Fun fact, you can power an SNES by backfeeding 5 volts into the A/V multi out port, but this bypasses the internal power switch.
I got a cable that I think was for a digital camera or something similar that on one end has the usual 3 RCA plugs for composite video and stereo audio but also has a standard USB type A male plug. I looked up a pinout and soldered the other end to the N64 connector section of one of those cheap 3 way universal RF modulators that has Xbox, N64, and PlayStation connectors on a cross shaped plug.
It’s interesting playing Tetris Attack with the console being powered by a standard USB power bank or even possibly the USB port on the TV itself if it has one. The 27″ flat screen (not flat panel obviously) JVC I’Art CRT TV we usually play it on obviously doesn’t have USB.
I’ll never understand why Nintendo changed the design for the US market. The purple scheme made no sense. It was horrible. Super Famicom was a great design.
Some people are saying that it’s a Super Famicom (therefore the Japanese version) but it isn’t, it’s a SNES but from either the UK, Europe or Oceania (Australia, New Zealand, etc) – those countries **and others** shared the same physical design as the original Super Famicom. Download and zoom in on the image, you can clearly see that the large blue writing says:
SUPER NINTENDO

It was only the US that had the unique, more squared off re-design with the purple buttons.
Definitely a gateway to a different world
It doesnt look very happy about it 🤣
If video games has taught us anything, it’s that a secret door will open once you put the right cartridge in there.
I wonder if it’s still works.
this should be a post box design
Looks like it’s bricked
Stick a cart in it.
That’s an old ass 1st edition SNES!
Woah there, that’s a load bearing console!
Ok I need answers.
Why?
All in all it’s just another SNES in the wall
Password is:
Up up down down left right left right B A start, no?
” It’s me! Wallrio!”
Tetris!

Can see a YouTube vid opportunity: “I rescued a 25 year old games console left outside and used as a BRICK [Will it work!?]”

Don’t show this to Ancient Aliens.
“Mom, can we have Nintendo?”
“No, we have Nintendo at home”
Nintendo at home:

Structural Nintendo Entertainment System
Some kid fucked up royally to have that punishment…
Is this the one near Hadrians wall? There’s a PS1 just to the right aswell.
This is going to confuse some archaeologist in the future
bet it still works
and I bet OP’s beyond done with the “bricked it” comments.
Knowing old Nintendo consoles, it’ll last longer than the wall around it.
I’m afraid that console is bricked, mate.
I bet that sob still works too
