DreamTrooper .My next portable started. FINISHED :) Youtube

Hi,
I love the N64 portable you built, and it was actually the first system I ever played in my younger years. I would be very interested in paying you to build one, since I am to busy to get around to doing it myself. Is there an estimate you can give me? This is just too awesome to pass up. Let me know. Thanks.

PM me, but the cheapest I will build one for is $700.

[argelfraster]

You're making another!?

Will you make a new super awesome case? or another lazer doodle?

[snowpenguin]

I think he's saying if someone wants to commission another Darth 64, he'll build it for $700, not that he'll just be building one for fun.

Hey Hailrazor can you use the PSOne screen in a gameboy advance sp to make a "dreamtrooper"? If not what could you make with a gamecube a gameboy advance sp and a dreamcast?

I'm blown away by this. And here I was thinking about using a Dreamcast Controller to try and fit in a Pico-ITX mobo in an attempt to get a mini-portable MAME controller. The Lazer Doodle looks perferct!

I've never done epoxy modelling and I'd love to have a couple of pointers from anyone please:

- I know there are different types of epoxies to use depending on the plastic casing on which it is being applied however for the Lazer Doodle which one would you use?
- How did the molding for the extra buttons and joystick/d-pad get worked out? The original casing is set out differently which means filling those holes in and recutting new ones. Is there a technique to this and special tools? Or is the Dremel the best-fit?
- How did the cool raised edges around the d-pad and joystick get worked? Is that cutting and sanding a block of hardened epoxy?

Cheers for any answers!

For God's sake sell me one of these for me, pay whatever it takes!

[hashiriya1]

Wow, that is incredible. I would love to play some shmups on that thing!

Sorry if I'm bumping this, I don't know when it was created, but where did you get the screen? I can only find them for about $50

[hailrazer]

Thats about what they cost. There is still a seller on Ebay who sells them for $43 shipped.
