My First N64 Portable

[Doolittle]

Hey guys, I've been watching the n64 modder community for quite a while now with great interest, going to take a shot at my first n64 portable

I'm 17 with little experience in this kind of thing, but my dad used to be somewhat of an electrician, so i can get him to help me with most of the soldering.

Heres what i was thinking of using as my case -

Only problem is the grooves at the front might get in the way of button placement, ill have a quick look at the nearest store soon for something better

Planning to buy a 5'' psone screen for $75, with $30 shipping ( I love being australian )

Ill get the n64 from ebay aswell

I'm going to use a N64 Nintendo 64 Retro controller, specifically -

Li-ion or Li-po 7.4v as batteries

Ill take a trip to an electrical store tomorrow to get capacitors, resistors, Heatsinks, regulators, composite and video plugs and tactile switches.


Ill update this thread with my progress. Recommendations, advice and links are appreciated, I'm using http://moddedbybacteria.wordpress.com/r ... guide-log/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; as my guide.

Thanks for reading =D

Just thought I'd comment and say I'll sell you a ps1 screen for half that price. Interested?

Ugh, and postage would've been cheap, ebay gave me the idea that these things were scarce.
