sega dreamcast stormtrooper portable: the dreamtrooper

Sure, it’s past its time, but the SEGA Dreamcast is still one of the greatest video game systems of all time. So when I found out that someone out there had turned this classic console into an all-in-one portable, I was stoked.
It took modder Jon Jandran (aka “Hailrazer”) about 90 hours of blood, sweat and tears to transform a kids toy called a “Lazer Doodle” and into an elegant case for his Dreamcast portable that looks as good as anything that could have come off of the SEGA assembly line.
The portable integrates a Sony PSOne 5″ LCD screen, an InterAct Quantum Fighterpad controller, stereo speakers and a battery pack which lets him play for about 2.5 hours on a single charge. Check out the video clip below to see the Dreamtrooper in action.
Originally, Hailrazer planned on painting the case black and calling it the DarthCast Portable, but I think Stormtrooper helmet is more appropriate, since the original Dreamcast was white anyway.

“SEGA Dreamcast is still one of the greatest video game systems of all time”.
Amen!
Whats up with the spinning disc buzz saw on the back? Looks dangerous 0.0
He hasn’t made the back of the case yet. But if it takes a few amputated fingers so I can play some Shenmue, I’m all for it.
do you have to by dreamcast games to play on the dreamtrooper and can you send blueprints o the Dreamtrooper.
What about the memory card O.o I didn’t see a spot for it, how would you save? Good job, I know I could never pull of a piece of work like that, you get Zels thumbs up of awesomeness *thumbs up*
