Super Nintendo – PAL SNES
Here is a guide to modding the full-sized SNES, covering how to open it up, remove unwanted ports, relocate the game cart port, video, powering the system, trimming the board and advice on other relevant matters about modding the system.
Had to break the guide into multiple parts as otherwise the .PDF didn’t work. ;)

Other information
There is a very good section on this site for doing an RGB cable, region and lockout modding (to play NTSC) and replacing the fuse if you mod your SNES without turning the system on with power off, to discharge the capacitors.
I finished my first portable, a SNES, and thanks for all the help! I’ve been playing it for about 15 hours over the past couple of weeks with no major problems. I was playing it tonight, heard an audible pop, (similar to when the system turns on or off) and the sound stopped working. I can’t find anything obviously wrong. Any ideas what the problem might be? Is there a fuse I should be looking for?
Sounds like a component blew.
Post pics, etc on my forum for us to see.
Great instructions! I appreciate the level of detail.
Many thanks, pleased you like the site!
where did u find the pal snes i looked on ebay and other places and i cant find it
There are plenty about on ebay; if not, car boot sales.
idk, doesn’t sound as good as the other ones, but good nevertheless
It says this file is damaged and cannot be redaired. can you please email me parts 2 and 3 at wangtrevor@ gmail.com
Just checked, they download fine. The files take several seconds to download. I assume you are using a PDF reader program, preferably one like Foxit that shows the PDF file in a browser?
The old PDF guides will all be replaced by new YouTube videos in time.
have you made a portable snes?????
No, but I did a fair bit of modding to one for the old Multi system and got it working fine.
When I make the integrated console system (got to think of a name for it BTW), I will be doing a SNES again, this time making the board smaller…
yes u should make a snes portable that will be my next portable also nice n64 portable need some batteries and a charger any recomendatoins ? thanx
Depends on what you want to achieve, space you have, etc.
call it the into16!
If I made a SNES portable and used my old casings i’d have probably called it simply IntoSNES.
