Portable concept help???

[AWeaver1990]

I want to make a portable, the same exact way the nes and snes portables are made if possible but run off a flash cart instead of changeable games. I was thinking about it the other day and carrying a bag of games i can complete in a couple hours on holiday or trips isn't practicle...any ideas or advice? What would be the best way to go about it?

I actually had an Idea Just Like that I'm Not sure about the SNES part but the NES Part I would buy a PowerPlay *http://www.retrousb.com/product_info.ph ... ucts_id=34* , Desolder The NES Cartige Slot, Open up the Power play Cart and Solder it directly to the NES Board. Thats Just a basic Idea but do you understand What I mean?

Buy a 76 in 1 noac.

Or, you know, actually do stuff on vacation?

[AWeaver1990]

mmoshkowich, i do get what you mean but i was meaning a little more recent. for example a better hardwared portable with a gba flash cart built in. that way i could plug the usb into the side and load on any games i wanted. And kurt...rainy days and long journeys. Enough said.

Cheaper solution: GP2X.

palmer, i did look into that and please correct me if i'm mistaken, but i got the impression a lot of the emulators lagged? i'd love if it were that simple...

Just about anything 2D GBA or older will run virtually fullspeed on the most recent emulators for GP2X.

[palmertech]

Most of the reviews that say that are really old. The GP2X runs NES, Gameboy Color, Genesis, a bunch of others, and SNES full speed on all games except for starfox and a few other 3d snes games, and it runs most GBA games at full speed (Although some need 1-2 frameskip to work perfectly).

The GP2X is incredible, most everything runs well.

[AWeaver1990]

Alright then. building an SNESp and buying a GP32X is the decision. Thanks for the help and advice.

A PSP kicks the GP2X butt in the emulator field now.

[palmertech]

Not for MAME.

And besides, this guy does not sound super-tech savvy. The PSP is a lot harder to get running homebrew than a GP2X, which does it out of the box. And at least for SNES and NES, they both emulate it perfectly.
