Below is the original listing from the first version of this system I sold, this one has an updated PCB that fully integrates the cartridge slot. Functionality is exactly the same as below but internally it looks nicer (see photo).
I've now started working on version 3 so I selling this one to make room
-------------------------------------------
Relive the classics
with this truely unique console - so unique it’s the only one in
existance, this is the first one I built and I’ve since made a second
for myself so this is up for sale.
Custom built using an original SNES with every effort made to keep the
look and feel of the original, in fact I went thought about 6 SNES units in the development of this and the case presented here is the best I could find - very good condition considering the age and very minimal yellowing. There’s plenty of simiar products
available but invariably these are nothing more than just a Raspberry Pi
in a case and even where the case is the original console shell they use
USB controllers cut into the shell ruining the original, nostalgic look
and feel.
The
following features set this unit apart:
- Almost
indistinguishable from the original SNES console (apart from the HDMI
port in place of the old Multi-out port - see photos).
- Original power jack
used (appropriate USB to barrel jack cable supplied - do not use original SNES power supply as it will damage it).
- Custom PCB
interfaces the origial controller ports to a Rasperry Pi 0 - use
original controllers.
- Power and reset and eject buttons function as they
should as does the original power LED. Power supplied via a safe shutdown circuit to correctly
shut down the Pi - always power off using the SNES switch, allowing the LED to go out before fully removing the power.
- USB and WIFI connectivity provided via a
modified game cartridge (setting WIFI requires the use of a USB keyboard - not included). Cartridge houses a 4-port USB hub, 3
outward facing ports with a WIFI dongle conceled internally in the
fourth. Also, custom artwork on the cartridge for that added
cool.
In the
box:
- Fully customised SNES
control deck; includes Raspberry Pi 0 fitted to custom build interface PCB running RetroPi 4.1 on a branded 16GB micro SD card.
- Two brand new original style SNES controllers.
- Custom USB/WIFI expansion
game pak.
- HDMI cable
- Power adaptor and cable.
I’ve only been using RetroPie
for SNES emulation (after all, it is a SNES) but the following systems are
already fully installed, just need to place ROMs in the respective folders for them to show up in the menu:
- Arcades
(MAME)
- Amstrad CPC
- Atari
2600/5200/7800/Lynx
- Commodore 64/Amiga
- Ninteno Game Boy
(Colour)/Advance
- Nintendo Entertainment System
(NES)
- Nintendo Virtual Boy
- Neo Geo/Neo Geo Pocket
(Colour)
- ScummVM
- Sega Master System
- Sega
Megadrive
- Sega Game Gear
- WonderSwan
(Colour)
Just a few points to note; this isn’t a consumer product, while
it will fully work as advertised straight out of the box; configuring new systems and future
software updates may require a level of “tinkering” please understand
this before buying - I cannot be held responsible for errors made in this respect. It should go without saying but a good
quality power supply should always be used as the “cheap” ones can give
the wrong voltage which may affect performance or even cause damage -
for piece of mind the one supplied is a spare iPhone charger (seem to
have gathered loads over the years!)
Just leaves me to say; UK buyers and PayPal only - thanks for looking!
