Arcade Action console able to be portabalized?

Post by BoomBox-Creations » Thu Nov 06, 2008 3:07 am

I jsut got my arcade action about 2 months ago, and i love it =D

all im asking, si if anyone has actually portabalised it before?

Or if it is actually possible?

I just dont want to pull apart something that ive spent $500 on, atleast not for another few months anyway....

So, if anyone has made one into a portable, or tried to, is it actually possible?

well, i know for some games like clay shooting wont work, well properly anyway, because you need the gun..... unless you can build a analog stick in with a lever... to controll and fire....

Thanks all =D

( well, technically i have 115 games on 2 cards... so..... yer.... )

( heres what it looks something like: Image altho thats not the same version i have, i have the first gen 1 i think... mines black... ( I don't shorten my links )

....You spent $500 on that? That looks like a noac.

For $500 you could have a PS3 and a small LCD TV.

Or Two 360s.

Hey, BoomBox-Creations; I have a piece of sandpaper you can buy for only $2000 if you want (ha,ha!).

Blimey - I bought one of these for £3 at a car boot sale ($5). See them a lot. At that price too, and boxed normally. :lol: $500 :lol: It's got the same crappy wannabe games as on many others (eg PowerJoy, etc). They put an N64 spinoff lookalike box on their system to make it look better.

Sure, I opened up one of these, removed guts, removed parts not needed (eg on 3 boards, made it use 2), relocated some bits, soldered the game cart directly to the board, squeezed the boards together and made into a home-made game cart on my Mini project (as pic below), on right.

Ended up 105 x 58 x 40mm, sections folded onto each other.

:roll:

Boombox: Cut the crap out, were all sick of it. You ARE lying, we can smell the bull-crap, 6000 for a psp mod, 500 for a NOAC!

We can all see that you are a greasy faced teenager (probably younger) Who sits on his computer all day lying your ass off instead of learning or working like the rest of us.

Please go Away, Or stop lying!

I hope you take this in mind!

I have seen crazy TV ads, but nothing ever that nuts. You have to be kidding me.

Yeah, he's lying. I don't think anybody in the world who knows how to even turn on a computer is stupid enough to 1) buy a video game directly off of TV or 2) do it in multiple payments.

i buy everything off of TV, and just for the record, most of you should know, i am in aus, so everything seems to cost more....

and i buy almost everything off the net or TV unless i can find it in shops...

First option - visit car boot sales / yard sales. Things are very cheap there - consoles £1-£10 each. Option 2 is E-bay.

As to "Being in Oz" - things are probably harder in the UK than Oz to get hold of cheaply. I manage it though.

where i am, we there isnt really any car boot sales or yard sales ( we call them garage sales... ) and when there are garage sales, theres really no stuff that you want or need, youd find the occasional game, but not what you really want....

and like i said, depending on where you are in australia, things donnt really go cheaply...

but where i am there are sunday markets every 2 to 4 weeks, but most of the stands are either related to plants, food or fabrics.....
