I think you should match the screens, and just center the n64 in the back, that would be a cool avatar too!

did you just connect the middle leads of the pots from the C-stick to ground and used the other 4 as a switch (with additional resistors to ground to make it more sensitive) or did you use a more complicated method?

Damn that's a nice PSOne screen hack-up! Commendable job! :)

Nice work as always. Quite an accomplishment getting the boards down to that size!

:P

sifuf, this is quite possibly the most ridiculously awesome N64p I have ever seen.

fantastic job, it looks like you really did pretty much everything you could to cut down on the size


copulate awesome portable :D

That is the most amazing portability hack I have ever seen, ever. I joined these forums just to tell you how amazing this is.

I would love to but have very little time at the moment. Possibly in the future.

Yes it's wire wrap or kynar wire.
The two chips are just logic gates for the intergrated screen controls.

Yes. You've got it. That method works with an official N64 controller.
When I originally tried this with the gamecube stick, the resistor values needed were 6k8 ohms. But I just wired up a psx stick (also a 10k pot) which needed resistors of 8k2 ohms. You may need to experiment with values.

However, I was unable to recreate this with the 3rd party pad I'm using. The controller would register a button press with a very small amount of current flow and the 10k pot was too 'narrow' resistance wise, to make a clear on and off. So I had to use the pot as a potential divder with an LED bargraph circuit that would switch the buttons via transistors.

Fantastic; just fantastic. No space - even for Li-po cells??

PLEASE - make a topic in the screens forum with lots of details of what you did to reduce the PSone screen mobo; keep it simple and pictorial so anyone can follow (not electrical diagrams which are harder to follow). Also, the same for the N64 mobo reduction - what you did, what you needed to do, what connects to what. etc. It will be interesting reading for many.

Does it play all N64 games or did you need to make compromises?

This is really the way forward these days certainly - small system, vacuum formed case, etc.

What are the dimensions?

BTW - LOB found a good digital joystick which would do the job (presses straight onto the 4 direction buttons), instead of using an analogue stick, he used it in his compo entry a few months back.

I second that topic thing. Btw bacteria, if he won't I can still provide you some info for PSOne screens because I'm talking with neildo and techknott about the exact same subject right now, as I plan to make a writeup about it.

It has the EXP pack, so of course, and it has the Dpad and L.

This is the most amazing portable N64 I've ever seen! I know you're probably going to say no, but would you make one for me? I can provide the N64 and the N64 controller.
