Learn some grammer, you will probubly get more replies that way! '

For a first thing, I wouldent make a portable, I would probubly build a GBA or something into a dreamcast controller just to get started. Then make a snes. DONT MAKE A PS2 PORTABLE AS YOUR FIRST! IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE!

I wouldent make a portable

of course you should make a portable! PS2 is a bit ambitious for a first so i would start with something a bit easier (doesn't have to be the easiest)

yeah, you should make a portable, don't get discouraged if people say you shouldn't or it's tough...the gamecube was/is my first portable........its tough, but it aint like uber hard. Just go with what you want. But remember, there will be some hardships in the progress......like i dropped my psone lcd the first day and the ribbon cable poped out..........but i fixed it and it works just fine

Just a note, you will want some spare cash, just incase if anything goes wrong.

I'm glad you've decided to use a ps1 instead. If you're going that route, you'll need the send version PSone, which is the smaller one and only needs one voltage to run. You can run it and the PSone screen straight off a Sony InfoLithium type L battery.

how to make cases

Unless your going to buy one of Ben's cases (one of the two in his book), your on your own making it otherwise.

But i really wanna do the vacuum case thing.

I was gonna make a portable gamecube, but held it off till, I'm a bit more ready. I decided to make a PS1P. I've only got the fatter edition, but when I opened it, one-third of it is empty space! I also have a PS2 I'm gonna consider portablizing because it's broken but still works (if you know what I mean).

Same reason for why i'm making a GCp...the DVD drive was all messed up, and would only play games for 2 minutes! But when i opened it up, i fixed the problem (the open-close switch must have been busted, cause when i soldered the blue wires together, it worked fine!).......it's sad when a Gamecube works better in a duct taped cardbord box with no fan, than in it's original casing

Do you mean a cardboard case, or a plastic type case?

supernoob · Post by **supernoob** » Mon Dec 19, 2005 6:53 pm

Cardboard?!?!?! Would that work? But no i meant carve a case out of wood.

Harshboy · Post by **Harshboy** » Mon Dec 19, 2005 8:22 pm

it worked for a computer i built, actually two...see, my friend had a pc and i said i would take the parts...so i put them in a box....then i had an idea! I actually built the pc in a cardboard box...........it was so sweet! It's specs were sweet too. I got a 1 ghz celeron with 386 MB Ram!!!!!!!!!! That is awsome! I got a 40 GB hdd with it too! Anyway........wood is no better than cardboard, and cardboard is easier....but it's your decision.......my gcp is in a cardboard enclosure...but when it's all done, i'm gonna put a layer of sheet metal over it, then put a plastic encloser over it.......In a couple days i will reveal my GCp in it's second case (first case was only seeable in the GCp music video i made) But, make sure you put fans in it...or else you could have some...um...fire hazards.......

It would be like this.............

Me: Hey wanna go play gamecube
Friend: Sure......hey whats that smell??
Me: Idk....
*walks into room with the GCp in*
Friend:

um.....
Me: Gasp! The gamecube is on fire!!!!!!!!!
Friend: You better call the fire-department
Me: Nah......they're probally still mad bout last time when the ps2 blew up, besides it's just a built in feature

Friend:

O brother.........
Me:
