Something I've nearly finished!

[spinksy]

Not the greatest ever made but certainly a start!

My Dreamcast portable - currently unfinished, still runs off mains power but the voltage regulaters have been ordered and should be through post soon. I then may altar the screen's casing to match the Dreamcast's profile (like a Tramcast).

Works great - was playing Shenmue 2 on it last night while my girlfriend was watching a film



Comments welcome!

*edit*
I'm currently working on a SEGA sticker to cover up that cr@ppy Sony logo

Whoa, nice You are right, it looks almost like Treamcast how much of work it took from your life? And it's hard to make something like this?

[spinksy]

It's fairly hard - just detailed soldering work. (and alot of planning researching etc)

If I was to make another (which I probably will ) I could do it abit quicker than this one - takes a few hours.

Very nice work, that looks awesome.

Again this would be perfect for a +credit feature on this forum! Very nice work!!!

I know a guy who makes quality stickers, if your interested I can link you to where he does business.

[spinksy]

yeah if you could send us a link that would be cool.

Just waiting for some bits then I'll properly finish this

did u or are you going to replace the backlighting with LEDS? that not only minimizes the power the screen uses but in most cases can make it a little brighter.

I've heard of this being done and am thinking about it - more battery time would be great. With the battery set up I'll be using I'm thinking I'll get about 3 hours play time at best. (most like 2 hours 45 minutes).

Good news today though as most of the bit's I've been waiting for have turned up! The pproject continues!

That how to LED mod it. The whole guide is about building a portable system.

Great -thanks for the link!

Now completed this little project, finished it this afternoon!

Will post some photos up later!

My next Dreamcast like this will be 100% portable - built in controller etc
