First Project

Um... I was wanting to modify a Nintendo 64 so i could play on the go, like in cars, public transport etc, and i was wondering if anyone would help me on my idea. I was hoping to keep the external controllers (the Nintendo 64 controller plugs) so i could play multiplayer, but my main concern was how to rig up the screen and to make the N64 Battery Operated and if anyone recommended a whatever volt battery (im no electronical genius) so if there are any guides that there are that could help, or if you have the know how, can you lend a hand?
Sorry if i sound like im a noob. All the other sites require credit cards to get into the forums. And this Ben Heckerdorn dude sounds pretty cool, my favourite project of his the Wii Laptop.

Thanks!

Frikking Bo-lawg-nah!

Search!

Buy a 7.2v 3300mah NIMH rechargable battery(at your local radio shack, or batteryspace.com)
w/ a 3.3v TI converter for the 3.3v line(ti.com, part no:pth08080)
wire up the pth08080 like this:

then connect ground from the battery to the n64 adn connect the 3.3v out line to the cooresponding pins on the motherboard, and the 7.2v line to the 12v pin on the n64. You can find these by looking at the diagram on your n64 ac adapter. Put a switch on your ground line, because I told you to. I dont feel like explaining how to do it the other way around. then hook up pins(on the n64) 10 to composite in(pin 1 slot 2 on the psoscreen), 11 to L audio(pin 2 slot 2 on the psone screen) and pin 12 to right audio(pin 3 slot 2 on the psone screen) Connect ground(large metal strips on the side of the n64) to [(pin 4 slot 2)/(pin 2 slot 1) on the psone screen] Now, connect the 7.2v wire from your battery to pin 1 slot 1 of the psone screen and connect ground through a switch to (pin 2 slot 1)/(pin 4 slot 2)

thats how to wire it up. in text.
Anyone feel like busting thier ass to make a specific diagram for this person?

Now that you've done that connect the 7.2v line on your battery to the ground wire of your batter and hold it there till the battery explodes in your face for making me type all this with a full bladder.
