Need helping making nintendo 64 portable

[Designer noob]

I was wondering is there a guide on how to make a Nintendo 64 portable. Also, a designer layout and stuff. This is mostly for learning purposes. I want to learn as much as I can. If any one as any links that will help me in making the whole Nintendo 64 portable with ease would be greatly appreciated

I've got experience. I need say no more.

I have no experience with this stuff, but I have lots of time. My budget on this I hope not to be more than 250-300 something.
The problem I see hardest making a nice box that looks cool. The one down in the link would be something I would want. Something that is small and you can add more controllers for multiplayer.

is that case in the picture a console for a certain system? I was wondering if I could buy it. That case looks so cool and perfect almost to perfect to be made by hands.

Actually a forum member made that, but you know he did say that he might make them and sell them to other members. I suppose he would be willing to sell you one.

His name is marshhall, I think. I forget how to spell it but I know its sounds like marshall. I just know he'll show up and correct me as soon as I post this. lol

I never said I'd make more I just said I'd re-form one case to repair the one L64 that is still floating around.

The one on the left is a N64, the right is an Atari 2600.

designer noob, the only help you need is making the innards. that's the one thing in all portables that you need to copy.
the case design should be unique. you need to make the case the way you want it to look. if you just buy one or copy one then it wouldn't be that amazing. it would have already been done.
when you pick up a video game controller, did you ever wish you could make it better? form it better to fit your hands? rearrange the buttons to your liking?
if you just bought a case from another user, that portable was made to his or her hands. made to fit in his or her hands.
well, MAKE your portable to fit for YOUR hands!

I would but have no experience doing that stuff. I don't have the tools either. It would cost me hundreds of dollars getting the tools and all the mess up I would do too. I am no artistic abilities. I draw stick figures still lol.

Well, I am going to try and start on mold. Is there a name for this kind of work, so I can look up online on how to do it? To find out what tools I need to shape it and stuff. Thanks

Right. However if you have absoloutly no expirerence than buying something like a case so your portable looks nice is a okay solution. Just as long you make your case next time.
