Dreamcast fans are doing what they can to keep the final Sega console alive in handheld fashion. This latest one certainly isn't the most elegant mod in the world -- in fact, it's a boxy Frankenstein that looks pretty uncomfortable and crampy after a long game session. That said, the clean, straight lines and generous 5-inch screen are an impressive step up from some rough versions we've seen elsewhere. Taking an entire Dreamcast's guts, adding an LCD screen, forging a portable power supply, and fitting it all in one portable box is no easy task -- so we salute you, modders. And we confess, we totally dig the brass hinges.

Brass Hinges.

Classy.

When I posted the video on the Dreamcast Junkyard awhile back the creator posted a few comments.

He seemed like a nice guy. I hope he works on another version of this.

Great job.I have seen the video on youtube before posting it here from newsposters.
I was amazed but now he should work the desigh of the box cause the basics are done.
If these corners were smaller.He has to make more look like a console cause now its a box with adreamcast inside.

Anyway i have to admit.Nice work.
