Simple 64

[bentomo]

This is going to be a really fast project, I'll let the video explain. The only part I have left that I'm waiting for is the screen.



very small project for me, not a huge deal so I'm not going to make the first poke look real fancy.




EDIT

Finally done

Cool. I think after my woes with the portendo 64 I may just start making simple, no-board trimming portables like that.

As you can see, its very sturdy and *SNAP!*

Oh yeah, for the record, the master/ slave switch thing doesn't work. Mario found out the slave won't work unless the unused mobo inside is getting power. WTF. :/

Hey bentomo, make a spray booth. Box + vacuum.

Actually I'm using a special 3pole double throw switch, it turns off the power to the 7.4v and 3.3v line and switches the player one controller to player 2 on the ethernet jack. I've already made a very simple diagram, it cuts the n64 mobo out entirely (except for wires being attached to the screen at the same time) It's pretty much that the port complies with lob64.

If ever you find a way or a place to paint it, please tell me,i have the same problem

You're really gonna make a tutorial for us? What a swell guy!

Has nobody seen this? viewtopic.php?p=71894#p71894 (well, except 3 ppl.)

Looking good so far though!

Also, poratable.

LOB64 is an example of a crappy standard IMO. It sucks in a lot of ways. It requires complex switching to work properly, does not provide power for a docking station, and does not support s-video or RGB. However, it is the closest thing to a standard we have.

 

[dbozan99]

And what would you suggest? DB25?

Also, complex switching? Not really. just lots of wiring

On second thought... DB25 would be more universal and could be used for more than just N64s....Hmmm...

 

[bentomo]

Well it's a standard none the less. The diagram is simple and only uses 1 switch for master slave, I'm not going to have a docking station, the portable is going to have controller ports and video out on it so it doesn't need it.

 

[bentomo]

sorry about the delay folks



This is also my 1200 post

This is also my 1200 post

Wait 'till 1337, then we'll talk.

Looks good. None too simple, but good.

You know you're a badass when an N64p can be a "very small" side-project, haha

 

[bentomo]

Compared to the gamecube portable I've been working on the n64 is pretty simple.

I got a bunch of new gamecube games at MGC and now I'm super excited to work on mah gamecube!

P.S. The second coat of paint on the n64 is drying, tomorrow is clear coat finish.

Also here's a pic of the first coat, which is blue.
