I think I'll stick with a portable SEGA Saturn A portable ST-V would attract way more chicks though. Wait, how about an ST-V laptop?

I want to now see a handheld supergun that has a long cable attached to a backpack that can hold an arcade board and power supply.

Hahahahahaha! ;D Can you imagine going to a public place playing A virtua racing model 1 PCB mounted on your back? That would be priceless! Perhaps you could power it with a car battery? Haha

I honestly think a Saturn Laptop would work better for something like this. That way you could do minimal changes to the board so you could put it all back in it's original case if you wanted.
Basically have it be rectangular with the screen taking up 2/3 of the length. The other 1/3 is where the disc drive is and it remains a top loader. When the screen folds up you have an 8 button Arcade Stick on the bottom part and you could make the stick detachable so the screen can fold down properly.

Basically a hi-saturn navi but with a bigger screen and built in controls?

A Saturn laptop would be too easy and I am not a fan of laptops anyway!

Basically a hi-saturn navi but with a bigger screen and built in controls? Not really. I can't really draw it right now but basically you would take the disc drive off the top of the board so it can have a flatter profile and place it to the side of the main board. Basically the top of the bottom half would look like an Arcade stick with a Disc Drive lid on the side. And You would then have a decent sized screen that would fold up.

so put the disc drive to the right or left of the motherboard, then have arcade controls on top of the board, with a screen going across the whole thing that can fold like a laptop? it seems like it would be really wide as hell. I'm guessing it wouldnt be possible to cut up the motherboard and wire the pieces together much in the way ben heck does, right?

I would rather not see the motherboard be gutted like that. That's one thing I hate about how Ben Heck does things. He destroys consoles. He doesn't care how rare they are or anything. He destroyed a CDX just to get a portable Sega CD. For how rare those things are that's just wrong if you ask me.
The one that really pissed me off earlier was when he made his first portable SNES. He used a model 2 SNES and in his guide for doing it he goes "Don't worry about the screws, just use a saw to cut the case apart to get the board out." Model 2 SNES's didn't used to be as hard to come by for a good price as they are now. After he made that guide the demand for them went up from others wanting to make portable SNES systems.
That in my opinion is wrong. You shouldn't butcher original hardware to make a portable. If you want a portable version of those systems use a clone for crying out loud. If a clone doesn't exist, I think you should take care not to butcher the parts of the original console, that way if necessary you can restore it to it's original form.

Cutting up a fully working original SEGA Saturn is not on my cards, I'll just be removing the parts I don't need from damaged or non-functioning ones, then such things as the controllers, I'll just examine the pads, then cloning them myself.
