I grabbed all the essentials, and using electrical tape I taped all the parts together in different configurations. The time had come to create a rough idea of how the unit should be constructed.

I decided the screen was suitable to my needs. But, would it be big enough? I realized I had to test it…. I had a 2 ½” screen laying around and decided to use it in the SNES portable. It turns out that I had the cartridge inserted backwards the first time! Ahem. Like Timmy T, I decided to give it one more try…Īnd there was light. The unit would not run off the battery it appeared!īut I knew I couldn’t just give up. Batteries, screen… To see if it workedīut nothing happened. (So much for saving the case)Īh! Look how small that circuit board is! It shouldn’t be hard at all to make this portable! I’ll be playing titles such as Star Fox, Super Metroid and Shaq Fu in no time! Hm… bet the circuitry is pretty small inside…Ĭurses! It has those darn Nintendo screws holding it together, the kind I can never get open! And I don’t want to ruin this case if the portable doesn’t work… Besides, how would I open it?ġ0 minutes of grinding later the SNES was cut apart, laid open to the world.

I had my eye on my Super Nintendo for a while… It was the new-style re-released kind….

I thought perhaps a cool new portable would give me a chance to revisit the games I might have missed. I then thought about what systems over the years that I had played the least (besides the Virtual Boy).
