SNES and N64 matching paintjobs

Post by Paradox295 »

So, I saw a SNES in a local shop for kinda cheap, but it was REALLY yellow, so I was looking at case mods, but uh, long story short...

Will I be able to mod a SNES so it looks like the N64 (Kinda like this guy has done: http://kaikoshumi.webs.com/supernessupermod.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), and stick blue or green LED's in there, even though I'm a complete and utter noob?

And if so, are there any guides/tutorials out there?

If you just want to repaint it, that shouldn't be too hard to do. The key is getting those darn nintendo screws out. You can find a special screwdriver to do it, but there are a few other special tricks too (just check the stickies).

If you're talking about placing the SNES board inside an N64 case, that shouldn't be too hard either I wouldn't think. You could go the cheese route and just hot glue the living snot out of the SNES board to the inside of the N64 case to make it hold :lol:

LED replacement would be pretty easy too, so long as you have basic soldering skills ;)
