Anyone want a portable?

Post by **CronoTriggerfan** » Tue Jul 11, 2006 7:04 am

Since I've been bored (and poor) this summer, I thought that I should probably start doing something to pass the time (and make me money). So I decided I'm going to start selling a few of the portables I build. My first will be an Intellivision 10-in-1 games system as seen here in the middle. It would feature a HipGear, probably. Would anyone be interested in buying it? I can provide more tech specs as the project later on. It will go in the trading post when done. Perhaps as an auction if I get multiple offers?

Just with the 10 games or are you going to add a cart slot?

I've yet to open the unit up, but I know that on the inside there is either an NOAC or just an emulator. In either case, an Intellivision cart slot could not be added; so to answer your question, no.

Why not use the 25 in 1? Or are the extra games not as good?

I dunno; I can get a rough estimate after I calculate the raw price; I may just hold an auction-type deal in The Trading Post.

Well, Wal-Mart didn't have the 25-in-1 for sale at the time; plus, most of the 15 other games are just various clone-types of the first 10.

Not trading anything yet

! Just seeing if it would be worth the effort.

I don't see why this was moved

. I thought of it more as something like MaDnEsS's thread about the LED modded PSOne screens he was making, but whatever's cool for the mods I guess

. Anyways, here's what the portable will include:

Composite video
Mono sound
Headphone jack for sound
Intec 2.5 inch LCD display

The games included on the system are:
* Astrosmash
* Baseball
* Football
* Motocross
* Night Stalker
* Shark! Shark!
* Skiing
* Snafu
* Space Armada
* Star Strike

The side bar on this page has links to full descriptions, histories, and screenshots of those 10 games.

I also found out that the system uses an NOAC, but putting on a cart slot would of course destroy the concept of an "Intellivision" portable, wouldn't it

?

As for case design, I'm kinda split right now. I've come up with 2 options:
Option 1: Shove it in a project box. Simple, I know, but it works and delivers a factory (if not "boxy") feel.
Option 2: Fasten a hinge onto the top of the Intellivision NOAC itself, then attach the other end to the Intec LCD, making a folding GBA SP type deal. By the way, this is my favorite option, provided I can get it to work.

So, any takers? Or even the slightest bit interested?
