Also, which consoles should be? It seems like all the major systems have been covered by hackers, but what about some of the obscurities? Has anyone ever attempted, say, a micro Astrocade, or a shrinky dink Fairchild Channel F? Are the motherboards for these systems small enough to pull off such a mod? Would it even be worth the trouble since they're so esoteric? Inquiring minds want to know!

I honestly havent seen a sega saturn portable....not that i would want to see one....only thing i use to play on the sega saturn was "Last Bronx" and "Battle Arena Toshinden"


Dont talk crap about Saturn haha, it was awesome; Virtua Fighter, Panzer Dragoon Series, NiGHTS, Sega Rally/Daytona USA, Working Designs RPGS (such as Albert Oddessey, Magic Knight Rayearth, Dragon Force [not the band thankfully]), Shining Force III, Guardian Heroes, etc.

Don't forget all the imports which there is tons of great stuff in there as well.

My first computer/console was a coco II. I've never seen anyone portablize it. It would definitely be best suited as a laptop, and I really doubt anyone would spend the time or money it would take to do it.

Basically a Saturn portable would be almost the same size and thickness as the Saturn console itself.

I was thinking about it but just to big and bulky.
