I'm new here, and I've decided to make an N64p. Long ago I wanted to make one, and now comes the chance. The B64 is expected to be done by the 4th week of April. I have a good idea of what it's gonna look like. I'll add pics of the sketches later. It uses 8 rechargeable 2100mAH AA batteries, power converter, and a psone screen. BTW this is my first portable.
I hope it works

is this sarcasm?jeroen wrote:Seems like your well prepared and you know what your doing.
no offense, but I would try something easier first. the first protable I attempted was a PS1. that fried. than, a Dreamcast, which is just as hard as N64. that is still sitting taken apart in my room.
I reccomend buying bens book and trying a NES portable.
No it wasn't. But at least he SEEMS to be knowing what he's doing.ganonbanned wrote:is this sarcasm?jeroen wrote:Seems like your well prepared and you know what your doing.

I'll stop now. don't want to have a flame war.
I don't know, my first portable was an N64, before I even came here.ganonbanned wrote:no offense, but I would try something easier first. the first protable I attempted was a PS1. that fried. than, a Dreamcast, which is just as hard as N64. that is still sitting taken apart in my room.

I say give it a shot, there's no sense in making a portable you won't play versus one you will (N64).
Use 6 AAs (7.2v), and try to get them 2500mAh (if you're a power mongler). 2500mAh will still only get you about an hour of play (non-LED modded screen) sadly.
Batteries to consider:

Yeah, but you need a protection circuit too, or KABOOM!. Gamelver knows what I'm talking about.ATOMICMAN wrote:run 2 in series for 7.2v.Billybb347 wrote:Why would he use a battery that has half the voltage you need?Skyone wrote: And if you're ready to take a risk:

Yeah. This is my first portable, and I know that frying has happened to many other people, but I still have a good spirit. BTW the batteries are actually 2500mAH, not 2100mAH. I'm sure that the screen will run off 8 AA rechargeables, which makes 9.6 volts. And here's a pic to give you the idea of what it will be like:
The game slot, jumper/expansion slot, and memory slot (on the controller) are on the back side, and what looks like an N64 controller is actually an N64 controller, I'm not gonna open it up.
Wish me luck
