Well, My as of yet unnamed portable is comign to life. Ive been working for about a week or 2 now, and I have completed the dc-dc 3.3v regulator (put it on a bit of breadboard) and also had my friend put together a setup for an adjustable regulator to give out 8v ( I couldnt find a 7808.) for a PSone screen.

I rewired each button on the controller, extended the wires on the joystick, and added a new Dpad with tact switches.

Today, I spent about 3-4 hours working on the case, which is the shell of a SNES that I have gutted.

Picture time!

EDIT! The N64 board in the back is one I fried a lonnnng time ago trying to overclock. Im just using it to tell how everything will fit. the n64 I will use is still intact at the moment.

Hehe, thanks.

Actually, I was originally gonna do a SNES portable, but during the cart slot relocation I think I fried it, cuz afterwards it wouldnt work. I never really looked into it.

But yea, Gonna use the shell now

Is that black paint? Or did you fry it so bad it charred the case? Either way, srry for your losses

Ok, so I LED modded my screen today (That arrived yesterday, THANKYOU machina28!!!) And cut the hole in the case for it.

I wired it to the n64, and the power. It all worked!! Im just about done, just waiting on my cart slot relocation stuffs ( headers, etc. ) to come.

Pix tommorow!
