Re: Which consoles haven't been portablized?
I know for a fact these systems haven't been portablized, along with the best reason I could come up with.
Magnavox Odyssey: Is not fun to play. Try carrying poker chips, cards, dice, overlays around.
Magnavox Odyssey 2: Has that stupid membrane keyboard, also bad games.
RCA Studio 2: Few available games, also it has terrible B&W graphics and a 555 timer "sound chip"
Coleco Telstar Arcade: Has a gun and steering wheel for some reason.
Fairchild Channel F: 64 bytes of RAM means the games are generally terrible. Tic tac toe anyone?
Bally Astrocade: Has big motherboard, weird power requirements, and runs hot
Intellivision: This is probably the only system I listed where it would be practical
Atari 5200: Has a HUGE motherboard and consumes lots of power.
Emerson Arcadia 2001: Few people know what it is (or was)
RDI Halcyon (rumored only 10 prototypes were ever made) It's also massive.
Jaguar CD: Bulky, plus has non locking CD spindle.
Commodore CD32: Too big, non locking CD spindle, lots of shovelware. (although I have one, sigh)
Pioneer LaserActive: HUGE! Too big even for a laptop.
Sega 32x: Hard to pack 3 circuit boards together (just the system) plus a screen, controls, etc.
Bandai Pippin: Big, power hungry, and few games.
So the only practical systems to portablize that haven't been done yet are the intellivision and 3D0?

Someone did trim down the 5200 mobo a lot, can't remember where I saw that.

I like the idea of a pong portable- I'll look into that.

Re: Which consoles haven't been portablized?
Exactly- I've got one and I'm gong to pick up another some time soon. Then again with it being so rare I'd feel bad hacking it like that.
EDIT- I hate that generalization- the PSX means PS1. Makes searching for an actual Japanese PSX DVR really hard.
