It's been done before, but I think I like that portable DC better than any of the other ones I've seen. Well done.

Nice, but the screen size probably can't do shmups justice.

that's pretty cool.
wonder if the sound drowns out the
infamously loud dc motor.

Pretty sweet. I like the DC but wish the back was a little more finished (Back slide panel specifically). Other than that it is by far the best one I've seen.

And yes that remote PS3 interface is win.

Very cool mod indeed, those PS1 screens seems to have so many uses these days though I do wonder what the battery life on that portable is like

"all in a custom CNC acrylic case"

The case would have been made in layers... not the most economical in terms of waste material but cheap and chearful if you have access to the machinary. Looking at the picture you can see where he hasn't sanded down the layers completely around the side face.... but then again to have the case RPed would cost a small fortune, I like it, gives it a clean yet rugged look :lolz:

this guy is insane. I've talk to this guy. but his price is insane. his portable dc wants to sell it for 700-800usd and how much would it be portable ps3 problably a 900 to a grand? I rather buy a jamma-ps3 for 800usd that included the console rather than a portable atleast its an arcade ss4 or sf3s to me. or a jamma-360. just my 2cents

kind of hard to debate someone on pricing when there's only one of.
you could always go out and make your own
if you feel that strongly.

The last time I saw the guy putting his handcrafted MVS handheld on ebay, it went for just above $300 (his starting bid was $299 IIRC).

who is this guy anyway is this jojoultimate? i bought a cmvs to him once.

jojoultimate ay hindi dumating na malapit sa kakayahan ng mga ito guy. jojo ay walang pag-ibig sa kanyang creations. Siya lamang ang gumagawa ng mga ito para sa pera at hindi pag-aalaga kung paano sila tumingin.
