Noah's First Portable

[I am Noah]

Hey guys
Recently, I began making my first ever portable after being inspired by some of the great ones on this forum. Being 14 and all, I figured that I should try it out myself (and with a little help from my dog, Napoleon), and share my progress here

So, enough talk. Let's get into this!

The case I will be using is a zn-45. I've been doing some work on it recently and this is it so far

Currently, Im Jb Weld-ing the trigger and Z buttons to the back

My living room looks like a tornado just hit, but from the help of Napoleon, I can clean up in no time

Batteries came in

Are you planning to trim the board any?

Are you planning to trim the board any?

Probably not. The board just barely fits in, so we'll see what happens

Got a massive case-tacular update for you guys
I Implemented the 2 charge ports for charge and play.

Primed the case more

Sanded the back

I made this cart slot holder with plexiglass. Painted:

Had the neat idea of using the n64 emblem to go in front of a battery indicator. The light will shine through the letters.

Painted the back:

More electronics to come next weekend!

A lititle update for you guys! Protection circuit came in, and I got the batteries wired up!

To console:

Got my battery indicator wired up!

Now, I got a couple of questions.
1) how do you make the n64 permanently on ?
2) I've tripple checked all my wiring, and when i flick the switch nothing happens. Why? Any help will be appreciated!

More updates next week!

Did you remove the power switch? Then you need to connect the holes where the power button used to be in the same way as when power switch was on. Page 7 here shows how https://moddedbybacteria.files.wordpres ... de-pt2.pdf

Dig the battery indicator n64 emblem.

Thanks!
Just tried this out, but sadly it still doesn't turn on
Still don't know why.

Just input the 12v and 3.3v like so:

When voltage is sent here, the N64 automatically turns on.

Thanks Noah(sounds pretty weird saying that)! I'll try it on Friday.

Btw, what is bitbuild? Is it supposed to be the new and improved version of Modretro?

Sounds good. Let me know how it goes and if there's anything else you need help with.

Essentially, yeah. It's got a much more centralized database of information. Most of the questions you have asked thus far could have been answered on your own if you used our information.

Lol. I'll definitely check it out!
Thanks!

Hey guys! Got a question!
Over the week, my batteries died after leaving the indicator on. I've been using this charger

How long will they take to charge. I left it charging overnight, and tried to turn on the indicator and nothing happened.
Thanks

The charger is 500mA and your batteries capacity is 8000mAh. That means it can take 16 hours to fully charge your batteries if the rating is correct. Many manufacturers label their batteries with inflated ratings, so it could be lower.

Did you have the power switch switched correctly? The charger has no led indicator?
