My first portable

The case is made from clear polystyrene with alumminum for the sides,
It uses a small 7.2v Li-Ion battery (not pictured)
In the third pic, you can just see the cartridge (Pilotwings - great game) sliding down the back.

I think my next portable will be a dreamcast, but I have to build a vacuum former first.

Thanks to all in this great forum for the idea to build this!

well let me be first to post and congradulate you on a job well done, i belive that may be the best portable n64 i have ever ever seen. its nice, sleek, has all the things onboard, only thing id chance is the bulge on the back, id smooth it out a bit more, other than that, its excellent absoultely beautiful

I think if Ben had a n64p in his book, it'd look a lot like that
