Got the speakers and battery indicator LED mounted. I mounted the display temporarily to see what it looks like. I mounted the fan and used electrical tape to cover the controller board. I then mounted the motherboard in the case using four screws. None of the cables are managed, so it...

Successfully connected the analog stick and all of the buttons to the controller board. I also changed the red power LED on the motherboard to a green one. Tested it out with some Goldeneye and everything works great! Now it's just a matter of securing everything where it needs to go in the...

@ XCVG The one I'm using is just a regular Super Pad 64, but they both have giant analog sticks. The GameCube analog stick is much nicer. I got the GameCube analog stick mounted in place. All that's left is to connect all the buttons and to secure everything in the case.

In short, I just prefer the GameCube analog stick to others.

My Hori Mini Pad bit the dust today. I was working on getting the controller hooked up and I must have shorted the board because it is no longer working. :hit: Kind of makes you want to cry as they are not cheap. :cry4: But life goes on. :P I went into my closet and pulled out a Super Pad 64...

Got the fan connected. I'm using a 5V fan, so I just tapped off the 7805 on the N64 motherboard. Now It's time to get the controller working.

Love the design! Looks very professional, and seems like it will be easy and comfortable to use. What software do you use for your renders? Is that going to be R and Z on the back?

Got the speakers and headphone jack working today. Because the headphone jack will be glued to the case, I needed a way for it to be detachable so you can remove components for repairs without desoldering. The solution was to use a 4 pin JST connector to connect the headphone jack at one end...

Added copper heat sinks to the motherboard. :D

I ordered a new PSOne screen after blowing the board on my old one and it just came in! I decided to remove the anti-glare from the salvaged LCD. Here is the original LCD with anti-glare. This is the LCD with the anti-glare removed. I'm still trying to decide which one I'll use for this...

Got the buttons mounted on the top case using plastic, tact switches, spacers, and hot glue. I found this foam for cameras on eBay. It's only a couple millimeters thick, has adhesive backing, and works perfectly as an LCD cushion.

Anyone have an idea as to why the LCD and backlight seemed to work without connecting the 5V sense in? I didn't connect the 7805 to pin 12 on socket 1 as shown in the picture and you can see that the LCD and backlight still works. Is the 5V sense in connection necessary for this mod?

@ spiicyice Great question. This case is too thin to fit the cartridge slot when it's mounted lower on the board. When I tried it, it was pushing up against the LCD board. By mounting it higher, I was able to overlap the cartridge slot on the motherboard to make everything fit. After doing some...

Got the LCD wired up. Next step is to get the audio working.

Had to revisit the case. After mounting the cartridge slot on the motherboard, I realized it stuck out of the case quite a bit. I added some plastic to the case to cover the exposed cartridge slot and to help guide the game cartridge into the slot. I then ABS cemented the spacers for the...
