Why not a CDX portable?
The CDX is quite original in the lines of portables. I've wanted to do one for a while, but then I saw the price of a CDX and decided against it. I mean, we have one at my grandparent's, but I'm not about to put it under the soldering iron until I know exactly what I'm doing. (Plus my grandma may not want me to tear apart the only game system they have in their house)

Reason for doing DreamCast: It raised me better than my parents did. Problems? Dreamcast= fix. I love this console to death, and I have my original (like you, I wont be slicing that one up
)

This is almost exactly the same as the question from a few days ago, in regards to the megasticky.
The megasticky for MR projects.

AFAIK someone already made a CDX portable WITH a 32X. I forget where I saw it though.
Anyway, a DCp is not all that unique. Hail has made one, and so has *shudder* Bacteria. That said, it's still a pretty uncommon console to portabilize, so go for it.
Lastly, it's not dreamCast, it's not DreamCast, its just Dreamcast. Type it with me... Dreamcast.

I believe this to be segasonicfan's portable... I can't find much info on it now, but I did manage to find a picture on a slightly interesting blog post...

Bacteria's isn't in here for reasons you would discover if you bothered to pull your head out of your ass every now and then.
Also-there is a CDXp on POD.

Hey, whoa, don't go there. That was rather unnecessary.

I built a DCp some time ago. It was my first portable. I built a couple of others, but never really posted them (their in terrible, broken down condition now, but I plan on finishing them...sometime 
) Right now, I'm currently on a N64p, about 60% done it. You know, when I got into this hobby, EVERYONE and their grandma said "DCp is TOO hard to try as your first. Do a NESp or N64p first and get used to the field. I tried a N64p first, and you know what? It wasn't easy at ALL. It got quite annoying with the constant rewiring (of course I was a complete amateur at the time and had NO patience) and frustration was constant. Then I said screw it, and did what I REALLY wanted the whole time. A DCp. I'm a complete Sonic FREAK! That hedgehog is my idol! So playing Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 on the bus became my dream. So I did the DCp first, and you know what? It really wasn't that hard 
(of course it is completely hideous )

Now I'm not saying disregard the senior members on the forums, because they only mean good and have a lot to share and teach us new comers (yes, I'm still new and learning a lot in this hobby).But what I am saying is, don't lose sight of what you want and be discouraged. It may look like a big pill to swallow, but just like observing something from a distance. Once you step back, analyze and understand, it doesn't look that big anymore

+1 to Sonic4Freedom.
I was originally going to build a NESp for my first portable. But the thing is, parts are expensive and often hard to get (especially screens). I really wanted an N64p, and it felt like kind of a waste to do a NESp. The first attempt was a disaster because I had no idea what I was doing. The second attempt was going okay, I was less ambitious for better or for worse, but I gave up on it because it was crap. That was the Wii Screen disaster by the way (check the YAP64 thread for details). So I pulled out all the stops and built what I originally planned to do- an N64p with 3.5" screen in a ZN-40. And you know what? It's finished now! Granted it's huge and ugly, but I finally finished something.
Anyway, I'm not sure what my next console project will be. I don't have a lot of money right now and I'm preoccupied with other things. I'm thinking maybe a Dreamcast fliptop- but Dreamcasts are kind of expensive and the screen I want costs $100. Maybe an XBOX laptop- but that's pretty pointless considering a normal laptop would probably be cheaper and would do more. A modded N64 (not portable) maybe? Anyone have a spare PAL PIF chip laying around?
