What should i do with this?

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

You could put it in the microwave. You could also make it into a projector:

Actually, making a projector usually works better with a 15" XGA LCD and an old overhead. You get a clear 6' image and you save about $1,000. I like the pocket TV idea though, you should try it with the RCA one Ben used on one of his VCSps. That one has a pretty good resolution for a pocket TV.

You should send it to me along with $30 (or more if you want to) :D

Really, make a NESp. That's the only system, I can think of that it would really work for.

I've been thinking that someone should do that, I said it about the Radica Genesis portable too, since the Nomad actually had a TV tuner available. Heck, why are we actually leaving the TV tuners attached and not extending the tact switches anyway? All it needs to become a TV again is an SPDT switch on the side.
