I've finally gotten some serious play time in on my portable, and it is freaking awesome! :D Thank you Alec!

I needed to add a bit more kapton tape inside to prevent a short from occuring when playing Bugz. Apparently I squeeze the controller super hard when I am constantly holding down B and rolling my thumb to press A at the same time. Based on the hand cramp I got after beating Bugz on the train ride home today, I would have to say "certainly" I squeeze the controller too hard rather than "apparently". :lol:

This is perfect for showing off to people. I can just walk around with it and hand it to someone for them to play. Much easier than the soft cooler I would carry around with me that had a display and its power brick, a computer speaker and its power brick, the Uzebox and its power brick, and then going "crap, there are only two outlets here".

I've even had people ask me "Is that a new Nintendo?"
