Heres my main idea:
it will be different then the other portables because I decided to omit the onboard controller. My initial plan started out by just doing a frankenstein case with only the N64 in it. I got the the point of making the N64 run off of batteries when I thought of somthing. No matter what, the controls will be different then the real thing. Even those nice vacuume formed ones could not replicate the out-there trident shape of the N64 contoller. and on top of that, I was going to use a square fishing box! I then decided that I would omit the controller and just plug in one of the standard balkey ones. Now this may seem like its defeating the purpose of the portable but i thought about it and found out that the only time I would want to use this would be for an extended period of time and if I was going to play for 2+ hours, I would take the controller with me anyway and not struggle with the onboard one! So... the onboard controller is out of the picture. But as i was finishing the project, i saw that there was a huge amount of space in already small container. I had underestimated the size of the motherboard but was still ok with the size of the box (about the size of a small laptop except thicker). So I thought, "A whole nother' motherboard could fit in there!". So out of that, came the idea of putting a SNES in there to keep it company. Also, In this endevore, I am never giving up the objective of keeping any of my portables able to be used as it was intended, meaing that removing AV outputs, any controller ports and other standerd interfaces are not going to happen. (I actually had a hard time giving up the N64's bulcky power supply, but gave in when I could find no way of hooking it up without distroying the whole side of the case
) The other portables like Ben Heck's look cool as hell but removing the other controller ports kills it. ( the real fun of the N64 was playing Super Smash Bros with 4 other people and beating each other up ) Plan:
The box will be a square one (cause controller comfort dosent matter anymore
) with nothing on it except the screen on top with the standerd switches plus extra ones needed for the duel console support. The N64 motherboard will be on bottom and the N64 and the SNES console slots will be both relocated to the back in the "sliding down the back format". The N64's expansion slot will be permentally occupied by a expansion card with the plastic removed (expansion slot relocation will be preformed if nessisary) I will have both consoles wired to one 9.6 volt, 1800 miliamp power supply (a power distribution switch will be needed to switch from the SNES to the N64) Im thinking of having only one fan blowing in between the two consoles to cool both of them plus it will be cooling the N64's chips which is what it is most needed for. The screen will be wired to both consoles as only one will be on at a time so no switching is nessisary. The original AV output slot of only one console will be acessible(most likely the N64) and the SNES AV connections will be wired to the N64 AV slot ( I dont know if this is possible but i heard that the N64 and SNES AV Outputs were interchangible, if not, ill just have two plugins in the back.) The controller ports of both consoles will stay put as I, and others, need them to play. So, the N64's 4 ports will be on bottom while the SNES's two ports will be on top of it. So the box will actually look very clean and uncluttered because only switches and a screen will be on top along with the speaker holes and the two game slots in the back.Are there any noticible problems with this setup?
just out of curiosity
