God damn I miss seeing the old methods in use! But when mixed 3DP it get's me all tingly! Miss ya man, glad to see you're back at it!

Well done! Easy to see the time that was put into this one!

Thanks, it was tight and though most of the system worked first try, but when a key feature goes belly up it takes the wind out of your sails. I screwed up the cart cover as well but now I'll have time to redo it the correct way. Project is far from dead, I just need to give it a break for the...

:(

Not looking good...ran into problems with the cart cover of all things...tried to cut a corner to save some time and it came back to bite me. I've got just a little bit of wiring left to do, but unless this thing boots up on the first try I'm probably out. We'll see what happens tomorrow night.

Eh, not looking for a participation trophy honestly. Either this get's finished in time and I gave it a good shot, or it doesn't in which case I still gave it a good shot. That said though, this weekend might have breathed a bit of life into the hope I can get this done in time, with 6hrs put...

Gonna be tight on finishing this up in time, but I just found out I will have an entire Saturday day and night this weekend to myself. The case work, PCB work and all other hardware related modifications are done, assembly is done, so essentially it's just an ass-load of wiring, so the...

RIP GoldeN64 :'( Dunno how the hell after 3 weeks of this case being painted and sealed that the gold paint began to hairline fracture under the clear coat! This happened a couple days before I ready to close it up and have no idea why. And as I mentioned, the really strange part is that...

So this happened today :) USgamer Kinda cool.

Actually that's been being done since well before most of us ever even thought 3D printing was an option. So, just realized that I'm going to have to shift priories here. I thought this compo was done at the end of July...no, it's the end of August, however the commission I'm doing is due at...

Made a bit of progress this weekend, got the boards trimmed and did some case work on the other commission project I've been working on. Though I don't do much with CNC anymore, it's still useful to use when trimming motherboards. This was all being done manually in slow jog mode. For...

Made quite a bit more progress today with the afternoon off. Again, may not look like much on this project, but two other projects got a lot done in the same time frame. Got the N64 mother board stripped. Now just need to trim it. Started to place the components in the front face of the...

So there's been a bit of progress since the last post. Doesn't seem like it but little by little this is taking shape. The back half of the case was complete until I messed up the cart cover pretty bad and decided to redo it. Still need to fill/sand and paint, but I'm thinking of back-lighting...

I've got a lot of sanding ahead of me to finish off the back half of the casing, but the final steps in the case work have begun. Not super excited with how the decals came out after a coat of paint, so these may be redone before the end, but you get the just of what I was going for. This was...

Took a bit more work than I was anticipating to get this right and had to make compromises I wasn't happy with making, primarily with thickness, but it works. Everything fits and the last big piece of the case is on the printer now. Next is to work on the decals and get them ready, but that'll...

Update time. I've still been working hard on the cart cover and back face plate to accommodate the ED64. Basically a whole new design for the cart cover, or in this case, ED64 cover. Had to make some changes to the back face plate as well to be able to mount the cover properly. Though it may...

Parts have started arriving and the printers have been working day and night for the past couple of days. In the process of making a 3D model for the ED64 as its going to require a fairly substantial redesign of the back of the case to fit the way I'm hoping for. Also bought a 3 pack of...

Part sourcing has begun, though admittedly most everything I already had in-house. The Ultra-Everdrive64 has been ordered which is probably the most critical part as I'll have to do some new design work to make it fit into the case. Most of the other parts are actually being ripped out of the...

More than likely going to get my ass kicked by entering this contest with a portable base as inferior to the Wii as the N64, but the plan is to modernize it as much as possible utilizing a built in Everdrive as well using Marshall's VGA board for a nice video upgrade. As always it will include...

As if this is even a relevant topic in this Wii little land over here, but hell...I'm in the mood to be roasted! This isn't anything ground breaking by any means aside from the fact that I think no one has tried this in the past, making it an underwhelming "first" in the portablizing scene...
