Question Wiring up video for my N64

[AnthonyZappa]

Hello,
some people will say(after reading this), that I am totally stupid, but I really need help.
I wanted to know, which wires I need for my N64 to wire it to the lcd screen.
Also I want to know, how to connect the controller mainboard to my n64 mainboard to use the controller, because I want to make a portable N64
Would be nice, if someone sends an amazonlink here below.
(Sorry for bad English, Im german )

Greetings from Munich,

You'll want to take a look at this for video and this for the controller pinout. Here is a list of some commonly used parts in portables as well, just for reference

Welcome neighbor!
As you're also from germany, you'll most likely have a PAL N64-Board, right? Then there will be different chips on the mainboard, with different pinouts!
I'm working on a N64p right now, too & have already found out some alternative solderpoints. If you are interested & give me some time, I can make a "How to wire your N64p - PAL-Editon"..

Not much, but I don't have a complete PAL-Board atm

Weißt du, wie die Kabel heißen, die man dafür braucht, wegen den verschiedenen Farben^^

Sorry, but stay in english, please. So everybody can follow this thread & learn

Translation: He asks, how the name of the wire is, he needs. Because of the different colors

You don't need a specific cable. I (and many other) like to use "kynar", which is super small & single core. Which makes it perfect for soldering on small spots. Also you should get some "kapton" (great tape, heat resistant) and "flux" (german: flussmittel), it will make soldering 1000% easier & cleaner!

You can get kynar, kapton & flux on ebay. Shipping from england, or europe in general, is very fast & cheap for small stuff.
This is the other wire, I like to use: https://www.reichelt.de/Kupferlitze-isoliert/2/index.html?ACTION=2&LA=2&GROUPID=5049 (great german shop)

And for the colors: They just don't matter! Yet it's nice to use different colors, but I don't really care, if I don't have something matching lying around.

If you need more informations, feel free to send me a PN.
