Well so far I just started this, as something random and cheap to make while earning cash for my Dreamcast laptop. Well the only part i have done is a case for it, I need to dremel out a C button hole.
If anyone has a 2.5" intec screen they would sell for $20 with shiping that would help me out allot, and I'm gonna grab a Radica this weekend, should be all done by the second week of July.
The case needs a good paint job, I'm thinking of going with flat black.
Oh well that's about all I can ramble about so far.

I'm probably going to add the cartridge slot, so I can play road rash, and my Sega SmashPak so I can play Shinobi and super hang-on on the go
Wish me luck on not breaking 5 putting on the slot The cartridge slot itself is the exact width of the Gameboy case and the carts stick out a tiny bit tho Oh well it doesn't look that bad on size of carts. Should a radica, and hipgear screen run off of 4 aa's? Or is that not enough power? I couldn't remember if a radica had 4 battery's or 2.
Lets hope my funds stay up , My dad wants me to buy a new Dreamcast with my money because *HE* broke it! He wants a sealed in box one to...I even fixed my old one that I got at launch too like 2 months ago and this one works fine but he still wants a different 1
Oh well radica and hipgear = $40 max so I should be able to get that much back, unless my dad tried to forbid me from making portables again
Lol sorry I went on so long.. Well I better get to sleep it's 2:37AM were I live.. I have insomnia and am up till like 6 in the morning and only get 1 hour of sleep
Well anyway thanks, and also good luck on yours, it seems to be coming along well, I also realized the name of my post seems like a ripoff of yours! I couldn't think of anything else but work log
I'm such a smiley whore...

Have you ever seen the Radica chip? There's some damn small surface mount traces that are easy to jump, and the chip itself fries easily. Cart slot relocation is a walk in the park compared to adding a slot to a Radica!THON wrote:Good luck adding the cartridge slot.
Although I don't understand why it's supposedly so hard? If you can rewire a cartridge slot why couldn't you add one in? Is there some kind of obstacle I'm missing?
Edit: Radica runs off of 4 AA's.

True dat! Lol hopefully the dreamcast I'm getting will still leave me with enough cash to get the screen or it will still plug into the tv for the next month or two
Still wish I could have afforded a Saturn from epicenter Oh well..
Oh and BTW I heard you pulled and all-nighter and lost an eBay auction, That makes two of us!
I'll keep an eye out for a cheap screen for you

I have risen this post from the grave! And I might be able to win a screen on eBay in the morning. I finally have some cash, so I'm gonna try and get this done. I need a Radica too... My mom said K-mart had them for $10, if that's true I'll be getting that. My Genesis cart slot got beet up a bit, but I think I can fix it. If not, Sonic games are good enough for me I only have like 4 Genesis carts anyway.
