Will it really be able to play ALL N64 games? How about Japanese Bio Sensor tetris?

Best underrated add-on ever. Should have it for current-gen gaming.

Is that the heartrate monitor dealy? I think my cousins have one of those, but it may be something else.

Yeah, that's it. Japanese ingenuity at it's best.

I have the case formed, but I'm going to do some more work on it before I post pics.

Still need a name though guys, just throwing that out there.

[metalcookie]

how about the
wise-64

[palmertech]

The 'Nintoduo graphics gameshell".

Because that is what the box for my replacement DS case says.

[metalcookie]

what about the
"handheld portable nintendo 64 gaming apparatus built for hands"
or the 64-deluxe portable
or the wo'sn64p!
or wo-64!
or the wow-64!(wise one's wonderful 64)
or the ya,anpn64twrtsfpn64'se! (yet again, another portable nintendo 64 that will raise the standards for portable nintendo 64's everywhere!
there are lots of names swimming out in the air

The mold it self, it does look a little funky, but I'm not done sanding it yet.

I may be able to get the forming done tomorrow if I can get the clamps to hold the frame shut.
By the way, thanks for the help bacteria!

My pleasure!

I recommend you get the case smoother than that, and get the edge finished and rounded. Vacuum forming will show ALL imperfections in the mold - I can guarantee you will be disappointed if you don't finish the mold completely. Also, smaller the holes, the more suction overall, (use some paper tape to cover holes not needed), and you need to have the holes right next to the mold shape, otherwise the plastic sheet will not form flush against the base of the mold. You also need some small holes around the perimeter, so encourage the seal so the plastic can seal against the mold better and quicker (time is of the essence).

To keep the two frames together, either use four screws (one on middle of each edge) or large bulldog clips - although you might need to chip away at the frame for the clips to fit ok. If the plastic sheet isn't secured in firmly, then it will not work.

As to a name, how about "W64" - nice and simple, or "Wisendo 64".

Alright, today I need some help with the seam. I want to make it look good, and it doesn't really want to cooperate.

I've got pics in the first post.

[jjhammerstein]

Call it pancake64, that's what it looks like. You COULD band it like Bacteria, but a REAL man would bondo it and paint the whole thing shut.

[thewise1]

I was actually thinking of bondoing the seam, the smoothing it and cutting a straight line around the outside with a knife, but I don't think it would hold. If only I had some mighty putty and a super knife.

No, that probably wouldn't hold. You could cut out the bottom though.

I think I'm just going to leave it as it is or just put a band around it. It's not going to kill me since this is my first portable, and Nothing is really going to fall out of that tiny hole.

What's wong with it

EDIT: I just realized I misspelled "wrong" lol.

[thewise1]

The seam, the 2 case parts didn't exactly go together like I wanted them to.
