that n64 case was a good idea of mine wasn't it hey ben you think you'll sell some if you make an n64p.

Thats a nice idea, but I am already vacuum-forming a case for my MDp, plus I probably can't afford those (but my mum promised me the book!) P.S: Will your book be on sale at waterstones? Its the only good bookshop where I live in the U.K.

Well, my N64 portable is all designed and ready to be routed. I'm sad it's gonna be next Friday before I get to do it!, but other things come first!

I'm already thinking it'd be a great CNC project for a book (Yes, I know, counting chickens before they hatch and all) It's a pretty slick design if I don't say so myself.

And it has NO D-pad or "R" shoulder button. Granted, a book version would need those, but it wouldn't be hard to add them on.

I think I may actually rout TWO sets of parts for it... because I am thinking about giving them LINK abilities! (cue Bond music) Only thing is this is pretty useless until 1 person (or friends) buy both of them.

Also I am going to re-wire up the expansion pack, cuz an N64 portable that can't play Perfect Dark is like a fridge that won't hold MGD - WORTHLESS!

I hope you mean "L" button and not the "R" button

Also, as far as a system link go I'd recommend a dsub-9 connector with these things on it.
Audio left
Audio right
Composite Video
Player 2 Data
Player 3 Data
Player 4 Data
Ground
5 Volts
Controller power (3.3V I think)

I'd say that a larger dsub link could hold more things, like battery linking and rgb, but those aren't needed (although battery linking for longer life is pretty neat)

I think link standards would be a pretty cool thing to put up on Doomportables or something, then if we ever meet we could just hook up the portables

Bummer, no mortal kombat

It will still be sweet though!

I think gannons got the right idea for the link connector (beat me to it)

As for cases I might buy a couple but I dont have much money so they would have to be fairly cheap, like under $50 for me to justify buying one.

sorry not logging in there

Well, I think it is a great idea. And the price is right also.
I have already purchased some of Ben's Cases.
He sold me a SNES case and a PSone case.

I must say that it is well worth the money. The decals especialy finish the projects off and make them look very profesional.

thanks again Ben.
