This book is simply incredible! If you have ever wondered what to do with your old systems that are around your house, this book provides the answer.
The book is extremly easy to follow, ever for people like me who have never soldered anything in my life. The book describes step by step how to take apart a screen from either a portable tv or a portable PSOne screen. He also gives two different portable ideas for each of the four different systems featured in the book (PSOne, Atari 2600 - 4 switch, NES, and SNES Mini).
Just by showing how to take apart the units and describing what is being done, this book opens up posibilities for making any system you own portable (Check his website for proof).
The only complaints that I have about this book is that there are a couple of misprints for some diagrams. All of this is fixed in erratas on his site. Other than that, I wished he would have shown more systems and how to make them portable.
I just couldn't get enough! And I bet you'll love it as well!

I've been following Ben for almost 2 years now since I found his website for the original PSp (PlayStation Portable). The humor on his site is great and he did an excellent job of carrying over his writing style for the new book. It's a good light read, and doesn't require a whole lot of previous knowledge. Specifically in the department of understanding electronics. I can personally recommend this book if you love tinkering with electronics or if you actually plan on building one of these portables, it's clear and the pictures corresponded amazingly well to the descriptions. Great Book, Great Work.

I've been watching Ben Heckendorn do this since his old Atari 2600 Portables site launched almost 6 years ago. It'll be awesome to finally know how to do everything he does yourself!
