I found this pic on the NESp site; about the N64p. Whats that thing in the bottom left corner. BTW, im using the same screen as on the pic.

those are a couple of car adapters, I believe....used to supply the 3.3V for the N64

(though those probably only ouput 3V)

They are car DC-DC converters from Radio Shack, one is a 3V converter, and the other is whatever voltage the screen needs. It's not a good way to power the N64 though, it needs 3.3v not 3V.

It is a portable (once it's in the case)

Wrong, they're 2 3V converters wired in parallel to give the needed amps (they only give 1Amp each)

No but I can say what they are, the biggest thing to the left is the Nintendo 64 motherboard (It still has the controller plugs down there), to the left it's the screen and to the lower left are the car adapaters.

man the 64 looks like one confusing thing to power off of batteries. I've been thinking of doing a 64, but the whole power thing(and multiple fried boards) have been putting me off(the power issue more than the fried boards).

the power's actually pretty simple. just get a regulator and a battery at least 7.2v and it's done

serious, thats good because I have another 7.2 volt battery left over form my SNESp(3300mAh). Any indication on the length that'd get me(with modded PS1 screen)

according to some maybe not very accurate current ratings i found, it should be around 1.5 hours

THAT SCREEN IS TOTAL CRAp. It consumes 12VDC just to run, and you CANNOT modify it.
