Ben Heck’s Xbox One Portable Part 1

[@sinfulldreamer]

The Atari cartridge restoration felt like some sort of restoration from an ancient civilization. This gives me chills as to what it would be like if society as we know it crumbled and people found hardware thousands of years later.

[@Hyreia]

sinfulldreamer I had the same chill. And then got really happy to see the results. It looks like that cartridge did its job protecting the the chip. He had to "cheat" a little with the wires but the results are worth it. If civilization did collapse, things look good for old fashion game cartridges and not so good for discs and cloud storage. If Asteroids can survive crushed and buried in a landfill for 30 years, I suspect they'd last even longer in someone's attic. Meanwhile the discs would probably rot in that time span.

[@blackflame100]

sinfulldreamer Fallout, lol

[@bibasik7]

Fun fact: Nintendo Switch cartridges rattle.

[@kinkleXberry]

You really, REALLY deserve more than half a million subscribers. Your hacks and portable builds are fantastic.

[@GibbsyGoodness]

I've known about your channel for for no more than 24 hours, and i must say you inspire me. i only wish i found you earlier, please keep doing what it is you're doing and thankyou.

[@cheesetrap_rl9935]

Same boat. Inspired to hack my stuff

[@skylarhawkins3916]

Same I literly just want to by a

[@skylarhawkins3916]

Xbox to make it portibel

[@Hellwyck]

Buy a dictionary.

[@samtherat6]

That Asteroids segment should've been it's own video.

[@s0nnyburnett]

It really should have.

[@JosephXFS]

+cebarvideos With what money?

[@cebarvideos]

JosephXFS idk

[@parkandharbourproductions]

He clearly doesn't understand KZbin does he

[@dogcrick]

I can't believe you fixed that Asteroids game! So awesome!

[@GeniusPhysicist]

Ben, you can build anything. Love the shows. Here's to the next PlayStation and Xbox. I can't wait for the next gen console conversion.

[@MindMeetMaker]

I have starting to think too much is being decided / built off camera, Ben with your older builds you would spend more time exploring ideas and testing them, for the viewer this made the episode more interesting, where was the footage for the designs cut on the laser, or the CNC designs and build of your Jig on the bandsaw. Your show is starting to remind me of a childrens TV show in England UK called Blue Peter that got a catch phase "Heres One I Made Earlier" as everything was pre-assembled before cameras rolled. I dont like to be negative as I love the show and look forward weekly for another dose, just compared to your older style episodes there seems to be something missing and less gripping.

[@Robonza]

Cool show Ben, just a little constructive feedback, laser cutting vinyl makes chlorine gas which can kill living things including humans and corrodes your laser cutter. I won't laser it! Cutting ABS makes cyanide gas which is actually not as bad but should be vented and filtered. Oh yeah cleaning PCB's with wire wool can catch you out as one metal hair can destroy all. I use scotchbrite if I want to be aggressive with out extra risk.

[@TheRealObiWahn]

It may sound weired, but the most interesting part of this episode to me was the Atari-"Dump-Cartridge"-Resurrection...

[@lillydoye7418]

If only all tech time outs could be as good as the one in this episode.

[@GreenMikethe]

Simply thank you ben please get 1,000,000 subscribers soon

[@julianlindsay4000]

I actually live in Alamogorodo, NM. I was their when they were digging up the ground for the E.T carts.

[@H0rcrux]

I love your vids Ben. It's adorable how no matter what, you can't say "Neodymium" properly to save your life. It's charming. :)

[@dfernand101]

I can't believe you got that Atari 2600 Asteroids cartridge working from the desert landfill, amazing.

[@ChubbsRN]

I'm really excited to see how this build will turn out. Also, great job reviving that dead atari cartridge

[@internziko]

ben heck.. making the world better one hardware hack at a time..

[@imapoojabba]

I think 'Hecking' should be a word...

[@imapoojabba]

And he is building the Hecksbox

[@internziko]

Poo Jabba "HecksBox One"

[@thottietoohottie1932]

+paul Z "hexbox PS"

[@Bront]

why is this not a tv show! you deserve a show!

[@cristhiantrinidad7526]

how the hell have i been on youtube for so long and NEVER CAME ACROSS THIS CHANEL!?!?!? I love the content!!!

[@musicvideoenhancer]

This chanell its simply awesome, Ben is extremely skilled and I simply cant stop to watching episode after episode. Congrats and greetings from Brazil, Ben!

[@JadarDev]

That was the best Tech Timeout ever.

[@DiamondKillers]

I would love to make one with a touchscreen display, SD card reader and a keyboard, the keyboard could just be Bluetooth with a receiver in the display due to having some spare space. But I'm not very good at this sort of stuff.

[@Jay-kc2pm]

+George Young You'd have to map the touch screen in such a way that you'd have to change the code in order to make it emulate a controller. As for the SD card reader, you can buy a SD to USB adapter for cheap on EBay. The keyboard would have limited support and would only be useful for typing faster. So, is it worth it? It depends.

[@allluckyseven]

I still want to see Ben de-portabilize a handheld gaming console. Making it so that you could hook it up to your TV. I gave him the suggestion of doing that with a GBA, but apparently there's some accessory already that allows you to do that. =/

[@TheEnricoMicheli]

Yeah, sort of, the Super Game Boy for the SNES

[@nikomiyozo8671]

And the gameboy player for GameCube

[@allluckyseven]

I think he talked about the gameboy player. But I wanted something more _raw_. Down to the metal. Soldering and desoldering stuff. Forcing it to obey your comman-- I mean...The usual Ben Heck stuff.

[@albiiiiii_]

Well there's a kickstarter about the HDMY BOY, an addon for the first gameboy that allow you plug it in hdmi

[@allluckyseven]

SΛmfreeman05 Hey, that's a very cool project those guys are doing. It's pretty much what I wanted, except that it's for the GameBoy, not the GBA. Still great, though. Thanks for letting me know!

[@TechAssistant024]

Does he ever realize he can get a laptop display a $20 board to use hdmi

[@MrGencyExit64]

Laptop displays are ridiculously expensive on top of that extra $20. They're not meant to be purchased by the end-consumer, so when you can get them, they're not at mass produced prices.

[@glitchsmasher]

MrGencyExit64 Also they use proprietary interfaces for the most part.

[@zanduh04]

MrGencyExit64 You can get a laptop display for decent prices online where they sell spare laptop and phone parts. Mostly it's places that buy used electronics and do tear-downs for the individual working components.

[@glitchsmasher]

ZanderDude Yes, but didn't you see Ben's video on reworking displays? He tried to get a display from a photo frame to waork. It took him ages and in the end he didn't have electronics to drive it.

[@MrGencyExit64]

glitchsmasher Actually, it's not proprietary. There is a widely used standard called FPD (Flat Panel Display Link) which is based on LVDS (low voltage differential signaling) for connecting the flat panel to its controller logic board. More recently, eDP (Embedded Display Port) has also been standardized.

[@SdudyoyO]

Looks pretty cool so far! this was a great idea! I've never heard of a Xbox Tablet!

[@WatchdogGoon]

In this episode we learn Ben loves pop music.

[@aljr357]

Wow that's going to be a huge portable system I'm hoping for a handheld Xbox one or at least one the size of a iPad or iPad pro.

[@dave-dubb]

The Ben Heck lego talk is the best

[@draggonhedd]

I love funky foam. I always keep some around. good for everything!

[@Soledata]

You know you gotta do one with the Xbox One S now Ben! Perhaps with a 4k screen?

[@frollard]

16:50 Don't laser cut vinyl! Of all materials that shouldn't go in a laser, vinyl is at the top - it offgasses chlorine gas which will sully the optics in a REAL hurry then you are without a laser cutter :(

[@jorenmartijn]

Please make a GameCube portable with the GameBoy Player addon built-in. I'd love to see that. You can make it smaller if you use a mod chip to bypass the disc drive.

[@xanokothe]

Finally! Portable Projects!

[@DeIeted]

All you would have to do for the PS4 is build a fat back hinge for a screen and to hide the cabling.

[@JaredReabow]

would be cool if you did the videos release before they were all recorded so people could give ideas

[@ScottBeebiWan]

16:29 Microsoft Air Bubbles? ☺

[@EliteSniperTV]

Someone really needs to give heck a freakin gaming laptop already

[@EliteSniperTV]

The point is that it's a portable gaming machine

[@danielbibit]

Bogan Mike is a joke...

[@Apollo2001]

Stop hating dude likes to do what he does I'm getting a raspberry pi and I'll probably do a lot of what he does

[@CIubDuck]

Bogan Mike Yes it was a joke...

[@CIubDuck]

Bogan Mike It's pretty obvious that it was a joke. Ben has made so many different portable consoles, and EliteSniperTV said "why not just get a gaming laptop?" So that Ben can play whatever he wants on a single laptop instead of fiddling around with 10 different portable consoles.

[@gtb81.]

Holy crap you made it work that is awsome an Atari game now working and back from the dead awsome

[@CaffeinatedFrostbite]

this guys is seriously my hero. he does everything i wish i could do!

[@_mathis]

I'm doing the ecxat same thing right now, but with a ps3 ss. I hope I can learn something in this episode, because I didn't found an LCD thats fitting yet. Thank you for your show! Sorry if I made some mistakes, I'm from Germany.

[@corsegerspwnd]

wtf are you even trying to type dude ?? you call that english ?? WHAHAHAH

[@corsegerspwnd]

JibbyVideos omfg what language are you using ? MOON LANGUAGE ?? fuck me

[@JibbyVideos]

corsegerspwnd You're quite the keyboard warrior I see! Feisty!

[@startazz]

JibbyVideos I was thinking more on the lines of a Troll but your's is just as good i guess,no matter what an idiot is an idiot and he is. :-)

[@JibbyVideos]

startazz I though I'd go with something a little more fresh :)

[@sousamaster06]

What kind of super glue does Ben use? He seems to have good results each time. I have used RP5 industrial glue but it only sticks to certain plastics, Gorilla Super Glue seems to work with more materials, and Krazy Super Glue worked the best for me.

[@Hirogen6]

Yes! Use the Kragle!

[@themaconeau]

Kinda want to know where to get the industrial tweezers. Until I worked with a IDC cable, I didn't see a need. Today is a different day. :)

[@Alloferjohnson]

Are you considering doing a giveaway for this, because this is one of my favorite projects so far, and it would be incredible to own!

[@brudahwhoopa7892]

Ben, you have a 3d printer right? Well, What if you could take some normal kitchen equipment, some normal ingredients, and a couple tricks up your sleeves, as-well as a kitchen book to make your own food 3d printer.

[@kyky121911]

Just noticed Ben uploaded this on my birthday

[@pistruiatualin]

The cover looked really floppy in the middle, at the end of the video. Put some magnets there too, or reinforce it.

[@pacmanpaquette]

Ben, Someone needs to introduce you to my good friend; Super 77... its way better than Crazy glue for making covers/Cases when 2 types of materials are used.

[@HumanoidRogue]

This channel has got to get more popularity

[@rachelt6389]

can you please do a portable playstation 4

[@PowerSports]

Why choose the XB1? How about doing the PS4 next!

[@cameronclough8568]

Maybe you could include the microphone from the Kinect, for voice controls? (even if you don't include the camera)

[@variacable]

Finally so keen to watch this

[@Robipalusaable]

Ben Heck is just awesome love this show :)

[@terrylembke8100]

Hi,Ben . This is another cool project . I like it . I must say your projects is well thought out and done . You give me alot of ideas for my own stuff . I feel sorry for felix , He must have to go home and have a beer and say to himself I hope what those two have is not contaigous LMAO . All in fun guys . Love your projects and I wish to all of you a very merry christmas and a happy healthy prosperous new year . Warmest Regards Terry

[@TheRamblingG]

Is it just me or is this guy soooo awsome, very cool show :)

[@MAYERMAKES]

i´m very courious, if the form factor of the finished unit gets near a tablet (in relation to the screen size of course) and how to transport the controller, it doesn´t seem to be included for transportation..so you would ned an extra bag...

[@tippete123]

Whats that PCB we can see behind Ben to the right bolted behind the screen? at 15:40?

[@themaconeau]

5:10 Did Professor Cro approve? :P

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

17:38, Neodymium Magnet not Neomydium Magnet ;)

[@jayzah]

Finally! Did you manage to get a few ideas from darkuncle33?

[@hfproject6159]

I am from Indonesian,and i love this channel ❤️❤️❤️

[@robotic2000k]

@ 16:09 no "thank you" to Alyson??? :(

[@aljr357]

I wish that Microsoft would just come out with a tablet sized portable Xbox one or at least a handheld that was equivalent to the 360 or Xbox one I've been hoping they would come out with a handheld since the original Xbox came out.

[@JGChannel]

I would like to see if you can make any adjustment on a laica laser tracker .

[@DAVIDGREGORYKERR]

Almost the whole XBOX ONE is part of the AMD A8 processor which has 8xCPU cores and 8xGCNs and the TrueAudio DSP north and south bridge hardware the only hardware on the motherboard is the system RAM LAN controller and WIFI controller.

[@vincentpereira4517]

Where can I find that documentary? By the way amazing video! ^_^

[@beterbarker]

You should leave a list of parts your using in the description so people can replicate your work.

[@jmaes40]

I think that was insane fixing the old Atari land fill game

[@tonyhong20]

I think it would've been much easier if the monitor he took apart had audio out so it would have built-in​ amplification of the HDMI audio signal

[@felixflores5225]

Amazing , its the best portable gaming system ever

[@D0S81]

ok so im 35, which means im old but not over the hill. lol, so i was lucky enough to be playing video games almost from the get go...almost, my head nearly exploded when that atari landfill cartdrige game out, thing is, i never saw the insides of cartridges i played as a kid, (ive only took apart 4th/5th and 6th gen -h8 the term 'nxt gen'-consoles or pads when mine broke from playing) i never realised how small the insides are compared the the casing? it seems the same with early consoles too from back then even genisis (my fav back then) that alot of the casing was unnecessary and they could have been made way sleeker and smaller than they were. i just couldnt get over how small the insides of that cartridge are.

[@gadzintu]

This js impressive. I wonder how thick it will be though.

[@DonnyStanley]

probably less thick than the actual console itself but nearly the same. The console has a lot of empty space because Microsoft was extra worried about airflow.

[@miketeo4627]

So, Ben Heck is a graphics designer, does he have prior experience with electronics(before starting the ben heck show)? How come hes knows so much about electrical wiring layout of a board just by looking at it? Please tell me your secret. : D

[@Jay-kc2pm]

+Mike Teo (Toasty) A lot of time working with computers i believe.

[@rickbarker4467]

I write security software updates, but I still know how to do mason work and read a blueprint. O and weld. No-limits bro.

[@vwflow]

You should upload videos far more often! Would be great !

[@alphadoesgaming--taclan1843]

Ben thank you this has been my dream to see this and I want to try it my self

[@rustyshackleford5166]

Must.....see......next.....EPISODE!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

[@sagesends]

I honestly don't know why you chose the XBone. The PS4 has no power brick and is much more compact.

[@Rie472]

Well then it wouldn't be much of a challenge would it?

[@sagesends]

Ballrace1 i guess

[@WareNetwork3264]

It's his channel! It's not yours!

[@sagesends]

[_/\_]AReNetW0rk∃264 - The Daddy Of KZbin Poop! Wow i had no idea!

[@BBHDragZz]

Technically the PS4 does have a brick its just not outside the console like the Xbox. If you watch his PS4 teardown he shows it.

[@BoingotheClown]

I think the Atari landfill cartridge thing should have been its own seperate episode.

[@HSRMF]

can you please take a look at WIIU and tell us if you have any way to make it fully portable ...?...

[@ryanbolin1858]

I wanna see him make a gamecube portable. if need be, the Wii plays gamecube games, so you could save significant space that way.

[@adrian20993]

Ben, please make a portable wii u it would be a great idea to go on trips i know that the gamepad is portable but i mean a way of taking the actual console on the go like in a backpack or something like that :)

[@Apollo2001]

All you need is a portable tv and some where to put the wii

[@adrian20993]

Yeah but i was thinking on just a way of powering the wii u console to have it, in a backpack or something and play on the gamepad that way you dont neet a tv and have the gamepad kind of like a portable console :)

[@mihir2607]

for some reason atari part got me ..... i don't care about that portable screen i wanna see that game working ^_^

[@יואבמגידיש-ה9ת]

why flat? it's in tablet form basically the more wide it is the bbetter grip you can get on it

[@shinra358]

I would love to see 3D printer stuff on this channel.

[@Visuwyg]

Nice this looks very interesting! I like that you do something different instead of another "Laptop"!

[@flixlion9109]

Can you maybe redo it with the XBOX One S? It should be a be a lot smaller/thinner due to power consumption.

[@hashtaglps6372]

Excuse me Ben Heck could you make a tutorial on how to put pack a xbox one (with ever pieces off including the disc fan etc) Please do it I need your help your my hero I look up to you alot please do a tutorial please. :)

[@ttiollesivad]

I like that its in a similar shape to the Microsoft surface

[@ChadKenova]

I love you work but your kinda rough with your screwdriver prying stuff open why don't you use a spudger,(but i guess your not using most of the pieces) maybe im a bit ocd and hate scratches or knicks in the plastic. I have an old xbox 360 i want to try to water cool, i couldn't see myself trying to mod my ps4 or one, couldn't afford a new console if i bricked one. Would love to have a 3D printer you can make pretty much any piece you need keep up the good work.

[@Cdbarron727]

You are awesome!!! My new inspiration for tinkering!

DO A PS4 portable too

[@arash20007]

could you not flip the acrylic when cutting it instead of making a jig?

[@waltercomunello121]

"portable" as in "I'm gonna need a fairly large backpack to carry this battery-powered thing around", a little like the early Linx?

[@andreibiswas862]

hay Ben Heck how much did to spend on all the materials

[@beanymane7931]

Can the general public get there hands on what he creates?
