T-Berg's Mammoth64 Worklog

[T-Berg]

Been working on a new portable for some time. Sizewise it is a big one.

-7" Wide screen
-Dual 7.2 volt 3600mah batteries
-Pal version
-Expansion pak
-Video and sound out
-Rumble and memory pak compability
-Rechargable while playing
-230v compability

I have already come a long way. Pics will be up soon.

Sounds epic!

 

[McBlasian]

Sounds awesome. Any particular reason for PAL? And what does the 230v compatibility do?

 

[ToastBucket]

Sounds awesome. Any particular reason for PAL? And what does the 230v compatibility do?

PAL because i believe he lives in Europe. 230v allows direct AC current to be hooked up. Built in PSU.

Awesome. I live in Aust. so I use PAL too.
Are there any advantages to allowing direct AC current? And what does PSU stand for? I'm learning all about this, slowly, but efficiently.

230v is the AC standard in PAL regions, and 120v is AC standard in North America.(Not sure about asia). PSU stands for power supply(I think, it's close enough anyways).

Wow I didn't know that! Great info for when I start my n64p!
Would PSU stand for Power Supply Unit maybe?

And thanks for elaborating Mako and Toast.

Power Supply

Power Supply

Haha ok. What's the point of the "U" then? Does PS stand for something else?

 

[ShockSlayer]

Power Supply

^Wrong, snowpenguin mistake.

Would PSU stand for Power Supply Unit maybe?

^Right, good guess.

Awesome! Thanks for the clarification SS. And any updates T-Berg? Sounds like an awesome portable so far!

Here is some pics of the progress. It looks like crap now but i will chop and sand the flax out of it. It wont be this big when finished.
I will also give it some curves.

 

[βeta]

What the *Can'tSayThisOnTV* is that flax.

 

[bud]

The start button is going to be uncomfortably low.

 

[Blurt]

Its beautiful. Reminds me of cake.

 

[Basement_Modder]

Remember to flush when you're done.

nah, for a 7" N64p with an integrated PSU, it's alright. I like your wife's better, though.

edit- WTF happened to the "press" in "press start"?

 

[J.D]

That looks like Shockslayer's first N64 portable took a crap, lol.

Ah well, it'll be good when finished.

 

[zeturi]

Can I guess? Is that spackling paste?

 

[T-Berg]

That is super epoxy paste. Its exactly the same comments as when i started making the cloud64. Im used to it now.

 

[zeturi]

No, I have complete confidence since I've seen the cloud64. It's just that... I would not be man enough to post such early progress pics.
