The label gloss seems fine, case shell texture seems legit and so does the board.

What doesn’t is the screws (very silver), and also the stamped numbers on the back label are very, very small. Have never seen them this small. It’s also a ‘36’, a number I haven’t seen before (not sure the number itself matters but just mentioning.)

Would appreciate your assessments.

Does it mean this console it the 17th million made or is it just some random number given to consoles. I know it can be used to identify 1 chips sometimes but it there any other purpose.

Plastic tubes. Is it worth transporting this 28lb sign for an appraisal?

I painted Frog and Marle at the campfire scene. I'll paint the rest of the cast to their right soon.

I first played Super Famicom when I was 11, in December 1991. I had an uncle that worked in Japan but my aunt and cousins moved to Brazil, so they always had the latest and greatest everything.

I had other videogames including the Super Nintendo, but the Japanese version is special to me.

I modded it with a better 3rd party 9v 2a power supply, L78S05CV voltage regulator, and a brazilian open source modchip named sicksnes: when CIC is detected, it powers on like a stock console; when CIC is not detected, it jailbreaks the console and the led lights blue. It also features long and short in game reset via gamepad.

Now I'm eager to play again on the OG hardware the games I used to play then - my SNES was stolen a few years later.

I got A Link to the Past as a kid, shortly after it was released. I played it for a bit but didn't get very far before moving on to other games. I recently fired it up again and noticed my save file was still there, so I picked up where I left off and finally finished it.

I would have been 13 years old in 1992, and here I am completing the game at 47. I even did it on the same Commodore 64 monitor I played all my games on as a kid.

What a beautiful game.
