Hey portable lovers! After being inspired by the great Ben I have embraged on my own trecherous portable construction projects. In case any of you are interested, I have posted pics of my PROTOTYPES, but development has already exceeded far beyond these photos. I am constantly makin improvements:

http://photos.yahoo.com/tuneviperz14

The first system I built (and I am still working on) is a portable Sega CDX. I took the main system and built in a radio, controller, TV (with tuner). I am currently building in a rumble feature and improving the asthetics and wiring. It plays Sega CD/Genesis/32x/SMS with adapters of course. It's also a CD player, Television (youll notice the telescoping antenna, a radio, and a clock with date (not shown in the pics, but I have already added it. It's powered off 7.2v ni-cd packs you will see in the pics that I made. They are oooold though, I need to buy a new one hopefully one of the 3000mah ones. These are from '96 and older, so they're only 1200 and less. But I still get hours of play time so the usage is decent.

The second system is a portable sega saturn/dvd/mp3/mpeg/cd player. It has been completely repainted since those pics and has a dvd player built into the back. I get an hour of battery life for the DVD player (for one pack) and 30 min for the Saturn because it's such a power sucker.

I also worked briefly on a portable N64 project but had to shelve it since I couldn't exceed a 20 minute battery life. My next project will be a VERY small genesis portable...smaller than a nomad with a nicer screen and a tv tuner built in. Ive tested the battery life and i get 1:40 to 2 hours on one battery pack which is fine with me.

Anyway, if any of you have any questions or comments post here! :)

Very nice, although I suggest going to the new forums at benheck.com. Much more attention there. :)

It's not that life's so short, it's just that you're dead for so long.
