Hello everyone! Update time. Started off with wiring the batteries up and the cutoff switch. Finally got the bare controller board and populated it. Still need to program it. There also might be a clearance issue with the heat sinks. Thanks @Gman for open sourcing this. Also, prepared the...

My portable thanks you.

Worlds smallest n64 inbound! But seriously, fantastic work!

Hey everyone! Went to Japan and picked up some Shindou edition games in honor of my portable. Ordered a case and I am not very satisfied with the pull-n-pick foam. It resulted in a very messy look. I’ve ordered this case many times for gboys and never had this issue. I realized I prefer this...

I was thinking of designing something like this to take the edge off tedious wiring. Fantastic work! now we just need a flex cable for the cartridge pin-connector that will fit the N64HH design.

Any update on this?

No kidding. They are a tough pill to swallow. The wallet took a beating that day. Especially compared to buying broken disc drive wii’s for 25-30 bones.

Parts are slowly trickling in. I just got my 25x25x10mm heatsinks in. And I finally ponied up and bought the memory expansion paks (ouch). I know using the expansion pak creates more of a power demand on the console/batteries, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. Earlier I tried harvesting...

Thanks! Surprisingly there was a lot to unpack on this one. I've enjoyed the process though. Thanks for taking some really clear photo's on your build too, they've been helping me get a visual as well.

Thank you! I'm excited to test them out. Link to the joysticks: here. The mesh I bought in bulk years ago and the link has long since dried up. Pretty generic stuff though. Surprisingly there isn't a spot for the aux socket, but that's and easy fix and the spot I picked looks like it will...

*Update*, Still waiting on parts. I accidentally ordered the controller PCB's without ENIG gold plating. Luckily @Nicholas298 was able to hook me up with an extra set he had. In the meantime I received my Retroid Pocket 3/3+ hall-effect joysticks. They are dark grey, so they are almost an exact...

*Update* I verified the screen is working and removed control board through-hole components that won't be used. This will also help the screen to sit flush against the screen housing and avoid any rubbing. I put some Kapton tape on the underside of the board where composite (AV1+GND) are so they...

Can't thank you enough! I think 35x35mm heatsinks are too large to fit in this design, I think it should be 25mm (or preferably 27mm to match the exact size of the chips, but those are hard to find).

Awesome! Also, I think the Gerber for the FFC cable breakout board isn't there. But not sure if you want to include that.

I can't seem to find the speaker brackets. Are they missing from the files?

*Tiny Update* I worked on the back label for the portable. I tried to mimic the N64 label on the console, or as Nintendo called it, the "control deck". With that, I think we have a project name: The "Portable" Control Deck. At least it sounds better than Sony's nomenclature. Creative liberties...

Whoa, where has the time gone? Well, it would seem my project has gotten a new lease on life once I saw the fantastic work of @Nicholas298 with the N64HH. With that said, I have changed some of the original build criteria - original joysticks aren't part of the N64HH design and are just too...

PM'd you good sir!

A true work of art, pretty much the best portable N64 we've seen yet. This would look so good in glass fiber nylon!

I’m Interested as well, 1 Ashida shell in Gamecube indigo and a black gboy shell.
