Step-by-step guide to making a portable DreamCast console

Apart from finishing some ancillary things like a couple of switches, some quick wiring, screen controls, installing the prepared A/V port, etc (which are really more cosmetic things), I finished a guide for making a portable DreamCast handheld and published it on Instructables in their "Battery powered contest".

The guide is designed to show someone how to make a portable from scratch, and is a detailed and easy to follow guide.

The guide is here:
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-Sega-DreamCast-console-into-a-batter/

If you would like to vote for it on their site in the next day or two that would be awesome (i'd love to win a prize!), but obviously up to you if you want to or not:

Anyway, here is a pic of the system, more pics on the guide of course; loads in fact:



I'll be interested in your comments too.

 

Awesome tutorial

Didnt read it fully yet(work )
But looks good.

 

Nice that you used a Nintendo Dpad, but could've you have used a 360 analog stick too?

 

this is awesome! If I can find another cheap dreamcast I'm gonna try this. Thanks for the tut!

 

Could have used any PS2 type joystick no issues, just used the one provided though in the controller.
