Good job! I know how hard plexi/lexan can be to work with, I used some for my car mp3 player, drilling holes is a finster..

Victory is today's name. Finally after, 5, 6 months, this projected has wound down. Granted there are a few minor things needed (screw the case together, I lost all the external screws, and to buy new screws to mount the z-button). That's all though. It's been a long journey, but the end result, playing Starfox64 for an hour in the car, is worth it. Gameboys/PSPs just can't live up to that.

I would rather not say this, but this unit will be available for sale if the price is right. I've put so much money into this project, and right now I kind of need it back. If you are interested, email me at joevennixATgmailDOTcom. I'll get right back to you.

And now, what you're here for: pictures.

Notice the scratch in the paint by the screen. I hope to buy some vinyl sticker and create a 'frame' around the screen, which would cover the scratch.

The unit is about 3 inches thick, including the battery compartment. I need to measure it to be exact.

You can see my 'quality' paint job. Give me a break, it was my first time.

Yeah, about 3 inches. Notice the gap in the case. I am holding it together, because I lost the screws. I'm going to pick some up from Home Depot tomorrow.

And a mug shot.

Well there you have it. The fruits of 6 months of labor. Not much to look at, but it runs fine, and gets the job done. I'm just glad I'm finished building it.

Comments please!!!

Nice N64p! Looks pretty thin. Just tape it shut for now.

Great job! I know how you feel about being bored with it, by the time I got done with my L64, I just wanted to get it done and forget about it.

Congrats. And as to the looks, who cares as long as it runs and you enjoy it.

So, joe, how are the fancy tactile switches you got workin' out for you?

They actually feel just like the real thing, I am impressed. Now if the store would just restock them...

sweetness! looks very good, is that an LED mod or the original backlight? anyway it looks great

. glad you finished it. if you don't want to open it up any time soon it works great to epoxy or even hot glue it to hold it together.
