Just got a Super Nintendo (again)
Way back in 1996 when the N64 came out I stupidly sold my Super Nintendo to Funcoland (old gamestop)
Yesterday I came across a lot of Super Nintendo stuff for $150 games & console on craigslist.
Tonight I picked up the bundle
The pics below show what I got. All games came with boxes and manuals and are in like new condition.

I feel pretty lucky right now.
I'm interested in hacking it somehow. Anyone know any cool mods or hacking accessories to do with this piece of fine hardware? I'm looking to take off the tabs to try out pal games on it. I wish there was a flash cart for the system like the DS and R4.

Here's some stuff on modding a SNES to play games from other regions.Blasingame wrote:I'm interested in hacking it somehow. Anyone know any cool mods or hacking accessories to do with this piece of fine hardware? I'm looking to take off the tabs to try out pal games on it.

If you want to try this you may be able to clean up the snes to the way it looked before.

For those of you who want to know the reasons why old plastics turn yellow:

it's funny, as a kid we'd clean the nintendo games with a q-tip and rubbing alcohol. when the bottle ran out, we'd use hydrogen peroxide. for years we used hydrogen peroxide to clean stuff, and it worked. I even cleaned the yellow snes with it, but it didn't get rid of the yellow. I'm going to have to try this, my snes is just a tiny bit yellow.

Huh.
I was gonna suggest the peroxide, though I saw it discovered by the Transformers community.
They were using a glass jar/clear plastic bag and sunlight.
