Vote for Vigo - He's not above begging
Vigo:
A while back, Donkbaca posted a thread about the Instructables website having a video game themed build contest. I submitted my Super NES machine. The contest is now in voting stage, and i am asking for you vote. It will only take a minute, I swear!
Click for my instructable!
1) Just go to instructables and sign up for a free account. You don't even have to do any lame email authentication. Also, when it asks if you want a pro account, just say no.
2) Go to the contest page and find my posting. If you sort submissions by rating, I should be near the top. Click on it and on the top left of the screen, click the vote button. You can also give me a star rating on the info tab on the right side of the screen.
Thanks! That's it! Also, you should check out the other projects, too. There are some really cool things on there. :cheers:

Didn't I see this on HaD not too long ago?
Vigo:
Yep, that it was on HaD last week. That's cool that you noticed! :cheers:

Yeah, I check HaD daily. Instructables is nice, but there's just too many lame and poorly made projects to sort through sometimes. To add insult to injury, you have to log in to see more and more of the details in an individual projects. ---smurfing--- lame in my book.
I didn't dig too much into the Instructables article (I'm usually on my Android nowadays) but from what I saw, it's a very clean build. Especially the non-SNES ports around back which is where nearly every single craptastic hack of this nature FAIL making a mockery of the SNES. The wireless and USB<->SNES controllers are a nice touch too.
I think the only change I would have done differently is handle the cartridge slot and eject a little differently. Other than that it has my vote.

Thanks!!! I appreciate the critique as well. I know exactly what you mean about crap jobs on the backs of the console. I would rather just do the extra wiring than chop off the entire rear end of the system to "just make it all fit".
Yeah, Instructables takes a lot of sifting through to find cool stuff. One of the entries is telling you how to cut a shield shape out of cardboard for a Legend of Zelda Costume. It ends with just telling you to wear a green shirt while holding your shield.
Another thing that gets me is that half of the cool things I really like do not instruct at all, but is just somebody showing off photos of their stuff. It kinda defeats whole the purpose of the website.
