as many of you might know... i am making a snes portable, and i have been working on it since June. i got it working once but now currently isn't working.

Coolness. Tip about pictures - photobucket lets you resize your pics so that you could post them here. Just sayin'...

lookin good, but it looks like you put a lot of bondo on at once. if you do that it cracks so layers are a little better

Lookin' good! What screen are you going to be using, because it doesn't look like there is much room in there...

those pics are a little out of date, as i have rebondoed it and it looked better, but it is not done being painted so i will post new ones when the painting is done:)
edit: the screen is going to be 5 inches, yeah the insides fit, but just barley, but thats what screwing the case shut is for:)

?

Anyway, looks great so far

I noticed you're doing the n00b cartridge method, as I am doing as well, where the cartridge sticks out perpendicular to the case. How do you plan on fastening the cartridge so it doesn't wobble? I lack ideas.

dont think of it that way

think of it as a way to have a more slimline and smaller case

does your cartridge really need support though mine is fine just sticking out

oh great, i have tried many times today, but i can't get the led mod to work, the screen turns on, but the leds don't turn on, any thoughts on a problem?

Tried this?: http://www.benheck.com/phpBB/viewtopic. ... 9&start=17

Also, the LED wiring is rpetty simple. There's a + side and a - side. Make sure the longer sides go to the regulator. And the other side goes to ground. CHeck +5V is going from the regulator into the LEDs. If not, try the mod above, and check your wiring/LED directions.

PS @ Turbo:

My SNESp will be thinner than your newest one, if all goes to plan. (Although things usually don't for me, so feel free to use this quote against me around march break)
