Death to L! And the dpad!

I'm designing a unique plug design for that for later.

And WHAT, may I ask, is that blue thing on your ceiling? Have you been holding out on us? Have you discovered a new source of lighting your basement?
We dont have basements in SC....

I'm going to dig my own this summer!

You realize he was making a joke about not being familiar with the outdoors, right?

Anyway...
Way to go on another N64p! Super speedy build time for a portable, too - won't be long until you'll be our resident N64 expert if you crank them out at this rate.

I need to hurry up so that you don't beat me to the "portablizer extraordinaire" title

You wish! I'm going to beat you both!

Naw, this SNESp will be the last portable for a while. A project put on Hack-a-day has been my goal for awhile, and portables won't cut it anymore. Metroid WiiCannon for the win!

(Let's just hope I'll finish it by Metroid's release!)

Awesome. What mine will be...in a few years...

I plan to be an n64 expert. I'm planning another one for this summer. Vac formed sounds nice. For some odd reason, the controller stopped working. Its wired directly to the port....

Should I sell this for $200 USD?

Only after you get the case looking spiffy.

I'm going to make labels!

Is it a good starting price?

That sounds fair to me.
Good job.

I couldn't kill L and the D-Pad since my favourite N64 game relies on it. That would sadly mean me not buying your S64 either, not that I would (no offence, I just don't want an N64)

Wait, so that means... he shouldn't listen to you at all?

It's a good start, and an improvement over your last one. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Learn to use bondo. Once you get that down, try cutting some wood panels to give the case some curves. Curves are good. Straight edges aren't.

2. Let off on the hot glue. Yes, it is great stuff, but when you use too much of it, just wait til a hot day and your portable melts apart. Use metal mounting brackets and screws. If you must, use wood or plastic supports along with hot glue. If you can see the hot glue in the inside, you're using too much.

3. See if you can get a file set and a drill press. You can get nice button holes by drilling a small pilot hole and then slowly filing the hole bigger.
