Now that, is awesome. Looks great! Bet it wasn't too hard putting everything in the case either.

 

[grossaffe]

not bad. gotta be careful the case doesn't close while you have a game in, though, 'cause that could wreak havoc on your screen.

yeah, or some douche doesn't come up and slam it shut on you.

 

[Hifeno]

Ya your right. It has a locking hinge. If some douch tears it up I will make him pay for it.

That's pretty cool, if a bit (or a lot) minimalistic. How much empty space is there in there?

if you have enough ma a slot 4 some games.

There was no room left. It looks bigger than it is. with the N64 board in it there was 1 inch of space on either side. thats where the batteries charger circuit and controller ports went. Not to mention the posts to hold the wood on. The screen board in the top was about 1 in top bottom and 1.5 inch bigger side to side. So not much more room. I did originally want to put a super Nintendo in there too. Just not enough room.

so how well does this thing stand up when open? I imagine a lot of weight in the screen area relative to the rest of it.

[themadhacker]

Really. I can't even understand half of your posts anymore.

It is from a portable dvd player. Looks great. No switching between modes though. No you can not have it but I will sell it to you.

 

[ShockSlayer]

I still say,

I really like it, very cool portable, nice job!

I call BS that you get 6.5 hours of battery life, especially with the expansion pak in there. 6600mah is .6A less than my batteries and I get about 6.5 hours of battery life...

 

[Hifeno]

Call bull if you want but I know how long it was on for. Unless it draws less power when it is just sitting there not getting played on running title screen. Every battery is different. I don't have four player ports not to mention you could never play four players on that small screen.

 

[PalmerTech]

Yeah, running on a title screen is not very intensive at all.

Try playing some 4 player perfect dark.

 

[DNT 2.5]

What screen did you use, was it really expensive?

 

[Hifeno]

Screen came from a portable dvd player. I got it here for $20 good screen too.

I could see anyone caring that around in a suit, with sunglasses, and then sitting in the middle of a mall and start playing it! XD
