I'm using the ZN-40 case as well. Do the LED mod, then you can cut this bit off: http://64digits.com/users/marbs/psonescreen_cut_area.png Note: In that image I'd already removed the transformer (metal thing that goes across the gap) and cut off a bit of the top of the motherboard. Once you've remove...

@MARIOPARTY555333 Thanks for the compliment :D @DK & bacteria I've never seen a "the range" store. I checked online and unfortunately my nearest store is 40.6 miles away (at least according to google maps :P) It's a shame that you say the Plasti-Kote paint isn't good. I think I may test some on a bi...

@bacteria Yes, thanks for that! I think that is my most likely option for buying batteries at the moment. @lovablechevy Hmm nope no walmarts here in the UK (though Im pretty sure the supermarket Asda is actually owned by walmart...). Glad you like it :D @mothatrucka Ah, thanks for pointing that out....

@Neildo_64 and bacteria Thanks, looks like just what I need, hopefully I'll be able to find some on ebay or somewhere if I can't find it in the UK. @marshallh Thanks, that was just the information I needed! I want my case to look as good as possible :D @ShockSlayer Those batteries would be perfect, ...

Everything is going well! I decided to get to work on the controller today. I got my N64 controller, opened it up, took the mobo out, and then cut the controller casing into lots of little pieces so that I had the C buttons, A and B buttons, Start button, joystick and d-pad plastic in separate piece...

I can answer two of your questions: 1) Putting 12v through the PSone screen will most likely break it; 2) The PSone screen can run off a voltage slightly lower than the stated 7.5v, so 7.2v should be fine (but I am not certain of this); And so yes, if the gamecube needs 12v and the screen 7.5v you'l...

This is my 1st portable, but Im confident I will get it all in. The screen and N64 fit, I just need to also cram the controller in which will be the hard part. I didn't relocate the cart slot or expansion pack, they simply stick out the back, and Im also mounting my battery on the back as well, so I...

ye of little faith, I will get it all in, just you watch! :P I did consider using the ZN-45 case since it's a little wider, however I thought it might feel unconfortable to hold. My milliput which I ordered exactly a week ago (and stated 3 working day delivery, pff) arrived earlier, so I set to work...

@schmellyfart No, I just used one SCSI cable. Was I meant to use two? @Dr. KillGood The way I did it (not necessarily the best way) was by taping the screen in place using tape on the outside of the case. Then I used hotglue on the inside to stick the plastic screen case in place. Once the glue was ...

Thanks bacteria! I don't think I will bend all the heatsink pins because they seem to be quite stiff, and won't bend very far. Good news - using my homemade battery I connected up my PSone screen, N64 and transformer, and it all works fine! Well, I say fine, the image on the screen is a bit messed u...

Well, at the moment I already have a few heatsinks like this one: http://64digits.com/users/marbs/IMG_0608.jpg As you can see they are just a couple millimetres higher than the N64 block thing, which isn't that much but I still want to save as much space as possible. Are the heatskinks you have smal...
