My N64p

User · Post by **User** » Tue Feb 19, 2008 11:41 pm

Damn finally l was able to get into this forum,l was never able to get a confirmation e-mail to activate my previous accounts l tried creating,but anyway onto my first portable l've tried to build,and its almost done,just need a controller!!!!!!!!!
my portable runs off 6 NI-MH sub-c batteries,that l was able to sandwich in my sytem internally.
5 inch psone screen
original n64 housing as my case
fan mod
some completely random homebuilt dc-dc converter from someone off ebay,its tiny which is good,but it overheats so l had to put it under my fan and it solved the problem of it resetting my nintendo 64 every minute >_>.
and thats pretty much all, the rest is in the pics l'm posting so yeh.

ZELDA!

Good, pleased you liked my guide. Just a suggestion, but how about designing and making your own case out of perspex? It would look nice then...

Very nice job! It's very impressive, especially for a first timer. Keep up the great work!

Thats great! It's amazing to see a first post with pictures, even more amazing to see the portable almost complete. That looks great. Keep up the good work and keep us updated on any progress.

Thats very nice. I'd just creat a case for it.

Kind of an old thread isn't it? The electrical tape holding those heatsinks on is a bad idea, as the heatsinks now have no surface area because they are covered in tape.

Yes, old topics seem to keep being brought back for no real reason lately.

Neildo_64 - Yes, he should have used heatsinks and not tape. As the fan is directly over the chips it should be able to cool them fine without heatinks, however he should have used heatsinks as a precaution.
