Here it is...

How do I make the flip up screen like in the Vagabond 2000? I think that is so cool, especially with the Jr. Pac-Man (nice choice Ben!).

there's a variety of ways to do it. The easiest way I can think of is to have the screen bulging out with a hinge on the bottom, and the wires behind the screen, prefferably at the bottom. You could make it flush, but that would be pretty hard.

I was thinking of making it as close to Ben's as possible. With little pistons and everything.

BTW, I just watched the pulse-pounding video, cool! I like the lightbulb simulated power of nature.

Use a dirtbike piston there like 2"long. THe only problem is all the calculations to get the hinges proper. And do you have access to a Laser or CNC machine? You'll need it.

Ben might help if you PM him. Theres always the drawing on a napkin too in the story of it...

Yeah.. I saw the napkin. I'll ask ben. I hope he's nice!

BTW, I was thinking of a name for my atari portable, and i wanted to do the Vagabond, exodus type of thing. Something that leaves, you know? SO iwas thinking... how about the AmbulATARI? Don't know how many people will get it though... so any ideas other than that?

Yay me! I helped someone again! Is it really that good? I just thought it went with the portable thing, and it is sorta like Dreamcast. Cool, now there is a new dreamcast in town!
