Yeah, I didn't even think of that, but I totally looks like a bar of soap LOL!  That's gonna he my next product ;)

Hahaha, knowing how crazy you are with mods, I wouldn't be surprised if your soap could be used as a cell phone and could double as a wireless internet hotspot! Jk jk, but the stuff you come out with is really cool. I was looking at the back lights you added to all of your handheld systems, looked at my non-backlit handhelds, looked BACK the screen and began to envy your skills.  :D

Ahh, I gotcha.  Well, I put the logo on the bottom so as to not put anyone off should that be something that they're not OK with.  I'm at least gonna get quotes for decals that can be applied by the end user.  I'm definitely not gonna stick a SNES logo on the unit.  That's just asking for trouble.  But, decals are no biggie.  If the big N wants me to stop selling the decals, then I'll stop selling them.  I'd rather be stuck with a pile of unusable decals than expensive parts ;)

I could stick a little wiggy design logo in the upper right corner like the Nintendo logo on the SNS-001 shells...

LOL!


I've got tooling prices here along with price-per-part quotes.  One step closer to Kickstarter...

Nicely built but this upper right empty space cries for some kind of logo or other "thingy"....
2 + 3 = 23

I've put "thingy in the corner" on my list of to-dos ;)


Been working on a mini prototype today to go along with its big brother.

LOL!

So, programming the chips for the wireless controllers is sorta beyond my skill set.  I'm sure I'll figure it out, but if there's anyone that knows how to flash microcontrollers, then please let me know.  I'll try and make it worth your time if you wanna help me out :)
