If anyone was wondering my project didn't die, just have hardly any time to work anymore (stupid IB Biology Group IV project ). I have most of the case constructed, ill post some pics once its painted. Other than that I just need my new batteries to arrive and then ill be done woo hoo.

I don't think I could reasonably sell this one and make it worth my while. I haven't been able to find good deals on my supplies and its has cost me $120 just for the screen and the SNES. Including the other supplies, this has cost me nearly $200. Next time ill be more savvy and not waste as much ...

I don't know about this one, but I would be happy to make another one for you. I kind of want to keep this one, for you know, sentimental reasons.

Wah? It's floating!? I think you should just leave it like that!

Nah, it would get in the way.

Yes you could ground the lead from the LEDs to the same spot.

A microscopic update: I have wired the controller successfully and cut out the front panel. But unfortunately I have to rewire the cart port (blah). The ethernet cord wires I used are too rigid. Thats why in the pictures the game looks ...

His book says that that 2 on the SNES board in that picture is ground, and its not.

Thanks for all the feed back.

I have been working on it for a few weeks on and off, mostly waiting for supplies to arrive. All you see in the pic is about 6 hours work spread over 4 days.

I have an idea what the case will look like, sorta gameboyish style. I am working it out in Maya right now ...

Well, after many days of hair pulling and teeth gnashing, I have gotten thus far. Thanks to much help from you all of course. I have just got done wiring the cart port today. Now I just need to build the case.. oh boy. Ill be sure to update when thats all said and done. Until then wish me luck, ill ...

Go into a library and make humming noises while reading and see if people notice.

Cant we all just we all just get along? :(

Anyway, you shouldn't need anymore then $35 for the batteries. You might have a hard time finding the LEDs you would be looking for at Radio Shack. At least at the one near me they told me that that stuff isn't in demand as must so they got rid of it ...

Brian I love you. You were right. Ben has it backwards in his book. (I wonder why?)

... Are you serious? Wow I running upstairs right now to try that.

UPDATE: OMG Brian... it works.

Ok, so my new screen finally arrived and wired everything up to the mini according to Ben's book and the screen back light turns on but there is no picture. The buttons work indicating that at least the screen is not broken. But ether I am just not getting any video or sound, the system is not ...

Apparently this is not right because I can get the screen to come on, but the system does not appear to be, and I even tried attaching the 5v reg to it but still nothing.

^What bacteria said. Thats exactly what happened during my first attempt. ( It sucks ) No, you most likely did not over heat it.
