A moderator has to do it. And it's not really the first thing people think of when they see a portable. So I just have to wait for a moderator to promote me.

Nice! Looks pretty good. How's it play? Like weight and grip and battery life.

It's pretty comfortable actually, it's not that heavy for a portable n64, of course it's no DSI.

It looks a little bumpy. Maybe sanding it with a higher grit would've helper. Although, I can't say much since I haven't made one. :lol:

I made the mold for the case out of clay by hand. It was as smooth as I could really get it. I really don't notice it much though.

I meant like the bump around the buttons. I don't know. Maybe, my perfectionist side is showing. :oops: Looks great.
