Start Lifting weights for this portable
Moderator:Moderators
Hi guys,
I don't think anyone has noticed, but I've been kind of quit lately. Mostly because I've been hard at work building my yet to be named portable.
Here are some pictures:
Front-Gameboy size comparison.

Well I'm not sure this officially qualifies as portable, but maybe. It's a Neo-Geo MVS MV-1 board. One of the original huge ones. It does have on-board stereo, though (too bad I've only got mono-going).
This isn't actually much bigger than the motherboard (15 inches by 11.5). I had a bear of a time getting all of the buttons to work. Right now, I'm leaning towards tearing it all apart & "Consolizing" it. I think due to the size it would probably be a better console. Well, tell me what you think.
Oh yeah, I must take a minute to thank Skyone, Iam7805, and Marhsallh (and everyone else at benheck & neo-geo.com that helped). I really couldn't have done this without them. Thanks guys.

wallydawg,
I never stopped going to yard sales, I just haven't had any luck lately .
Sword_Gun,
It's about 18 inches long by 12 inches wide and 1.5 inches thick.
Skyone,
Dpad is good, thanks for all your help!
CronoTriggerfan,
The battery and charger came from batteryspace.com I think this is the charger I use.

Hey, look at the bright side of the weight! Attach a metal chain & it doubles as a medieval torture device!
