Box? We need more details man! Either way, just about any solid structure capable of holding all the parts will work. (you know, you could use the Flashback case itself if you want)

Anyways, why I Flashback? Do you plan on playing horrible reproductions of Atari games, or do you plan to hack it to take NES cartridges?

If you want help, take atari2600a's advice and learn to type, because I didn't understand any of your last post. If you don't speak English or have something else stopping you from typing better, just tell us. We will be more understanding if you can't do better, not if you're too lazy to do better.

Cardboard probably isn't a good idea for a case. It's flimsy, chunky, and ugly. And just because you're 9 doesn't mean you can't take your time posting. Your spelling and grammar structure looks to be just fine, so just take a few extra seconds to capitalize and use proper spacing. :) :?

Also, if you're only 9, are you very confident in your soldering skills? Just something you may want to consider before portablization...

That's no excuse. You should know at least know basic spelling and grammar at 9 years old... What are they teaching you kids in school nowadays?!

You mean the cardboard box the flashback comes in? Don't use that. It's about 20 times bigger than you need it to be.

Are you sure you can solder well enough to handle this? You won't be able to make a decent handheld if you make all the connections with tape and glue.

You don't want to use the original Flashback, anyways. It only has a few games, and it's just short of impossible to add games (or a cartridge slot) to it.

N-N-N-N-n-NINE??? Now, that's peculiar. I started portables at the ripe age of 11. Nine? The fo is up with that? Ok not to be negative, let's talk tech. Which box, like the one where you bought your flashback, that cardboard thing, or the plastic enclosure of the console. C-A-R-D-B-O-A-R-D or P-L-A-S-T-I-C. Be specific please, k thnx. :P

Also, are you sure what you're doing? I actually wanted to use ALLIGATOR CLIPS as my thing to 'solder' connections...then I learnt, lawl, like z0mg. Anyway (baby goat), just know what you're doing, and good wuck. :wink:

Seriously dude, being 9 is no excuse to ramble about like a mentally challenged person on the internet (no offense). When I was 9, my emails has proper capitalization, punctuation, & whatnot. (...& I still have the emails to prove it!) The only time a post should be without punctuation is when it's 1-2 words long.

Just to make sure. You can't add a cart slot to a flashback 1.
And being 9 is no excuse. Maybe if you were 7 but 8 is really when you should be able to write properly. I've known English since I was six (speaking). Why shouldn't you know English whilst it's your own language.

:lol: Sorry man, it was there.

Anyways, kid, they're right. Your posts are borderline unintelligible, not to mention you're asking questions that have either

A. Been answered numerous times before, or

B. Can be answered with a bit of research and common sense.

So please, follow the advice of Little Billy and think before you post. :roll:

1. You can't add games to the Flashback
2. You can't add a cartridge slot to the Flashback 1 (the one that looks like a mini Atari 7800*)
3. You can't use the LCD screen in your Leapfrog thing.
4. The Flashback 2 is better for making a protable, and it only costs $25...
