A portable Comodore 64?

[totokan]

that probably uses a NOAC with emulated games. Or something of the like.

[madc0w]

no, i think you can add everything to it, i think Kai got one and is hacking it.

[marshallh]

Yeah, it's the entire C64 circuitry condensed into a single ASIC. It runs any C64 program and you can even connect a keyboard and disk drive up to it.

i saw one yesterday for like 12 dollars, but the place was WAY too corwded, i would have had to wait for like twenty minutes

Problem is there is no compact alternitive to the disc drive and no way to connect a cart slot so a C64p is still out of reach.

[Corscaria]

Well, the only hint he gives is "It will shock the world!", so i'm going for XBox 360 for one of them. The other might be, hmmm... Playstation 9?

[marshallh]

Wow, I thought I was over at the camerahacking forums almost!
It will probably be a gamecube so that he can play Mario Party 1523 on it..

[Corscaria]

heh, maybe a gamecube sans drive, hacked to boot off 2GB SD cards instead? That'd be excellent on power saving, and size reduction.

Now that's implausible , XBOX, defienetely, for you CAN power it with the right baterries *cough SONY INFOLITHIUMS cough*, I think. And the other being an Atari 5200-7800-?Jaguar.

[Turbo Tax 1.0]

if he was making an x-box portable why not use a laptop battery, the x-box is after all just a computer

I think Ben's Atari portables use 7800 cart slots, so he HAS made one.

[Arnold Schwarzenegger]

Considering what Ben has done with the Atari Laptop, and miniaturizing with the nes micro. I know some people might think this is the least possible, but I think Ben is going to do something with the PSP, and the Atari Jaguar. Call me whatever....but you never know. For all we know....Ben could be making a Laptop PSP with an 10 inch lcd. How crazy does my guess sound to you guys?

[Unidentified Assilant]

one is old??

It could be one of two things...

it's either a Maganvox Oddoesy... or it's a 1978 Space Invaders Machine Portable...

I choose the latter

[Jeff]

So when are we going to find out what they are?
