Expansion Pack

N64 Lover · Post by **N64 Lover** » Tue May 03, 2005 12:20 pm

Can Anyone suggest how I would encorporate an expansion pack into an N64p and where I could find one?

Also, I am considering Making one of these(mainly so I can Play Conkers BFD in the Car,considering nintendo have only released about 12 games IN TOTAL for the DS).

My question Is, how would I go about making one and what parts should I be Especially Careful With?

You'd like to make an expansion pack or do you mean going about incorporating one into the n64p?

On balance, I think he means the latter.

be careful with the motherboard. i heard it fries easily. to get rid of static, touch something that's grounded every now and then.

And use a grounding wrist strap to prevent static buildup. (seriously, one kid at school told me not to work on a PC mobo without putting it on a sheet of tinfoil! hmmm. can anyone say "fried boards?"

)

i assume "one" is an n64p. anyway, here's some how-to's: http://saoghal.cywh.com/N64m_Pictures/n64m.html and http://www27.brinkster.com/ninja13/n64/ portables of doom is also pretty useful http://doomportables.freeserverhost.net/ there's also a sticky about screen stuff in the screen forum. you should also read the thing about ben's n64p, you might get some useful stuff from it.

i would hope ben makes a how to or something, simply because of the fact that he did a really good job at slimming his down. I've seen some great ones online though too.

Yeah...I wish Ben would release a more detailed how to with his guides because,while they are quite funny, It would help more if he maybe gave you circuit Diagrams and very detailed ways of making it...

Of course I wouldn't BUILD an expansion pack...I was talking about buying a europeon one...I would say it will be hard to get though

These are a lot of great answers.....
The reason I have asked these Questions is because I will have a lot of free time over the summer and I hope to build an N64p and Hopefully my own computer(I will make it a top of the range one..I am researching it right now)

Thanks for your help guys, any more building tips/Suggestions/Precautions?

EDIT: Having looked further into the forums,I am glad I joined other forums because I knew to pool my questions to save Ben's Bandwith......YAY ME!!!!
