Craftsman assembled Sega Game Gear do-it-yourself

Quite a famous figure of the world of modding, who communicates on the relevant resources under the nickname "lovablechevy", recently presented his own version of Game Gear, assembled with his own hands. No, this is a portable and slightly “doped” console that was not purchased on E-bay, here, in fact, everything was assembled by hand. This device supports both original Game Gear games and SEGA Master System games. I wonder if games are supported with MegaDrive | Genesis? In the sequel - some video and configuration information.

By the way, on the preview photo - the game "Phantasy Star". I played in all parts except the first, and it seems like the first one. Has anyone played this part? I liked the second one the most. This is just a smart game, in due time, hours and days were sitting with friends ...

So, this device is equipped with a 5-inch display, batteries, new housing and other goodies. In order to reduce the power consumption of the device, the modder has changed a lot in the design. By the way, just in case a fireman cites the configuration of the original device (infa taken from Wikipedia ):

Processor : Zilog Z-80, the clock frequency of 3.6 MHz.
RAM : main memory 24 Kbytes, video memory 16 Kbytes.
Sound : 4 channels (3 voices, 1 noise). The sound of each channel can be shifted left or right to get pseudostere.
Screen : 3.2 inches, with backlight. Resolution 160 x 146, 20 x 18 cells of 8 x 8 each (visible part); 256 x 224, 32 x 28 cells of 8 x 8 each (total resolution): the number of colors in the palette is 4096, the number of simultaneously displayed colors is up to 32.

By the way, the modder has built in a non-sickly battery in his device, each portable device would have such a capacious battery: 5700 mA will be enough for 6 hours of uninterrupted play. To protect against a sudden shutdown of the device, there is a special LED that flashes when the battery is low. So you can have time to survive.

Details of this "samizdat" shown in the video below.
