Hey all,
About a year or so ago I posted in these forums about the NES PC I had built. Well, fast forward to today and now I've completed a SNES PC build. Originally I didn't intend to do a SNES PC, but I had received a lot of requests from fans of the NES one, so went ahead and did it. Here is the video for those interested. Enjoy!

I love the way you throw the HDD in the carts, both on the NES and the SNES. What frontend is that btw? I'm at work so I have the sound off.
EDIT: But ya, the mods are pretty strict about this sort of stuff. When I showed off my arcade cabinet, I had to get mod permission to show video of its frontend running, and they only gave me permission because I provided proof that I owned the actual PCBs for the games I was showing off in the frontend.
EDIT: Nevermind, I see now that you're using hyperspin. That's the same frontend I use for my cabinet:
You seem like a cool hobbyist. There are less strict forums out there to discuss this on, should this get banned. I'd love to keep chatting about this, may I suggest going over to sega-16?
I hope not, this project is fantastic
I keep wanting to do it but then I remember I'm lazy
How long did this take, start to finish?
The build only took 3 months to complete, and honestly that was due to lack of time. I would say making the video was the more difficult task.
Anyway, great work, great video and I'll take 4 of them SNES-PC's if you don't mind.
wait, what? what??
[checks internet]
....people gave that idiot $300k to make a movie?!?
god I hate people so much
Hahaha, I'd watch it
His movie is a review of ET
It's going to fucking rule
I've spent the last few days watching the entire AVGN library. Time well spent.
On topic though; how hard was it sourcing parts that would all fit in the case? Would a Mega Drive version be possible, given how thin it is?
Also, I feel like a fool for not remembering where the first song in your video is from.
Edit: All that said, I hate to think about the kind of risk you're potentially taking by publicizing something like this.
Thanks for the kudos. I'm not sure I entirely understand the risk in showing something like this. Nothing was pirated - again, just because I have a menu that represents the game, doesn't actually mean I have the game itself on the box. I'm surprised because no one seemed to worry about this sort of thing a year ago when I showed off the original NES. I guess times are changing.
EDIT: First song is from Star Fox, the background music during the controls selection. There is a list of music that was used in the video near the end of the credits.
I've actually been thinking about doing a Sega Master System PC... mostly for fun.
A lot of people have asked me to do a Sega system, but I never had a Sega as a kid (my uncle did, but I rarely came over to play it). So I dunno, I MIGHT proceed with the N64 build someday, but I think after that there's not much else to say for my childhood gaming experiences. Maybe I'll go backwards and do an Atari 2600 instead.
