Post by Mikeyman64 »

Hey everyone, it's me, though it's been so long since I've posted none of you probably know/remember me. :)


Here it is, my SNESp!!! After about 2 years of on-and-off work, plus a couple of SNES boards, it's DONE!!!

And that's that. I haven't named it yet, but I'll think of something.

There are about 7-8 people who still make portables. :P

Very nice! I've always wanted to take progress pics, but, I never find the time.

Very nice work! I really don't care for clear devices, but I think you may have totally changed my outlook! It's very clean-looking and extremely well done. Congrats on a brilliant job!

Two words from experience. Never route the power wire near any AV wires. You get a lovely wobble in your screen. ;)

And to comment on muthatrucka's post, they are great, as long as you use clear-drying epoxy!

Awesome choice with the ice-blue, and being able to see the guts is very cool. Nice portable. Now what you need to do is over-clock the FX chip in your Starfox game.

Well, since I had to destroy my last SNES to make this (I might be able to fix one that I though was fried) I haven't been able to play Earthbound, and I was about 3/4 through it! So once I finish that I'll look into OC'ing StarFox. :)
