how do u make a ps2 portable?

basically what you do is get a slim PS2 and get it to run off of batteries. then get a psone screen to run off of batteries. then connect the psone screen to the PS2. for the controller, get some pcb board and put tact switches and analog sticks in the right spot and wire them to a controller. put that all in a case and voila . if you need more detail, search and then if you don't find what you need, ask a more detailed question than "how do you make a ps2 portable?"

Or Here is a complete step by step guide to make a PS2 portable.

I have been looking for a good reason to take apart the LCD of my severed notebook computer. It is a DELL Inspiron 7500 and I now see it as spare parts. I dont mean to get into all the backround, but I trashed that computer and now LOVE this Mac OSX 12" Powerbook G4. I have lately had a lot of time on my hands and have a few other gadgets as well, sitting around that I don't really use any more and would love to take apart... like: playstation 2, the OLD NINTENDO, a P.O.S.-MP3 player(156mb or something), a couple of old USB video cameras, etc. . . . and even more JUNK (or so I keep hearing). Well, I wanted to mainly take the LCD and fabricate a casing, in some way, to make it portable. I was thinking that the most universal input is RCA (please tell me if you agree...), that way I could connect a DVD player or perhaps use it as a portable TV. Well here is where the "junk" parts come into play, I can only imagine how pissed my buddies would be if I had whipped up something cooler than his brand new PSP the hacks he finds out for them. Anyway, I have really been contemplating how many different systems I want to put into it (PS2, nintendo, camera...) I would put them all or really as much as I can fit. I now need to fabricate my own enclosure for this 'concoction' so I can make whatever work!! I would really appreciate your input I have been searching the web for days and also taking apart the "equipment" I have listed above. The information on this forum particularly have pushed me ahead in my goal to make: "AN ULTIMATE PORTABLE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM" I would love to incorporate Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and maybe a firewire output, as well as speakers, but we can get down to the details later!!!! Thank you all Very Much for your input and time I really appreciate it!!

you can't use computer monitors

Seriously, there's NO WAY you can do this. You would have to know how to program Integrated Circuits, you would have to hardwire a LOT of things, and the screen you think you can use simply won't work. (not to mention the whole "wireless WiFi and Bluetooth" thing... Bluetooth is very difficult to set up and work with.)

So you may want to start out by reading from Doomportables.tk, and build a NOAC portable or a PSone portable like the rest of us.

you all are very encouraging i expected much more from a post that has been noted by Popular Science for Popular Portables. I thank you all for your strong encouragement!!! I just hope the "benheck" who started all this isn't giving me words of advice for what I expect to concoct. I can only hope to post the final product in a few weeks. . . thank you

Hey, you wanted oppinion, they gave it to you. You can't use a damn laptop screen, because they use digital inputs, and you cannot hack that! You also can't fit both a PS2 and NES into the same portable, especially if you don't use a NOAC. You want to make a portable, make a portable, but don't try making something that obviously isn't going to happen. Check the atitude at the home page, and don't post until you lose the sarcasm.

BTW, it's Ben Heckendorn.

Ben was noted in that popular science ad for his SNESP not not a swiss army knife that plays games, cooks your food, wash your dog, kill your siblings, or take pictures. That is what this forum is about loving the games making the portables of them without all this BS we get from people who want to portablize something just to do it, without knowing how I might add, or buy one because they dont want to do any work. You start small, and work with what is possible. I am sure you didn't know you cant use a laptop screen, or how to program integrated cuircuts and thats alright because you're new. But if you come here expecting to do something great without preparing your knowledge before hand you're going to get a rude awakening.

And no offense here but even if it was possible you want to start something small or you will be frying boards left and right.
SO TRY A NESP! Trust me its cooler than a psp to a lot of people
