Nice!

Anywho, more questions...

1) What are the games you have tried so far, and were there any problems with the light gun games (Hogan's Alley, Duck Hunt, etc.)? I want to use my Zapper in my NESp, but I'll take the NESp from Ben Heck's book.

2) How much time did you devote to the project?

Hmmm, nice rough sketch dude.

However, what it looks like on paper ain't what it turns out to be unless you make a proto first. Is a proto case in the works, dude?

THAT is one female of the dog species' Portable! I have several questions (i have a GB at home and I plan on modding that puppy to make a portable NES):

First, I gotta fix the damn battery cover and battery compartment. I used Velcro (not a good idea, don't try this at home) to affix the damned ...

BTW, about the Game Gear's sh*tty battery life, can you use those Rayovac ic3 NiMH 2300 mAh rechargeable AA batteries? I have a bad feeling about this...

Thank you Sparkfist, but he has so much email that he doesn't get to respond to each one. Is there a special code you have to enter in the subject line in order to pass thru Ben's (hopefully) massive spam filter? Or do I have to focus on one subject (a pain in the a$$, trust me)?

thanks for your kind and helpful comments everybody (or at least 3 bodies)

I have to say that the main problem is getting all the parts to make them work. I have one question regarding the NESp projects: Will any old toaster NES do, not just the one from 1985? I say what I got in my NES package ...

Uh, is there an Adobe Illustrator clone...

...that uses Adobe Illustrator files? I want to use Ben's engraving plate design, but some of the support files for Ben Heck's book are EXCLUSIVELY in Adobe Illustrator, which ain't cool at all...

Ben's Sega Exodus...

Is there a place on the Internet where we can get Ben Heck's great Sega Exodus design and replicate it for ourselves? I'm really itching to take on the Radica Sega Genesis TV Games unit and custom-build his design (as he is a MUCH better designer than measly I).

i FINALLY got Ben Heck's book...

Jeez, after a YEAR of thinking about it, I finally buckled down and got one! I am actually going to ask several questions, but I want to get a GameBit screwdriver (b/c I don't have a grinding wheel) for the nonstandard Nintendo screws on the Mini Super Nintendo, among others...

I think that the ...
