A portable Comodore 64?

that probably uses a NOAC with emulated games. Or something of the like.

no, i think you can add everything to it, i think Kai got one and is hacking it.

Yeah, it's the entire C64 circuitry condensed into a single ASIC. It runs any C64 program and you can even connect a keyboard and disk drive up to it.

Problem is there is no compact alternitive to the disc drive and no way to connect a cart slot so a C64p is still out of reach.

Well, the only hint he gives is "It will shock the world!", so i'm going for XBox 360 for one of them. The other might be, hmmm... Playstation 9?

Wow, I thought I was over at the camerahacking forums almost!

It will probably be a gamecube so that he can play Mario Party 1523 on it..

heh, maybe a gamecube sans drive, hacked to boot off 2GB SD cards instead? That'd be excellent on power saving, and size reduction.

Now that's implausible

, XBOX, defienetely, for you CAN power it with the right baterries *cough SONY INFOLITHIUMS cough*, I think. And the other being an Atari 5200-7800-?Jaguar.

if he was making an x-box portable why not use a laptop battery, the x-box is after all just a computer

I think Ben's Atari portables use 7800 cart slots, so he HAS made one.

Considering what Ben has done with the Atari Laptop, and miniaturizing with the nes micro. I know some people might think this is the least possible, but I think Ben is going to do something with the PSP, and the Atari Jaguar. Call me whatever....but you never know. For all we know....Ben could be making a Laptop PSP with an 10 inch lcd. How crazy does my guess sound to you guys?

one is old??

It could be one of two things...

it's either a Maganvox Oddoesy... or it's a 1978 Space Invaders Machine Portable...

I choose the latter
