Get yourself a copy of the March issue of Popular Science (due out soon I’d imagine) and you’ll see that Portable-lization has made its way into that issue – specifically re: my book. There should be some neat photos and “breakaway” illustrations to take a gander at… enjoy!

I was posting re: this in my forums and it got long so I decided to turn it into an essay since it’s kind of an interesting topic and I certainly have opinions on it! Follow this link to read what I have to say about “The Future of Home Entertainment!”

Well, another year! As of now I’ve been doing this portable stuff for 5 years! I recall this because it was New Year’s 1999 when I first had the notion of making a portable Atari.

So, in sort-of honor of this 5-year portable-building anniversary my latest, greatest and probably BEST Atari 2600 portable should be done later this week! It contains all the features of the long-lost Vagabond 2000 project, which was the portable I intended to be the “sequel” to my original Atari portable. I kept running into snags and went into the Revisions 2-5 instead.

But now it’s crawled out from under the dust, gotten a completely new (yet old) case design and is almost done… Prepare yourself!

Hello there portable fans! Just wanted to drop by and post an update on the status of things…

I’m currently editing my book, going over and making changes so it’s ready to go. This will take me most of October (which is why updates here will be a bit light during this time) but I am going to cut some parts for a few more CNC Playstation portables and some SNES’s as seen on the Project 42 page. A lot of people are interested in these so I thought making a few extra might not be a bad idea.

That new small PS2 has come out, though I guess only a few are being shipped to every store. Fear not, I shall get my hands on one ASAP and tear it apart. (My intentions should be apparent) Hopefully in November I can find the time to maybe build a portable from a system I’ve never used before, and maybe even finish the technical stuff on my Port Washington movie.

It may be a few weeks before my next update but I hope to have more cool news soon!

Welcome to the even more filled up benheck.com! I’ve completed the Videogames section, you can now browse through all the portable systems just like the old days! The Downloads section is also fairly functional, but if you come across something that goes clunk, let me know!

Also be sure to check out the Forums (located under the Videogames menu) for all sorts of fun, including being able to vote on if Ramen noodles could take Macaroni & Cheese in a fight!

More portables to come!
