Super NintendiPi Entertainment System

[TheJullasicFox]

Here it is. My first build. I ordered a NTSC Super Nintendo off of eBay for a cheap price, and it arrives later this week, so development will be below in the comments area. I plan to have a power button, but I have no idea how to go about it, I'll probably use my pocket juice thingy, which plugs into the micro usb slot, and it also has a power button which is awesome, but I'll have to change the "slide" feature of the power button to get it to work right. I'm using a Pi 3, because it is faster than the previous ones. However, I get the rainbow box with PocketJuice, so I'll figure something out

The bad news is that the system has stains on it (that look like coffee). I plan to put peroxide on it, and if that doesn't help, I'm going to just use paint, if that's safe. I heard the peroxide method is time consuming, so tell me if there are any other methods PLEASE!!!

Yes, use peroxid with 35% concentration.
Set the solution to a hydrogen concentration to 4 (pH 4) and use UV light.

Or buy annother case :) The yellow ones are the first generation of US and Japan cases. Buy a PAL from Europa :)

The Super NES is here!

@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.

[TheJullasicFox]

@obsidianspider Sorry, the lighting in the picture was crappy.

[obsidianspider]

@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]

@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!

[TheJullasicFox]

@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.

[obsidianspider]

@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.

[obsidianspider]

@TheJullasicFox One neat thing about this community is how different people come up with solutions. I'm looking forward to watching your build.

[TheJullasicFox]

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 :)

[TheJullasicFox]

Okay! The SNES is open! So here I go, with my process. Stay tuned!!

[TheJullasicFox]

So its taken apart now!

[TheJullasicFox]

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

[TheJullasicFox]

@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!
