I found a rather strange website and saw it on a Retrogamer CD..

There are a few remakes of some consoles which were rather popular such as

Atari 2600
Snes
NES
PSX
N64
etc

Tis rather strange to see someone make them portable with screens etc. Rather clever mind you :)



http://www.benheck.com/ is one of the sites (Made a few Consoles portable)

There is another one with detailed instructions on how to make an nintendo 64 portable (http://www.classicgaming.com/nestable/p64.shtml)

Have a look and drool as much as you like..

maybe someone like wardrich will make the ubber Dos game on a cartridge :P

The pictures look very interesting. It would be nice to own one of those portables. Too bad I don't have hands on experience in electronics but it would be nice to read the book.

Looks interesting. But, since the revolution is going to be backwards compatible, I'll just get all my favorites then. :)

If you use the for... the stick it shouldn't become too scratched. Treat the DS gentle!

Buy a psp! It can emulate old NES SNES and soon N64 games! You can even play (hold on) psp games on it!

I'm pretty sure that the Nintendo Revolution will be able to interface with the DS.

Nintendo will be releasing all of the games for NES, SNES, and N64 (at least first-party games) for download on the Revolution. I'm sure that there wil be a way to upload the game data to the DS, making it much more legal.

Do I care? (Well, yes) I sometimes play my PS1 games on my computer, but I own the console and i own the disc, so it's not illegal. I bought a snes, so I can play the games i own on it...

Besides, Nintendo is going to ask huge amounts of money for the old games. They'
re old!

Emulation itself is legal, but its the roms you have to worry about..


A company called connectix made a program for the mac called Virtual game Station which was pretty good and it emulated playstation games.. Sony tried to sue them for it but failed..
