RIP Overhauled Portable SNES

[schmellyfart]

I feel that my Overhauled Portable SNES deserves a new thread

Unfortunately I dropped it and busted the screens ribbon cable connector More details in the video.

Here's the Original

Changes made: filled in brightness, volume, start, and select button holes on the front, gave the bondo a much needed fixing up, added speakers, switched from a mini snes to a retro duo, filled in the old shoulder button holes and moved them to the shoudler, moved start and select to the back, as well as the volume control buttons, filled in the old "plugs and switches" holes. aka psone memory card holes, anti glare mod, extended the sides of the cart slot cover, switched ABXY from tact switches to the "board and membrane" type, filling in unneeded screw holes, and last but not least, it is now powered by internal 4000mah LIpos.

Specs: 2 3.7v 4000mah Li-po Batteries, Retro Duo, Chopped-4 LED Modded-Anti Glare removed-Zenith Screen With relocated Volume controls. All inside a PSOne case

That sucks. Seems like the system would be kind of hard to hold with the buttons on top like that though.

You took mah secret button idea!!!

On a small N64p, I was gonna use tall tacts for buttons like you did for L and R.

Looks good, though. Sorry to hear it died.

Its the exact opposite, its much easier and more comfortable than having them at the bottom of the unit. This way I can grip the entire system and not have my hands cramp up Like on the PSP.

Now you need a new avatar, preferably on benheck and modretro.

Edit- how 'bout this?

 

[snowpenguin]

Wow schmelly, that sucks, it really is good.

 

[J.D]

Hmm, I'd prefer my controls between the top and the bottom.

As soon as I finish my EplisionNES, I'll make a RetroUno portable.

Title provided as requested! Well done!

Thats a good place too, I forgot to add that they are also up there because of the screens mobo('twas before sifus massive screen reduction) and I didnt want to put them in the middle because of the disc lid. In retrospect I wont be putting them at the very top again because I need screwposts in each corner.

 

[Basement_Modder]

You can still put screwposts in the corner, you just need creativity!

For example, in the top left indent on the dpad, or in the top right indent between the X and A buttons.

 

[schmellyfart]

I meant screwposts that line up wit the original screw holes on the psone case.

Why would you want to do that?
Custom is much better, especially when you are using the case for pcb's it wasn't designed for.

 

[schmellyfart]

I didnt want to lose my countersunk screw holes.

 

[Basement_Modder]

They're easy to make!
Just drill a hole in the case thats a bit larger then the screw head, then put another layer of plastic under it and drill the screw hole in that. Viola!

Depending on the thickness of the plastic, you may need 2 layers of screw well plastic, then the hole. Its up to you.

 

[schmellyfart]

Hm, never thought of that. Ill definitely keep that in mind.

 

[Nintendott]

Aww man!!
Ultra Mega Hyper Bummer!


I feel sorry for you

Or you could just use a counter sink bit and achieve the same results.

I have no idea what this is, though.
