  1. Also at ClassicGaming.com by calibanDNS · · Score: 4, Informative

    This wonderful mod is also covered at Classic Gaming. They have links to several consoles that have been turned into portables, including the famouse Playstation and SNES conversions.

  2. LCD screens for projects by nolife · · Score: 3, Informative

    You can get decent LCD screens from www.partsexpress.com. No need to hack a portable DVD player. In the past they've had quite a few choices, it appears they only have one model showing online right now.

  8. Re:bo more boringness by SpookyFish · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yeah, that's great, just wonderful. The gamecube can do that *only* because it uses a wall-wart style power supply, which are annoying as *^&#.

    I, for one, far prefer the power supply being inside the box. It would be trivial to modify a PS2 to bypass/replace the power supply and work off a 12v feed.

    He didn't remove any buttons.

    the directional pad is still there, the two analog sticks are there.

    The R1/R2 and L1/R2 are on the back of the box.
