ah...i forgot about the mac emulator-I was sure I,d heard it before somewhere.So will now have to think of a new name for it.βeta said:
yeh so I,ll sign up to the image hosting website tonight, and upload the pics tommorow.
so heres the specs I've dicided on:
1)case-200mm by 120mm by 36mm(thickest point(excluding cartridge slot))
2)4 pal n64's
3)psone screen
4)3rd party controller
5)batteries-2 3.7v lipos(not sure where the best place to buy them, because I live in the uk)
basically everything after the psone screen I've yet to buy.
This will be my first project.
I also saw sifufs portable and his D-pad which controlled the screen-I'd like to feature that in my portable.

so thats the mould-untrimmed+unsanded
-joystick goes top left, B+A go top right, c buttons go bottom right and D-pad goes bottom left.
I made 2 vac formed cases from this one blue and one red-I will be using the red one.
cant upload any more pics now but will get you the blue one later( red ones all cut up)

I've heard that before by my friend, it does'nt look like that when I cut the buttons out though.Argelfraster said:Looks really cool.

normally on these on these forums I've seen that people are amazing at the electronics side and the soldering side of portabalising, but it appears I'm the opposite, I absolutely suck at it so your going to have to help me through it.

Yeah im good at the electronics part.
My cases aren't hand made, so i guess im also good at the case part

βeta said:Particle board for vacuum forming molds, ingenious!
I did'nt think it was ingenious-it was just what was the best to get it cut out out the fastest on the CAD machine at college.
The case that formed looks super pofessional, so it was'nt wasted effort not to just get a ZN whatever case.
so this is it: 2mm thermoplastic(not styrene, can't remember the name now)
hope you like it!

The only reason i added the circular parts is because the joystick would'nt fit in without it.
I'm sort of going for a more symplistic look rather than making it two tone.
seriously, vac forming is so easy, theres really no excuse for people to be making custom cases.
I just saw bentomos n64 case shell and thats awesome, and his case technique was even easier to do, albeit a little time consuming.

I for one don't much care for the look of vacuum formed cases. And I prefer a case that I can screw together. Makes it much more secure. There really isn't any way to hold a vacuum formed case together very well. And no hot glue isn't considered to be a good way to hold a case together and neither is black duct tape.

That's not true! You can put screwposts in a vacuformed case; the black duct tape is to cover up the fact that it fits together poorly. I don't mind vacuformed cases; they look really great, but too flimsy for my tastes. Also, I'm too cheap to build a vacuform table. Like I said, really love the look, but would not use one myself. You could build a case but I would never be able to build one that looks good.
Right now on the YAP64 I'm modifying the existing Wii screen frame-case thingy. I would not do it again. It is not built in two halves; it fits together in a really stange way. It also requires sides to be put in, and mine don't seem to fit because I suck at building. Next time I would use a premade case/frankencase. Premade cases are easy to work with, usually durable, and can look very professional (but not creative). Frankencasing is cool but I don't really have that much to work with. Need a cool sort of case.
Next project after (or simultanous with) YAP64/2 will be a GOAC-with-SD in a computer game case (like a DVD case but 2-3 times thicker).
