (I can provide the DOC on request)

[top of unit buttons read left to right, top first: buttons are set apart from unit top by depressed pattern of rounded square divided into quarters for each button
pair of yellow buttons on left, each triangular, top + and bottom –
faint pinkish eraser-like button, “ORDER”
light green button, “ON/OFF”

[Controller]
Black plastic. Shape is similar to Sega Genesis controller; a wide dogbone shape. Two raised circles contain gray directional pad (left) and (X, Y; light blue) (A, B; dark blue) buttons arranged in diagonal diamond. However, the labels for each button are rotated 90 degrees each button starting with A, directly below the right button, to the right of X, top button. Grey shoulder buttons; each labeled on the top near middle of controller and with a corresponding decal on the controller front. On front of controller in the middle lie four buttons: orange, both labeled “RESET” on left and “ORDER” on right; below that yellow “MENU.” To the right, “VOL” blue button “+” and “VOL” blue button “-”
Below THAT, two yellow buttons set at a slight angle. Above the top “SELECT,” above the bottom “START/ *” Below this is a decal: LodgeNet® in light gray. A nice controller with bad decals. Feels strong.

[Controller back]
Two clear rubber pads. Four screws visible below and to the sides of unit. Two silver stickers: “S2995” and oval “Q.C. PASSED” below is main sticker (not inset) reading:

LodgeNet™ Entertainment System
