you will need:
an n64 (obviously)
a psone screen (or any other screen with composite imput I recommend the psone screen because it comes with speakers)
some 7.4v batteries with atleast 4000mah
a controller (third party if you want a decent analog stick)
a case (I recommend the zn-45 from polycase.com if you are a beginner)

thats about it, the rest is stuff like wire, solder/soldering iron you know that sort of thing.
Hope that helps!

EDIT:
You will also be needing a regulator to drop the voltage, I recommend the pth08080waz from texus instruments, you can get it for free by ordering a free sample. You will also be needing a 100uf capacitor and a 2.2k resistor to get the voltage you want.

Do you know how to solder/have you worked with electronics before?
if not then its not recommended you start directly making a nintendo 64 portable.
what you could do is build components for it is practise like:
audio amp
ti pth08080 power circuit
etc...
everything you need to know is in the stickies or acquired with quick searches.

That would probably work just fine. Make sure you wire them in parallel :)

Does it cost anything to ship the pth08080waz to Germany (transportation costs)?
