Default Dreamcast Portable Project

So I was wondering what a Dreamcast might look like in a handheld version and I came up with this. I don't know its some random thinking from me. A Dreamcast portable? What goes through my mind, right?

Definitely a random thought, but it looks pretty neat to me.... As a sucker for handhelds I would buy it. Now, can you go make one?

Thanks. I know people do this, turn consoles into portables, and yes its been done with the Dreamcast. Mine will be way better tho.

For me this will be a long term project. I've already started experimenting with some hardware.

That's the plan. I did something like it with a Super Nintendo a few years back. Hopefully this doesn't die out like many of my projects do due to my lazyness.

b-b-but the VMU D:

what would DC games be without being able to look down and see a low-res black and white logo of the game you're playing?

Wii U's gamepad original design, is that you!??!?


All jokes aside, I'd love to play a portable Dreamcast, specially since I've been wanting to get the console for ages.

The best DC Portable I've seen is the Dreamtrooper.



It uses the Lazer Doodle case, a PS One screen, etc. Well, good luck with your mod. It's going to be quite tough especially if you really want to make it from scratch.
