Portable NES (Read 8284 times)

Jordan MacNamara God Member Offline I love YaBB 1G - SP/Whatever it is Posts: 1758 Gender:	Portable NES 29. Jul 2006 at 19:04 Who was that person who was making portable NES units? I remember there was a website somewhere. I think this was the same person: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8288844305&sspagename=ADME:L:...

He makes alot of cool stuff, but i dont quite like the one you linked too. The A and B button looks so strange placed that it looks hard to press both buttons at ones (like holding in B to run and A to jump).

There was another model on Ebay with better looking button placement, but the cart insertion was horizontal, with the cartridge facing up. I have a list of qualities I'm looking for in a handheld NES.

I thought he was too but I contacted him and he makes them from the 'How To' book Ben Heck wrote. I was going to buy one off him but funds ran short and had to put it on the back burner

I'm not trying to sound too picky, but I'm looking for these qualities:

-Headphone Jack & Built-in Speakers
-Good Sound Quality
-Volume Control
-Clear Crisp Screen (Decent Size)
-Button Placement
-Good Battery Life
-Cartridge Insertion (Vertical)
-Toploading Capabilities (No Lockout Chip/PAL Capable/Tight Pins)
-Size/Shape (Not too big or awkward)
-Reset Button? (Not necessary, but it''d be nice)
-AC Input

Anything I missed that's important? I doubt I'll need the ability to play 2 players or use a lightgun so those can go.
