My first Project: N64P

[omgitsthebishop]

Hey guys, I'm not really new here. Joined about 6 months ago and started on a PSoneP, didn't get very far, and had to sell most of my supplies for different reasons. I've been lurking around the forums for a few months and have really been inspired by all of the people posting their worklogs on different projects, and I want to start my own. I want to do an N64p because it is by far my favorite console ever. Problem is I don't have any supplies...

What I need:
-N64 console and game
-Some sort of screen
-Case

What I have:
-Dremel Tool
-Controller

What are some other things that I would need to accomplish this goal? Also, any ideas on a case? Also if anybody is selling any of the things I need, let me know!

EDIT: I'm gonna post a picture of my idea of a case... I like the look of the AG-85 from poly case, but it looks to small considering I think it is smaller than zenloc's "smallest n64p in the world"
Thanks so much!

If you want it to be small, I would recomend a 3.5" screen. Hailrazer has a very good comparison bewteen 3 different 3.5" screens here: (http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=35263" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

Also for a smaller size, you will want to replace the joystick in the controller with one from a Gamecube/Nunchuk/Classic controller. The how-to for that can be found here:

Everything else you really need to know can be found in the "N64 Portable Info" sticky at the top of the N64 page (http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5528" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

Good luck!

If I'm not mistaken don't all of those have no audio?

[argelfraster]

That is what an audio amp is for

[omgitsthebishop]

Well than is using a 3.5" screen and audio amp better (taking up less space) than the PSone screen?
Because I would enjoy the 29.99 price Also, what audio amp would you suggest?

[hailrazer]

If you have room just use a 5" Psone screen. They are $43 shipped on Ebay.

Would you think that the PSone screen would fit in the AG-85 case? I'm working on a mock-up case design right now... seems like it might be a bit small

Well it fits if you led mod it and trim off the then not needed power transformer.

[omgitsthebishop]

Would you recommend that case? Or should I try something else? I have the backing of one I used a while ago. I guess I could just reform a front half of my own and make it a few cm thicker to help with fitting everything...

[hailrazer]

Well I barely fir a Genesis 3 in the Ag-85 case with 2 tiny batteries, but I guess it "could" work with an external cart slot.

Sorry my AutoCAD program is being a pain in the arse. I will work on it tomorrow during class.
