First ever project an n64 portable worklog

[modder]

Hi everyone this is my first workload so it will probably take some time to complete.

Well here is where i have got to so far:

Any idea what the black thing is meant for?



An there is the board. My next job is to wire up the cart slot ... to be continued

The black thing is the expansion port, for the N64 DD.

 

[modder]

does it get used often cause ive never needed it?

 

[Nintendott]

Yayz!
Now continue with your work!

 

[βeta]

Never used.

 

[modder]

good thats one less thing to worry about

 

[modder]

Hi All


Thought id give a quick uppdate , no pictures though

Ordered a PSone screen £13
Bought a third party contrloller for £3
Bought Golden Eye for £2
So far I am half way through relocating the cart slot. Free unless time has a price.
And all just today!

Next thing the case. Any ideas where I can order a cheap one, I do not want to build or frankencase my own one. Im from uk btw.

thanks for your time

 

[Nintendott]

A PSone case is pretty good.

 

[modder]

Thanks for the reply Nintendot but i personally do not like using a console case, dunno why just personal prefrence i guess...though some do look amazing.

The psone case only needs some bondo to fill in the crevices, and it looks good. If you use li-ion batteries, you should be able to cram everything in there with some small heat sinks.

I think it's been found a challenge to fit it all in a normal psone case. Remember the guy on BH who tried a while ago and ended up with a 2" thick beast? I'm sure modder doesn't want that.

 

[modder]

yup you got it sp

 

[Nintendott]

Hmm. okay. I have never tried to make a N64p before, but i have looked at the motherboard and its bretty small.

 

[snowpenguin]

Ooops, bump, oh well.

You can try a psone case, but it will be a bit harder than some other cases, but it's completely doable I'm sure, if you do it right.

 

[PalmerTech]

It is possible, but the width makes it impossible to fit the controls alongside a 5" LCD unless you widen it.

 

[Argelfraster]

Using a smaller screen would be easier.
3.5" from AEI comp would be nice.

 

[snowpenguin]

How wide is a psone?

 

[Mako321]

just for you
(I didn't do that to the screen and oh my gosh why is the pic so blurry?)

 

[andrewdorsey]

There's plenty of room for the controller!

Just look at the pic.

 

[snowpenguin]

Completely doable length and width wise, just trim the grounds off the screen edges.
