Re: Bush's N64p
I think you should have the start button somewhere under the screen. It should be away from the other buttons. Or that bottom right spot.

Re: Bush's N64p
Are you RCP wiring? That + a flaxload of trimming is the only way you can fit an entire N64 mobo in an SL-68p
(meaning not like the TriSixtyFource.)

I'm trimming the board and relocating the slot for him.

The board still has to stick out the top.

The sizing on that 3.5" screen looks off to me, the screen in your drawing seems to small compared to the case if you look at the trisixtyfource.

Re: Bush's N64p
Don't decide where the start button is just yet. I bet it's gonna turn out that you're going to be putting it wherever it will fit.
And is that 4 player box plugging right into the bottom? Cool.
Make sure you include some thumb screws to properly secure it.

I would suggest looking at some DB15 (vga) gender-changers. You can get a M-M adapter. You can solder your wiring to the male end inside the case, and if you look at it, most of the adapters i've seen have had the screw posts on both sides, so you can take those out and screw them back in through holes in the enclosure, or replace with thumbscrews as Mario suggested. As for the breakout box itself, you should be able to do the same with that, except with a F-M adapter.
I don't know what you planned to do with that, but the gender changers would make it cleaner/neater and take up a lot less space inside the enclosure.

Re: Bush's N64p
Maybe mount the gender changer with the screw posts on the inside? you can use those to mount it inside the enclosure and that should make it at least fairly close to flush...
Seems to me you probably have plenty else to figure out before you get to this point. I'm working on my first portable, and i likely wont even bother with a breakout box. Maybe next time...

Re: Bush's N64p
(ignore the fact that this is a DB9 connector lol)
you can mount the entire assembly, screw posts and all inside, and find small screws to mount them on there from the outside. I don't know what a more stable alternative might be. I would think if you simply glued it in place, it would come loose after a few uses, as it takes a bit of pressure to plug those in sometimes.

Re: Bush's N64p
How would the screws go through the entire breakaway box to screw into the VGA port?
Really-long screws?

Re: Bush's N64p
haha, it's funny how bad we're all mixed up here.
I'm only talking about the female port he wants to mount in the portable enclosure. I'm saying he can mount the adapter on the inside (screw posts and all) and use tiny screws that go through the case and into said screw posts =P
The breakout box he can just attach/detach nothing special, but what im saying is, if you only superglue the female port into the main enclosure, there's a good chance it will come loose over time...
