Super Genintari – 4 Game Stations In One

sg_08.jpg

Big retro gamer? Emulators no fun? The wife upset because you have 8 consoles hooked up to the family TV? Well then the Super Genintari is just right for you. The Super Genintari combines 4 classic arcade systems into one unit. An Atari 2600, NES, SNES, and Sega Genesis are rolled into one package.

You can have all 4 system cartridges plugged in at once and it only requires a single AV cable, which makes switching between Sonic and Super Mario Brothers a breeze.

The whole box measures about 14″x10″x5″ and is made entirely of transparent bronze acrylic, formed and shaped on a homemade strip heater. All of the openings for the buttons, cartridges and controller ports were carefully cut with a cordless Dremel. The face buttons are clear acrylic domes with each system’s logo epoxy glued in place and back-lit with orange LEDs when pressed. The entire system is incredibly easy to hook up, consisting of only one standard power cord and one A/V cable. It’s a little on the large size considering the room needed for all the boards, cartridge connectors and built-in transformer, and there’s also the fact that I refused to use clone systems since I wanted 100% compatibility and faithful reproduction. (No Yobos, Super Joys, etc.)

    You should mass produce it and sell it as a kit. I’d buy one.

  • Kendra

    That’s really cool! Too bad selling something like this would probably be illegal…

  • Wolf

    With the proper licensing you could probably mass market this, I know there’s a thing called a retro-duo that does NES and SNES, so I suspect you might be able to pull it off. I’d buy it.

  • Andrew

    Yeah, but the retro-duo is just two nintendo systems. This one is 3 different companies’ platforms in one package.

    If you use all original hardware there should be no problem with any legal issues.

    @Mike S.

    You clearly don’t understand what you are talking about.

  • Mark

    If you made a requirement that the end user has to dissasemble their console, then you could get past any legalities

  • Mike S.

    @DarkRai – I do know what I am talking about. If you sell a kit and end users use the original hardware so that mounting points match up there is no legal issue at all. Many companies have been selling replacement cases for consoles like the XBox and Playstation. Even the massive PC case manufacture Lian Li makes a replacement XBox 360 case.

    I want one with NES, SNES, and N64 :D

  • benedict mackay

    @DR. INTERNETZ – you are clearly off your head

  • easybutton

    Nice, hopefully it doesn’t distort the sound like other multi consoles do. Now if it could play neo geo games…

    I could lose a good half mile of cable connected to my TV if i had this.

    @Bobby – At least a half a mile, maybe more.

  • me

    Or you could buy a Wii.

    That is a cool piece of kit.

  • frank

    Nice huge waste of time you got there…

    does it blend?

  • littlefriend

    Well done! I’ve been thinking about doing something like this for a long time, only I’ve got 8 systems I want to get in one box.
