*** UPDATE 5 APRIL 2011 ***
geezuss i forgot to take pics of everything lol.
i finished this portable a long time ago, and it was a great learning experience. its ghetto as Heck lol.

so yeah, dont know how long it lasts yet
its only got a jumper pack in it
its wired composite
its my first portable ever
i dont like painting
im more for functionality than looks
i ran out of epoxy so it looks bleh
i know i wired the left n right c buttons backwards, its fixed now lol.
*** UPDATE 5 APRIL 2011 ***
well, everyone else has one, ill make one too i guess lol.
well so far...
PS1 Screen-Arrived, OEM
N64-in need of one, willing to trade a dreamcast, ds lite (in need of bridge fuse, psp phat, or psp for some parts
Battery-arrived, hooked up to a simple 2 pronged output for now
Case-ZN 40 and 45 arrived-using 45-cut screen hole and epoxy putty on edges
TI 3.3v reg-soldered the 100uf and 2x 1k resistors
Things in Need:
100uf cap-done
resistor for TI-done
resistors for LED mod-done
LED(x4)
Snes Controller
brightness mod screen
squishy tact switches0-in mail
n64-waiting for epicelite to send
gamebits-in mail
i kind of want to fuse the best out of what i saw in other consoles.
i want to include a d pad, and incorporate a l/r button layout like one was done on someones snes, then switch it for z/l, and make the d pad control the brightness and volume as well.
one problem i am having is sometimes the cartridges dont boot. they flash a green and black screen. making sure the contacts are firm sometimes fixes the problem. other times its just turning it on and off again. anyone else have this problem?
and...picture time!

UPDATE 11 DECEMBER 2009
/billy mays key off
i was getting tired of not having anything to do, so being board-less and controller-less
i decided to work on the case.
a little over an hour later from measuring, using the trusty dremel, and cutting with a razor i have this!
and i found a gamecube controller AND a 360 controller!
now what im going to use out of them idk...maybe the d pad and shoulder buttons?
mad props to all the frankenstein case modders out there. easier said than done

UPDATE 22 DECEMBER 2009
used putty epoxy and made the sides flush. went through a whole sheet of 100 grit getting it down
mounted the start button and the A,B,and C buttons
sized the lcd board down to fit in the case
d pad tomorrow for sure, and the analog as well if somebody would tell me the diameter hole needed for the joystick to be even
*cough *cough MICHAELTHURSTON!
anyways as soon as my game bits get here the soldering begins
pics of progress thus far vVv

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU****************************************8
my mid-terms are almost over, and i decide to work on the p64
my buttons came in, YAY
i hooked up my c's, a, b, and start.
but...
i cannot for the life of god do a cartridge slot relocation!!!!!!!! jesus f'ing christ!
ive done this twice today, and like 7 other times before, on 3 different boards!
i must not be doing something right (duhh) so i have come to the conclusion of commissioning someone to do it for me.
i could send 2 boards, 2 cartridge slots, and some wire if needed.
PLEASE SOMEONE MESSAGE ME IF YOU THINK YOUR UP TO DOING IT!
