i'm back :D glad you like it, i like it too :wink:

anyway, now that i've been using it for a week it's time for my review.
the screen looks awsome! even in dark places like fighting Gannon in Zelda OOT i could see everything very clearly, it looked better than my TV :P . it also works in very light/bright places because i can turn off the brightness mod whenever i want. the battery life is also good, about 4-5 hours on a full charge. i also found out why my old batteries seemed dead: the wall adapter doesn't charge them fully. apparently it supplies too little ma for the charger to work right because it's only 340ma and the car adapter charges it all the way. that means my old battery is still alive and could possibly be used in a PS1p :wink: . the controls are all comfortable and work great and i didn't even notice the size when playing. using reset buttons from fried N64s works great for shoulder buttons, it feels kinda like GC controls :P . 3 of the games i played needed the memory card slot and it fits well, doesn't fall out, and doesn't get in the way :) . it's also pretty durable and didn't get damaged at all during a week of heavy use and little brothers; hot glue rocks :mrgreen: . i also found a good carrying case for it. it's a bit ironic but it fits great in a Sega Dreamcast bag :P

Rock, rock on. It's great to see another N64 portable added to the list... Kinda makes me want to add one to it. Well, ok, it really makes me want to add an N64p to the list, but this thread's about you!
