A good place (for those who have never even heard of a soldering iron)to start out is with these '130 in one'learn about electronics kits.They are made by some company called Maxiton(i think)They're a perfect place to start for hopeless newbies(like me

)I played with one of these for about two weeks,and i will soon be ready for my first portable!

Try it

fellow newbies!

I know.But i mean for those(like me)who just discovered what a soldering iron is.I read his book,but didn't want to destroy my (sorry.I want the syseme to be a surprise

).So i just wanted to say that newbies should try this before taking apart their video game systems.

portablize

portablizing

portablized

Actually, portablize isn't even a real word, so it doesn't matter how you spell it

emulation- An uncultured child's alternative to portablization. ex: "Emulation is like masturbation..."

As for the word portablize, I used it in one of my formal explanations of what my personal project is for my sophomore year (making a SNESp). The teacher, upon reading it, circled it and said "Not sure if its a word...but I like it!".
