Always liked SFC controllers more than what we got in the U.S., but that short cable is a real pain.While visiting the area, attendees can wear a magnetic wristband known as a 'Power-Up Band' (originally unhyphenated), which allows them to interact with various features in the area, compete with other attendees, and keep track of scores and items (such as coins and stamps) earned from such activities. Only other thing I've done with the lot of stuff I bought is taken a SFC controller and put the guts of my U.S. If I've got the space for both to be out, I can keep the SFC stock.

I usually hate cutting up systems like this, but they're literally spare parts that, at most, I might could resell for enough to barely cover shipping and eBay fees after they sat around for a few months.ĭoing this, I can have a modded plate I swap to if I feel like keeping the SFC hooked up and putting my SNES away in storage. If I end up with one nonfunctional console that can't be repaired in a good case, that's likely what I'll do. The only other thing I've considered is using some of the extra parts for case mods, but I don't believe there's enough left to work with (unless I just wanted to give the top plate and power/reset/eject buttons a paintjob). Modifying the plate on top of the system is just the only way I can think to repurpose what's left on them, considering the fact that the main cases have huge chunks of plastic missing from them. Still, they're extra consoles with horribly broken cases that I've put unrepairable motherboards into.

I've seen those, best deal I've found was about $20 on etsy. That way, I can have an SFC set up as my main console for playing SNES and SFC games, but be able to switch back to a stock SFC if I choose to later by just swapping the plate.Īny advice for doing this as cleanly and nice-looking as possible? Feel free to explain it to me like I'm an idiot. So, what I want to do is take the top plate off of the broken cases and modify them to accept U.S.

I'm just looking for advice on this specific thing I've decided that I want to do, which is shave away plastic without making it look any uglier than it has to.Īnyway, I just happen to have a few Super Famicom systems I bought to restore and resell, and a couple are broken beyond repair (short of possibly desoldering chips from a working unit) with damaged/cracked cases to boot. system to play Japanese games than vice versa. I also know that it's a lot easier to mod a U.S. Before I begin, I more or less know HOW to modify the console (cut away the plastic).
