A RAM swap is easier and saves more space. viewtopic.php?f=33&t=628

Also, you can' t fit a board in that case without RCP, kid. This is just about as small as you can get without RCP, and it's about 4.2"x5"

RAM swap is easily doable with Chip Quik. I can do it, I just made simple mistakes........and I ran out of Chip Quik.

If you need tips on doing it, I can help.

Read my post before you comment, I'm not just some noob who wants a small portable. I'm going to RCP wire, those pictures are
I would do a ram swap, but my portable is going to be about as thick as my trimmed expansion pack, so I don't want to do a RAM swap if I don't have to. I might do one if I decide it will make my portable smaller.

I saw the probably RCP part, but not the second part. It seemed as though you still didn't know if you had to RCP or not, so I was just trying to clarify. And of course, you can do your RAM bendy trick, but I would suggest a RAM swap because the RAM and the expansion pak PCB are prone to snapping now. It's just safer and cleaner.

Oh, I guess I took your other post the wrong way. When I say I'm probably going to RCP wire, I'm going to try it, and if I fail and cant get it to work, then I will make a bigger case than the one I'm planning. Also, like I said before, I might do a ram swap, but if everything else in my case stacks up as high as my bent expansion pack, a ram swap won't help any (my mobo will be at back of my case). The only other benefit of a ram swap is less current draw for the n64.

Also, I have an idea for using a piece of metal that will also be a heat sink that will somewhat reinforce my expansion ram. Hopefully.

Edit: Now I'm tempted to do a RAM swap. I think I'm gonna by some Chipquik and test on some old PCB's. If its easy enough, I'll do it, but I need 2 RAM chips from either a Rev.6-9 board or a expansion pack.

Chip quik right thar.

WRONG STUFF CHIPQUIK IS BISMUTH SOMETHING ASK ZETURI HE KNOWS. You'll also need some flux.

Doesn't ChipQuik usually come with a tube of paste flux?

Yes. Just search for "Chip Quik."

It comes with a tube of flux, bismuth alloy, and some alcohol pads.

I got back from Italy last night and saw that my PSP joystick and retrobit controller came in the mail. So, this morning I took apart the controller tried to to get the psp joystick working on it, and pathetically realized that a retrobit controller won't work with a psp nub stick. So, I'm going to get a superpad off amazon.

On a side note, I'm going to buy this (found by Frozener) because I don't like the psp joystick very much, so I'm going to see if I like the joystick from it better. Also, it will work with a retrobit.

Lastly, since I can't think of a better name, I going to go with Fierce64.
