Know how to make an Xbox Portable. I know how to put a screen on it and everything. But what about a battery or somewhere to power it up what would I use for that?

The xbox sucks up a crazy amount of power, like 80 amps. So unless you have a whole bunch of money, its hard to power by battery

Ya I would figure that since it's such a big system, I was just gonna go with the portable GC approach, just get the screen with the battery.

Battery - $9
Screen $25-50

According to Ebay.

But how about the Ps2?

A battery for an xbox will not be $50. Think more like this: http://www.all-battery.com/148volt-5350 ... ypack.aspx

That should power it for 45 minutes or so.

Then, you need a charger for it (Big $$$).

Wow......
Just one more question. Are GCP's easier to make than the Xboxp and Ps2p.

Well, I have not made either one (Well, finished at least), but here is my take from what I know: The PS2 Slim is probably the easiest of the three, in my opinion. Xbox is just unpractical, and gamecubes have to deal with a huge disc drive, multiple power inputs, and a high voltage battery. If you have a PS2 slim, do that.

Note that as a poser, my opinion should probably be held up by someone with more experience with these portables.

I would start with an NES or SNES portable, WAY easier to learn on.

That sounds legit, Ye I might start. Cause I opened up my PsOne today and I seen inside and everything. Plus Ben gives some instructions on how to make it so I might do NESP or PSP

I'm doing a gamecube portable and I can tell you right now that the disk drive is a beast (especially since its my first time soldering).
