[bacteria]

I have finished making a handheld portable Playstation 1 console system in a vacuum formed case.

Looks even better then it did while you were making it. Bravo!

wow, very impressive!

:pray:

Amazing! Great work!

Wouldn't want to drop it though. :oh:

I like it how you are selling kits, really nice idea. I always wanted to do one of Ben Hecks ideas (especially the 360 laptop) but without a small work shop it was a bit behind me.

Nice stuff, well done!

Unfortunately, your website isn't working.

Web host had problems with their servers, should be fine now. Have a look!

my friend found something that lets him play PS games on his PSP and they run perfectly. But I guess this works if you're really hardcore about using the original hardware on the go. Like how small it is. Looks really nice too. How long do the batteries last for?

Glad to see you got this finished!!! Looks good, i especially like the face button design.

Yeah, that works now, although it is very slow loading.

A nice site, though - very informative. Good job! :thumbsup:

One word of warning - be very careful selling those decals with a PlayStation logo embedded. Sony won't like that when they find out - don't forget they still have a copyright on the logo!

nice job but...why are the joysticks above when they should be low?

[bacteria]

Thanks guys!

Retro - Web site will load slowly, there are many, many pics there to upload on a visit.

Take your point on the PlayStation logo, however it is a bit different to their logo, more colours. That should make it different enough; anyway, if they want me to change it I would of course.

XxHennersXx - If the joysticks were lower it would be awkward to use them and hold the case, the d-pad is lower, so easier to reach over a lower part (d-pad) to a higher (joystick) than the other way around.

I can see that but Like, your other one.... alot didn't make sense. like, why place the A/B buttons on the right of the C buttons? They should have been on the left...

little things like that that would disorient and make someone have to retrain their muscle memory to play.

It's a small company called Sony Entertainment.

They sell PS games on their online store and with a bit of fiddling you can use your own games.

No, it was taking a LOONG time to load. Trust me, I've made many websites, and I would be complaining to my host about the speed issues if mine were as bad as it was. That said, it's running smoothly now :thumbsup: Probably just lots of traffic when I tried before.

Umm, what???

How is that not EXACTLY the same?!?! You can't go using registered trademarks in your logo!

Uhh, try telling Sony that!
