building a n64 portable just wondering for any ways on powering it. btw i cant find a good laptop battery though i have got an old one.....

Unless you know the type of DC-DC converter you would need, you're going to need a bunch of batteries (and different regulators if you want to be safe)

The ideal battery would be 7.4 volts, with at least 3500 mAh or more. Most laptops have at least 12 volts in them, so you would need some regulators for the screen and n64, so its easier to get the 7.4 volt, it's also a standard size battery so they are cheaper and common.

Camcorder batteries - Li-ion; work well. 7.4v or 7.2v. Or go for Li-po (and get a protection circuit).

I don't even know what I'm going to use to power my portable- I'll probably use wall/car power and add a battery later lol.

Use windmils. Or fuel cells. And a nuculear (sic) pile.

No, steam power is where it's at!

STEAM POWER?! NUCLEAR POWER! You are so unadvanced.

Over here on Lantea, we're walking around with ZPM powered N64 portables!*

That battery is only 1500mA. You should search for something around 5500-6400mA. Then, you'll need a charging port. You need to wire the positive on the charging port to the positive on the battery, then the negative on your charging port to the negative on the battery. On the psone female jack, the central lead is positive, and the sides are negative.
