Play Japanese Super Famicom Games On US Super Nintendo!! NEStoration™ Region Free Mod Kit

In this episode, I share with you the completion of a dream where I have designed from the ground up a region-free mod tray for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System Jr, which will allow you to play both North American Super Nintendo games and Japanese Super Famicom games on a North American Super Nintendo Entertainment System thanks to the NEStoration™ Region Free Mod Kit I designed and am manufacturing.

When I got into 3D printing in 2021, there were three things that I wanted to design and print. The first was a set of Mickey Mouse wall hangers for the ears my wife, daughters, and I have collected over the years. The second was a storage case for Famicom Disk System Disks in their cases, with Diskun on the sides. The third item I wanted to create was a region-free mod for the Super Nintendo and the Super Nintendo Jr which would allow me to play imported Japanese 16-bit Super Famicom games on a North American system. Thanks to SainSmart providing us with a SealLite handheld 3D scanner, and what I have learned over the last two and a half years regarding 3D modeling, I am proud to announce my NEStoration line of Gaming accessories and the first product under that brand, a region mod kit for the Super Nintendo. Let's show you how to install this kit.

Please note:
The NEStoration region-free mod tray will only allow you to play Japanese games on a United States system. It will not allow you to play PAL European Super Nintendo games on a US system as they operate at a different frequency. This does not convert PAL signals to NTSC, this simply alters the existing cartridge slot.

Tools needed :
NEStoration™ SNES Region Free mod tray
4.3 mm game bit or security bit
Number 0 Philips head screwdriver

Disassembly:
The underside of the SNES features 6 4.3mm Security Bits you need to remove. You can remove them in any order, but make sure to set them aside in a secure place as you'll need them later. Once the screws have been removed, you can separate the top and bottom half of the cases. Set the bottom half of the case aside as you will not need this at this time.

Flip the top of the shell over so you can see the inside of it. There are Phillips head screws that you will be able to see. You will need to remove each of these screws that retain the stock cartridge slot. Before removing the stock tray you will need to remove the reset mechanism spring. Use a needle nose pliers or a set of tweezers. Remove the cartridge locking lever mechanism from the tray, you won't need this on the conversion. Carefully lift the stock component from the system. Before we are done with this, we need to remove the reset plunger. It has 2 tabs on either side of the channel that locks it into place. Gently squeeze these tabs to release it, and it should pop right out. From here, you are done with the original tray & will not need it anymore.

Begin the reassembly process by installing the reset plunger into the new NEStoration tray. While I do my best to ensure free movement of this piece before proceeding. Once installed, you can install this tray in your system. From here, you need to prep the region-free tray by installing the 2 included standoffs. These key into the bottom of the tray to ensure they don't spin when you reinstall the screws. Before placing them into the tray, pre-thread the screw holes to make installation easier later. Once the standoffs are in-place, you can screw the tray to the lid of your system. Once completed, you're ready to reassemble your console.

I am super excited that I was able to design and produce this.Let me know if this is something you would be interested in. Have you ever collected Super Nintendo games? Let me know in the comments.
