Consoles You Wish Were Portable

Which consoles do you wish you could take with you? Personally I'd love to have a way to play Virtura Cop or Astal on a plane. (Sega Saturn)

What about you?

I'd say Dreamcast, Neo Geo or Atari 8-bit computer. They'd be nice portable. My definition of portable involves storage in pockets, so original hardware and storage media is out on them.

I've always dreamed of a truly portable (and affordable) PC, with windows, emulators, and all that. Portable for me is... maybe four times the volume of a GBO, with runtime greater than three hours.

Maybe with a pico-ITX...

How about a Mac Mini?

Are those games confirmed releases or were/are they going to be released by Good Deal Games?

That's what GDG does is aquire code from existing games and finish the project

Why not just a single octo core? Much greater performance due to being in one bus and all...

The Mac Mini... the problem with that is the size of its internals. Adding 3 hours worth of batteries and a screen would yeild a large, heavy (not)portable. Even removing the optical drive wouldn't reduce the size sufficiently.

The Mac Mini would also cost a bit more than a pico-ITX computer.

I also hate Steve Jobs and his constant verbal diarrhea.
