Downing's SNES-001 Advanced COMPLETE!!! 6/18

[GameMasterGuy]

Any plans on selling these? Once I'd get the money, it would easily warrant a $150-200+ purchase!

This is like what the WiiU is going to be like... except this is better.

Because it will come out first, have tons of great titles at launch, and not be awkward to use? I say that beats out most system launches period. (Remember when Amazon sold more used SNES units than PS3's? I smell that happening again.)

Ideally it would be nice to sell these at that cost, but honestly it cost me more than that I parts alone.
Snes w/2 controllers is about $60 alone. Two screens is about $40. Plastic and wood for controller shell and mold is about $20 and all the other misc costs like spray paint, wires, solder and extra cable, this project cost about $180 out of pocket and that doesn't even include the 20 hours I've got into the project already and I'll another 20 before its done.

So yes, I do plan to sell but like any one-off project, they are going to be expensive. Unless I could take it to market which wouldn't happen for a number of reasons, custom hardware like this is going to unfortunately remain pricey. It's the time. If I sold for $200 ill have made $.50 an hour and that simply will not do. Hehe.

Got the second controller case formed and laid out yesterday. Hopefully over the next few days I'll have a lot of time to make a lot of progress. Still waiting for the screen and a few other parts, but I should be able to get the painting of the controllers done and ready to start wiring.

How about $250? heheheh...

Nice work, man.

Not much new, not missing anything. Ran into a few snags that I'm working though with shielded cable and grounding. Gonna have to add a couple attachments to the cable to make work but I've got a plan! We'll see if it pans out.

I have no idea what this is (too lazy to read details) but it sure looks cool

It's basically Wii U + SNES. Must I say more?

Those console cloning companies should hire Downing for sure.

haha, well that would go against my principles I'm afraid. Don't care much for the clones, though they do play the part well. One-off and proto typing are things I love doing. When my new vac former get's built, that's gonna be some seriouse modding power in the case and custom design field!

As for this project, hope to have a bit more progress done this evening. Not had the time to work on it this week saddly.
