This conversation might as well go like this:
Poster: 'hey guys and benheck i want to make a portablilyy n64 and i want to overclock it by 1337% and i want to add some good 1gb ram sticks to it to make it play games WAAY better. then i'm going to slpti the board into 1/1337s so it will be super frickin small and i can stick it inside a cell phone. thhen im gonna make my own lcd screez out of dish detergent!!!1 rouldn;t that be the awesome! r0z0r5!?
Some smarter guy: 'Uhh, dude that's totally impossible.'
Poster: 'shuddup, i know i can do it! a friend told me i could!!! my frienzd nows everyting!!'
See my point? It may be harsh and exagerating, but seriously...

I'd imagine right now you wish you were a cuttlefish...

milenium you gotta do some more searching and you have to show some more respect to these members, all of them who tried to help you out know what they are talking about especially codeman who was just giving you the truth and some good advice, so dont give people so much crap and they will do their best to help you out if the info is not already in the sticky
aww...thanks Turbo Tax, haha. Man, I didn't mean to turn everyone against him, I just couldn't stand the responses he was giving to anyone who tried to help him, I guess I should apologize for blowing it out of proportion, but I couldn't resist.
What I have shown you is reality. What you remember, that is the illusion.

Are you retarded or something? PM Marshallh because you obviously don't want to hear what other members have to say.meleniumshane90 wrote: Then later, "Please give the plastic product you (Marshall) purchased. You (Marshall)got my attention with your turnout on the L64. I know you used styrene, but what kind? Also, what did you heat it with and how?
I will do this, I do have a shopvac! What Vac did you use?" This is all of course to Marshall, the creator of the L64.
Simply put, when you no not what you speak, do not speak.

This guy really reminds me of when I was six (I told you! Storks transport babies from heaven!
...good times). OK, to help this sap out. Before so, excrement excrement excrement.
1. Splitting the Gameboy case is a very unwise idea. Many plastics will not adhere to the material...I know, I've tried to bondo something together for my Genesisp, not pretty. Also, it's appearance will be fugly, that's right, fugly!
2. Read the L64 thread, it answers some questions, like what plastic he used, I think it was polysterene or sterene. Refresh my memory.
3. Alas when I began this hobby, I thought 9V. batteries have a lot of power. I was right, but they have, MIGHTY low mA/h (milliamps per hour), meaning the life will be sucked out of those things faster than the demise of Drew Carey's career (which was fast to begin with). You'd have to wire a plethora of those in parallel to get enough mA/h to get substantial life out of them, also, I don't think (as the brilliant codeman said) 7-21 9V. batteries will fit in the battery compartment
4. The pseudo-12V. line doesn't require 12 V. to run, may I recommend the holy...7.2 V (or 9.6 V) RC CAR BATTERY. This thing is full of power (and mA) and is interchangable with the female connectors being able to be connected to anywhere (I modded half my room to run off of RC car batteries
). Use the diagram on (another brilliant portabalizer) Skyone's site to power the VERY sensitive 3.3 V. line.
5. FOR THE SAKE OF LUCRETIUS, DON'T SPLICE THE MOTHERBOARD. The system has multiple layers of traces under that PCB. You can't see them but they're there. Schematics won't help, From experience, EVERYTHING except for the grounding strip has traces going in and out of it. All you could barely do is splice the grounding strips off. OK, don't cut anything else off, and by cut I mean as in sawing and/or splicing off, it's VERY sensitive, prown to frying from the smallest showing of positive energy (StaTic ShoCk!), and the hardware hides traces from your/our feeble mind(s). OK, so don't splice much.
6. LED mod can be done fairly easily...wire led's up inside the LCD (replacing the cathode tube) where you solder input voltage into the output on one of the 7805's found on the PSONE screen's motherboard. Then wire ground accordingly, of course, before the input of the voltage, don't forget to bridge that with a resistor...OK!
7. Good Luck! I just gave you the basics of making the N64p...Search around, and be a bit more respectful, I doubt you know a lot of this stuff, saying it non-offensively of course, but let the veterans help you (I'm considered .25 veteran, but the information to my knowledge is pretty accurate). So again, good luck, this is one of the most hardest portables to make, mostly because of the fact it fries EASILY.
P.S.- Buy anti-static wrist straps in case
Again, good luck...may G-Force and Lucretius and Marshallh be with you!
Now for total excrement excrement excrement excrement excrement excrement excrement
Whooo long post, you owe me for typing all that
, just kidding

hahaha, that's hilarious. I'm kind of disappointed though, I don't get a sword?XFactor wrote:I'm sorry codeman but you'd be incorrect; your ability to own noobs and eat their souls deserves no apologies in this forum. It is welcomed entertainment; it's kind of like gladiator except you're using a high voltage battery to shock noobs instead of a sword.
:lol:....
and demonofaj, thanks for the compliment, but iam7805 is the one who told him how many he'd need, I just showed him how he got that answer.
Maybe I should finish a portable before putting others down
