What's the hardest portable to build? NOT A NOOB QUESTION!

Post by bicostp »

Now before ou go banning me, locking this post, or calling the Don, this is not a question for a noob. It's more of a survey, asking you all "What do you think is the hardest portable to build?".

This would work better as a poll (hint, hint, hint).

I think the n64 is pretty tough.

Of course, it's not nearly as hard to build if you use a modchip, but that's kinda against the law :P

every system combined into one portable (and no shortcuts with emulation and PCs)

Imagine the living hell you would go through by building a portable Intellivision. Not only is the thing huge, but imagine the ridicule you'd get!

Xbox would be easy if someone could figure out how to make its games work on a standard Windows 2000 machine.

emulation is cheating

its not that bad if you lose the disk drive and replace the hdd with a notebook one to lower the power draw

You don't need to emulate an XBox. It is x86, using a P3-derived processor. Like gannon said, if you use a modchip it'd be easier. I'm sure there is a way to mod a PC into an XBox but no one's gonna bother investigating that.
