Okay guys, I should really be working on this, and guess what, I just started to again. For now i just wired an 1/8th inch jack to the video output so i can use it on my handy 7 inch portable dvd player. I need some stuff for the portable though so check the junkyard as I am about to make a WTB thread.
Thanks guys,
And sorry for keeping you waiting!

Oh yeah, its a picture time 
So far I have video, and audio hooked up. I also have the cart relocated and hot-glued the connections for no shorts or loose wires. Since I don't have batteries yet, I think I will make it wall powered, then later add a battery pack if I or a buyer is interested. My next step is to wire power, and make a rough drawing of what the franken-casing should look like when completed. After that, I can build the case and hope I can fit everything inside. If I can, I will then take everything out and paint it. Also, I have an idea to make a fan that turns on and off based on the temperature inside because my heat-sinking isn't too great. I may, and will most likely, redo it. So still a long way to go, and lots of Bondo to be wasted
But I am on a good path
Heres 2 pics of the whole contraption so far.
Heres 2 pics of the 7 inch screen, great picture quality, bad camera quality
Audio amp, it is a bit large...oh well, since I have a 7-inch screen, I should have room
Controller so far, needs the d-pad section cut and wired. As well as the start button wired too.

what I did I believe is cut the Black and Gray wires all in half, stripped them, and then tinned them. I then just extended them per-say, by adding new wire. The direction is based on the one black wire. Solder the black wire first, and just follow the wires and then boom, your done

I do that and it never works

dsv101 said:Your wires may be too long, to thin, or to thick if that helps
Wires being too thick will not be an issue. It is most likely the previous two.

Or use a third party controller (or that IC that guy made) and solder on a GC stick

Bumpdate...sadly I think I have to abandon this project :*( anyway, I may put the electronics up for sale however so they still have some good use I believe I have the following Items:
-N64 With Cart Relocation completed and the bigger memory pack
-7 inch portable DVD Player Screen
-Wired 3.3v Regulator
-Not-Wired battery saver thingy circuit for charging

Just don't really have commitment for this anymore. I figure I should get rid of it before I break it.... lol

So guess what, A buddy lent me conker's bad fur day, and I was all like "Dang, my n64 is in pieces, maybe I should finish that portable."
So alas, two years and ten days from launch, how portablizing usually works, I shall continue on. Updates soon! (With normal quality pictures this time)

First update:
My cart slot location is failing after sitting in a box for almost two years. Either a wire is cracked, or there is a short. Because games will only turn on if I hold the cartridge at a slight angle. Which is weird because I hot glued all the wires into place on the PCB and cart slot after completion to prevent this from happening. Darn it...
However, my 7-inch Portable DVD Player screen is still beautiful, as well as my audio amp.
Here's what I have to do next:
Redo cart-slot relocation
Figure out a case (frankencased plastic and JB-Weld or Bondo)
Wire everything up in the case
Sadly, this portable will not have a battery as of now, as I can't put up the money for one.
