Which consoles haven't been portablized?

[Rekarp]

what about the nes2? has anyone done that?

if they have they are probably locked in their basement waiting for the crowd of people with torches and pitchforks

I have one torn up and ready for a portable I just need a case, and its at my other house.
But let me tell you, getting video was difficult. I think it isnt finished because I still need audio (On hold since fall 08)

I know for a fact these systems haven't been portablized, along with the best reason I could come up with.

Magnavox Odyssey: Is not fun to play. Try carrying poker chips, cards, dice, overlays around.
Magnavox Odyssey 2: Has that stupid membrane keyboard, also bad games.
RCA Studio 2: Few available games, also it has terrible B&W graphics and a 555 timer "sound chip"
Coleco Telstar Arcade: Has a gun and steering wheel for some reason.
Fairchild Channel F: 64 bytes of RAM means the games are generally terrible. Tic tac toe anyone?
Bally Astrocade: Has big motherboard, weird power requirements, and runs hot
Intellivision: This is probably the only system I listed where it would be practical
Atari 5200: Has a HUGE motherboard and consumes lots of power.
Emerson Arcadia 2001: Few people know what it is (or was)
RDI Halcyon (rumored only 10 prototypes were ever made) It's also massive.
Jaguar CD: Bulky, plus has non locking CD spindle.
Commodore CD32: Too big, non locking CD spindle, lots of shovelware. (although I have one, sigh)
Pioneer LaserActive: HUGE! Too big even for a laptop.
Sega 32x: Hard to pack 3 circuit boards together (just the system) plus a screen, controls, etc.
Bandai Pippin: Big, power hungry, and few games.

So the only practical systems to portablize that haven't been done yet are the intellivision and 3D0?

Actually that could work.

NEC TurboDuo

Someone did trim down the 5200 mobo a lot, can't remember where I saw that.

I like the idea of a pong portable- I'll look into that.
Boring, but would be cool to do...

[griehm]

Oh and here's one that hasn't been done-
PSX portable.

[ProgMetalMan]

It has been done lots of times.

[lovablechevy]

It has been done lots of times.

no, the psx hasn't been done lots of times. pretty sure it's never been done. it's a ps2 dvr system:

[griehm]

Exactly- I've got one and I'm gong to pick up another some time soon. Then again with it being so rare I'd feel bad hacking it like that.

EDIT- I hate that generalization- the PSX means PS1. Makes searching for an actual Japanese PSX DVR really hard.
