Do we know what the grading criteria would be? Or will there be different awards such as 'smallest' and 'most unique'?

I have an SNES I have been meaning to work on. Guess I will start planning.

I predict that all the winning portables are already in progress.

Im entering my current one if no-one has any problem. Its nowhere near finished but i cant do anything else for 2 weeks anyway.

6 weeks is fine, as you say, a balance between keeping a level of interest and giving sufficient time, although 6 weeks is tight (I would have suggested closer to 8 weeks, but never mind).

In 6 weeks I will have my SNES module completed (will look nicer than the N64 module, should complete next week); hope to complete another system or two as well (may not have time with also making my frankencase Gamboy Color case mod though) - time, as always, permitting; especially as I use a fair bit of project time in documenting my work as I go along (this will be no exception).

I am in.

Skyone - is the idea that we submit pics and videos on this thread or would you set up a new thread purely for submitted completed projects??

It will be interesting to see what people enter.

Oh, you definitly have a shot. But I hope that G-force doesnt just show up and pwn us all again

Bacteria, you cant win because you've already "been" featured on ben's site.

And you are really just recasing a console, no? I CRYTISIZE YOU! CRYTISIZE!

Unless you build a standalone snes portable(which you could easily pull off) than I eveict you from the contest. But still submit your entry, I'd like to see how many people vote for ya.

I dont know why I even made this post, but I'm sure it means nothing.

I'll make a new thread for media in about a week.

Hmm, I don't think it's fair for you to submit a module as a competing portable. What's the detachable module without the top half that contains the screen and controller, which has been finished for quite some time now?

mmm, I think this shoulnÂ´t be a race.

build a portable at 6 weeks can be easy or ddifficult depending of the project, free time, materials, tools.....

so I think we should valorate the final aspect, also the hours spend on it, materials, tools used. and lot of other things.

is not same have a "benÂ´s garage with lot of industrial machinery and powerfull tools" that make a portable at a "hotel room with basic/minimal tools/materials".

also the total money spent should be valorated. and lot of other things

at my opinion there is a lot of points must be valorated before rate a project.

If anyone can suggest where I can get a decent priced screen between 2.5" and 5", I'll sign up. That's the keystone in me working on any portables, need a damn screen.

I think having a tight deadline is what will keep people interested in the competition. Anyone wanting more time is free to do so, but you won't win

This will give me motivation to finish my Snes Portable.
