I'm realy new at this but, I was wondering if certain features such as the slot at the bottom of the 64 that would be used for the DD could be removed and all parts for that
also does anyone have any advice on how NOT to lose small screws and things. I have low vision so anything that falls on the floor is imediatly gone (you should see my floor ) also where should I start? I already know what system I whant to portablize.
well I don't know anything about the DD, but I do know that the best way to start is just to get the system to run off batteries without taking anything else apart, then slowly add the screen and cut up the controller.
Also, an easy way to not lose screws is to get a good magnet and just let it hold all the screws for you. You can also find magnetized trays specifically for holding screws and drill bits and stuff, i think they have them at sears.
What I have shown you is reality. What you remember, that is the illusion.
"Say, what does this button do?"
All the dishes rattle in the cupboards when the elephants arrive
where can I find info in getting it to run off batteries? I checked the WIKI but I'll darned If I can see anything on that
also is there a good way to keep from damaging certain parts while doing this?
EDIT: I found the article on runing on batteries but HOW do I find the voltage?
well the wiki is still a work in progress. its still more of an 'experiment' than a reliable source at this point... were working on it.
anyways, theres a page on the wiki that says what voltages it needs, and also at least twopages describing different ways to do it.
also, you could try searching the forums, all the basic questions have already been asked multiple times.
(someone once had a graphic of exactly how to use the search function... does anyone have it /remember where it was.... i think i want to put it on the wiki. because it is actually a little confusing.)
anyways, you have to select "search for all terms" or else it returns garbage most of the time.

I'm kinda cheap, so I tend to take a different approach: use tape to hold screws. Put it face-up and put the screws on the tape so that a considerable amount of the surface area is stuck to the tape. If you're using true flat-head screws (the heads look like little cones), it is best to put the heads on the tape and have the threads sticking up like tree trunks. When taking apart small devices (such as a camera or an MP3 player), use cellophane packing tape, so you can see the screws. If you are working on something with more visible screws, I recommend duct tape, since it sticks better to screws. Use tweezers to remove the screws from the tape. The other advantage I see in using my method is that you can lay screws out in a translation of their original positions, which can help you in putting them back. Of course, this is only good for temporary purposes, but when I fixed my camera, it worked very well.
just find something to put the screws in. and the guide on my site isn't done, i havn't had much time to work on it lately. i'll hopefully finish it before too long
When I was in Grade 5 me and my friend were going to take apart my friends SNES. We did the controller first, and put all the screws and membranes in a coffee cup. This worked well for when we put it back together. Unfourtanatley, we didn't get to open the SNES because of those damn Nintendo Screws. Oh well, I say use a coffee cup for holding screws. (or something simalair)
I'd imagine right now you wish you were a cuttlefish...
) also where should I start? I already know what system I whant to portablize. 
. you can also get to the original version from my site (daguuy.tk)
I can understand everything else though
