So I'll order those bateries right away and have this sucker finished in no time!
It never works out that way.

Re: Sprocket64 Worklog. Copper Sheet Heatsink!
Should be fine to charge them at the same time, but I don't see why you can't do them separately.

yeah, just wire them in parallel...
I'm just not sure, since the charger is only meant to charge one battery at once, if it will be OK to charge both at the same time.
Re: Sprocket64 Worklog. Copper Sheet Heatsink!
The charger puts out 8.4v at 600mA.
So I wired up the 3.3v regulator and charged the batteries and trimmed the N64 board and jumper pack. I haven't tested the batteries yet, but the N64 and regulator work great. I trimmed the board a lot and made the jumper pack really small.
Comparison to regular board:
You can see the jumper pack here:
You know those two capacitors near the top, where the power connector was? I relocated them here:
They probably aren't needed, but I put them there anyway. I'm also thinking of a completely different case idea - making it portrait style and taking off about a half-inch. I've got the plastic to do it, so we'll see...

That means my heatsink should be quite adequate in open air. I don't know how it might be crammed in a small case. I'll have to do tests.
I found a picture on page 2 of my copper RAM riser.
I'll update this really soon. I'm ditching my old case idea and am making a new one. Pics later today!
The heatsink gets pretty hot, but I'm not sure if the N64 will crash or not, since it is running at 3.1v instead of 3.05v. Daftmike did tests in open air without heatsinks on his N64. He set up 8 bots on Perfect Dark and it ran for (IIRC) 4+ hours without crashing. It was undervolted to 3.05v.βeta said:
