I have been lurking this board for a few days now and I have decided to build myself a n64 portable for a school project.
I have aimed so high for this school project because I have recently changed schools and the people are amazingly advanced compared to the people of my old one. I intend to show them my skills.
I intend to do by the means of the creativity class my school runs, known as LFL classes (learning for life
) in which for two terms everybody works on extravigant projects for a a day of display in which teachers, students and parents move through the library where they are all on display out and vote for the best.The bar has been set pretty high. People have done things in previous year things like make snowboards, smith metal medieval armour, create fanastic animations and somebody even made themselves a king sized bed from scratch, Just to name a few.
I probably wouldn't try something this difficult if i hadn't previously had experience with stuff like this when i built my mame arcade machine.
Now I have some q's
1: I have checked out ebay and found this screen ( I won't give out the link as it still has 2 days left and no bidders, i intend to be the only one
)It looks like this:
the description is a follows-
make: Teac
Screen size- 5"
typ: LCD
resolution: 168,246 DOTS
sound: BUILT-IN SPEAKER
volume up/down
a/v input output
DC 12V INPUT
180X145X48 (mm)
Does this sound good to you guys? i noticed it takes 12v, will that be a problem?
i would hate to get a peice of crap as i am really strapped for cash after buying the art for the arcade machine.
2- my school has a cnc mill and i was hoping to be able to cut out a mold and vacuum mold it to make the case but they don't have a vacuum molder anymore. is there any way to make a good case with just the cnc?
