this is in the wrong area buddy over in the genesis or 2nd gen area is where you want
Well first things first, you probably want to see if it works.
If it does, take it apart. I'm not sure what kind of trimming you can do to the hardware, but for a first portable it's fine not to.
Next, you're going to need batteries and a screen, and work out a way to run your screen and your system off of your batteries.
Lastly, make a case.
But firstly, you should make sure your console works.

and sorry for making this in the wrong place.
DS battery would work but you wouldn't have gargantuan battery life..
I dont know the voltage needs of the genesis but you should consider the nice 3.7v LiIon batteries in HailRazer's guide. I think they will get you atleast 3 hours of battery life with a screen.

DEMON PIE!
You can add a cartridge slot, which is not difficult. Also, it's still half the size of the 4.5 x 4 inch Genesis 3 I trimmed.
EDIT: To follow up on this, my max cut Genesis 3 (without rcp-style cart slot wiring) measured 103mm x 95mm. A stock Radica measures 93mm x 49 mm. A max-cut Radica (with minimal relocation of parts) is 74mm x 42mm.
For compatibility's sake, I would say to use a Genesis 3. They're already pretty small, have fairly low power consumption, and already come with their own cartridge slot.
But I would overall still suggest the Radica. It only consumes ~80 mah, and is half the size of the max-cut Genesis. It is very easy to desolder the onboard ROM chip and add a cart slot from a Sonic and Knuckles cartridge or Game Genie.
