You use E.T. or Missile Command case for that thing?

Looks small, I'm wondering where you got the AOAC, cause I know my FB2 will not fit in a 2600 cart, though I wish it did.

Flashback 2 Portable

* Cut down Flashback 2 board
* 2.5" LCD Screen
* 3.7V Lithium Battery Pack (internal)
* Second Player Port
* Inside an Atari 2600 Cart

I am assuming that status has been updated from Grey Matter... Also, I too hope it was an ET cart, it would have a better life being a portable then sitting in a landfill.

Having some issues with the power. Boosting 1.2V to 5V and having .5amps to play with is rough on circuits

I absolutely love it, but it doesn't exactly look comfortable to play

what aoac are you using
this is one small atari portable
I like your idea of using an atari cart as a case

Sound test. Working fairly well now. Power is still an issue but I modified my components so that everything runs off of 3.3V...Even the screen (Ain't AeiComp screens grand?)!!

Its a bit easier going from 1.2 to 3.3 so I might beable to make the jump without to much lose in power.

I did order a 3.7V lithium battery just encase this doesn't work out.

The whole portable with sound at full volume draws 350mAh which is the lowest power consuming portable I have worked on so far.

I wanted to install a second player port but there is absolutely zero room left inside this case. If I ever make a wooden version of it then I would make a it a tad bit bigger to make it fit.

Nice work! That thing is so tiny! I just have two questions, where did you get so much awesome, and could I borrow some?
