How heavy is your N64p?

Just curious, for those people who have make an N64p device, how heavy is yours and what were the final dimensions of the portable?

It varies greatly. I am still working on my SS64 which is pretty pathetic since I have been working on it since the start of summer. I still have to get a soldering station and get to work. I haven't even been on here recently but I have been working. Sorry about all the irrelevent info, I just felt like typing it. Basically s N64p can't be that small or lightweight unless you hack the whole board and very few of us want to do that.

Indeed, it can't be that small or lightweight given the components of the project required. I was asking the question to compare other members systems to mine (although so far no-one has replied), purely out of interest.

Read their N64p progress logs, journals or whatever you want to call them. I had figured up the dimensions of what my portable was going ot be but I haven't worked on it in a while so I forgot, if I can find them I will give them to you but since it isn't completed and is just a WIP I guess it isn't really an ideal thing to compare it to.

Lightness or heaviness depends solely on your batteries or the case you choose. I haven't weighed mine, but the batteries make all the difference.

Yes, batteries can weigh a lot.

What are the lightest batteries (brand, model, protection circuits, etc) suitable for long playtime on an N64, and how long do they give? Cheaper the better too!

I forgot, but it was either li-poly or li-ion

edit: li-poly

Li-poly are a lot more powerful, not sure about weight.

Li-poly's are mostly used in laptops and other bigger electronics, Li-ions are mostly in the smaller things like cell phones.

you people are getting worse and worse at answering questions directly.

mine isnt done yet, and the batteries arent installed yet, but, based on my own estimation (ie.... picking it up and thinking about it for a bit), id say im weighing in at around 2 or 3 pounds.

Li-poly batteries will be the lightest.

the L64 was about 3 pounds IIRC.
