+Wonder007 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Well, I just got an e-mail from the guy. He refunded me my money because he said that he dropped the unit as he was packaging it and the LCD display is broken. So, does anybody know Ben to see if I can get one from him.....

Seems a little suspicious to me. Well at least wonder007 got his money back regardless. I believe the NOMAD idea Shawn Sr. had would work if you didn't shake long enough knowing you're about to ruin an ingenious device itself.

I would probably try to cannibalize a game gear first they cost what about 15 bucks as opposed to 150.00. humm.. maybe I'll tinker with that idea... The wife would just love that mess I'm sure, maybe I'll do it right on the kitchen table and leave it there for a month. I haven't been in trouble for at least a month, gotta keep those home fires burning..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atarian63 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 $293.88 + 25 S&H. I would probably pay that much if it had diffuculty switches and a port for another stick/paddle. For this price you can order a new unit from Ben Heck! Is that true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricDeLee Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I had the 'pancake' portable from him. Ended up having to sell it, and regret it to this day. I think Ben still has pictures somewhere. It was pretty nice and it used a PSone screen. A full five inches of glory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianoid Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 This should probably be on a Benheck forum, but has anyone tried hacking the TV tuner into a game gear and screen and using that? This guy is weird- relisted the portable after some strange stories gone by- 'I dropped it' then I got an offer to buy it, no relisted? 'Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?'

(unrelated quote) I don't think you need to hack the TV Tuner. If I recall, I used an adaptor and was playing PS2 off of that thing. I'm almost positive it was the Game Gear I did that too... then the TG Express. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
