I love your work, but one question.

Why don't you flip the cart connector over so the cart faces up ?

Looks like it is only a matter of taking out two bolts and flipping it ???

Impossible. When I do cart slot relocations i use the bare minimum length needed to make the distance so flipping it is impossible. Also I don't own it anymore. :wink:

But for future portables...maybe..

I'm going to need a few days to decide the order of my vote - they're all so good! I'm glad voting is open until Friday.

Well, I voted; tough, though, it really came down to LoB and hailrazer. Ultimately, I decided on LoB for #1 due to the overall cleanliness of it and the cool "analog" stick, but damn, it was a tough decision. I admire the fact that hailrazer took such a ballsy move from a design standpoint, and it was executed beautifully. Oh well... :(

Yeah! People actually voted for me! :D

I am going to have to think hard about this, LOB is awesome, hailrazer has an interesting design (Although you did butcher a perfectly good hori mini pad... They fetch at least $60 on ebay). And mine was built by me to be what I want, so I have to admit, it looks pretty good to me. :lol:

On a side note: I noticed SS voted for himself... Does that mean people can vote for themselves? TBH, because I built my portable to be exactly what I wanted, I would probably end up voting for it. Just wanted to know if that is permissible.

Yep. Check the feature list again, I added GPS, BLUETOOTH, MOTION SENSING, BETTER SCREEN, MUCH BIGGER (2000mah vs 600mah) BATTERY, ETC, ETC.

In bold for people who missed those features on my feature list. :)

Well, current project is restoring about 30 DOA consoles and reselling them for profit. I'm desperately in need of the income, so fun projects are on hold.

It will be finished, and it will be shown here. I quite literally have no fear of someone stealing the idea, it just won't occur to you guys.
so what is it? im itching to know
