What camera/lens do you use? Your pics are always awesome

Thanks! I use a Canon T1i with kit lens, and sometimes I swap the kit lens for my Canon 1.4 50mm Prime Lens.

Even if you did get it smooth again, It would still look like poo.
The only way to make it look nice again would to be buy a new shell or repaint it.

Is there any place where I could just buy a new shell for it?

I get a bunch of stuff from Ebay,
I don't personally deal to much with anything away from e-bay sorry to say.

Not so much the laser as it is the motor that moves the laser from the edge to the center. Burning at low speed as possible, having dummy files, etc. minimize the motor movement.
I do appreciate the warning though! ;D
The SNES is my main system anyways, that gets more play than any other system I own...

chipping (for imports) is the way to go...
...no idea about homebrew, but is there any decent hb besides emulators??

Bah, boot discs can be burned for free ;)

Bah its a hassle. Some bootdiscs dont work well with VGA boxes, and some that do, wont boot a game in VGA even if the game supports it. Once in a blue moon can I get Shenmue II working in VGA.
Its also as hassle if you do a lot of importing.

But it's free. Better way to figure out if it's worth it, or if you're not planning on owning a zillion imports.
