Dreamcast Atari

I'm probably getting an Atari Flashback 2.0 when it comes out soon, but I had an idea... how about butchering it up and putting it inside a Dreamcast pad? The screen would be where the VMU slot is (obviously cut for my 2.6 Pocket TV), it would have no Cartridge Slot (I'd leave in the Built In games, since Atari Games are impossible to get hold of anyway)

I've done something like that myself:

I'd seen that before! I didn't know it was yours, I'm not going to copy then.

Atari Games are impossible to get a hold of? They're only a bit less common then nes games.

Copy all you want, it's a free world. You might make a better looking one. I was going to try slipping the Flashback 2 into a ps2 controller with analog stick support.

Was the mobo too big?

That actually sounds like great insperation for my next project, I'll have to get my hands on one of those unofficial ones (because they are larger)

In Canada, It took me 2 years to find a working NES with Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt

Atari games are not impossible to get ahold of in the UK. There's a crapload on eBay UK right now.

From the looks of the mobo from here I'm not sure it would fit in a DC controller. Looks a bit too big.
