10 reasons why you should skip Microsoft's 360 and wait for the real gaming revolution.

#10. Limited Funds and Quantities
There it is: the most obvious reason to stay away from Microsoft's new console. Ironically, you may have no choice in the matter. Xbox 360 ...

hey theres a portable gamecube out just like the way you want it it's got a gamecube and a game boy advance pretty much shoved into a controller http://www.hinterding.com/bilder/GCadvance.jpg
:) AWSOME PAINT JOB!!!! :) [/img]

That was a rumored nintendo DS prototype :P.

It does look sweet ...

Mines like a carpet cleaner and other stuff in one unit so it's got a pcb of some description, but haven't got round to doing this yet, need to soon for my vacuum former like!

What do people reckon to this as a power supply for the cube?

Where would I be able to order one?

So for this LED ( http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=19498&TabID=2&WorldID=3&doy=12m1 ) that would be: R = (Vs - Vf)/I

Vs = 11.7
Vf = 4
I = 30

So:

R = (11.7 - 4)/30

R = 7.7/30

R = .26

So would that mean a 26ohm Resistor? Please tell me if I'm out on my calculations, or if I'm using ...

I did think that the SP would be easier, but the cost makes it a little prohibitive. I'm gonna check out all the second hand stores around my area, to see if I can get one on the cheap before going with the GBA(if I have to do this then I'll just add a couple of LED's to light the screen.

It won't ...

Thanks HK, but what ohm resistor would I need to attach it to 12V?

Is there a way to replace the lighting tube from a 4Gamers cube screen with LED's? I have removed the tube and it's casing and it has literally halved the weight, plus I'll be able to compress it so it takes up less space. How many LED's and what type would I need and what ohm resistor would I need ...

Just need to pickup a cheap gba and I can get started!

Willy Nelson is the man, Kenny Rodgers wouldn't stand a chance!

Heh heh, he said hard and deep, heh heh.

(why do I always turn into beavis after a drink?)

After finally finishing my PSone, I've decided to start pulling my cube to bits and had a crazy but possibly feasible idea for a new handheld.

Basically what I'm planning is a DS inspired clamshell dual screen system with the top screen being for the cube and a smaller bottom screen with the guts ...

If this thing is as good as your MultiMega (sorry, I mean CDX) then it will be fantastic, can't wait to see pics!

Further question. Is this a common thing with electronics then, cos if so, it may be why my vacuum cleaner died as I think it must be something on the electronic level as there is nothing wrong with the actual fan?
