The practice of making portable consoles was popularised by the almighty Ben Heck. He has done many.

He also wrote a book:

I would love to see what cognitive neuroscience research exists on this: This project seems to support my lay hypothesis that there exists a continuum of "aspect ratio blindness." Here is a master craftsman who has spent innumerable hours building a beautiful, unique device -- with a 16:9 screen that will, by the nature of the hardware inside, only ever display stretched 4:3 images.

I'm willing to consider that this aspect ratio blindness may consist of "lack of OCD."

I didn't notice until I saw the finished product. This is indeed a pity. Now, is there one 4:3 screen of that size on the market?

This is supremely brilliant. Really embodies the hacking spirit :)

What is the brown stuff used to fill in the gaps, is it Bondo? The results are surprisingly good!

It looks like the Pattex stuff was used to build up the gaps, and then according to the original forum post (http://www.inventosunicos.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=14):

"SE LE DA MASILLA DE CARROCERO Y SE LIJA"

Google Translate turns masilla to "caulk," I'm not sure what it is. Would love to find out - I never thought it would be possible to take a bunch of dissimilar plastic junk pieces and turn them into something that looks like it was molded as one piece.

Brilliant and very inspiring, thanks for sharing!

It goes without question, of course, that it could have been done much better, that's not the point though.
