I need help...
I've been convinced by my friend 2 start in this portabilizing stuff.
I have $300 bucks 2 spend and i want to make a decent portable.
What is the easiest one to make?

I can actually help u with this

A noac portable, like the one i am doing is what i have been told to be the easiest, or one of the portables in bens book.

Oh and by th way he means 300 australian, not that that makes too much difference.

aaahhhh but when i was going to start a snes everyone said that it would break, and that i should do a noac.

its pretty hard to break
in some other topic a lot of people said snes was one of the easiest portables as well

well the good news is that i havent bought a noac yet, most of my favorite games are for snes's anyway. But i live in Australia like V3ndetta and we have to use pal snes's, my mum dropped my mobo on the floor XD.

Portables -

Consoles -

If you want TOO EASY = NOAC
If you want easy and unbreakable = SNES
If you want to break 7 consoles in the process = N64
If you don't mind a spinny thing on your portable = Playstation
If you want HARD = GCN, PS2, XBox
If you are a genius = Wii, XBox 360
If you are a devil = PS3
If you are SATAN HIMSELF = CDi

That made me laugh. It's a pretty accurate list though lol

Too bad the N64 turned out to be so breakable, it has a real nice motherboard, and is the most advanced system to use carts, which are our friends. For that reason its also pretty good on battery (with a dc-dc it draws only about an amp w/screen)

not that Im trying to convince anyone to do one or anything... Im just...
