Re: New NESportable, Unnamed. 56k warning

yeah its a beast, but its fun to bust it out when people aren't expecting it for some one on one Dr. Mario. :) My screen is the main reason its so big. Its a 5.4 inch cathode lit screen, so its wide and thick. Even with my case being 4 inches thick I just barely clear the screen over the NES ...
