F64 build log

Lets just get your facts right. I don't sell portable gamecubes. What's the point in making something worth £500 when the only thing you're going to get offered is £200? The fact that some people here are delusional enough to think they're going to be able to churn out portables all day and get a high price for it is just laughable, especially when 99% of the people who enquire barely have a penny to spend on the portables in the first place. They get exactly what they pay for.

Really how am I pissing you off, I'm just giving advice on how to not come across badly to others. :neutral2:

And I sell my portables "all day long" for $700-$800. So I really don't think it's "laughable" at all.

Seriously man I wasn't trying to make you feel not welcome.
 
Hail; your portables go for those prizes because they are *Can'tSayThisOnTV*ing masterpieces. My first portable looked like it was made by a drunk Elisabeth Taylor. I hope to redeem myself with my second one. Keep the pics coming Hatrix:)
 
Yeah, I'm really interested in seeing this thing finished. It looks awesome, and the bondo work is superb :)
 
Glad to know everything's been settled between you two. You're both right. And I, the stupid power-hungry ShockSlayer, am wrong.

NOW GO BUILD SOME PORTABLES AMIRITE?

SS
 
I have a zillion more things to say, but all of them would be offensive so I'll drop it.

Anyway, just relocate the cart slot. I was under the impression that was your plan from the very beginning. Also, nice bondo work.

Yeah that. Also, wouldn't relocating the cart slot be the more logical thing to do instead of flipping the whole board around? :dah:
 
Jesus, you guys will fight about anything.
The Jolly African American don't wanna tell you bout his flax, who gives a *Can'tSayThisOnTV*?


Anyway, nice concept. Although, I would have just put the N64 upwards, and BAM. Instant frontloader.

If you sell them all day long for $700 - $800 (which is about £500, hence my saying worth £500 but no serious buyers) why do I only see 5 very mediocre portables in your signature? How long did it take to actually sell them? I bet it took a few months for a real person willing to spend that to come along.

I'm glad a lot of you are prepared to see what I have to offer before jumping the gun like this guy here in making his assumptions. My work will speak for itself in time.

As I clearly said in the first post, I'm tired of portable gamecubes and I want to start unique challenges, and this is EXACTLY why I'm here. I'm not here to score browny points with invisible mods or sell portable gamecubes. Too many people are making them now.

No, I'm here because I want to finish a project that I started which already had a build log over a year ago, write guides on portable and case construction, do wiring diagrams, etc, to benefit the community. Hailraiser is making me think that was a big mistake.


Being actually on topic: Today I'm going to get my N64 out of storage. It's been sat in a draw for the past year and last time I remembered, a piece broke off, but I don't remember what part. Then I'm going to chop down the board to see what kind of height I'm dealing with.

In the mean time I'm going to be modifying the power brick so that it's a cable + block + cable. I'll be attaching a kettle lead port to it so I can easily unplug it.

Can any of you recommend a project box I can host the board for that in?

oh man, you really shouldnt go there. talk about flame war starting material. if you are gonna call hails portables mediocre, you better have something to show thats a *Can'tSayThisOnTV*ton better than his. and he has made like 5 or more that arent in his sig, only one of which was mediocre, IMO. (the original etch-a-sketch genny).

just dont go there. you will make many people very angry.

as for the n64, i too vote for a cartslot relocation. ;) way sexier than mounting the board perpendicular.
 
If you call Hail's portables mediocre your either blind or just plain stupid. Stop with the *Can'tSayThisOnTV*ing retarded behaviour and get back on track.
 
If you call hail's portables stupid, you're starting a flame war. Can we stop the flame war and just follow the progress of this n64?
 
ANY further discussion on hailrazer's portables and EnterTheHatrix's unseen other work or any post made off the topic of the frontloading n64 will result in a 3 day ban after this point. Off-hand comments will not receive less treatment.

I am serious.

I would recommend the LP-51P on polycase.com. You might be able to fit it in a slightly smaller case in that series though.

Also, this creation of yours. Is it just a vertical N64 or is there more to it? Lookin good by the way. ;)

When did I call it stupid?



On topic though, I picked up the N64 from storage today. Rust and rats. I tried to brush off some of the rust and ended up breaking off a leg on one of the big chips. I've fixed it and it seems to work fine at the moment. I think a rat must have pissed up it because it stinks.
 
Heheh, that reminds me of an n64 I got for free. About ten roaches all clustered around the main 3 big chips, like a little warmth party...

You may want to do what I just did - rotate the cartslot 90 degrees:
