Simple 64

[Basement_Modder]

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

Well, a 'simple' N64p is VERY easy with some experience, but that usually entails no multiplayer, no A/V out, jumper pak, and a PSone screen stock/ a 3.5" with an LM386. This, however, has a ton of features, yet is dubbed 'simple,' which makes it badass. My QUAD 64 was SUPPOSED to be simple, but now is just worthless since bentomo has redefined simple.

I got a lot of stuff done yesterday, buttons mostly installed, ports installed, screen installed.

I just need to put the consolde in, get a couple parts, wire up a new audio amp and low led circuit, then final wiring of the system.

buying:
orange led
potentiometer
thermal adhesive (I don't feel like gluing down heatsinks)

OH, and assemble the lob 3 and 4 player box for more players, that's not really necessary yet.

Ordering thermal adhesive tonight, and final wiring will commence soon. also got a pic of the audio amp.

So what do you do when you're out of pc board and don't want to run right back to radio shack.

DON'T USE ANY, THAT'S WHAT!

That's what I like to do.

I do that too. I don't have a picture on hand, though. I'm sure I could get one.

I've got this thing almost finished, the back half just needs the cartridge slot wired and connected to the modified lob64 port, however I've run into this snag, I can't get the memory pak slot working, no matter how many times I wire it, it won't work.

It's almost done though, all I have left to do other than the memory pak is adjust the low battery led on the front.

... I think there's such a thing as being too hardcore... and I think making your own perfboard is it.

Ugh, I'm so close to being done, I wired up the cartridge slot, not working though, I think the wires are too long, nearly 7 inches, I'm going to shorten them up as much as I can then wire to the n64. Looking nice so far though.

It's finally done. Not too happy with the final product but a portable is a portable.

I CAN MOVE ON TO GAMECUBE!
