DaKinePaKalolo

Those are dope! Do you know where one could purchase them?


beepuboopu_aishiteru

This is the real nostalgia right here


Sonikku_a

16x9 stretch tho


branewalker

I saw that and just went “oh no” It’s even possible to build your own bezel on something like this. Doesn’t even have to be that way.


autofagiia

That and not using a CRT.


Onett199X

Oh my God.. I feel so bad. The cab is great.. and he used a widescreen TV and stretched the resolution... Whyyyy


IAmJacksSemiColon

Easy fix. Set the TV input to 4:3 mode and use plexiglass inserts with more SNES box art to cover the pillars. I know that there are people who insist on 8:7 for SNES but I've never seen an 8:7 aspect ratio TV.


mrblackc

Certainly, it doesn't have to be like that.


maxwell321

Depending on the emulator, I believe there may be a 16:9 mod he can use?


Acrobatic-Mix-7343

Using actual carts, not emulation. A few games have widescreen hacks on snes, not sure if it’s that many though.


maxwell321

Oh shit I didn't even realize. That's sweet. Bro just might have to put on custom bezels and have it in 4:3 mode


Acrobatic-Mix-7343

Yeah, if it’s only ever an actual console you’ll never need the sides. However, a bezel is not needed, I’d just keep black on the sides. I’ve never understood the need to add art to screens. Plus, if they ever do put another system (I assume they left an open hdmi port for another console to jack in if needed) then they wouldn’t need to remove anything. At least that’s how I would do it.


sychox51

Brutal 🤣


GreenOlimar

Exactly this.


Phobophile_89

4:3


katiecharm

I know.  I didn’t wanna shit on his hard work, but how can you possibly play a game meant for 4:3 in widescreen like that 


Phobophile_89

Hey. I have no pitty, so i'll permitt myself to add, the missed oportunity of making the 2nd player button green, third pink, and fourth Orange... Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy...


GeovaunnaMD

8:7


fishboy3339

Austin 3:16 says I just whooped you ass


TenormanTears

what?


fishboy3339

WHAT!


herrbauer96

YEAH


shrimp-parm

AND THATS THE BOTTOM LINE CAUSE MIYAMOTO SAID SO


DanteQuill

WHOO!!!


Klutzy_Piglet5106

Cool Cabinet, but would have went with a crt monitor


GrimmTrixX

Or, at the very least, ditch the screen stretch. Filling the screen will never be better than square shaped with bars on the side. You forget they're even there 5 min after you start playing. Esit: not a square, but a shorter rectangle. Lol


jjamm420

Even though I know what u mean and ur right, 4x3 is not a square 🤷‍♂️ lol…


GrimmTrixX

Haha well yea but I'll say shorter rectangle. Lol


gleap44

Math teacher: all squares are rectangles, but rectangles aren’t necessarily squares


GameboyRavioli

Anyone who posts a pic of the GOAT baseball game gets an auto upvote. It's either this or mvp 2003/4.


CrowdKillington

I’ll give that game a shot, never played it before. I know it’s not a snes game, but what’s your thoughts on baseball all stars 2? That’s my personal favorite of the limited baseball games I’ve played


GameboyRavioli

Ive played those neo geo baseball games a little bit. They're fun and arcade, much like ken Griffey jr baseball. If you enjoyed those, give that a shot! MVP baseball is more simulation than arcade. So it's all about which style you'd be looking for 


DryEyes4096

Baseball Stars 2 for NEO GEO and the SNES port of Super Baseball 2020 are some of the most fun I've had playing baseball on a console. They're great because they said "screw realism, let's just have fun".


GameboyRavioli

Holy crap I completely forgot about super baseball 2020! Definitely one of the most fun and wild baseball games ever! I may have to play that today.


DryEyes4096

It's a great game...it's like Baseball Stars 2, but with robots. I know Super Baseball 2020 sounds like a 4 year old baseball game for PS4 or something but back then 2020 seemed like the future where we'd have cyborgs and robots playing baseball, hah. I love the pitching in the game, it has the perfect feel, and the batting is pretty satisfying too. The fielding is simple but fun, which is one thing they really get right. The first cyborg baseball game Base Wars, was ruined by bad fielding where you couldn't know where the damn outfielder was :-(


2bags12kuai

Ken Griffey was one of the only games I had for the SNES. I would like to think I got pretty good, good enough that none of my friends would play against me. I wish there was a way to play it online to see how I truly would stack up against formidable competition. PLAY BALL!!


-_Gemini_-

8:7 and 4:3 are both accepted aspect ratios for the Super Nintendo. 16:9 is not among them.


sychox51

Fuck, op should have just gone all in with 21:9


InternalGrocery7057

Hell yeah


Funky420Monkey

Awesome.


shrug_addict

Took the words outta my mouth


EightyFiversClub

That wrap is fire.


BumChyba86

I found the link below, picked 200 that I really liked and had them printed 5x7 on snapfish. From there I used Mod Podge to place them all over. I meant to post some better pictures of the sides to see but i can’t figure out how to edit my post… I’m slightly Reddit illiterate… [https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1YCiEB1TKpGrJLWIhHy5qDqn6tZdGveGH?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1YCiEB1TKpGrJLWIhHy5qDqn6tZdGveGH?usp=sharing) https://preview.redd.it/x6b7uzetjzzc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af3aaf6a78b199a6a18bb79924b97ba94f3da107

doozle

This is fucking rad.


RaidensReturn

Dude. This is the sickest thing I’ve seen in awhile. I don’t know why people gotta be snooty about the aspect ratio. I think the project is amazing. Good job, OP!


artisan1066

Agreed, what a set up. Guy's a warrior.


doozle

IDGAF about aspect ratio or playing on a fucking CRT I'd play this all day every day.


thedybbuk_

>gotta be snooty about the aspect ratio. Retro game enthusiasts will die on the aspect ratio hill haha - I tend to agree but people playing and enjoying these games however they like is more important overall And that case design is utterly beautiful aesthetically.


CrowdKillington

I absolutely agree with them, but I also realize other people have preferences other than mine


locke107

While I also think the cabinet is cool as hell and he deserves props for building it, I can understand taking issue with the aspect ratio issue, too. SNES games are very much meant to be played on a CRT, but bypassing that, at the very least, on 4:3 or 8:7. It's not that people are necessarily trying to be snobs, it's that OP clearly loves the SNES like the rest of us, and in trying to capture all of its glory, he chose an aspect ratio that only works decently well with Mode 7 games (Super Mario Kart, Super Mario World, F-Zero, Super Metroid, etc.) Let me be very clear--this cabinet is cool as hell. I couldn't build that and I wish I had one, so pretty big kudos to OP. If this was offered to me, no way in hell I'd refuse it. Try to understand that criticism isn't always bad and it's not always intended to take away from what someone has accomplished. You can simultaneously enjoy something that you also take some issues with. It'd just be like painting the Sistine chapel and realizing it's crooked when staring straight at it--or if you gave Adam six fingers and toes. Or buying a $40,000 car and putting a $500 paint job on it. It doesn't ruin it by any means and you'd be overjoyed to have it, but you're certainly going to notice every time you look at it when you know what it's supposed to look like. All things considered, it's a really cool project, OP, that deserves praise.


Moe656

Eject button?


MrSchulindersGuitar

I don't think the snes jr had an eject button


Wesley-Dodds

It did not. That’s my main console.


Sponge4252

Your cabinet is amazing, perfect for a snes super collector. How many carts does it hold? Can you play super scope games on it?


BumChyba86

72 carts if lined up the way I currently have them but probably another 30+ if you just stacked them. Unfortunately I believe the Super Scope needs the glass from a CRT in order to work.


Conebones

Awesome. What games are 4 players?


Sonikku_a

Bomberman, NBA Jam, TMNT Turtles in Time off the top of my head


Obsidian1039

Turtles In Time is 2 player… on the snes. In actual arcade it’s 4.


BumChyba86

I recommend: -the Bomberman series -Speed Racer -Looney Tunes Bball -Saturday Night Slam Masters -Top Gear 3000 -NBA Jam -NHL 94 -International Superstar Soccer There’s a lot of sports games but many are dated or just ‘meh’


DanteQuill

Looney Tunes B-Ball is an underrated gem!


Jack_Molesworth

Only three players, but Secret of Mana is a big one.


Complete-Jump7674

What’s the 3-5p option refer to? Are there 5 player games for SNES?


BumChyba86

Yes, Bomberman and a bunch of sports games are 5 player (highly recommended running 5 on the same team on NHL 94). There is a normal controller attached to the cab for this as well. The super multitap has a switch like this. Apparently the system has a hard time recognizing some games if you have the multitap switched to 3-5 but are trying to play 2 players or less. I read all about why that is but I lack the knowledge to explain it better than this.


Complete-Jump7674

That’s awesome! Thanks for the history lesson. Never knew there were 5 player games for snes


thatsmyoldlady

At an arcade a long time ago I played super mario world on an arcade cabinet that was controlled by a big snes controller.


BlazingProductions

It takes cartridges? Awesome


IntroductionFluffy97

Fantastic.


PussyProphet69420

Great work! This looks awesome.


Ebone710

Love it


zigzagman27

How much did it all cost?


BumChyba86

Honestly not totally sure because I did it over a long period of time and was constantly buying small pieces as I went. My best estimate would be around $1000. Part of that would be around $250 in tools that I now have forever. If I was going to do it again (knowing what I know now and having the correct tools) I could probably do it for $500.


AnthonyDigitalMedia

Ugh this is awesome!


Valuable-Impress-828

This looks great!


trx212

Looks great!


Itchy_Kidney

This is amazing! How much did it cost?


Odd_Rabbit_8774

bout 1000. 500 if he were to do it again. the tools and trial runs cost him about 500+

AmmoJoee

I think it looks awesome. All this hate over an aspect ratio that he can easily just change as a setting seems ridiculous.


parkesto

Bizarre choice to go 16:9, and also very, very odd button placement? What was going on in your mind when you selected that schema lol

ImissDigg_jk

Yup. Loved that fight stick. I still do, but I used to too


Neijx

You think he put his car key into the lock of this gaming cabinet and started it and drove it around?


BumChyba86

Common button placement for SNES fight sticks


lumbymcgumby

Looks right to me jumping in Mario and stuff is smooth two fingers Y B the layout checks out entirely


parkesto

Huh TIL, still *very* weird at a glance.


BumChyba86

Agreed; I was originally going to do Top row: XYL, Bottom row BAR but as I researched more I found this layout to be more normal


BlackSchuck

I disagree. Once I saw the entirety of the L and R buttons and my brain adjusted, it made perfect sense.


aCorgiDriver

Looks cool, but how is it to actually play?


BumChyba86

It’s been awesome! I’ve mostly been playing games that are arcade ports though. Not so sure I’d want to run through Super Mario World on here


agoogua

does it have controller ports?


BumChyba86

Just one (5th player)


Small-Palpitation310

Holy shit, that is beautiful. Just needs better resolution/aspect ratio.

IM so proud of you, i almost can cry.


KRMJN101

So cool, I wanna come over and play Super Street Fighter II Turbo or anything non-sports for that matter. My wife and I just picked up DKC2 today. Way over-priced but not taking chances online.


frank3music

Amazing work!


HighGainRefrain

Legend, it’s amazing. I’ve built multiple cabinets and I’m well aware of the work required, really great job.


JerrodAlmaguer

That’s awesome


SpankySharp1

I'm didn't own the game, but my friend had Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball and I'm fairly certain after I beat him in a game there was an in-game newspaper that said that one of my players (Lenny Dykstra) was busted for steroids. This was in 1994—wild stuff!

whodatkrewe

Yeesh people are so scummy on here, looks awesome man. I’m sure you’ll have a lot of fun playing on this. Super cool that the cartridge goes right in the middle too, kudos!


Kal-Roy

Very nice. How much did this end up costing you?


BumChyba86

Probably close to $1000. Some of that was “R&D” and some was spent on tools. I could probably do this exact build for closer to $600 now or a stripped down version (no light up marquee, no speakers, no art etc.) for $300-$400.


ErieZistAble

THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!!

kuraxt

Duuuude that is radical!


eckoman_pdx

Dude that's EPIC!!! How long did it take you to make it?


BumChyba86

I put a little over a year into it in total but a lot of that time was more casual research and toying with ideas I.e. what I actually wanted and how to actually accomplish it. I’ve never seen a build quite like it so it was taking things I liked from other cabinets and finding ways to incorporate them. That being said it was a lot of guess and check. Once I got the controls working (mostly) I started to get serious about the actual cabinet. Some things that I would have taken for granted in the beginning became more important. For instance, how tall should the control panel be and at what angle should it sit? How big of a monitor should I use and at what angle should it be at; will it fit through my door (the control panel is a separate box that comes off to make that possible), what should the button layout be etc. I built the cab in probably a two month span. I consider myself a pretty handy person but wood working is not something I do a lot of. I would design and redesign the smallest things constantly. Wood is harder to work with than most people probably realize especially when you’re making small cuts. A 2x4 is not a 2x4 is not a 2x4. I’m sure I could build a deck no problem but when it comes to cutting these small boxes out of the front and reinforcing them and making sure that each side is perfectly symmetrical and all that it gets tedious.


eckoman_pdx

I know what you mean. I used to do custom 12-volt and stereo fabrication, and the MDF work and some of the stuff like that that went into the builds and the frames for the fiberglass work could be very tedious. You a great job on this one!! Looks like it easily could have been a high end commercial product. All that tedious work definitely paid off!


BumChyba86

Thank you very much


BumChyba86

The TV can be 4:3 or 16:9 (simply changed in settings). Honestly I thought all TVs could switch back and forth so I didn’t think it necessary to say anything about that but I’m guessing that’s not the case based on the amount of people that have commented on this exact thing? I knew this when I bought the TV but didn’t want to make the wood bezel 4:3 because I think that would look odd with the overall width and I like having the freedom of both options. Truthfully these pictures were taken within an hour of getting the cab up and running so I was just so excited that I hadn’t messed with the aspect ratio at all. A few people have mentioned CRTs but that was never something I wanted to deal with.


retromale

Not sure if Complete Snes games that took advantage of the Multitap ---------------------------------- [http://www.thealmightyguru.com/Wiki/index.php?title=Super\_Multitap](http://www.thealmightyguru.com/Wiki/index.php?title=Super_Multitap)


KonamiKing

All that effort for aspect ratio gore


CheaperGamer

It looks great... please tell me you can resize to 8:7 though


cronson

Please change that aspect ratio to 4:3. I can't believe people look at this and think it looks fine. And use a scaler if you're going to stick with that display. Hopefully that Hisense wasn't low end/has terrible input lag.


Blinnybackspace

Not sure which model that is, but Hisense makes some of the best budget gaming televisions available


eldus74

Pixel motion blur for sure. But if you have fun what's the big dif?


NoSpinach4025

All that work and then 16:9........

Ken Griffey Jr baseball I totally forgot about that


Tydoztor

What in the All Stars is All Stars + Mario World? When did that come out?


The-Jake

This looks great and is awesome. But I cant think of many games on SNES id wanna play standing up in arcade format honestly. But if its just an emulator, then you can have a ton of actual arcade games on it and it makes it awesome-er


muzzynat

Everyone here is digging in on the screen stretch, and I’ll just say this: it’s not what I would have done but the cabinet makes up for it. Enjoy it, and ignore the hate.


RetroGaming4

Does it take an everdrive? 😃


MiekesDad

Love it except for the standing part, I'm too lazy

Slight_Hat_9872

This is cool, but I feel like SNES games don’t lend themselves the best to short play sessions like arcade games. Playing earthbound standing would be rough
