That's really nice looking work on the screen. What kind of epoxy are you using?
Looks very awesome so far.

Re: Downing's 2nd N64p
Oh that sounds like a fun challenge, ok everyone, relocate the expansion pak and rcp wire an N64 while you're drunk. Then start making the case using power tools.!
Ok maybe that's not such a good idea.
Anyway, nice to see it still coming along.

Now that is awesome . The overall shape is pretty. I really like the z button.

Looks fantastic! I assume the X and O Playstation buttons on the back are R and L?

Is it bad if Nimbus made me think of Harry Potter (the broomsticks), then Futurama (Zapp Brannigan's ship name)?cndowning wrote:So, I've been trying to think of a name for this system for awhile, but it wasn't till just now I was looking at my Avatar and a picture of the soon to be finished sytems when it clicked. "The N Cloud" was the first to pop into my mind...but I think I'm actually going to call it "The Nimbus 64". If that's already been used, let me know, I'll think of something else, but I think it rolls off the tongue nicely and it still can be called an N64! So that's the name for now!

My earliest game memory was playing Ms. Pac-man co-op with my brother on our 50 inch crt tv.
Made it to like level 50, we were pretty pro for being under 8. Good times.

I love CaseMods ( http://www.nowhereelse.fr/?s=casemod" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ) and the "Nimbus 64" is an amazing one that deserves to be published in the world "Geek"I am honored that you want to write a review on this for your site!
Glad you like it, Thanks!I was just checking it out and it looks awesome!
Can't wait! Let me know when it's done!As soon as I get the power wired up, tested and working I will do a video demo and post it here [...] this should be finished by the first week in May if that will work!
Re: Downing's 2nd N64p "The Nimbus 64"
The best thing I can think of is to make sure that all your buttons are making good contact with the pads and that they are wired correctly. I have no idea how to fix the controller, really. I had the same problem but just took the controller out of the case and it worked fine. Maybe make sure that nothing is shorting it out? If you've got a short on ground, it could maybe mess all that up.
