Hello you guys I stubled accross this website when I was searching google. Ok I am trying to make a portable that I can actually use. But the only problem is im on a tight budget. I only have about 50 dollars. What should i do? I get allowance but the next allowance is the end of january. My mom doesnt want to give me money through january because its the month after christmas. So maybe can u guys help me out? I hope so.

NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. the cheapest one is maybe the PSp, as you might get lucky on a PSone with Screen combo for under $50. Other portables are not cheap, or other consoles are not cheap, and screens are almost the most expencive thing your going to buy.

If you're not too worried on looks you could build a cheap NOAC portable.
$20 - NOAC
$30 - Hipgear screen pad
along with some modding and glue it should work fine.

WOW, nice gannon, didn't think it could be so wallet-friendly, but it's still to expensive for my momma i think...

Eiether do an OAC (onachip) or do a Genesis 3 Portable. Small and cheap.

you could always make an all-in-one thing, like my atari. It needs a separate screen, but it is still pretty cool
