This looks like it's gonna be a very comfortable portable to use! Personally, comfort would be high up on my list of priorities in creating a portable (if I'm gonna be making a piece of custom electronic work, why wouldn't I customize it so it feels good to hold?), so I'm liking how this one's looking so far.

Hope that case stays together okay, though -- I might be wrong, but I don't know how well hot glue and putty would hold it together under actual use. Unless, of course, you plan on reinforcing it with some stronger material.

Keep us posted! :D
High Temp hot glue and MIGHTY PUTTY is a hard bond to break, actually.

Though I never posted it here, I made a SNESp with the same casing method. Thats still holding up fine. ::3:

I'm really proud of myself this time around, the pictures may not show it all to well, but this is shaping up to be the best case I've ever made.

*Can'tSayThisOnTV* YEAH
WOSHIP

The case is sanded

Slight imperfection in the analog stick area, but other then that great case.

Reminds me of my Sprocket64. ;)

I'll have you know, Sprocket64 was the inspiration for my current 64p Project, the Thursty64.

:awesome:

Looks pretty sexay. :) Loving the case technique.

Well, Thursty64 would be done by now, but some problems arose.

When putting it all together, I hooked up video, controls, and everything, and the video was messed up, checked everything several hundred times, finally gave up and switched N64 boards. Video worked perfectly. Controls did not.

so I sat there, stumped, because the controller just fried itself for no plausible reason. I tried in vain to get the controller to respond, and after 2 or so hours of debunking possible causes, I gave up, desoldered all the controls, and threw the faulty board away.

I'm hopefully going to get a new one tomorrow. I know where they have one for like a buck. But its the bigger superpad, and I'm not sure it will fit ;-;


Oh well! Other than that its pretty good looking. I'll have it done soon.

Hope you get everything worked out!

Wait, it was a superpad mobo? That flax has happened to me before too! Switch mobos and the controller goes to Heck. >.>
