A strong man who created palm-sized "Super Nintendo" with super cheap Raspberry Pi Zero appeared

Over 25 years since its launch, repair has been canceled already Even now Nintendo's popular game console "Super Famicom(Super NES) ". Its super NES, a cheap single board computer "Raspberry Pi ZeroA strong man who finished in a palm-level machine with a very small size appeared, and the production scenery is released in the movie.

SNES MICRO: Smallest Super NES - Raspberry pi Zero - YouTube


This is the palm-sized Super NES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) emulator "SNES MICRO". I am adopting a design imitating the Japanese version of Super Nintendo instead of American version.


The contents are Raspberry Pi Zero and USB hub.


The production of SNES MICRO starts from the point of making the inner part of the case (inner skeleton).


Cut out the plaque according to the "design drawing" ... ...


Bend the edge.


Then fix it three-dimensionally with instantaneous adhesive.


I will paint the gel-like reinforcing material with petapeta.


The framework of the case is completed like this. With this method it is possible to create cases overwhelmingly more quickly than 3D printers.


Continuing to make exterior. Cover the inner case with clay (plaster) ......


Cut the edge with a knife.


The appearance of Super NES is digging a groove by tracing with free hand using a stencil.


Attach a support post for combining cases ......


Drill a hole.


Embed the nut in the platter ... ...


It is OK if it fixes with instant adhesive. I also handmade fine parts.


When the exterior is solidified, scrape and scrape with sandpaper to smooth the surface.


When the surface is in place, paint the color.


Sprinkle repeated coatings and apply a number of coatings to make the surface as smooth as possible.


After painting, I like to reproduce the slits on the back of the main body.


Next I will drill a hole in the case so that I can access Raspberry Pi Zero and USB port.


Since the Super NES emulator is extremely small, parts of the USB port appear to take up considerable space.


The color imitating Super NES is painted by hand.


When the exterior parts are completed, solder it to Raspberry Pi Zero.


It is protected with tape so that solder can not be removed.


Since it is work inside a small case, careful work is required for circuit making. The USB port parts are for tablets.


Once the interior is completed, if you combine the cases with screws ......


Completion


The emulator was able to play Super NES game with a machine smaller than the game controller.
