Spiffy.

I would like to buy one of those but sadly I do not have $300 .

That definitely is quite the cool system. However the fact that it costs more than a psp is ridiculous.

I wouldn't say it's ridiculous. These are obviously hand-made (note the target production level of 5 per week).

 

So while $300 is not ridiculous, it probably does limit the demand!

Wow, he plans on making at least 100 of these. Very cool! I see that he's still using original Atari 2600 PCBs to make these. I wonder how many 2600 boards he's already burned through. He must have a huge pile of Atari 2600 donor systems!

It looked to me that these were using custom PCBs?? Maybe I mis read the blog. Ill have to read through it again.

He's using custom PCB's for the controller/battery portion of the system.

 

He's still using actual atari 2600 components for the actual system. He says somewhere on his page that it's because he doesen't want the systems to be just another clone, and it adds to the novelty and appeal of the portables.

 

Personally, I'd be happy if it used a clone.
