Of course it'd be easy, it was just something I thought would be cool.

I love Altoids but no, it's not in an Altoids case. It'd be basically impossible to fit even a NOAC, screen and batteries in an Altoids case. The cartridge slot is too big.

I got the screen in today so I'm finalizing the design to cut tomorrow.

It's basically a really small NOAC portable with a 2.5" screen. In fact it's actually not much bigger than a GBA micro. Maybe .5" more on each side and .25" top and bottom. 5.25" x 2.625" x 1.6" I believe it is. There, no more mysteries.

It runs off 4 AA's and the cartridge slides in the bottom. So you basically hold the cartridge and the unit's at one end.

Should be pretty cool, I'm excited! Something else got delayed so I'm basically doing this 1) because I can 2) to have something neat for the G4 show in a week.

I'll probably post the pics, story next Thursday night. See it running on G4 next Friday.
