Does anyone know how to open the n64 without the special tool, or destroying the case?

Good pliers and lots of patience

I'd recomend moddifying a regular screw driver for use as a spacer driver to open it though.

Look on doomportables.org they have a section that talks about getting those screws removed.

just cut the case its fun you get to damage cheap things and you have to make a portable after that!

I guess I'm just going to cut it open and force myself to make something.

the only thing they say that sounds like it might work for the n64 is to melt a pen, but they didn't even say what that was for.

if you've got a dremel and are sure you're not gonna put your N64 back together, I'd say just drill of the screw heads

.....don't worry too much about hitting the board, though, there's shielding on it

. be careful, though, I once accidentally cut into the board about a half inch, screwed it up completly
