Pi Inside an SNES.
-
@Darksavior thanks! :3

Ok, so I got the screwdriver I need, and I took apart the SNES. Looks pretty good.
I'm thinking of scrapping all of the ideas I had and instead will just use the case itself. -
@itsnitro if you conected the retroede through ub i think it will be recognized as a usb drive then use this video
to setup loading from usb -
@itsnitro It's easy to wire up the factory controller ports to an adapter from Raphnet. The reset button can be wired to GPIO to do whatever you'd like. The power switch can be connected right up to a Mausberry. You have lots of options. What are your new goals for the project?
-
Alright, so here's what I want to be done in this project.
- Fit a Pi inside an SNES.
- Make the Power and Reset Buttons work.
- Make the cartridge slot actually usable.
Number one is halfway there. I've taken apart the SNES and I am close. There is one part, however, that is bothering me. I cannot seem to take apart the backplate where all of the slots should go.
Now I would 3d print a new one if I had a 3d printer, yet I don't. So i've really stopped there. -
@itsnitro The back plate is integrated into the motherboard. You're going to have to permanently ruin the SNES board to use that plate.
The power button can be set up easily with a Mausberry or ATXRaspi.
You can wire up the Reset button to GPIO to do pretty much whatever you want.
What do you want to do with the cartridge slot?
-
@obsidianspider I want the catridge slot to actually be usable and play SNES Games.

Alright, so since summer is coming up here in the US, I'm thinking it's time to start to get back on this project.
First, I'm stuck on trying to remove the backplate. Apparently it's soldered in somehow. So, I'm gonna need something to remove it. Any ideas?
Also, I have a few things on my checklist to buy:- Mausberry Circuit
- Some wires
- The thing you use for soldering
And that's about it. Anything else I would need to get?
-
@itsnitro How are you going to connect controllers? Are you using the stock Super Nintendo controller ports? That's something you'll need to consider.
-
Maybe the stock Super Nintendo controller ports.
