I've found a few more interesting things in my search. The Rambus Memory that appears in the N64 was the first generation of RDRAM. The RDRAM that was available for PC's around 1999 is a 3rd generation product. As well as the N64 has a 8/9bit bus and the stuff for PC's was 16bit. So that's a...

Watching Gman work on his N64-AIO has inspired me to look into sources for N64 RAM chips. The going rate at the moment is just under $50 for an OEM Expansion Pak with a single 4MB chip. Before the recent price hikes on Nintendo 64 consoles I always found it cheaper to source these 4MB chips from...

I appreciate it Aurelio. I'd hate to kill this over something so simple. The guide wasn't clear on what thermal interface material is to be used. I used some Noctua NT-H1 I had lying around. Was I supposed to reuse the old thermal pads?

I pealed a blue film off of both sides. Is there more? I scratched at the surface with a razor blade because I thought the same thing. I think the surface is etched where the air bubbles were.

It's a G-Boy and it's purple. Worklog I can't get over how hilarious it is to play Guitar Hero on this tiny portable with this giant plastic controller.

I finally got time to wrap this project up. I've never even considered building a Wii/GC portable before the G-Boy kit was released. Partially because I've been stuck on the N64 since I was a child (no other console can compare, lol). And partially because I haven't followed the developments in...

I'm a big fan of Jehu and https://jag35.com/. Right now the best deal I've ever seen on 18650's are these scooter packs. https://jag35.com/collections/lithium-batteries/products/40-cell-lgmh1-18650-lithium-scooter-battery-pack 40 LG cells that are around 3100mAh to 3200mAh for $57.50. That's...

SAMSUNG. I fought a 3 different SanDisks for a week before trying a Samsung. I'm 2 for 2 successful with Samsung cards.

Lol, speaking dimensionally I forgot to post those. It's about 13.5 wide x 7.375 tall x 1.375 thick. My goal was to come in under 1 inch thick but that didn't work out because of the controls. And it didn't feel right putting DS Lite controls on such a massive portable. So in the extra space I...

I hardwired the external controller port for player 1 to the Nintendo 64. Then wired the internal controller through a micro limit switch in the normally closed position. And finally the switch was glued in such a way that it is opened when a controller is physically inserted. The switches...

The portable is finally done. It's really hard to capture the color of this Duplicolor Purple Metalcast paint. It's super dark unless it's in direct light then it's a bright metallic purple. I also had to resort to an Everdrive64 X7 as my 64drives I ordered summer 2018 still haven't arrived...

I've finished the work on the Retro-Bit Tribute 64 controller.

I've got my new boards and everything works! Now I've got to tackle the PortablizeMii side. I started playing with this before I got my G-BOY kit and haven't got anywhere with it. I guess I'm struggling with the formatting. I've got PortablizeMii up and running on a 16GB usb drive but for the...

Case work and buttons always seem to take longer than they should, especially when franken-casing. I'm thinking my next portable will have a well engineered 3d printed case. Looking at how well thought out the G-BOY is I'm having a hard time wanting to go this route in the future. Although using...

This is where I got mine: https://www.ebay.com/itm/US-LiitoKala-Lii-500-4-Slots-Smart-Battery-Charger-LCD-Display-for-18650-26650/392736644166?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 I bought the LiitoKala because it was cheaper than the C4 and something makes me think the...

I'll ship it out on Monday. Thanks.

I just found a datasheet on the TI 2110A so I identified the multiplexer. I don't have continuity from the USB D+ and D- to pins 1 and 2 on the multiplexer (D0 and D1). My guess at this point is the USB-C port needs a reflow.
