After a lot of looking, I found a switch I can use. The ones I posted above were only available locally to me at a massive mark up, or in a box of 100. I managed to find a good alternative for the equivalent a $1 each. Here's a pic of one of them lay on top of where it will live. Once I cut a...

I'm going to be adding 4 player functionality to my portable. Based on the orientation of my motherboard I'm going to wire to the rear. I'll be wiring to these points.

You can check continuity between the current solder point and the chip with a multimeter and see which pin goes go which controller that way.

MRKane's pic a few posts back actually has a picture of where the switch goes from the red board. Here's a pic for where the controller goes.

Here in China most people went back to work on the 11th or 12th of February. My holiday ended on the 16th.

CNY is finished now. The post is back up and running.

OK some good news. I checked it and quadruple checked it, and i wired it up right. I took a reading from the red board, one battery in its holder at a time. The second one along from the left was giving a reading of less than two, so I added more solder to the connections there and to the ones...

Some more progress: And a test fit. To my surprise, after I took this pic, I put in everything and ran the bundles of wires out the holes at the bottom, and everything fit when I put the front on with the screen in it. I'm a bit confused though. With my wiring I'm getting 3.55-3.59 from...

I'll just make some holes then I suppose.

Well as it is I've got no vents or fans. Can I get away with nothing at all? I don't want to have everything closed up and have to dismantle and mod the case due to overheating.

Hey man, I'm appreciative of the input, Ah shit, well there goes that idea. Saved me some money and time with that info though, so thanks. My plan B was some other 15mm fans with a similar setup, one sucking in and one blowing out. Would this type work?

I'm confused, I thought you said that the ports going out are inaccurate? My fist plan was to have it there but after the switch, so you can only chack the battery if the console is on. If I were to wire it where the wires go into the redboard, so between the charge port and the board, won't the...

Does it matter where you wire the indicator to the batteries, or is it ok to take the +/- from anywhere?

I've been looking at these fans, they're tiny. 15mmx4mm. I was thinking I could use 2 and have one suck in air with the other blowing out, giving it some good air flow. Here's a mockup: Would it be a simple as wiring the positive and negative backward to have the fan spin the other way around?

I'm going to move ahead with getting eveything wired up and see if I can get it all working before attempting to fit it all in the case. I drew a diagram of how I think I should wire the batteries, so that they work and that I don't have lots of wires crossing each other. Does this look alright...

Here are some pics of how the inside of the case is coming. And here's how I've flattened the controller. Still need to add the wires for the buttons and trim it.

Glad you like it. It's taken a long time to get it how I want it to look. Lots of going back and sanding on the inside to get components to fit in there too. Even something as simple as colouring the Nintendo logo turned out to be a real pain. I ended up going with a waterslide decal for the...

Success, I managed to sort out the audio issue, and desolder the original pink jack and add my own smaller black one. I added a 2k resistor to each channel at the N64 to lower the volume overall a little, as through the headphones it was very loud, I then added a smaller resistor between the...

Cool, I'll give it a go, cheers. It's good to know before I get the soldering iron heated up and start. I have such limited time to work on this thing I hate to go into things blind on what might be a crap shoot.

I ran some wires to my headphone jack from the pins of the one attached to the amp. The sound quality is as good, which means I'll be able to use this amp. I'll have to find a spot for it somewhere and run the wires up to the little spot I have for the jack. Things are looking good. Lowering...
