nice job! Expensive though!

 

[Jedah Doma]

Bravo good sir!

 

[fenikso]

Very impressive and professional looking. I'm jealous.

I really like your method of assembling the system. Really polished looking on the outside, nothing like big screws hanging out near where you place your hands or anything like that.

And that lazerdoodle seems just perfect for a retrofit, the way you've used it.

Post pictures once you take care of the CD door!

Love the idea and congrats on your build. Also where do you live in georgia. I wanna play this puppy.

Wow, that frickin' rocks. "Dreamtrooper" is a very appropriate name for that beautiful machine. Great job!

 

[Shawn Carr2o]

Nice.

You should make a Game Boy Advance handheld with a Playstation LCD screen, a stand to hold it up and add controller ports for the GBA hori controller pads, AC power supply which would be neat. Of course have a dpad, select, start, power on switch if you want to hold them and play. Better yet a Gamecube LCD screen.

Anyways that is a very awesome project that you created. Man those LCD screens are to cool.

$258 dollars really is pretty cheap to build a unit of that calliber. What really killed him was the batteries! Ouch! Excellent quality though, nice looking system!

 

[sliceypete]

[DanAdamKOF]

Congrats on making gizmodo!

 

[One-Up]

I'd buy one!

 

[hailrazer]

looks great dude, the case looks very professional. how long can it run with the batteries?

Is there a place for the memory card? If not why?

God, a master of the craft. Could I commission you for a SNES portable? Or possibly an NES/SNES one, using those cool new duo's with the NES on a chip.
