Your lives revolve around not telling anybody anything and then reveling in the fact that you know something that we don't. Congrats on winning! I don't want your copulate life story. Just some direction. Besides, the forums do not have step-by-step tutorials because poop egress like you never tell anybody anything. You just say "i made this, now figure out how i did it"
Your dicks are so small and you never get any pussy so you hold your soldering skills over everyone and now your a stud. Get real.

What are we supposed to tell you?! Did you know that 99.9% of members here HAVE NOT built a Dreamcast portable? So if that is the case, how are we supposed to tell you how to build one, or even give you the "schematics" as you call them (Which there aren't, by the way).
The best way to go about building any portable, be it an Atari, a Dreamcast, or evan an XBOX 360, is to read through other people's worklogs on their experiences of building one. As you read through things, you'll learn how they find and fix problems, their design processes, creating the electronics, case design, etc., etc. There are no definitive guides on how to build a portable, just general outlines to follow. That's why all the portables created here are unique.
I'll help you out though with a few worklogs of other member's portables. Give them a read and you'll find all the useful info that you need to build your own.
Hailrazer's DreamTrooper
Techknott's Dreamcast Handheld
-=FamilyGuy=-'s DCp
Give those a whirl, and then come back asking any questions you still might have. At least then, you'll have some background info and people will be more willing to try to help you. You DO have to learn to accept that people aren't ALWAYS going to be able to answer your questions. If they don't know the answer, how can they help you?
Also, penis size has no relevance in building portables. Grow up.

Huh, I never knew we kept secrets. *Glances at stickies* I suppose the noobs will never find out how to build stuff, since so many just ask how to make portables and never think to look at the stickies or previous build threads. (no offense to the noobs who actually read stickies and search stuff before posting. You guys are quite welcome here.)
Tat2artist, if you want to leave and not buy Ben's book, it is only your loss. There is plenty of imformation here and in the book that you will be passing up.

a great deal of community colleges offer basic electronics courses for not a whole lot of money. there a great place to go if you want somebody to teach you basic knowledge about electronics. an internet forum populated mostly by 12-16 year olds isnt.but again like I have asked I dont understand the powering problems with dreamcast nor do i understand if i use the multimeter and i see a 12v how to step it down to 8v or whatever is needed on any modification as I do not understand which resistors to properly use or how the circuit works and if it even recharges the battery as well as certain batteries need the extra chip. and does this chip need different wiring that may or may not interfear with the recharging of the battery and so forth. again tutorials needed.
when i joined this forum i was a sophmore in highschool, there were only 38 other members at the time. i had to learn pretty much everything on my own as i went, i started with n64 and killed several in the process of learning how to solder, to use batteries and the like.
we dont keep secrets. If you search google or these forums you will most likely find any info you need IF YOU CANT find what info you need THEN you can ask a properly phrased question in the apropriate section of the forum. thats how it works. asking "how do i build this portable" or "i didnt do any research how do i hook up a battery to this" kind of crap wont fly.Your lives revolve around not telling anybody anything and then reveling in the fact that you know something that we don't. Congrats on winning! I don't want your screw life story. Just some direction. Besides, the forums do not have step-by-step tutorials because poop egress like you never tell anybody anything. You just say "i made this, now figure out how i did it"
insulting the people who are here to help you is just a stupid thing to do. we arent going to hold your hand to begin with then insulting us is making us less and less likely to respond to ANYTHING you say with any kind of helpful input. you get what you give, you throw insults at us you arent getting SH!T in the way of assistance. be polite, use proper punctuation and spelling, do research on your own THEN come back to us and maybe we can help
Visit us at Portablesofdoom.org
Take it from someone who has built a Dreamcast portable, all the information you need is on here. I built one with a little help from family guy through pm's but most of the information you need is right here on the forums. There really isn't much you need to do and for that stuff you do need to do it can be found in others build logs. Such as, you use a Pico Psu to power it, there are pin outs of the AV port to figure out what pin does what, the PSone screen is possibly the most documented and highly used 5" screen and there is LOADS of information not only on this forum but everywhere on the internet about how to use one and mod it, controls can be found in EVERY single person's build log as to what controller to use. It's really not as hard as it's cracked up to be. For my DCP it took me 2 weeks to do the electronics stuff, such as wiring it up and figuring out everything, and the remainder of the time was spent doing the case (which didn't look to good but oh well) But regardless you can find the info you need and if you have a simple question such as, How do I hook a battery up? PM someone that has built one and they will answer your question.

umm yeahh .. google? there are many people doing it besides right here as soon as im done with this tutorial ill retype something similar with pictures documenting steps for the people that arent d-bags and are here to learn something. and yeah there are faster cheaper methods to doing this than going with the pico unit. as well as descriptions of different types of circuits and which are used and why and it all makes perfect sense now. and yes from people on the web through google not this website again ill upload it when im finished.Mario wrote:Wahahahah!Tat2artist wrote:and yes i have found tutorials on how in detail to create the dreamcast portables online
Nice joke.

"Site Specific Search: Often, you want to search a specific website for content that matches a certain phrase. "
Tip number 3 tell you how to search ONE website using google. This may come as a shock, but there is more than one website on the internet. I think you just went and found some article to act like you have a basis, you what relevance does that have to me? If anything, you should use that very tip to search these forums for info instead of demanding a tutorial.
And stop acting like there is some secret Chinese modding forum, we have CHinese members, they come here despite the language barrier because we are the ONLY portable forum on the web! Get that?
And I doubt you can read Chinese, you have a hard enough time trying to resemble English.
