Nobody buy that, please. Making a portable could be one of the easiest things to do. timmeh87 once said something along the lines of : Make a portable? Why would I want to do that as my project? All it is is connecting a few things with wires, not hard enough of a project for me.Basement_Modder said:You have actually uncovered my super-secret project. I have, for the last month or so, been writing a guide in MS word, all in forum code, of how to make a ZN-40 N64p. When its done, I will just copy/ paste it over. I have to use my friend's camera to take the high-res pics, though, because mine is too old. Hopefully, the guide will make me some cold hard cash!
true making a portable is easy for those who half a brain and no how to use a soldering iron, know exactly where to find the pinouts, knows basic electronics, know how to build good quality cases etc. but i bet that over half the people that enjoy playin n64 enough to want a portable do not have half a brain or any of these things.eurddrue said:Nobody buy that, please.

It's true, making portables is not difficult at all. Nobody will actually pay for a guide, and if they do, they really, really need a brain.
I knew exactly how to wire my portable and what tools I would need on my first visit to benheck. It was in a thread by "brbhavetopee" that bacteria posted a list of tools needed. Then I printed out the stick on how to wire it, and figured out my case design by a picture by daguuy. All in roughly one half of an hour. (of course, I didn't realize my 9v battery wouldn't work )The only reason these things aren't made very often is due to the price of batteries, psone screens, and the lack of time.blaze3927 said:true making a portable is easy for those who half a brain and no how to use a soldering iron, know exactly where to find the pinouts, knows basic electronics, know how to build good quality cases etc. but i bet that over half the people that enjoy playin n64 enough to want a portable do not have half a brain or any of these things.eurddrue said:Nobody buy that, please.

plus the idea of a book is definitley not set in stone, it would be a lot easier to post up an online guide but it could be semi difficult to do in the forum format (maybe a wiki section or something)
Give me any stupid person, besides haterz, and I'll teach them how to make a portable n64.
That's because you have to describe everything in n00bish terms. If we made a free guide in the wiki, it might be a success, but I doubt it.Basement_Modder said:I disagree. I have tried to teach almost all of my friends, and none of them understood anything, as simply as I explained it, past the "Disassemble the N64" part.
