Ah that’s much appreciate man! It’s been a long time since I posted actually. Just seeing your V2 made me reminisce a bit about a time long past.
Funnily enough Sifuf’s N64 was my first inspiration to make my V1 model. It was so much fun butchering electronics and moulding them into crazy...
Haha damn that is one sweet looking N64. It does somewhat remind me of one of my first N64 portables yeah
But this is much much more developed. Portable making has seen an incredible transformation in the last decade.
Look forward to see the final case finish. Keep up the great work
No need. Will use the original joycons and just add a dpad. Not sure which one I will use. Maybe one from a wiiu pro pad. I have a bunch of parts laying around. I'll see which ones works best.
Still working on it. My new workshop area should be ready by the end of this week. Next week get back to it.
I think the Switch lite is not a deal breaker for me because it actually removes features. The model I'm working on will actually be similar in size to it but will have fully functional...
Little update. Just heard that I gotta move out from my workshop. No idea if I will get the time to complete this project but will continue to try to get it done on time.
I was considering building the hdmi dock into the switch and power it off a 15v battery pack (because the amp draw at 15v in...
Deal. If this model works out the way I want it to I might consider making more of them fully assembled excluding the switch motherboard. That way people can buy the premade kit and just put their own switch mobo inside.
:facepalm:Considering Nintendo might launch their own mini maybe it is...
Hahaha yeah I have all the parts ready to make a Wii portable but considering the amount of time I have available and how many people already are making them I wanted to do something different.
It is nowhere near complex as what most of you are doing here though:P.
If I finish it off quickly...
Started yesterday with slimming down the first components. The idea is to make it as small as possible while still retaining more or less all features.

Touch screen and lcd assembled:
Body comparison new design vs original design + slimmed down joycons:
I will add a dpad...
I decided to join the contest hoping it would push me to actually finish a project again. It's been a long time since I built something new and have had a bunch of idea's for a long time. The project I have in mind is something that has not been done allot before.
More info to follow soon :D...
Yeah but I’m talking about a beta usable in game. I’m really curious to see how well it works. I’ve been working with Jackson in making a Joycon style wiimote controller setup which uses more or less all the original controller modes. I need them to be wireles though for a future project.
But...
