what you need:

1. handy famieight

2. gba external battery

3. any screen device with A/V input

4. last but not least, your favorite XXX-IN-1 famicom cartridge

connect it all together and voila, a portable Nintendo in only 5 minutes. no soldering, wiring or electronic knowledge needed. just plug and play.

the blurriness in the photo below is because of the cheap digital camera i used, the display is actually quite good. the handy fami eight console can use a gba sp for display, or tv. but the gba sp display is sh**.

the GBA SP display looks horrible , its all squished like the pocketNES emulator for gba flashcarts. i suppose if someone wanted to take it a step further you could rip out all the GBA stuff, have the rechargeable battery inside the case and wire a 2.5" lcd directly to the A/V and power. all those cables sticking out is kind of akward.

for display i used a jxd 683+. its one of the many cheap portabe media players/recorders from china. they can record from tv or play media files on tv. but they dont do much else. actually there all junk, they claim to do all these amazing things, but most of it is bull****. those chinese manufacturers will say anything to sell some cheap junk.

price list: (ebay)

handy famieight - $35
9800mah battery - $15
2.5" lcd screen - $40
famicom in1 cartridge - $14

nes nostalgia - priceless

Well, now you just need to repackage it so nothing comes apart when you're really button mashing playing contra.

Doesn't the JXD already play games? I hear that the NES, SNES, and Neo Geo emulators on it are the ones to play with. If so, what is the point of this contraption again?

the only portable devices that have decent emulation are "Gamepark32", and pocketPC's (PDA's). a 200mhz pocketPC will run SNES and TurboGrafx-16 at about 80% speed with sound. ive owned many different devices over the years in a futile attempt to have portable emulation, but its never as good as real hardware.

most cheap Chinese media players claim to have snes and nes emulation, but its extremely slow, no sound, and the graphics are horrible. the jxd ones are particularly bad.

Don't forget the GP2X and PSP, they both emulate through at least 16-bit more or less perfectly.

Nice combination of hardware!

I doubt that it is really a 9800mah battery....
