Nold, your pictures are like something out of a magazine. I love watching this thread.

I always “like” when people share their model files. Now I’m kicking myself for not buying that DS case when I found one for $1.

The hardest part about making my PS1p was mounting the disk drive. If you have a disk-less solution it would make your portable soooooooooooo much easier. Controller ports aren’t required since you can hardwire your player 1. They’re only needed if you want external controls as well. Mem card...

Great job, Redmagnusx! The case is very well planned out! How does this compare to a DMG in terms of size/thickness? It took me about 3 minutes to figure out where you put the charging jack and I thought it would have been hilarious if you had forgotten that tiny little component.

First pic has the Texas Instruments logo on the board. I’d say you’re ok. I’ve not seen the PTH in that last pic before. I’d recommend looking for a data sheet for it before using it.

At first I thought you were talking about the home button being lit up. BUT THEN I SAW IT And it’s not like I need another reason to rewatch 2001. Pretty good choice for filling the vacancy where the tablet’s camera was. BUT this could have been the world’s first portable to incorporate the...

He just means that anything from China is risky because there is a good chance it is of poor quality. Are your PTHs branded TI? If so, they’re probably ok and you just bought from a Chinese reseller.

As much as I love where this is going, I also love random Gameboy crap so it makes my heart bleed to hear you’ll be chopping up that Shark MX. I know, the service is dead and all. I’m just sad I don’t have one.

Blame the ABS cement. Unless you apply it in very small amounts or use it on a rock solid piece of plastic, it will cause some warping. Sorry to hear about the first case, it looked really good. Yeeeessssss, delay your portable while I....do absolutely nothing on mine.

@Madmorda you could try the trick of driving your screen directly from the pi’s GPIO. I think @YveltalGriffin recently posted a link on how to do that (I really need to bookmark that). You might get a bit better video clarity and will save some space with no screen driver board. This is a...

Weak knees, heavy arms. Mother’s spaghet.

So smooth! That is some solid frankencasing, my friend.

Ooo I had never seen a vid of a vacuum former in action. That’s pretty neat! FYI Dremel makes a workstation stand that lets you adjust the angle up to 90 degrees. Not sure if that’s the kind of thing you’re going for. You mentioned Downing and I know that he used to have one of those.

On second thought, it’s probably volume indicator. Just looked kind of WiFi-ey.

Is that a WiFi strength indicator at the top of the screen? Needless to say, I think this is one of the most anticipated projects on the boards right now (maybe ever).

Well I've heard there was a project plan Dreamt up by this one red-haired man But Shank said you don't want a GameCube, do ye? Now it's Wii because convinced he was, The modder named GingerOfOz Started his long work on WaluWiigi WaluWiigi WaluWiigi WaluWiigi WaluWiigi Well his faith was strong...

Correct. The 7.4V from your charging circuit doesn’t need to be stepped up because the N64 can run fine off of 7.4. I read in another time and another place that it’s because the 12v line goes through a 5v regulator anyway, but don’t quote me on it.

Sounds like you’ve got a good list of parts already. Don’t let fear be a hindrance; the 64 is pretty easy to work with so you should be in good shape. If you’re considering doing a board trim, build confidence on your Dremel by hacking up dead electronics. As for your questions: 1) You will...

I’m unofficially racing you for project completion. :) Really I just need more motivation. The vacuum forming sounds like a good idea. I’m also going to try for the controller grip shape but my construction method is taking a slightly different route. Funny you had the exact same trimming...
