(no, the controller is not part of it. it was simply the inspiration.

this is a "dumbed down" version of my own HandyNES. it goes along side it as being one of the smallest fully original hardware NES portables. my buyer really wanted it to be inspired by an NES controller. so, i did what i could. on to more pics!

HandyNES commission in detail










specs:
system – nes version 2
power – 2 3.7v li-ion 1500 mAh batteries (haven't tested fully yet, but should get the same as my HandyNES: 3 hours with full volume and screen brightness 50%)
case – frankencased sl-64p & lp-55p (polycase.com) with nes controller casing
controller – original nes controller cut up
random tidbits – uses the longhorn engineer’s (rekarp) nes2 composite mod (seeing as it’s the best and the simplest); power led added in (white); low battery indicator (red); case has custom made sticker; has a/v out and headphone jack

please feel free to visit my facebook page to see all pictures taken during the process.

a few measurements of the system:
weight of portable – 1 lb
weight of portable with game (varies by game) – ~1 lb 4 oz
thickness – 2"
height – 4” 
height with nes game – 6 1/3"
length –  6”

this project took me 5.5 months time. a lot of that time was me just being frustrated at not being able to get the nes working properly. it would have been done much sooner if the original nes i bought didn't get messed up (which i still have no clue what i did).

oh! and for those wondering, yes, i do have my signature hot pink in the portable.
