Help on starting

[Chunk Aholic]

well my brother has been a member of this forum for awhile and I've seen some of the work he's done. I have helped on many projects and I think i'm ready to give it a try myself. he said that i should start with something a little less complicated and suggested i start out with a super nintendo. i would like to ask those who are more experienced with this for tips on starting or if i'm getting in way over my head. also, how much would a project on a super nintendo cost, i'm not looking at spending a fortune to make it look pretty, i would just like a working portable.

I'd say a budget of around $200 is pretty realistic.
