Which consoles haven't been portablized?

Also, which consoles should be? It seems like all the major systems have been covered by hackers, but what about some of the obscurities? Has anyone ever attempted, say, a micro Astrocade, or a shrinky dink Fairchild Channel F? Are the motherboards for these systems small enough to pull off such a mod? Would it even be worth the trouble since they're so esoteric? Inquiring minds want to know!

Dont talk crap about Saturn haha, it was awesome; Virtua Fighter, Panzer Dragoon Series, NiGHTS, Sega Rally/Daytona USA, Working Designs RPGS (such as Albert Oddessey, Magic Knight Rayearth, Dragon Force [not the band thankfully]), Shining Force III, Guardian Heroes, etc.

Don't forget all the imports which there is tons of great stuff in there as well.

My first computer/console was a coco II. I've never seen anyone portablize it. It would definitely be best suited as a laptop, and I really doubt anyone would spend the time or money it would take to do it.

Basically a Saturn portable would be almost the same size and thickness as the Saturn console itself.

I was thinking about it but just to big and bulky.

Really? Ben did one: http://benheck.com/04-14-2008/apple-iig ... are-laptop" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The IIc had a lcd screen and you could pick up third party batteries for it.

Barely.
A truly wise man can entertain a thought without accepting it. A fool cannot withhold past judgments but instead closes his mine to new possibilities. Someone who wants to innovate simply needs to forget what everyone says isn't possible.
