Freakin’ hilarious!

I ended up going with normal switch sticks instead of hall effect ones. I was having the same issue, kinda a bummer, but easy enough to swap out in the future. I probably have close to 300 hours on the portable now, and still having a blast!

I’ll take one of each as well of they are still available! DM me if so.

Glad your moving forward with it.

Gman open sourced his version of the board Here just in case if you dont hear from Sparklebear.

Such a fantastic idea! Definitely agree with removing the RTC and making options for the SD card access.

Update on that joystick topper. Just put 18 hours on it to beat a fun fan mod called Jiggies of Time. It’s still rock solid, and I actually prefer it to the rubber joystick topper. Just wanted to post this in case anyone was still on the fence.

Damn straight!

Another update! The joystick was buggin' me in all its comfy glory. Time to incorporate the original N64 joystick to meet my original build outline from 2022... All I did was chop the joystick neck off and sand, I believe I might be the first one to do this? Alternatively, you could have...

Update! A few weeks ago, I decided to try the 90 degree "bend method" for the expansion pak. It was super easy - just cut through the PCB about 75% and gently snapped the fiberglass forward and the layer mask followed suit. I Put some super glue to hold her steady. Works great, though I was...

Well the difference is I dont need to worry about passing EMI testing and passing emission limits set by different countries. You dont see any massive RF shields on our portables or massive outer ground planes. Plus many of the breakout boards put functions back in that were removed from the trim.

Hey Everyone, *Update* @Gman, @CrazyGadget and I got together to finish building this beast. I couldn’t have done it without the knowledge of these two gents. Credit especially has got to go Gman’s surgeon hands with a Dremel and skills with using the largest soldering tip possible to do RCP...

*Update*! I noticed my D-Pad wasnt working correctly and after a conversation with gman, he pointed me in the right direction. The N64 D-Pad has 2 little protruding nubs that need to be removed with flush cutters to work properly. These nubs are on the top of the D-PAd as shown in the photo. I...

I thought they both had revision NUS-RTC-10 where there is no cap that needs to be removed up to the vias. Then they just ran a jumper wire on that lone high trace. But yeah, it probably will either barely fit or not at all. :!:

Update! I trimmed the jumper pak and got my new portable case. Only the finest for this portable! No need for including charging cables anymore cause our phones use the same USB-C. Till next time.
