The book has an entire section devoted to making an NESp out of an original NES motherboard.

Dude, that's like going to a game forum, and asking for a copy/iso of it. DUH! :roll:

Yeah, it is illegal and wrong since the book is so aw35om3. You should go and buy it, it is more helpful than anything you can ever imagine. It tells how to make 8 different portables, hack pocket TVs and PSone LCDs with LEDs to about double the battery life (or triple it in the case of the PSone LCD), learn basic electronics including voltage regulation, a basic guide to soldering and desoldering, and finally, how CNC machines work. It even tells how to open the mini-SNES!

If you don't have the money for the book, stockpile it until you do. It is only $29.99 anyway, though it should be worth twice that.

If you don't have enough money for the book, then you sure don't have enough money for everything that you'll need to make a decent portable.

The just go it on the info on the site, and in the forums. The idea of aNESp is rather easy. Just connect the device to a small screen that accepts a TV input . Past that, it's mostly design you'll have to wrok through on your own. If you're using an NOAC, then you'll have to attach a cart slot. Ask us about that if you need to. We'll show you where and how. Be ready to solder, and be thinking of a case. portableizationing is a personal thing, you have to do a few things on your own. But we'll help as much as possible. Now, vamanos!

What exactly do you have? You will need (obviously) a NES, a screen (we like the PSone screen because it's cheap and the white LED mod makes it power efficent), a battery (something that holds a fair amount of power, the NES isn't that efficent), and materials to make a case (which can cost anywhere from free (cardboard box) to $150 (CNC cut polycarbonate, also includes operating charges). If you're going with the cardboard box method, I'd suggest using strong cardboard and applying spray paint to it before you start.

I'd suggest getting a NOAC, theyre only 25 dollars and use very little power. And it also means you're not ripping open a NES.

If he can't afford the book, he probably can't afford an NOAC, heck it's only $5 less than the book. I'd stick with the NES if you already have one, the only problem you might have is desoldering the RF box, but all that takes is time.

You can get one for 15.99, but you know shipping... Expensive
Mine was about 22$ after shipping, pretty nice. It was a 3rd version.
But other places charge as much as 35$!

As for your portable.... Get all of the things you need. If you've made one before, you'll know what to get. Basically, hook it up to a battery, make it as small as possible, hack up controllers and screens, design a case for EVERYTHING, and put it together with a case.

How can you buy an Atari board, but not a book. You're local library might have the book.
