I want to make a portable, and I want to start with the Nintendo 64. I have most of the parts and I want people to check if I have all of the parts and tell what I can do to make it good. If possible, also tell me any really good guides
Nintendo 64+Controller
Gamebit screwdriver
Soldering Iron
A portable TV
PS1 screen (backup screen)
Wire
Casing
I did not include battery because I want to ask what is the best or easiest to obtain.

Re: Starting a new portable N64
First of all.... good luck 
The N64 portable is fun to make but can be quite a challenge.
For battery information see here under the 7.4v section :

They have batteries that work , but they will be bigger, heavier , less amperage and more expensive per mAh than what I linked to.iNerd wrote:I don't really wish to order online, so if radio shack has correct batterys, I would love to know

Re: Starting a new portable N64
Would some simple rechargeable AA batteries work? And are there any ways to do it without a voltage regulator?
