Couldn't find a good cib for my life so I bought this on auction sniping it at the last minute. Now to enjoy a classic

I think the Super Nintendo is the best video game console ever. Here are a few acrylic paintings I made from some of my favorite snes games. I hope they bring back good memories!

Holiday sales were good to me, about a week ago I was only 20 away now only 7 cheapies. Yeah Me

They belonged to her late husband, apparently an older gamer. Also found a boxed snes, gba, ds, 3ds xl, gamecube, and other stuff. I was able to snag all these CIB snes games, she would've given them to me but I paid her a fair price. I'm also going back next week to see what else I can get, but taking her a CRT because she wanted to keep the systems and some games.

It took me a little over a year but I’ve finally completed my full size four player Super Nintendo Arcade Cabinet!

Development of ZSNES began on 3 July 1997 and the first version was released on 14 October 1997, for DOS.

All 4 Goemon games and the beers were still cold!

It's in a cardboard box so it must be true

It’s been a long journey, but I think the CIB collection is finally complete (Aside from two or three games that I may never be able to get at this point). Countless hours have been spent enjoying these - and will continue to play for many years to come :) . This is a fair representation of all my favorites. What are some of yours?

I've spent the past 1-2 months slowly acquiring everything I needed to build an SNES that should last. I was playing on a loaner from a friend, turns out it was suffering from PPU failure, so I gave it back to him for hospice care so he can enjoy it while it's still working. Would have loved to fix it but I didn't have the expertise to even attempt to fix it and everywhere I looked for guidance on swapping chips all led to "just buy another unit."

I was able to get the internals of a 1CHIP-02 for a "reasonable" price and stuck it in a BitFunx shell that I think ended up looking really clean.

I specifically wanted a 1CHIP because I need this thing to be reliable. These units having supposedly better picture quality is a nice positive but the real benefit for me is the hope that this is a longer lasting unit since it's newer and has the consolidated chip and less points of failure. I never got to play the SNES on original hardware as a kid and am just now diving in in my 30s so I have a massive catalog of games to play and hopefully this will last for at least the next 10 years.

I also have the HD Retrovision cables on the way, S-video signal looks great but the brightness of the signal from the 1CHIP is really hard on the eyes and I don't want to have to mess with settings every time I switch between consoles so I ended up dropping the money for component cables. Not to mention since the goal of this project has been longevity these cables were an inevitable purchase.

EDIT: I plan on re-capping the board within the next several months, just started learning how to solder and would hate to ruin this thing by going into it half cocked.

All original boxes and games

Brings back some great memories.

My wife and I finally moved to somewhere with enough space for me to have a bit of a game room. I was pleased I was able to fit the full North American set + my 700+ hacks/repros/homebrews on the same wall. The first 4 or 5 shelves are the NA library (MBR/SR combo cart still on my wishlist, I am saving for it though). Every game has the original box, manual and game specific poster or registry card (except Home Improvement which I noticed only after putting them all up, so I'm on the hunt for that game specific one). The stuff on the right is rare homebrews and hacks and repros (Timewalk complete regular boxed release set, tons of Fishyface stuff, etc). I'm glad I've only focused on the SNES, makes things so uniform and easy to display. Not in shot: My table top kiosk and a handful of other repro items like Shadowhawk and the Fork Parker limited edition.

Long live the Super Nintendo.
