N64 MotherBoard+Casing+ETC. Help

[SuperInsane]

Hello!

I'm making a Nintendo 64 Portable,and I am making it a bit smaller.I want to know if you can make the motherboard smaller.I saw someone using a game boy color casing to make a portable N64 called Ultra64.

And what household item could I use for a substitute screw driver?

Also,is it possible to make a menu screen,or system opening?

(Such as the gamecube opening and the wii menu?)

All help appreciated!

to fit it into a gameboy case, you need to do an rcp wiring, pretty much one of the hardest wirings of all of portablizing. substitute screw driver: pen and fire

That still leaves my other question.

How do I make an Opening Logo/Menu?

How do I make an Opening Logo/Menu?

As far as I know, you can't.

Marshall probably could... Its not worth the effort if all you are doing is putting up a splash screen. Just paint it onto the back.

Splashscreen is possible with seperate board, but it would be a lot of money and effort for very little benefit.

And no way will an N64 mobo fit into a gameboy color case.

that was a GBO case, although with an rcp wiring I could easily fit one into an AG-54.(the small one from polycase)(the smaller version of the case used on the superboy) I could also do without the rcp wiring with some of the cart slot area of the mobo hanging out of the case, which could be fixed with some cover plastic.

Not gonna fit in a DMG case, either. Me and ShockSlayer have talked about it many times, but it would need a TON of very precision cutting and re-wiring on the front edge of the board, and a perfect RCP wiring job. It is just barely too big, which makes me sad.

The best you are going to get is somewhere around this size:

Don't hijack this guys thread, I will make my own here tomorrow. And woo, you are right!



It is from a portable speaker set, radioshack, circa 1993.
