First, accept that if something does get fried, it is your fault.
Then tell her it'll be worth 4 times as much as it costs to make.

All I can say is.. good luck with that. Your mom probably has no clue what you're talking about, once you make a portable on your dime she might have a second thought, but don't count on it. The best I can recommend is getting a job.

show her that you know what your doing, my mom is stupid like that to, she wont let me make one, but i dont have the money. or you can do what i am going to do, buy all the stuff, tell your mom you borrowed a friend some money, and tell her that your doing it when your half way done

or i can tell her it's for the science fair

Heh, sucker

. My dad funded my first portable because it was an educational experience. Try playing that card. My second one I am having to chip in some money, but only for games to play on the system; it's for the science fair, so since it's school related, I don't have to pay for it either!
Also, explain to her that the term "fried" doesn't mean burst up in flames or start a fire; well, unless you're just a crappy portablizer!

i meant break it or somethin like that

Oh. Well, the odds of frying a portable are very low, unless you are using a cheap NOAC like the Super Joy or Mega Joy. What exactly would you be portablizing, anyways?

EDIT: I thought of a better title. Use this: "How can I convince my mom I can make a portable?"

How is your mom stupid for not paying for everything you want? Cut some grass and pay for it yourself.

Wow, quite ambitious for a first. However, I can't say anything against it, though, seeing as Harshboy did a GCp as his first, and plenty of people have done N64p's as their first. Just keep in mind, it will be hard. Also, the N64 is really easy to fry, so be careful!
