I want to see this REALLY badly

I swear I'll get a chance here soon and finish it up, but it so god Dang fun to play I have no time to finish it.

After a few hours(like, two) of playing, the screen get's pretty warm, and so does the n64 and junk and whatever. Eventually my screen starts to cut on and off. I can blo on it to cool it off and it stops for a while. I'm thinking a few vents would solve the problem, as right now I have none. XD
Maybe a fan?
AND, I actually played it straight to it's death and there were no obvious low battery signs, so I need to make myself a low battery indicator. Couple that with adding a headphone jack and an AC adapter plug, and I'll be almost done.
So, any advice/diagrams/(help me mario/bentomo)/anytthing on how to do the low battery life thing?
These are my batteries: http://www.batteryspace.com/CustomPolym ... 38PID.aspx
Should I do a video like bentomo's and timelapse with a digital multimeter? I could also do temperature testing too, as I have a temp gun.

Low battery indicator:
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=255
Use the second version, the first is way too fiddly.
I've used that low-battery indicator in two portables and it is AWESOME. You can build it pretty small, too (see: Sprocket64) and it's easy to set up. Just keep checking your batteries and when they get to the low-battery voltage (say, 6.9 or 7v) then turn the pot until the light turns red.
Note: If for some reason you don't have that many 10k resistors, you can use 1k instead. I built both of my low-battery indicator circuits with only 1k resistors due to a misreading, and they both work fine.

You should hardwire a multimeter in! Cut up the board, bridge flax so it's always on VDC mode, than wire the battery to it. Just cut a screen hole and it'll always display your battery's voltage. 
(This sounds like it's really pointless but cool.)

Yeah use daftmikes. What's cool about daft mikes is you can use a bicolor led, that's in the 64 boy.
When you do build it don't put it all on one pc board, try to use wires and put all the parts in different places in the case.
Oh and also use a multiturn pot for the diagram, it's really hard to get a single turn one to stay calibrated on the right spot. If you can use fixed resistors that would be better but I never got it to work, it works as a voltage divider so you just need two resistors, daftmike got it to work but I had no such luck, I just put in a trimmer.

Still need to get the parts for a low battery light.
Installed headphone jack and AC jack the other day. Drilled some really crude vents, too. >.>
Today, I installed a filter for the screens 7.2v line, no more interference for me!

I'm not entirely sure. I just copied what was on the filter/fuse board I got. I have no idea how it works.
Also, if I can find the right plug, I will make this a double portable.
