OldSchoolRetroGamer #2 Posted May 5, 2011 So awesome, add a Harmony cart and that is all you need! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rev #3 Posted May 5, 2011 That is pretty cool! And it is almost as big as the Sega Nomad. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigO #4 Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) I bought a 13" TV with a VCR inside (which doesn't work). I have designs on some day making a TV with an Atari inside. Ideally, I'd be able to tap into whatever the VCR was doing to automatically switch to its video source when a tape started playing to make the TV auto-switch to the Atari. Someday...

keithbk #5 Posted May 6, 2011 As cool as that design is...I think it seriously suffers from the angle of the cartridge overshadowing the TV screen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0078265317 #6 Posted May 6, 2011 Add some lite then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy Yakapucci #7 Posted May 6, 2011 Of course you have to love it when he has to play with the first cart that he uses to get it to work. And what? No outcries for destroying a console? JY Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ls650 #8 Posted May 6, 2011 That's very cool. I could see doing that with a spare 4-switcher... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the.golden.ax #9 Posted May 6, 2011 Not really portable, so uh, what is the point? It still needs a wall outlet, and it isn't handy. As my wife tells me often "just because you can... doesn't mean you should." AX 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keithbk #10 Posted May 6, 2011 Add some lite then. Bud Lite with Lime? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0078265317 #11 Posted May 6, 2011 Sorry meant light. Do much shade then sit under the sun or room with a lot of light bulbs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roland p #12 Posted May 6, 2011 If they had used a Junior it would be a lot more portable. Nice mod anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HatefulGravey #15 Posted May 7, 2011 Add some lite then. Bud Lite with Lime? I just threw up a little. So where do I buy one? You can't just show us stuff like this without selling it or telling us how to make it. Its the law. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0078265317 #16 Posted May 7, 2011 I just thought it was cool. Not too good with building stuff. If you like post a comment in the video and ask how he/she did it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keilbaca #17 Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) Not really portable, so uh, what is the point? It still needs a wall outlet, and it isn't handy. As my wife tells me often "just because you can... doesn't mean you should." AX The Atari 2600 can run for over 24 hours by itself with 8 AA's. Hell it can run for 4 hours on a 9 volt. Adding AA's to this wouldn't be that hard. EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jer4MGz1RDM Judging by the lines in the screen, he used Ben Heckendorn's old composite audio/video mod.

Now nobody else in the whole wide world should ever even think the same thought, let alone build it. Be sure to post on AA if you do build one. Even though Neo Geo MVS carts are a near perfect fit for VCR cassette slots, I don't think it'd be very easy to fit something like that inside a TV. NES would be a nice option. There's tons of hardware available. ... Or Atari. Yeah, that could work too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the.golden.ax #19 Posted May 8, 2011 It still isn't handy (unless you are a jolly green giant). Ho Ho... AX 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
