Ran across this auction and want someone on AA to buy it: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 280793113234

Looks like the seller modded a FB2 to include a cart port and stuffed it inside a Gameboy-sized (probably a little larger) case. I'd be surprised if the seller weren't on AA already.

Beautiful workmanship! It's the Longhorn Engineer, quite a craftsman.

His "build log" for the unit is mentioned in the eBay post, and is located here - - http://longhornengin...flashback-p-v1/

Very cool, and seems quite a reasonable price for the work.

Not so sure I like the knob that sticks off the bottom of the unit - - makes it hard to pack the unit away and travel, and would limit it to being a neat "showroom" piece for me.

Thanks, boxpressed!

very nice I been wanting to build one but that one is sweet and a good price. Hope I get paid before its gone. I wish it wasnt a flashback console though does anyone know if the harmony cart can be used in this?

The face on this unit looks to be alot lower quality than many of LE's other works. The select and reset buttons (I assume thats what they are) is the real killer IMO. Shame too cause the rest looks pretty damn good.

looks sweet.......I wonder if you can use the joystick port for one-player games, or do you have to use the built-in pad controller?

The same seller has other homemade portables too, here's a NES:
