Also we got the N64 board even smaller.
It gets smaller by the hour.
We are close to the point where you really can't make it smaller with out redesigning everything.
Credit for all of the tracing,testing, and trimming goes to βeta,ShockSlayer, and I BoFoSho.
We all did work, Now that SS is busy with his newest portable, βeta and I are going to be doing the Tracing,Testing, and Trimming.

Who cares?
You're making a home console smaller, I don't much care about it.
Sure, you can make one the size of a Credit Card.
But even if you did, I wouldn't *Can'tSayThisOnTV*ing want it, or a portable of it.
Put an N64 into a Gameboy Color I still wouldn't pay more than $30, so, *Can'tSayThisOnTV* it.

They're just saying it as an example of the size.Atari said:
Bo, Beta, you know we're just measuring dicks.
I don't care about portables.
I'm not here to say "Well I'm better than those cunts but hey whatever."
I'm saying "I could make a *Can'tSayThisOnTV*ing tiny one, but they're the only ones who'll actually take the time to do it."

this thread...wow..
Now why the *Can'tSayThisOnTV* can't we get this kind of attention in the GC section!?!?
Oh, and Beta, you seriously need to get a PS2 retrocon controller. The Joysticks arent the only treat, its also got built in tacts that have virtually no thickness on the controller board.

Nothing wrong with fitting it inside the GBO

Because, the N64 is much more expendable than the Gamecube. Think, all of those fried N64s can be used for tracing, board scans, and theoretical cutting. Second, the N64 is dirt cheap. Third, it is much easier to trace than the Gamecube; the N64 has larger traces, and fewer of them too. The chips are simpler and you can solder to all of them (GC uses BGA for its processors). Fourth, the N64 is simple; it's two layered. You don't have to look out for hidden traces or voltage allocation. What you see is what you get. Every trace is right in front of you, and you don't have to ruin a perfectly good board to find them. Removing the chips are easier with ChipQuik. I could go on and on, but here's the honest truth: the N64 is commonplace. So are N64 portables. There are more N64 portables in the world than any other device. The Gamecube no such footing. And N64 portables are cheaper to make.Tchay said:
