Transform an Nvidia Shield TV into a portable!

Not to be confused with the Nvidia Shield Portable. With the power of the Nvidia Shield TV you can emulate GCN and Wii games and more.

    #1 YES

    #2 HELL YES

    #3 nVidia Y U cancel Portable? or Not make Portable 2! EVGA Tegra Note 7 or Shield Tablet not so awesome as the Portable

    #4 The Shield TV is Awesome and better than the Steambox, but it is not the Portable, its a different equally great product....

     

     

    The nVidia Shield Portable chanced my career, personal life, and gaming life! Let me explain.

     

    Career: It was on the verge of 5ghz 802.11N an no one understood that 2.4ghz and 5ghz were not parallel or that the 5ghz part existed. Research into getting the infant streaming platform turbocharged my understanding of 802.11X (X = A,B,G,N.AN.AC(later),and etc) and led to a office overall of 5ghz that made many happy clients loving getting away from 2.4

     

    Personal Life: I don't condone talking in bed while on your phone browsing as a partner "activity" but commonly partners will have problems if you turn that into gaming with a laptop or desktop even though your both mindlessly browsing in their eyes. Well the Shield was that stealthy "venting, but on Phone browsing" way to talk to your partner in bed, vent, and be social without bothering them or them thinking you have falsely lost interest. Also it was very powerful, so not having to power up a machine for a late night notes brainwave was nice. 5ghz made it a real OS capable device with BT Mouse, BT KB, OTG Port, & real battery life.

     

    Main CON was WTF how does this go in my pocket, and how do I carry it without holding it in my hand.

     

     

     

    Gaming Life: Excuse to get a 760GTX went it came out, Casual, Dosbox, Emulator Gaming, PS2, PC Gaming Streaming, multitasking, Twich Streaming, & a fair price tag for a brilliant idea. With the right internet connection PC games on the go without compromise. Later the service that lets you play games on their server! WHAT A GREAT WAY TO MAKE GAMING better for adults who may be on the verge of loosing touch with friends, family, & gaming all togather!

     

     

     

    This is a great idea, I hope Ben picks it up; if not I will. I am chronically ill or I would start this idea tonight. I am a noob channel/content provider with poor production quality, I would much much rather the pros pick it up.

     

    Best idea, make a board that allows you to adapt your current device to a portable one without opening it, voiding the warranty, or damaging it.

     

    Make it a public file using chips/such that you could get at.....well lets say Element14???? hmmm and bring back the portable the way it should have always been.

     

    Maybe even start this as, well lets say, a community project with modular add-ons that hmmm, maybe people can mix, match, and upgrade on Element 14?

     

     

    OP: Great idea, lets try and bring it home.

    What if we make it a Nintendo switch clone? After all, the hardware is similar. I really hope Ben consider this for a next project, sadly he's already busy with a ton of projects (including another portable). I'm considering doing it myself, I'll lurk ebay to see if I get a good price on a used unit.
