An overview of the progress made by community developers in reverse engineering and recreating the PCB of the unreleased SNES CD console.

SUPPORT THE CHANNEL : patreon.com/VideoGameEsoterica You probably remember the SNES CD, the collaboration project between Nintendo and Sony that was cancelled at the last minute....angering Sony and inspiring them to go on and create the original PlayStation...while Nintendo went on to partner with Philips giving us some really bad The Legend of Zelda games on the CD-I! But the SNES CD or Super Nintendo CD is back...a little bit at least! Because Cosam the Great has recreated the PCB and is working on getting it to become a real SNES CD! Sure there is one SNES CD prototype in the world...but soon there may be tons! and now with more updates as of 11/12/2025! Sub to Cosam: youtube.com/@cosam2/featured and maybe that means a MiSTer FPGA core after that? haha Credit: x.com/cosam_the_great/ Questions? Comments?
