The Li-Ion battery pack is a Polaroid BT-41 and when you stack the cells on top of each other, they are about the size of 6 AA batteries. Pretty small!
Also, the buttons ARE held in place! I take a dremel with a cutoff wheel and shave off the plastic bits in the original controller. So, the buttons DO stay aligned perfectly just as in the original controller. It does take a bit of work though.
I am not making anymore L64s. I may make a different model if I design another, but the current design is not optimized for production. Jeff's L64 took several months, and I just don't have the time.

Amazing, astounding, almost flawless! *Points to crying D-pad in corner*
That is amazing though! How did you wire a switch for switching inbetween 1p builting and an external controller? Also is there a way to wire a switch so you can plug it back in to your tv? These are things that a perfect portable should do. I'm working on mine. At first I was going after your first N64p's design until i found this one. I'm going for a sweet franken-case mod though. It would be somewhat like handheldcc's though, but with the d-pad at the bttom of the middle. Assuming its not to heavy!

If all you want is an N64p, buy the one made by Joevennix! He's looking for a buyer, and his is pretty awesome:
