WIP: N64 portable

[mikeyg]

BUMP!

What do you think I should get first? A screen or batteries?

[thewise1]

I think batteries would be easier, it's harder to test a screen and console by using the normal power cables.

[mikeyg]

Ok thanks, I could just hook it up to a normal T.V. still until I get a screen, right?

[XCVG]

I'd get a screen first, because you don't need batteries, but you need a screen. Some people add batteries later.

[mikeyg]

What do you mean I don't need batteries....?

[eurddrue]

You could run it off of wall power.

[XCVG]

Or car power.

[mikeyg]

Then what's the point of a portable, y'know. If I was just going to plug it into a wall, I would just use my tv. I guess I'll do whatever's more expensive first...

[XCVG]

It's nice to play in a car though, like on long trips. Or to like a hotel with no TV. Or at school. But the thing is that you can always add batteries after if you leave room. You can't do that with a screen.

[mikeyg]

This project is not dead. I'm sorry for not updating. Still looking for a screen and batteries.

So, this is going to be getting a re-working, for the contest. Just wait another week or two. When school is out, I'm getting this done quick.

I got mine open with pens in 10 minutes and I'm 11 (BTW I used 3 pens)

So, what does age have to do with anything.

Not neccisarily true, I'm 13 and most members I see around here are 16 and up. Just because they know more in electronics, does that make me stupid. Stupidity has nothing to do with age.

[OhSnap!]

i myself am 14 years old and would be considered at least moderately intelligent and i have had some experience with electronics and engineering when i built my mame arcade machine last year. so i was making more of a retarded generalization that younger people are "stupider".
it wasn't like he was saying he was 11 to show off that he was advanced mentally for his age, he was just saying that a monkey or equivalent (the average 11 year old) probably could use a pen to unscrew it.

I couldn't get the damn thing open with apen. Used four of them too. I just took a HUGE screwdriver and pliers to it.
