Custom Homebuilt Super Nintendo Portable

This is a fully custom SNESp (Super NES portable) that I built back during my Freshman year at college. Inspired by Benjamin Heckendorn's work, I tried to include everything on this one. It uses a large-style motherboard (the big one) coupled to a Sony PSOne 5" screen with RGB connections. The RGB video is way better than the composite connection most people use when modding this stuff. The big-@$$ Sony NP-F960 battery on it in the video can run Super Mario World for about 6 hrs. Honestly, I've gotten tired of playing before running it dead. I usually use the lightweight small NP-F550 batteries.

The case was a custom design of my own using a technique called vacuum forming.
The SNES motherboard can be turned off independently (shown in the video) so another input can be displayed on the screen, such as a DVD player or whatever has Composite video.
The backlight is a cold-cathode bulb with lightbox pulled from a 4" screen of unknown origin. It uses about half as much power as the original screen's backlight.


And yes, I am that person of the same name from the BenHeck Portable Forums all those years ago.

@bobbysam232 I made the case using a technique called vacuum forming. I made a scale clay model of the case I was making, then used an oven to heat up a sheet of polystyrene plastic. Once the plastic was laid over the casting, a shop vac was used to pull the plastic around around it before it cooled.

Considering the amount of time that went into it, I'm not sure if some people would want to pay what I would want for it.
