I was thinking about a 2600 portable but i dont think my vader console works. The video cable is missing, so I plugged the video cable I have for my 7800 but it doesnt seem to fit correctly. (assuming that's how the 2600 video cable works, looks like there is a plug on the motherboard, there actually isnt a lot of info on 2600 motherboards online most of the ones i find are the hacked up 4x4's)

Don't want to hack it all up and have it be for naught lol. Any pics/diagrams of a flashback 2 cut down?

I have a gut feeling that there will be some good surprises coming from some new members here.

Question: I bought a case from a member on here. Can I still enter with the portable in the case if everything else was done by me?
I haven't been here in awhile, and looking back it's one of the worst ideas I ever had. I'm back and I'll be here for awhile, I was quite active 1 year ago and I hope to become that again.

Absolutely. I discussed this same issue with another contest entrant just the other day. The contest is about people choosing their favorite portable, not who is the best portablizer. Under that definition team efforts are okay. Just mention who did what and it should be okay.

I am going to restate this for everyone: ALL DISCUSSION AND QUESTIONS SHOULD BE IN THIS THREAD I AM LINKING TO RIGHT HERE, NOT IN THE SIGN-UP THREAD.

Okay, then sign me up! I could use some pressure to make sure I finish the portable on time.

Signing up as well, it's about time I did something productive over summer.

I've been on the fence (because I'm a terrible procrastinator), but I'm throwing my hat in the ring! Mixed metaphors FTW!

Not sure how my first portable will fare against the offerings of our resident gods of mod, but like everyone else, I'm going to try to crack the top 10. Hopefully this provides enough impetus to get it finished, and not at the last minute at great expense. :P

No, Brian, even with this many participants, you'll likely have one of the best portables. The number of participants means nothing if 70% of them make hotglue/polycase abominations. :P
what is this i don't even

Think of it like this, your facing me, marshallh, loveablechevy, Triton, and Rekarp.

Either way, your going to have a tough fight, I'm not going down easy!!
