first portable

Post by evza134 »

Hey,
Im just wondering about what would be the least difficult portable to make thats not an atari, Because I am planning on making my first portable! :o Using my christmas money.




Off topic:
. I use big words because i cant remamber how to spell the small ones
. If you want to figure out how much i have to pay for things grab a calculator and devide by roughly .75
I love, Commas! Woah, That sounded, Weird.

The SNES is the easiest. It'll cost you about $60 to whatever you want to spend on it. As well as the screen. The PSone screen does often go for $60 alone.

Not if you poke around on eBay, and try not to be hasty. I got my PSOne screen for $41 shipped.

I'd say the easiest would be a NOAC portable, followed by the PSOne and then the SNES. I'd definitely recommend starting with an NOAC. They're cheap, small, easy to work with, and an added bonus, EVERYONE loves the NES! :lol: Good luck.

Shock: I didnt say they were easy, I just dont like them.
Everyone else: Thank you very much!

EDIT: Now I need to find a N.O.A.C.

(I used to think noac was a lack of ac power :))

Definatly psone. No need to rewire the cart slot. Screen works fine, no changes needed to make it run. Uses little current.

PSONE ALL THE WAY!

I think ill do a noac port.
It probably will end up in some random plastic things duct taped together.
* hey an alarm clock hmmmmm and an airsoft, oh no steel b.b's hahaha?
Theres something that looks like a noac at k mart (nes style graphics and gun settings).



Merry Christmas,
