Downing's Genesis Portable "The GeneBoy" Complete!

[Downing]

After about 4 weeks, my first portable Genesis "The GeneBoy" is complete!

Updated Specs

Size: 1-7/8" Thick x 4-3/4" Wide x 6-1/2" High
Weight: About 1.5lbs
Battery: 7.4V @ 4Amps
Screen: 3.5" TFT Back-up Screen
Sound/Amp: 1 20mm Speaker & Mini iPod Amp
Power Switch: SPDT On/Off Rocker
Power Charge Port: Single Size M Charger Port
PS1 Controller D-pad
3rd Party Super Pad Controller Board & Buttons
Custom 3 Part Vacuum Formed Casing

All in all I've very happy with how this has turned out! The controls are fluid and responsive and the grip is perfect, even for small hands like mine. Posting some pics of the completed unit below, but are the same mostly as in the video.

Forgive the scratches and such as I was a bit rough with it when I was putting the components in place. Sorry for the large photo size too!

I approve

I also think this looks loads better than your 'cloud' style portables, but then again, I was never a fan of those. Great job, man;thanks for doing something different.

Thanks guys! It was fun to shake it up a bit.

Looks great! Are you going to sell it?

 

[Downing]

If an offer comes along, but I'm enjoying it at the moment.
