Not that odd but I still play my Sega cdx

Well it's not actually a console, but:

This made me the king in seventh and eight grade. It was the only way to get a Mew outside of special Nintendo events. ~_~

You guys wanted ghetto... took me a while to dig it up but as promissed my "self upgraded" Sega Nomad.

It has the following upgrades: 

Quad 5 watt speaker "surround" sound

Self made 12 AA rechargable battery pack wired in serial delivering over 18V of raw juice... giving it up to 45 mins of total gaming time

A Game Gear magnifying glass super glued to the front

Under 5 lbs

Portable gaming evolved!

I used to own a crapton of the old Tiger handhelds, and I have a couple of the Atari "plug & play" game systems that come preloaded with like a dozen games or so... but this bad boy takes the cake...

That right there is the Action Max... a VHS (yes, you read that correctly... VHS!) based light-gun game console.

Hahaha that is badass!

Omfg lol, that thing you clipped onto your belt buckle and it had a power lead to feed the power hungry Game Gear? :D I had one of those for about.... 2 weeks then I was going from one room to the next and the cable got caught in the door handle, ripped completely outta the AC jack and made a bright spark of electricity. That thing was deadly.... almost literally.

for anyone who hasn't seen one of those things btw, if you at least know the size of the GameGear you can get an idea from this image... keep in mind that it was full of what was the best technology for recharable batteries in the 90s so it felt like it was full of lead.

While I'm sure your wiring job was top notch professionally done... considering you glued the magnifier to the thing lol, you know that you were holding around 30-40k amps of power in your hands there right? like even at 18V that thing getting a short could have given you a properly bad shock, like... half way to fatal lvls for a healthy man. Altho I guess you would be saved by the Nomad and its ghetto blaster draining them as they shocked you lol.

you really have put the Ghetto in this thread tho, that is an amazing custom piece of hardware to own.

Remind me why I even added you as a friend on VGC.  Doesn't matter now though because it is a goodbye to you and ignore any future post.  Do me a favor and keep the same avatar that way I'll know to ignore anything you type.

I usually played my Game Gear next to a wall outlet (ac adapter).  Kind of reminds me of of the Wii U Gamepad.  Going to have to buy the better battery for the Gamepad at some point.  At least the gamepad charger has a long ass cord.

The cable for it is really long, the idea was that you clip it onto your belt buckle or into a large trouser pocket to carry around with you (it weighted a ton) you could actually have it in a backpack and run the cable out to the console in your hands too but the thing got pretty damn hot I recall.
