Serious portalizers

how many serious portalizers are here? That means people who have actually built a portable or are currently working on one, not just all the wannabes who come to surf the forums and wish (ie "I'm gonna build a portable mainframe someday")

In all actuality I can't see myself building a portable. Sure, I'd like to and the concept interests me, but I'm far to lazy to rewire cartrage slots and/or large power consumption issues on the consoles that I own. Plus I don't have a multimeter or an acceptable workstation.

I have a few ideas I'm kicking around though, so maybe someday...

I just finished a Radica portable for Jeffslot a couple minutes ago. I'm a pretty intense porabilizer, you could say.

Well, out of the 1.5 thousand members, it seems only a hundred are regulars. Even less have built a portable(s) (check portablesofdoom.org)

Mines like 75% done. The case is taking longer than I thought, but it's looking really good. The really really serious portablizers that I know of that sell their work for money are dkap01, cherubino, and ben of course.

i guess i could be considered a serious portablizer. i've been working on an N64p for over a year and am about to finish it (the batteries are charging for the 1st time right now). i've run into so many roadblocks (3 dead N64s, temporarily dead screen, dead battery, temporarily dead charger, 3.3v stuff, malfunctioning R button, 2 dead controllers, fitting stuff into the case, 4 cart slot relocations, excessive and un-nessessarily long roadblock list...). it was supposed to be done in february but the new deadline is 2 weeks from now.

Eh, I'm not a serious portablizer...but I'm enjoying making my snesp. The case is taking forever though, not to mention im still waiting for my orders of plastic to come in
