crazy SNES idea....

[Lostdwarf]

So after seeing the portable dreamcast thread i got to thinking. How can i make my snes portable. Then it hit me....

here's what i have in mind. I have an intec portable screen from my gamecube.

if i cut the power line, and cut the power line on the snes adapter and crimp the wires together would that work or would i short the system out?

or objective is

snes power needs to be split

1) to the monitor
2) to the system

i have the gamecube rechargeable adapter which has the gamecube power plug on the end so that would have to be spliced as well no?

so given what i have what would be the easiest way to do this?

Life of Brian made a pretty cool looking Portable SNES. I don't think I've seen him on here in a while though.

It might have been quicker too but I had to figure out how to make a link to a forum page :p

While Digital Press is certainly a collective of users who discuss and appreciate custom portables, if you're looking to see a lot of designs-to-finished-products, I'd suggest taking a look at custom portable guru Benjamin Heckendorn's forums ...

http://forums.benheck.com/

and the project section of his main site

If you're looking to make a portable SNES, the forums should be full of helpful folks with good experience.

Ben is also a very nice guy if you contact him directly.
