Question

Stumbled upon this just today when making a run through the Wikipedia... I think some of you might find it at least interesting.

:blink:

That guy's creations really broke my weirdness limit for today. SNES not much larger then a Game Boy Micro... wow. k:

And it looks like I got infected... now I am thinking if it would be possible to miniaturize a 486 in a similar manner. (yeah, there are 486 laptops... but that just isn't the same) :crazy:

Ah, I remember these. He made a few questionable design choices in a few, but overall, nice.

I'm not sure if he sells them.
You can buy his book through Amazon and it's supposed to explain in an idiot-proof way how to build any of these. That's the only other option, sorry.
But if your father likes messing around with electronics, tell him about "that site you saw where that guy made a SNES into a handheld"... maybe he'll get interested.

You might want to ask on his forum - there is a number of people there who are building their own or have already done it - whether someone would either sell or make one for you. Also, I think that he's selling at least some of these things.

Wow. Just looked around a bit more... WOW.

Now, that one's definitely the most nut-case thing I ever saw...

WOW he made a PS2 one as well that pretty darn impressive.

I wonder if they all have 1.45 hours battery life akin to his PS1. Thats not really long playtime, like he said just long enough to cast 3 spells in FFVII LOL

I have built some robots and various robot and electronic kits so I can solder pretty well. Im sure I could do it if I put the effort in and manage to find a Mini SNES console for sale.I started searching for them but havent really come across any for sale yet.

Looking more into Ben's site it seems he will indeed build them if the price is right. From his Npod model article

"There you have it - my latest NES portable. This one has been sold already but if anyone else wants one like this model I can be convinced to build it pretty easily. (Money helps too) "

Dont know how much he would want though

I don't really like them. They look too bulky.
