@TheJullasicFox i would try a light scrubbing with a wet mr clean magic eraser. Dont scrub too hard cause it can scratch the plastic but i think that should clean this up very good. This doesnt look like a "yellowed" system from the pic.
-
@TheJullasicFox I'd take it apart and give it a good scrub as @edmaul69 said, but you definitely don't have a yellowed unit. I don't know that you'll need peroxide, just a bit of elbow grease.
For the power button you can wire the stock Nintendo switch up to a Mausberry circuit very easily.
Keep us posted on your progress and don't be afraid to ask for help. I've learned a TON from this community as I've built my Super Famicom project.

@TheJullasicFox as with @obsidianspider doing a super famicom/euro snes, i have done a us version super nes. I can help you with stuff as well. Just dont be afraid to ask us.
-
@obsidianspider Sorry, the lighting in the picture was crappy.
-
@TheJullasicFox No need to apologize. I wish my Super Nintendo from 1991 looked that good. You can wash off that crud, but mine is very yellowed.
-
@TheJullasicFox If anyone is wondering why its taking forever, its because I am waiting to get my SNES screwdriver, which the order says it will come sunday, but i don't think my postal service delivers on sunday, but I guess i'll find out!

@obsidianspider Yeah, I was thinkin' bout that mausberry circuit. Thanks for the tip. Like I said, I have a portable charger (PocketJuice) that has a power button, so I just turn the switch into a button and have a washer press down on the PocketJuice's button.

@TheJullasicFox You're fine. My Super Famicom took three weeks to get to my house from Japan and then when things were about 90% complete my project stalled and it's been almost month while my friend who is working on designing and 3D printing a part for me is in the middle of buying a house.
-
@TheJullasicFox One neat thing about this community is how different people come up with solutions. I'm looking forward to watching your build.
-
Okay guys. Thanks for all the support. I'll have the SNES open and with the Pi inside by Monday, however, on Wednesday, I am going on vacation, and will be back next Sunday. I'll keep you posted afterwards, and have a good weekend, sincerely TheJullasicFox :)
-
Okay! The SNES is open! So here I go, with my process. Stay tuned!!
-
So its taken apart now!
-
@TheJullasicFox Here it is!

@TheJullasicFox Sorry my photography is horrible. I'm using a MacBook.

@TheJullasicFox It's finished now, but I will make edits later, like a functional power button and reset button Thanks for joining me!

Okay, It's been FOREVER, but I'm coming back to this project. I am going to order the parts soon. This forum isn't dead!
