Seen the PS2 LCD screens? Look very slick on a slim PS2...
all you need is a built-in battery & you'd have a PS2 laptop ;)

Cool.  My first computer was an Atari 800 XL (well ok an Atari 600 XL, which was the same thing only with 16K ram, but I upgraded a year later...)  Wonder if it uses the actual hardware or an emulation?  I think the original hardware was prone to overheating over time... I wonder if it has a disk drive too?  I guess it could use a large internal HD holding everything.  Looks cool but I don't even use my old Atari's anymore so I know I'd barely use it...

Up till 3 maybe 4 years ago I had 30+ Atari 800 XL's and XE's
never once had one over heat.

I have been thinking about pulling out a XL. ( still have 1 set up left)
I liked a program I typed in from analog for my VCR tapes.
I have never found anything as simple and yet got the job done.
I have close

All Ben Heck's stuff uses the actual hardware. That's part of what makes it so impressive.
Seen his hand-held Neo Geo? Based on a one-slot arcade board... looks a bit funny with a cartridge sticking out the back, other than that it's awesome.

Read his page & you'll find answers to all your questions.
