The pictures explain most of it. You can run it through google translate if you want more details. A later post also links to a howto.

Post by: PunkicCyborg on February 07, 2012, 11:37:15 AM: Wow! I wonder if this will be available or if it's justa project someone did?
I would pick this up if it comes for sale. I love how they found a nice style somewhere inbetween a SMS and a Game Gear

Because the Guy who made that is probably Japanese and probably doesn't speak more than three words of your Language.
It seems that smspower.org is also widely used in Japan fields.

Here's the link for the DIY guide http://www.lcv.ne.jp/~mgs1987/sega/gg2.html

Title: Re: Consolized game gear system
Post by: ParanoiaDragon on February 07, 2012, 01:17:28 PM: I hope he mass produces these, as I would buy one...not to mention I'd start buying Game Gear games! The Game Gear never did interest me too much. I have it, with a few games, but for some reason, the Lynx has always seemed better to me :-k Ofcoarse, I'd love to have a console Lynx or an adapter to play them on the Jag.

Well they should. English is the best language. If there were a better language, I'd speak it.

Post by: xelement5x on February 08, 2012, 06:55:36 AM: Damn, the amount of manufacturing that went into this is phenomenal. I'd see the pictures of it last year, but I didn't realize the scale of it was so small as well. It looks super professional too, those are some really nice clean boards and assembly.

It's custom built not fully manufactured, and I believe on the last page he even says that they're not for sale. I don't blame him though, if I spent that much time custom building something that slick I'd not want to sell it either.

Post by: Tatsujin on February 09, 2012, 11:30:53 AM: He could sell it easily as a kit. He made all the PCBs and stuff, it would be a shame if that's only for like one or two devices on planet.

He even made it as far to a complete in box with manual system. This guy is crazy.

Let's hope he will produce some in future. But they won't be cheap. The parts alone costed him like 250 bucks.

Being a SMS/Game Gear nerd this might be the greatest thing ever made!
Title: Re: Consolized game gear system
Post by: Samurai Ghost on February 09, 2012, 06:18:28 PM: Ah, that's too bad. It's one amazing custom!
Considering how professional it looks and the box and everything I assumed they were manufactured somewhere.
I wish there was a cart so I could play my SMS games through my Master System or Genesis at least.
I love me some Game Gear games and I'd love to be able to play them on a TV. (And yes, I know about emulation!)
Title: Re: Consolized game gear system
Post by: Tatsujin on February 09, 2012, 06:26:46 PM: Read/watch the whole thing and you will see that he produced everything by himself and in his very own four little walls.
