That game is like 1/3rd of my childhood. The other two are Ocarina and SM64.

The games of my childhood were Doom (2 mostly, some 1), Command and Conquer (mostly RA2/YR) and The Sims (where I relentlessly tortured my test subjects families). Maybe that's why I'm so *Can'tSayThisOnTV*ed up.

Re: JB-64 A Nintendo 64 portable WIP

That is gorgeous. And I feel your pain about parts in the mail.

Re: JB-64 A Nintendo 64 portable WIP

Shortly after I posted, I went and did some test fits. It is going to be a pain in the ass to get everything to fit.

I'm probably going to have to redo the whole audio amp to make it lay flat. It is going to suck.

Re: JB-64 A Nintendo 64 portable WIP

I feel your pain brotha... Normally we wouldn't be complaining about that kind of a problem, but the portable world is different...Smaller is better, unless it's not...

The JB-55's a Sega, eh?

I'll finish mine eventually.

Re: JB-64 A Nintendo 64 portable WIP

It wouldn't be so bad if I had found a smaller audio amp.

Re: JB-64 A Nintendo 64 portable WIP

I may have a smaller audio amp, if you want. Something like1/4"x3/4" trimmed. Mono. Pm me if you want it.

Re: JB-64 A Nintendo 64 portable WIP

If you want to save space, you could skip the amp. I once wired a speaker directly to the audio line and it sounded loud enough; you could put a variable resistor on it as well.

Re: JB-64 A Nintendo 64 portable WIP

Thanks guys, but I'm about to do some slimming to it. Shouldn't be too bad.

Re: JB-64 A Nintendo 64 portable WIP

Soon to be n64 status LEDs. They were pre diffused, but I used some diffusive paper from an old backlight so the light would fill the entire speaker grill. Meh.

Someone should help me so I can put my analog stick back in: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=6396

Re: JB-64 A Nintendo 64 portable WIP

Status LED's as in a low battery indicator? that sounds pretty cool, it's a lot different than having a small LED for an indicator. are you going to use red for low battery? or will they just shut off? any how hope you keep up the progress.

Re: JB-64 A Nintendo 64 portable WIP

They'll just shut off. Basically they just let me know when the n64 is on. I may wire them so one side tells me that the n64 is working fine, and the other tells me when screen or audio amp is working.

Re: JB-64 A Nintendo 64 portable WIP

I had the controller wired and everything working, but it was just too big of a mess. I took everything out if the front half of the case and started over.

I did the same thing about 3 times with the Ccube. It sucks. Taking breaks, even a if only for a couple hours can really boost your stamina.
