Twenty years ago, [Downing] would fight with his siblings over who got to watch TV. Obviously, this gave him the idea of putting a television inside his Super Nintendo controller, but at he tender age of 12, [Downing] had neither the experience nor skills to make that happen. Now that he’s older, and much less impressed by the Sega Nomad, [Downing] made his dream a reality (http://downingsbasement.wordpress.com/2012/06/18/the-snes-001-advance-is-ready-to-launch/).
Reading over [Downing]‘s madebybacteria forum thread (http://www.made-by-bacteria.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1202), he began the build by adding two controller ports and painting the system a classic Famicom red and white. The prominent feature of [Downing]‘s design – a display in each controller – are connected to the console through a second pair of SNES controller ports. Internally, the video signal generated by the SNES is broken out to each controller; the controller displays are just a small mirrored version of whats sent to the TV.
Like [Downing]‘s previous Genesis portable (http://hackaday.com/2012/03/11/geneboy-is-the-portable-sega-genesis-youve-always-wanted/), the SNES-001 is a master work of Bondo and vacuum forming. After the break you can see a few demos of what this console mod can do.
