The original case is huge. Without trimming the board at all, you can make a portable much smaller than the original case.
if you really want a small portable, RCP wiring is a viable alternative, but it isnt easy to do. matter of fact, its just about the smallest dot pitch you can find on any portable project. Dont try it unless:
A) you dont mind killing every n64 you touch
B) Are very good at soldering.
Now, I know you dont have to be a god to RCP wire, but its not something someone who has never soldered before can just pick up and do.

I'm fairly good (not great, but way better than I used to be) and RCP scares the flax out of me. I could probably do it, but only after several N64s and a metric ton of expletives. I have TSOP flashed my XBOX though, and it was pretty sketchy. I don't think it's half as sketchy as RCP wiring though.
My next portable may be RCP wired. That is, if I ever make another portable. I'm thinking of just getting a nice Eee 1215N instead. That thing looks amazing.
