If I'm a beginner...

Ok, but how would I make my own case? (If its cheaper I want to do it cause I am pretty low on cash).

Well, for one, you could try frankencasing. Look for a case from anything lying around that looks like it would be good for a ps2. I think somebody actually used the ps2's original case for their portable.

Or you could try vacume forming. You just make a nice mold out of clay (make sure you sand it good) and vacume form plastic over it. Keep in mind though, that there are additional costs to making a vacume forming table.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the case from the book

Nothing wrong with making a custom case; it gives it character.
You're right, though...

ok so I might do vacume forming, or frankencase my brocken game gear.

Gamegear will not work.

It will, however, work for N64 and lower.

really? So if I want to make a portable NES I could use my gamegear case?

[palmertech]

If you use an NOAC, yes, very, very easily.

NOAC?

NES-on a Chip

Its what most people use.

You know those cheap NES-clones that you get at flea markets?
They all have NOACs. Its so small.

You can get one for less than $50

[XCVG]

I got one for like 15 dollars (canadian). But it only has really crappy hacks on it. Well actually some of them are okay. Like the "Derby" game. Excitebike with a car, lol.

Ok, but will it also be ok if I want to make a portable NES out of my own NES?

[eurddrue]

N64 and lower.

Don't listen to this guy. You have too have Ub3r1337haax0rskillz to make an n64p in a gamegear case.
NOAC (maybe, it's awfully cheap...)
