Already has all the composite out stuff, all the controller wires are separate and easy, good for a beginner.

you have to manually wire up a cartridge slot, though....

Ive never opened up a Genesis before, so today i opened it up, and i couldnt beleive how small it was! I might do this first in stead of a DCp, cause ive never made a portable before and this looks like a good start...
How much would it cost to make one and could i use a PS1 screen? Is this the list i need?

-Sega Genesis
-PS1 Screen
-Controller
-Sawdering Tools

if he's very new to this stuff, it would probably be easier to use a genesis 3 mobo and not have to wire a cart slot

sorry i don't have pics. i've never done this before, but here's a walkthrough if you're gonna use a genesis mobo:

1. open genesis (i assume genesis 3 has the smallest mobo)

2. trace the audio and video from the AV cable to find out the pinouts on the mobo. solder wires to them. also solder a wire to ground

3. http://benheck.com/ipw-web/bulletin/bb/ ... php?t=2278 that explains the video stuff

4. get a battery and/or voltage regulator and connect it to the screen and mobo. i don't know how much voltage the genesis takes, but my power supply says 9v. you could possibly use less if it has a voltage regulator

5. http://www.doomportables.tk/ has lots of useful info for pinouts and makeing cases and all sorts of stuff
