The N64 Advance

Post by **Gamelver** » Wed Sep 10, 2008 4:20 pm

Don't worry everyone, I'll be taking a bunch of pics and updating info and stuff.
For now (since I don't have a camera) here's a picture of where I cut on the mobo (roughly):

(original pic lovingly ripped from mlcurly's thread. Thanks mlcurly!)

You are going to solder to the TINY cart slot traces!

That looks like my cut up board, except for that cart slot craziness. Mine is only cut down to the top of the slot pins...

Well, I think you win.

I have a WIP N64 in a GG, that means I have the thinnest N64p.

Offtopic, Gordon01: Why the sig making fun of me? Is it in jest, made because it was funny? Or do you (Probably rightly so) loathe me? Just curious, I am guessing it is the latter.

ditto.

Although, seeing the crazy soldering that techknot did fixing the cable for his GC, why not?.

And if you're doing that, gamelver, then why not cut it down further?

If I cut any more I'm cutting off the traces between the parts on the mobo

. This is about as small as you can get, though I actually could have cut it a slight bit more....again, I'll post pics of the mobo when I can (when I get a camera

)

Exactly, just reconnect the traces with wire. it won't look as neat, but you could get the width and height down a bit more.

DO IT!

yeah, but at this point it's not really necessary. The way I've designed the case the mobo could actually be slightly larger and it'd still fit everything, though it'd be harder of course

. I might cut it down a bit further (mainly down where the LED is, there are only two traces that would need to be connected)...again, doesn't really matter, but if I have to I will.

Go ahead and make your claims. You have proved nothing.

Why is it making fun of you? well lets back up a month or so and think about the fact that you had a post in almost every thread. Your better now though.

Although, with a silly statement line the n64 in a GG the signature stays. Also, I have provided sufficient evidence that mine will work.

So what do I have to do to PROVE it will work?

*sigh*, it looks like I'm going to have to use that 3.5" screen....there just aren't any decently priced 4" screens

! I was looking at my Nomad screen, though, and 3.5" would be adequate....though not ideal

The first one looks too fat, and the second one is widescreen

...I might get the fat one, though, it is pretty cheap
