Hello everybody! I had and idea today 9ok it wasnt my idea i copied it from someone) to make a NES laptop. Ive really always wanted to make
but I never knew the supplies. So could someone help me out ant tell me what ill need and how much its gonna cost. And if you do figure out what I need can you tell me the place or website for it? And one more thing (sorry) can I have a tutorial for it or something?

Well if it were going to be something like the Atari 800 Laptop... You're looking at the price it cost to make a NESp anyways, You'll likely want (at smallest) a PSone screen, and make a nice custom case (I'd say CNC).

but then how is that considered a laptop? its basicly just a nes portable. Right?

and maybe put a noac inside or on the outsie the case wahtever you do it will be extremly hard........i think maybe im just talking out my ass here and have no clue what you could do but this would be cool.

An NES laptop would really be more like a NESp SP.

If you want a homebuilt laptop, go with something like a Coleco ADAM or a TI 99/4a or a C64, or even an Atari 400/800; one of the old TV computers from the early 80s.

I dont want to do the atari 800 because its already been done. And ive seen all of the otherones online but what do they do? It seems like all they do is have little drives to put things in and write programs. Even though thats pretty cool.... But would I actually have a chance of getting one of those old machines? I actually had an idea to do the atari 400.
