Thanks for even more comments and suggestions!
Cool! my creation seems to be on quite a few technical/DIY websites! Hackaday, engadget etc (some of the comments on them are a little harsh though! )
Right, replies to people's comments:
nubie:
I used the metal type of toggle switch because at the time, this is the only type of switch i had spare. If i do make more of these to sell i will use a push on/off type switch. Most people seem to not like my use of red push buttons for the d-pad, but trust me I've used these buttons on two other portables and they do just fine.
Homebill:
I got the larger red button from Rapid Electronics at:

bacteria:
Some time in the near future I will eventually build a multi platform plug and play portable like you have.
I did actually play the Dora the explore for a wile. The graphics look better than any 16 bit console I know of, but the game play is too childish for me .
Gorgonzola
I cut the hole for the screen out with a scroll saw. I cut it as neatly as I could then I placed a see through screen cover over the hole to cover up any untidiness.
Apologies for late posts, at the minute I'm really busy starting a new full time college course and working weekends.

Re: The PACMAN Mini - portable Namco TV games
im pretty sure it from polycase, i was there earlier scrolling through cases and saw one just like it.
BIG QUESTION
I am using a similiar plug and play (ms pacman) and it has a joystick that moves the regula up down left right but it also twists left and right and stops at a certain point for each, as i dont want to use the original controls how would i re create this in my portable? spring loaded potentiometer?

Re: The PACMAN Mini - portable Namco TV games
This may be a noobish question... but how did you make the AA batteries Recharge? Did you install a charger? and yes I understand this is a big bump... I did not wanna clutter the forum with a stupid question like this.

Re: The PACMAN Mini - portable Namco TV games
We tend not to mind if its a good question.
I assume he wired them like any other batteries, then got an Ni-Mh charger for the voltage they were wired to and soldered a cable to it with a plug for the portable on the end.
