Full description
Super Famicom and SNES PAL replacement shell: a new, translucent housing
Yellowed plastic, broken screw posts, cracked shell: the housing of a Super Famicom or a PAL Super Nintendo ages worse than its electronics. This BitFunx replacement shell reproduces the shape of the Japanese and European model, in translucent plastic that shows the motherboard. Three colours: clear, translucent black, translucent purple.
What it does
- Replaces a damaged housing: yellowed, cracked or with broken screw posts.
- Japanese and European shape: the Super Famicom and the PAL Super Nintendo share the same housing.
- Translucent plastic: the electronics remain visible, in three colours.
What it doesn't do
- It does not fit the American Super Nintendo, whose housing has a different shape.
- It does not fit compact versions with a different housing (Jr model).
- Only the housing is guaranteed to be included: plan to reuse the screws, buttons, springs and internal parts from your console.
- It does not fix an electronic fault: it is a cosmetic part.
Compatibility
Japanese Super Famicom (NTSC-J) and European Super Nintendo (PAL), original models. Not compatible with the North American Super Nintendo or with compact models.
Skill level required
Intermediate, no soldering. You need to open the console with a 3.8 mm security screwdriver, transfer the motherboard, power supply unit, buttons and screws into the new shell, then close it up. Plan for careful disassembly: note where each screw goes.
In the box
- 1 replacement shell, in the chosen colour.
The console is not included.

The job: a change of clothes without touching the electronics
You open the console with a 3.8 mm security screwdriver, take out the motherboard, power supply unit and buttons, install them in the new shell and screw it back together. An hour is enough for a careful hobbyist to give a yellowed or cracked console a clean, translucent housing that shows off its circuits.
The part: a BitFunx shell in the Japanese and European format
BitFunx makes parts and accessories for retro consoles. This shell reproduces the design shared by the Super Famicom and the PAL Super Nintendo, in translucent plastic. It is not intended for the American model, whose outline is different: check where your console comes from before choosing your colour.
The support: preparing the transfer

Why buy here rather than on a marketplace
It is a fair question. Here is the answer, straight.
Every listing is checked before publication: real compatibility, material, dimensions, box contents. Many models never make it into the catalogue.
A question about compatibility, a fit problem, a return: you write, a human replies within 1 business day. In French.
The 2-year legal warranty of conformity is handled by us — not by a form on the other side of the world. And 14 days to change your mind, with no need to justify yourself.
We do not claim to be the cheapest. We claim that you will know exactly what you are buying before you pay.
