Chunk 64 Update!!! (page 6)

BÃg Ã · Post by **BÃg Ã** » Fri Mar 31, 2006 11:04 am

I have been planning on making an N64p for a while (like 2 months) so can any1 give me help. I've already got the n64 motherboard out of the casing, the controller out of the casing, a case made - about 8 and a half inches by 6 inches, and about 1 'n' a half inches high, i'm about to relocate the cartridge slot with some cable, and my screen is coming in the post 2moro (April Fools

) am i missing anything - apart from a battery?

And by the way, its my first portable!!

EDIT: I was thinking on calling it the 'Chunk' 64

Ha, good luck! I'm starting one for my first portable as well! (or more specifically, I'm going to be working on a N64p and PSOneP at the same time). If there's anything I can tell you, its always wear a anti-static wrist strap when possible. It could SAVE you money if 'ya know what I mean

. BTW, there are some people that will tell you differently, but I reccomend it for a newbie.

HAVE FUN!

you're missing a dc-dc convertor. aside from that you're good to go

go to benwiki.tk or my site to find the N64 guide
EDIT: yeah, you really need an anti-static strap. and be as careful with the mobo and controller ans you can, those fry esily if you don't treat them right

I've tottaly abused my controllers, about five of them, and only one of them actually fried.

Gooooooooooo BenWiki!

what type of inductor should i use

daguuy · Post by **daguuy** » Sat Apr 01, 2006 8:47 am

i don't know the value of the inductor but it should be pretty small. here's 2 pics of mine, hopefully this will help

the little orange donut-shaped thing is the inductor

do you think this is a good logo?

EDIT: thanks for the help with the screen as well, daguuy

The logo looks good, the colors seem off though, like the blue looks like purple.
