Which consoles haven't been portablized?

TRS-80 portable! You'd have to integrate a cassette tape drive somehow...maybe use one of those pocket voice recorders with the mini-tapes.

Hmm...I have a TRS-80 micro color computer sitting in my closet unused, I could make a portable out of it...

LOL. 1) not a console 2)Tandy beat you to the punch many times over. (Model 100 series, PC [Portable Computer] series, etc.)

Both true. Also debatable is the usefulness of a computer that can only run BASIC. But no one's made a portable out of a TRS-80 color computer!

I'd personally vote for the Pong portable. There was one of those at MGC, and it was quite fun.

Ok let's go down the list

Atari 5200
Colecovision
Intelivision
Sega Master System
Neo-Geo CD
CD-I (but, there are official portables of that)
3DO

That's all of the consoles I know of that I know haven't had portables made yet.

I think you're thinking of the Atari 2600, seeing as there's no Flashback of the Atari 5200. I don't think there is one of a 3DO, although there was a lot of discussion on this forum.

i thought the FB2 had 5200 support? and i swear i saw a 3do.

Ben's done a Colceovision

No, not in the least. The FB1 had a couple of 7800 games on it, but that wasn't any form of AOAC, and may have even been a NOAC with ported games.

Colecovision - done by ben himself


Sega Master System - by sam_thornley

if they have they are probably locked in their basement waiting for the crowd of people with torches and pitchforks

I'm pretty sure I saw an earlier one (before the NES 2 was considered a 'rare collectible' as much as they are now) that used one. Unfortunately that site is long gone, it was on a site with a guide for making a portable NES using a toaster's motherboard, and this was one of the user submissions.

ZX spectrum. I know its more of a computer but the C64 got its own portable so...

I have one torn up and ready for a portable I just need a case, and its at my other house.
But let me tell you, getting video was difficult. I think it isnt finished because I still need audio (On hold since fall 08)
