Quantcast



 
Portable Dreamcasts -- those we've seen before. After all, just about every old system has been slammed into a portable case by now. Doing a beautiful job with it, however, is another thing, and this one created by benheck.com forum user hailrazer certainly looks the part with its lovely smooth casing.
 
What went into it, you ask? Looks as if it's made up of a Lazer Doodle, a Quantam Controller, a Pico 120 watt Psu, 12v batteries and of course, a Dreamcast. If you would like to see the project in progress before it was completed, you can scroll down the thread in the benheck forums and see earlier pics. Of course, you have to have a hell of a battery to power it, but it's not as if you'd tote it around with you everywhere anyway.

Dreamtrooper sounds a bit kinky...but I'd tote mine everywhere, and play it on the bus to make everyone horribly jealous.

I'd drop three hundred bucks for that right now.

I wish I had the skill to do that sort of stuff.

WHERE THE F**K AM I SUPPOSED TO INSERT THE VMU!!!!!??????

It's still kick-ass, but it will need to chipped to play Euro and Japan-spec games...otherwise I can't play my copy of Soul Caliber on the go. :(

@ elpo,

should have reloaded the page just after I watched the video, but at least we are on the same page. Damn if I had the proper watch batteries, I would bust out one of my old VMU's and play some of the mini-games!

Cool device. One qualm about the vid: I fucking hate it whenever somebody claims that it's hard to find Dreamcast games in an attempt to justify piracy. Give me a fucking break. Yeah, you probably spent enough to develop this thing...enough to purchase a lot of Dreamcast games via eBay (or locally).

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if Topher Cantler suddenly got a boner. I fear something awesome has happened.

@Kevinski

WTF? Does it honestly matter? The system is so old not one company will make a dime off of you if you legally bought it anyways. 70% of the games are impossible to find, and if you do find them expect to pay some inflated rare price. I mean come on, bitching about someone pirating DC games in 2008 is moot. I encourage anyone who has never played DC who has recently bought one to pirate every game.

Pretty awesome! It always surprises me how well the spindle holds the disc on these portable conversions.

The developer sounds like he'd 'do a barrel roll'. O_o

I'd be a bit concerned about the GD-ROM exposed at the back, but other than that, it looks narly.
