Hi, I got ben's book for X-Mas and I'm gonna make a PSOne Portable, or "PortaStation" but I need a design for it that I can print out, so if someone would be so kind could you make a template that I can print? Thanks in advance.

Make your own.

He doesn't have one of those in his book. It was his first one and, come on, the newer ones are cooler!

Two things - firstly, if you want to make something original then you need to make something original; although you need to understand the dimensions of the components you will be using and the spaces they take up. Secondly, the name - when I was looking for a name for my project, "PortaStation" was one of the names discussed in my thread, but sounded like "PortaLoo" and other such things; which is why I didn't adopt the name! You need to come up with a name of a system which hasn't been used before, past or present; and relevant to the system you intend to make.

does the name really matter, though?

LOL that was my idea calling it the playboy. Nobody steal the name though, because in the future if I makr a ps1p, it will be called the playboy.

I was considering that name for a portable, but left it alone for obvious reasons.
