Man I wish I could get mine finished.

I'm just being way to anal about making it as close to perfect as possible....

I have to work the next three days out of town , but that will give me Friday, Saturday and half of Sunday to finish.

Man competition is rough.

I am absolutely 100% using those in my next portable. Tact switches are okay, but the squishy feel = longer gaming sessions and a more "original" experience. Plus, if you're making a SNES or NES portable just buy some 4021's and no controllers need to be sacrificed! I had to kill three for my latest portable... Stupid controller issues...

I've got a portable about halfway done that I started this month, can I enter that?
EDIT: Once I finish it, that is.

Just clarifying rules for the submission thread - would it be best if everyone just submitted one picture along with a description and/or links to more pictures or videos or whatever? I'm thinking about making a separate News thread for documentation reasons in addition to a new YouTube video.

Well that's what I'm going to do.

One pic, one video and description. And then a link to the build thread that I will make at the same time in the appropriate forum.

I have like 40 pics of the build, I need a thread for mine

I must say, that portable you've got yourself is godly, Brian.

Though I've never been a fan of analog sticks (or even "digital" sticks) for 2D games, how's yours fare?
