It really shows how short the attention spans are in here....
At the end of the article, it points to a link to popsci's website.
'... Find the complete chapter on creating this portable at http://www.popsci.com/how2 ...'

From the website, you can access a pdf of the whole chapter of his book.

73 pages long. :twisted:

Bask in the DIY SNES portable glory. :D

If you guys can wait popsci.com has the entire issue put up on the website once the month comes around so the first of March you can search the site and post a link here.

Man! I just finished "reading" (looking at the pretty pictures mostly) it and, I am very impressed! :D I gotta get the book :shock:

It answered so many of my questions! Like: what did he use for the sides of the case? How did he cut out the D-pad shape? And what the heck did he use for screwposts? All answered and it cost me nothing!
I almost feel like I'm stealing :oops:

You know, I've come to realize something: Our partnership is kinda like Apple in the early days. You are like Steve Wozniack, who did all the work, and I'm like Jobs, who did the marketing and talking with others
