Re: DC Laptop W.I.P.

That's big enough. But do you REALLY want a 7" screen in that? A 15" one still wouldn't reach the edges.

It gives that feel of suspension.
Example:
Friend: DUDE, A DREAMCAST LAPTOP IN THAT THING, YOU MUST HAVE A HUUUUGGGEE SCREEN!
Me: Open it up and see!
(*LOZ Open Chest theme plays*)
F: lol wut?


Nah, But I think 7" or 9" will be enough.
I'll get a 9" if I can find one cheap enough.

Gives me the feeling of a low budget or half an ass.
Might as well put it in a smaller case if you're going to skimp on screenage.

Re: DC Laptop W.I.P.

I wonder if you could use this?

It could take a PSone LCD I think.

Hmm... Looks like it might be a tight fit width-wise.
That DC Cd-Drive is pretty hefty.

Re: DC Laptop W.I.P.

Just use a small case, a DC laptop only needs to be 7" screen big.

Also, custom case FTW!

Hmmm... A custom case.... GENIUS!

If I use a Custom case I am keeping the regular DC PSU.
So I might Do That!!!

If the case is large enough, make sure you biuld in a dreamcast keyboard.

Re: DC Laptop W.I.P.

Does the dreamcast NEED 12v, or does that go into a 7805?

Ehh... There is no point for me to that.

I can still have all the Compatibility because I can still plug the Keyboard and Mouse into the controller ports.

Meh I'm gonna stop talking about a system I know nothing about

And, does the dreamcast NEED 12v or is does that go into a regulator?
