Anything I can do with this crap dreamgear?

Do you have a technical question that doesn't really fit a specific console? Want some general info on electronics, hacking, making cookies, etc? Here's the place to ask! Go nuts.

tape a screen on and call it a portable. (It works for banditpaw) Then use AA's to power it.

I've got about half a dozen of those. Useless. Use it for spare parts. It's not really hackable.

Battery contacts can be used to replace crappy ones in DMG's, GameGears, anything else that takes AA's. Buttons and membranes are always worth saving, in my experience. It's a decent switch, and the leads on that LED are long enough to be useful. The plastic can just be recycled,it's ABS.

What does the inscription on the MSI chip say?
