-how do you get a dreamcast to run off of an Ni-Cd battery? You have to connect a DC-DC converter and use the Ni-Cd batteries to that. And Ni-MH is better.
-Is it possible to make a Dreamcast laptop with the keyboard an mouse and a built-in controller? Yes it is possible, you will need to use a PS/2 keyboard and converter (same with the mouse) and a custom case.
-how do you connect a Dreamcast to a PSOne LCD? You wire the contacts for RGB or VGA to the corrisponding points on the PSone screen.
-Will benheckc make a portable dreamcast? We don't know.

Reason I'd say use a PS/2 converter is that the Dreamcast keyboard is big. It would be best to use a laptop size keyboard. Using something that is only 12" long is better then soemthing is 24" long.

Which one? If you'r talking about the keyboard... I.'d personally use the adapters and a slim keyboard. However you could just cut off the numaric pad on the DC keyboard, and get about the same thing. Really whatever you think is best, and would look best.
