The Black and Blue one is for sale at the Taylor Trade Center if you live in MI. I gave it to the booth owner, Game Graveyard, as a gift for donating 4 SNES consoles to me.
The Zelda one is also for sale by owner
I had a lot of fun making these, so I would definitely like to do more, and maybe even try a hand at other consoles in the future.
Thanks for the comments!
Oh yeah, I also have paint that identically matches the Original SNES color, so I can also "restore" your SNES and get rid of the regional lockout tabs while I'm at it.
-
Thanks for checkin it out
-
I would have posted these sooner, but my camera broke and I had to buy a new one.
Feel free to post feedback, but keep in mind these are my first attempts, so be nice!
Here is a video demonstrating the consoles: VIDEO
(the video may not be "processed" yet, I just uploaded it.)
Custom Legend of Zelda SNES
This is the third one I did. As all of them, I filed out the lock out tabs so you can play your import games, as well as the addition of a cool blue LED(litteraly, cool blue, they are not superbright. I like these better)
Black and Blue SNES
My second attemp at a custom paint job, turned out a lot better.
Red and Black SNES
First attemp, didnt turn out too great, but not completely failed.

I hate to see it all go, but I need to save up for a new transmission.. or vehicle.. which ever turns out to be the less expensive alternative...

I still collect them, got approx 100, but the new Tamagotchi are way expensive on ebay
Wow, thats crazy. Are they are "name brand", or different variations. Ebay prices on lcd games in general are very bad.. most virtual pets range $35-75 when most of them originally cost about $10-15, the same goes with Tiger Electronics handhelds..
Do you sell them too?
Haha, I just thought I would post this topic why I was thinking about the "collecting craze". Everyone was collecting these, Firbys, Beany Babies and Pokemon cards..
-
"When I was your age, I was raising Tamagotchi's, not babies"
I was going through some old junk in the basement recently and found a keychain with a Tamagotchi, a Dinopet, and "Chikapet".
It made me laugh, but I was young in the mid-late 90's, about 12 when the keychain pet craze hit. I was obsessed with these things for some reason, there was a point where I had about 8 of them on one keychain! Of course, I was facsinated with dot matrix/ LCD games in the 90's.
Finding them brought me back, I remember my cousin was the first person I knew who had one, I thought it was so neat, so my mother bought me a knock off version at drug store, which turned out to be better because it had two games instead of one, and there was "simulated weather", if a sun appeared you had to give it a hat, if it was raining, an umbrella, or if it was snowing, a scarf.
I recently found a new in the box one at the trade center for $5, so I picked it up and re-discovered the fun. Its no surprise that I like these things.. I love video games, I love hand helds, and I love games like Harvest Moon. I am already the geek guy that brings a Super Mario lunch box, thermos and glass to work everyday, I dont think I'll be any more geeky with a Tamagotchi on my keychain, haha.
Did anyone else like these, or remember the whole fad? Share your story!
-
I used to be (secretly) obsessed with these back in the late 90's when they came out. I think it has something to do with surprise and variation, the same reason I collect classic gaming consoles.
Any way, I recently found one of my old ones, and rediscovered the fun. Now I am looking for more. Have any in an old box or junk drawer? Crammed away in a closet or in a desk? Let me know what you have, pictures are always good.
I would really like to find the one I had, it looked like a Tamagotchi, but it was flat on the bottom, it had more options in the game, like it would rain and you had to give it an umbrella, I think it was called chickapet, there was also a dinosaur one called dinopet. Of course a lot of the same ones were released under several variations with different names.
I am not looking for modern ones like connection or the ones that come in a three pack that are "10 in 1".
I have problems.
-
Its not necessarily destroying the console. I recently modded some snes's and it was fun and easy, and I didnt damage them in any way. I did a custom LOZ SNES and it turned out great! I have seen other people do some pretty sweet mods too.
Of course, there is nothing I could think of to possibly "mod" any think from the Atari/ Coleco era. They look great just the way they are. I have always wanted to put the guts of a new computer into a vintage PC and put a slot loading DVD/R into the 5 1/4 drive though.
-
The chip still supports s-video as well as RGB. The pins on the chip just aren't attached to the AV port. It's extremely easy to restore full video functionality to the system. The video chip outputs a better signal than the chip on the older SNESes. So I guess what I should have said is that the SNES Jr. has a better video chip for those who are willing to "turn their own wrench" so to speak.
Chris
So what your saying is the SNESjr is easy to do an AV mod on. How noticable are the differences? Is it worth the effort?
Just curious, I have had a lot of fun modding the three SNES consoles I have done so far, if its worth the work I may pick up a jr.
I always heard that the INTV System III has better video and sound hardware that the first two, but I personally cant tell the difference.
-
i would pay someone good money for an SD card with all the games loaded onto them. i don't know how to do it myself.
FOR the record, i only have 2 games that are not original factory releases.i just prefer original carts/games.i never download anything from the internet....ever. no movies.music/games.
i only have a 2600 repro of spy hunter and pacman collection. that is all the 'pirated' games i own. i should sell them after this mess....
The point is, after knowing that this guy is selling homebrew ROM on the card without the permission of their rightful owners, I don't think many if any at all from here would buy it from him.
On the other hand, you really don't know how to get Roms and put them on an SD card? Its pretty easy, you just search the Roms you are looking for, can usually find a zip pack with all the ROM images in it. Get a USB flasher and an SD chip with a Micro SD adapter, put the Micro SD into the USB flasher, put the USB flasher into the PC's USB port, open up My Computer drag the Roms (that you rightfully own) into the flash drive..
Its both inexpensive and easy enough for a kid to do... no one needs to pay someone to do it.. and if you want to pay someone to do it because you don't feel like doing it yourself.. would you really pay Dave to do it, after this?
-
This whole thread is pretty scary.
Please guys, don't let this incident split up the scene and leave it shattered. There are too many hard feeling going around right now, and everyone needs to get their heads together.
One thing you should sincerely think of however, I SINCERELY doubt as many people have bought Dave's SD package/ CD as many of you think. In all honesty, here are two things to consider:
#1 Colecovision Roms are readily available.. freely available, ALL OVER the internet. You can get about every non-homebrew ROM via emuparadise, romnation, or any of the hundred others, as well as entire zips and rars containing every ROM image.. WHY would anyone pay some chump $20 for a fucking zip file, excuse my language.
#2 Who is the audience that your homebrew attracts, and is targeted to? Collectors. Hobbyists. Die hard CV fans. Do you for one seconds think that any of the above would rather pay someone for dirty ROM images and cheating you out of your hard work and money as opposed to having the much more priceless and valuable cartridge? I really doubt it.
Keep in mind, Atari Age has a great community, whether people are disagreeing at the moment, and arguing due to stress, most of us are on the same page. Everyone knows what David is doing is wrong, 98% of the community will follow that. Most of us here respect the developers here that much.
I would like to see that games that I am making box art for hit the shelves.. and not be stopped because of one ignorant person..
-
Cant wait. Working on the art for this one will be great!
-
System Shock II. If you can get past the first person view, it has a lot of role playing elements.
Also the later Phantasy Star games.
-
Good to hear its getting somewhere now. I thought it had already been approved
At least there is an estimated release now
-
What piece of crap! I cant believe he thinks there is nothing wrong with what he is doing.
I looked at the list of games included on his "SD package", and indeed homebrew games are one there, including ones that are still in the works/ yet to be released.
Not only is he hurting the community, but he is also illegally selling ROM images. I'm sure the Blue Sky Ranger, creators of Intellivision Lives! would not be to happy either that on the same page, he is also selling an Intellivision "SD package" for the CC, which also includes illegal copies of ROM images still being sold by BSR, as well as homebrew Roms!
Intellivision Lives! has a facebook, and there is a contact on the official website, perhaps someone should inform them with a link too..

It is an interesting article, one that like death, does not get brought up too often. Where will games be in 50+ years, how many people will still think of the Atari 2600 or the NES? How long will their memory exist into the future, before our generation slowly dissapears, and the memory is but some obscure data cataloged in the electronic human collective. Yikes, thats deep.
Well, so long as some or most of my electronic devices survive, the memory is safe with me. I have never been one to feel the gaming industry is hurt by emulation.. I have emulators for every system and plenty of games.. but for games I really enjoy, even obscure and rare titles, I do seek them out, and buy them for the actual console they are meant to be played on. (Not that its any more logical to buy a USED game that does not in any way support an obsolete game industry as opposed to using an emulator which also does not support the industry)
I just hope my child is interested in games enough to preserve what I pass down and not sell it all off
-
Later revisions of the SNES were also incompatible with the Game Genie. Not sure about the SNES jr. though.
Chris
Thats an interesting point. I can confirm the SNES jr. does work with the game genie, I dont understand why they would do that.
Anyway, the modding has been a success for the most part. Nice custom paint job on both units, removed the regional lockout tabs, and put in new leds. Replacing the power on LED was easier than I thought, uts just very tricky doing it without having to unsolder the 14 controller pins. This does involve snipping a peice of plastic on the inside, I'll post pictures in another thread when I have taken pictures of the modded consoles.
-
Thats strange. I have a 780i Element HD LCD set. It has a coaxial input on the side, I just plug the male double ended cable from the 2600 to a radio shack switchbox, and plug the coaxial out into the tvs coaxial in. Just gotta make sure the tv and 2600 are set to the same channel and the switchbox is switched to "game" or "computer".
-
That does make sense that they removed certain unnecessary things to reduce cost. I just thought it was interesting that one used Panasonic while the other used Sony, especially considering that Nintendo later had a sour "break up" with Sony over pricing issues over the proposed Nintendo Playstation.
-
I noticed something interesting that caught my attention while I was modding two SNES consoles. At first glance they appear identical. When turned over, I noticed the one with the lower serial # had only two rubber feet, the FCC label was stamped into the molding, and the patents where different.
The console with the higher SN had four rubber feet, the FCC label was a sticker, and the patents of course had different numbers. Not too strange right?
Well upon opening cracking them open, I noticed they had completely different hardware inside!
The model with the lower SN had no shielding over the main board, and all of the chips were branded Sony. There was no visible sound board, just a bank of chips, again labeled Sony.
Now the one with the higher SN had shielding on both top and bottom protecting the main board. There was a very obvious sound board that was completely shielded and labeled "SHVC SOUND" branded Mitsumi EDIT: I wanted add to, the sound board was connected through a serial bus that is non-existent on the other model. All of the chips on the main board were branded Panasonic this time. The power switch now has a mechanic piece (that looks like a windshield wiper) that locks the cartridge in place while the power is on.
I thought it was interesting so I figured I would share. If anyone has a story behind the transition, please post some info!
The switch to Panasonic was probably for the better, as the hardware seems more solid and well protected.
-
This must be a joke topic. Because that stuff is WAY over priced.
Like I already said, I was going off his price for Masters of the Universe Powers of He-Man for Intellivision, which was CIB with the comic for $20.
After looking at the prices he has on all the items that made me drool, yes, he is over priced.
Can somebody lock or delete this thread? I feel like a jackass for even posting it...
-
Yikes, I didnt look at all of his prices, I was going on the INTV Master of the Univiers Power of He-Man CIB with the comic that came with it for $20, which is a super deal. Thats how I found his store, by searching INTV.
The rest of his stuff, definitely pricey, but seeing all of the N64's together and all of the Generation Nex consoles makes me drool a little.
I guess this guy is a scalper, obviously very loaded to have all of this.
And on in my title I mean "on eBay", not "online", I dont think this post particularly belongs in /Auction Central either, as it is not a particular auction, but rather an entire store I was posting about, but move it there if you wish.
-
eBay Store: Dicks-Vintage-Video-Systems
Complain about it being eBay, but this guy has a LOT of really good stuff. Prices very from really good to I wish I had more money.
He has tons of boxed heavy 6ers, as well as ALL of the funtastic N64's!
This has got to be one of the best eBay stores, there is so much stuff!
-
Some people may dislike the d-pad, but there is a simple solution. Make it like Gravis did, with a joystick attachment that screws into the d-pad.
Personally, I think its pretty great. Funny thing is, I had this same idea, but for Colecovision/ INTV. The idea would be a number-pad, and a joystick attachment that could be placed above or below the number pad. It would be a great USB controller for use with emulators like Nostalgia or BlueMSX.

Two out of the three were definitely "smokers edition". Hopefully I can find more of them at low prices, because I had an awful lot of fun doing these.
Krylon Real Stone, model paints (spray) and plenty of clear coat gloss.
