N64 At its smallest.

[Atari]

I figured so after I wrote all of that.
Oh well.

Now why the *PLINK* can't we get this kind of attention in the GC section!?!?

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.

...That's all I can think of right now, get back to me later if you want more...

I get gamecubes for 25 and n64s for 30.

Um, WHAT DID ATARI SAY?

There are WAY THE Heck MORE 2600, NES, and SNES portables than N64 portables, GOD Dang.
Like TWICE OVER.

Jlee sells N64s for $10, I heard.

 

[Mako321]

8 plus shipping, but shipping costs a lot to Canada for him apparently.

Which have hence died off. There has been newfound interest in the N64 especially. Mario's 2600 portable was the first in a long time. I don't usually pay attention to NES portables that much unless they are real hardware portables, which discounts many of the poorly manufactured clone portables. (Which is why Bino Gas' is so awesome.) I haven't seen a SNES portable in a while. I think the last one I actually saw was LOB, who has a fetish with the SNES. As of recent, the N64 has the highest portable manufacturing rate out of any other system.

Oh, and I thought you didn't care about portables Jlee.

 

[jleemero]

They're all *Can'tSayThisOnTV*ing terrible, what does that have to do with it?

 

[Atari]

Then make one that doesn't suck. I will love you forever.

 

[ShockSlayer]

I don't care if it's 18 pounds and doesn't power up as long as it shoots fire then I'm happy.
