(sorda)Portable Xbox

GOG · Post by **GOG** » Thu Nov 18, 2004 11:28 pm

Ive decided, once I can afford a screen, that im gonna build a portable xbox. Ive decided to keep the power supply it comes with(for now) and focus on cutting other things, like the dvd-rom. From the pics ive seen, the xbox controller boards are double layered, so I cant cut it, so im going to put two indentions in the sides of my case(which will be wood) so i can get to the triggers. I dont know of any other way of getting the triggers where they can easily be used.

Only thing im not sure about is what kinda battery to use

2.1 amps

I'd suggest if you want to play a decent length game you'll need a battery with the capacity of a car battery. The Xbox is going to need close to 1.5-2 amps. Hard drives take a lot of power.

are there any batteries that powerful at a decent size?

Ben used a DVDp batt in hid ps2p. Its 6.5amps you will need two in seris to get the right viltage though.

Wow maybe 3 hours on the Xbox, to bad you'll probibly give up carrying it around after 30 minutes.

a portable dvd player

Thats Jack's term for a portable DVD player. They have anywhere from 5-10" screens (LCD) and play dvds with a battery pack built into the bottem of the case.

I think he means DVDPp

A portable dvd wouldn't do much good

Oh yeah, and it's a portable dvd player.
