Re: JB-64 A Nintendo 64 portable WIP
I was right, the wires were too long. I trimmed the board to exactly the right size afterwards. Trimming an n64 is like riding a bicycle, once you do it, it just comes naturally.
Shortened wires:

Working again:
Size compared to game:
totally 1337

It's stranded and the same size, but it is way better quality.
On another note, I think I'm going to do away with the cartridge cover and make it top loading. I broke the cover when I was test fitting and I'd rather just use my spare backing and make it smaller.

Got to work on the new cart slot tonight. Here's what I've done:
The plan:
I think it will look alright like this:
Again:
Extremely rough cut: (It fits though)
This is going to be a tight ass fit:
I will definitely be touching up that cart slot hole so that the game doesn't move at all.
That's pretty much it for now.
Edit: I free handed another end panel. It turned out better than the first one.

I have a problem with my board now. I had to trim into the P1 caps and remove the reset switch so the board will fit closer to the edges of the case. This allows me to have an expansion pak to the side of the analog stick hole. (if you need a picture or a better explanation, just ask.) But now the board won't boot up. I get the flash on the screen but that's it. ( if you've ever worked with an n64, you know what the flash is.) I also rewired every sigle trace I could find and I even soldered a new composite line.
Here are some pictures of where I had to trim:
Left side:
Right side:
Rewired traces:
Caps on the back:
Where the reset switch was:
I'm pretty sure his board isn't dead. I just think I'm missing something.
