Snes Shell Mods


these hole will be expanded and used as exhaust “nostrils” since you can’t really see them for any view besides the bottom
I still want to retain the sleeper look as much as possible

For even more cooling, I decided to cut out the bottom and leave the fans exposed

Cartridge Screen Mod

We were going to use a screen on the cartridge, but it mysteriously broke and welp, there goes that xD

I believe I can make the controller ports Polymorphing because both USB and SNES controllers use 5v and has 2 unused pins

I can have a SNES controller port to USB adapter plug to plug in type A things or use a standard SNES controller and have it go through a converter as a USB controller
