Ben Heck apprentice strikes again with DarthCast

Look out Ben Heck, you don't want to be overcome by one of your own followers, now do you? Merely months after the clearly talented hailrazer churned out a mighty impressive portable Nintendo 64, the guy has done it again by creating an on-the-go Dreamcast -- using the same style of Lazer Doodle shell, to boot. After acquiring another chassis, a Dreamcast, a Quantam controller, PSOne LCD, power supply and some serious battery power, the DarthCast was created. Reportedly, the thing can go for around three hours before puckering out, and you'll know your time is short when it starts sighing heavily in a muffled tone. Check the vid after the break, and pay your respects in the read link, son.

The word is "tuckering."

12pack of Keystone Light + Crazy Taxi = Dreamcast nostalgia.

Now if he could just cut out the mouth hole and add some haptic rumble up in there...

Dude, that is sweeeeeeet.

WOW. serious skills. what's next for this guy? Dreamcast nostalgia will certainly enjoy some rejuvenation, but only until his next creation becomes reality.

is it just me, or does this guy sound EXACTLY like JF Sebastian?

anybody?

It looks like Jason's hockey mask. (Waits for younger crowd to say "Huh?")

Very cool though. Nice, clean, slick design. Would love to play some Rush 2049, or RE:CV on it. I need to drag my Dreamcast out of storage and hook it back up. Haven't played it since 2001'ish.

I always love consoles made portable, especially in classy cases. I agree with what someone has already said, though, why not use a real DreamCast controller? It would have been nice to have the authentic thumbstick, d-pad, and most importantly, the colored buttons. And did I miss it, or is there room for a VMU? Probably built in. Very nice work.

Anyone who still has a Dreamcast should preserve it.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 16th 2008 2:28PM]

Where's the vmu?

good way to play soulcaliber on the go!

I wish I could be good at modding.
