N64 Liuhu Edition

[Liuhuparta]

Yeah, the buttons are in their holes. It took more than five hours to get the front piece to that condition. I bought white plastic so I don't need to paint it. I like white.

E: I just tried to cram everything inside the case and it will be very tight in there. Looks bad because of the thumb stick and the batteries. Hopefully I come up with a solution for that.

I love it!

I think this battery will work for you http://cgi.ebay.com.au/New-Battery-for- ... .m63.l1177 it ships to Finland and its English

Thanks, but I don't need batteries anymore.

What are the total dimensions now?

Let's see.

Width 23,0 cm
Height 13,8 cm excluding shoulder buttons
Thickness 5,8 cm excluding buttons



I sanded a bit more of the edges of the case and made that little metal support for cart connector. It must be able to stand a lot of stress when switching the game. I also drilled the hole for charging plug. You can see it above the drill bit in the picture.



Once again I change the name of the beast. This time for good. Bacteria will print me nice logo which I stick between the speaker holes.

Very nice job, definitely good work!

I just have to ask:
Where did you get the name Liuhu? I know it's from your user name, but does it mean something?

Awesome job there I really like the clean case design.
Oh and BTW I posted batterys because I only read your first post.

This is very hard to explain but I'll give it a try. Liuhuparta is a nomination for one person in one book. Parta is finnish word and means beard (which I don't have :P) and liuhu really isn't a real word, but it means "swing" or something close to that.

Simply put Liuhuparta is my nickname and Liuhu is that for short.

Hey, I'm not dead. I just didn't have the motivation at all, but now I'm back.

The beast is almost ready, but now I encountered another freaky problem. The B and C up don't work for some odd reason. The voltage is only about 1 on both of those as it should be 3,3. Other buttons work like usual and it's driving me nuts. Have anyone countered anything similiar? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've never encountered the button problem you're having, but I did have something similar to your joystick problem. You don't have an oscilloscope available to you by any chance do you? The problem I had was there was a lot of noise on the joystick lines because my switching regulator was in very close proximity to my controller board. So mario would twitch because of random false readings. You might be able to fix the problem by putting very small capacitors from the middle of the potentiometer pins to ground. By small I mean something in the range of 500 pico-farads (pF) to 1000 pico-farads. That cleaned up the noise enough for me, maybe it'll work for you?

[Liuhuparta]

I tried to change some capasitors onthe controller board and add one as codeman suggested without any success. This is looking really bad and the only solution I can come up with right now is a new controller board. I'm starting to hate this project more as days pass by.

My next modding project will be some easy and small thing with a lot of space to mess around. It's annoying to try to fit everything to ass small package as possible.

Any more tips and tricks?

you could sell what you have done so far to me and I will finish it

[Liuhuparta]

I'm pretty positive that the circuit of the controller is broken a bit. Because of that, my upcoming army and couple of other things I'm putting this on hold for some time. Don't be afraid though — I will finish this, but probably after army.

I are sorry.

You have an army? Are you going to take over the world? Will you kill me if I inform my superiors?

That's sad that you won't get it finished soon. It was going so good!
