My desktop - Big picture of my SNES DS concept (Couldn't really be bothered designing a lid for it)

The NES gba was for the Mario's 20th anniversary though and I don't think there's any other dates worth commemorating approaching soon.

Yes! Thank you very much. Now all I need to do is design a cool looking switch for my portable.

I was just thinking, Nintendo made a NES style GBA micro, maybe they'll make a SNES style DS sometime in the future. That would save me a lot of work. I'm not counting on it though.

This may have been asked before, but I couldn't find any topic covering it. Is it possible to make a switch on my portable that can change the region protection of the snes (Thus eliminating the need for a bulky family converter or similar device)
I was pretty sure I read somewhere that you can do a ...

I'll throw in a gba and Pokemon Sapphire as well as the N64 stuff. That's my final offer.

Hey, I can still conceptulize for a console I don't own! Anyway, I'm probably going to buy one at some stage.

Well I won't be doing it any time soon, seeing as I don't actually own a DS...

Well, my idea was to cut a hole out for a plastic bit for the backing of the XYAB buttons. Sure the buttons would be a bit more close together than the diagram, but it would still look good. The holes for the control pad and Start/Select buttons simply need to be made bigger.

Yep, that's pretty much it. Paint the DS, pull apart a SNES controller and replace the buttons. You could even use the spare DS buttons to make a replacement SNES controller.

It all depends on the price. I haven't got that much to throw around (about $800 AUD). Whatever's cheap and fits in the case is the best option for me.

Sure, I'm working on a portable, but I thought it would be a nice change of pace to make a different kind of project. I was pulling apart my SNES for a portable when I suddenly thought, what am I going to do with the empty case? Then it hit me. Why not stuff a mini-pc inside of it.

My idea is to ...

Mario 64, DK 64 and Banjo Tooie. I've already sold all my other games.

1. The idea was originally just to make a DS lite that looks like a snes. The Starwing screenie is just there because it looks cool.

2. There is no way in hell that a SNES could fit in a DS, unless somebody magically pulls a SNOAC out of thin air.

If your still up for it, I can trade it for my N64 with 2 controllers + 3 games. Not much I know, but still, if your interested...
