Sega Game Gear Home console system ....

[QuickSciFi]

Now, see? I just gave you rep. Why do you have to come-up with something else even more awesome?

[sheath]

My secret power is to come up with ideas either too early or too late. I learned this skill from Sega.

OMFG that's sweet! How long till the Chinese see this and start cheap mass production? That's just beautiful.

Hopefully not too long. I've been talking to a friend about it and I've come to the conclusion that, in part, this modder (if at least brilliant) is aiming to make every inch of this public so that it can become mainstream asap.

Hey wanna see me get banned?

Get atgames do do this!

Let the hate mail roll in......

Of course I jest, I would be happy enough as I said if it was a kit. Allthough I do have a spare sms case and spare gg video board to re-visit my consolized gg.....

Same here. Shave a hundred bucks or so off the price by just offering the board.

[ooXxXoo]

At this point, I'll be happy just to get the shell and the packing material ...

The only downside is that you need to butcher a Game Gear to make it.

That is unless someone develops a clone ASIC version of the GG . . . (that hasn't been done yet, right?).
Though given the existing MD/SMS clone hardware, it shouldn't require too much modification to GG spec. (the main differences are in the palette/color DACs and BIOS iirc -plus the stereo PSG)


Since they went through the trouble of producing professional plastic molded cases and controllers (and packaging), I'd imagine they'd go beyond hacking up old GGs for production.

If ever these consoles see a real production run, I'll be one of the first in line.

May just learn how to do this and butcher a GG with a broken screen.

Looks great, imo.

[zetastrike]

This is cool and all, but doesn't the Master System kind of nullify this thing's existance? It already has most of the GG's games and it displays them at the right size on a TV screen. I'd rather someone make a new GG handheld with a better screen that takes carts or SD.

[QuickSciFi]

^That would be neat and all, but there are exclusives on the Game Gear (w/ lots of extra colors) a lot of us want to see on the big screen.

The Game Gear has quite a few unique titles, and honestly I would love to own one again but it's a shame that the casing is so crappy and it's so prone to capacitor failure. I think one of these would be a great option for playing the few Game Gear games that I do have.

You know, GG video caps are very easy to replace (sound board is kinda tricky though, tight space and all the caps are SMD), so really the only problem with the Game Gear is it's screen. How is the casing bad?

Yeah, many people mistakenly think that all a Game Gear is, is a handheld SMS. It does have support for almost all master system games, but it's specs exceed that of the SMS and there are unique titles (ie-Sonic Triple Trouble) made only for the Game Gear.
