    Worklog 5th GEN64 Assembly

    Not bad! It took me a few tries but it eventually got easier! The trick is to put a few drops of ISO on the button first, a drop of ink and then just dab with the paint brush. You can get some very vibrant colors from it!

    Worklog 5th GEN64 Assembly

    Thanks for this build log! Sorry it took me so long to find it! TBH, it's easier just to wire up the whole LED PCB to the main Motherboard and see if it works after the fact. Putting power too it won't do anything because it requires code from the N64 PMS. RGB LED's most of the time require a...

    Welcome To The 5th GeN64 Portable DIY Kit!

    Well everyone, after what seemed like an eternity and an endless number of hours of design, testing, prep and a successful Kickstarter, the dream has finally come true! So what happens now? Well, I first want to thank @cheese for setting-up this Sub-Forum specifically for this kit's assembly...

    [2025 Contest Entry] Classroom64

    Amazing build man! Such a perfect balance of Old School and New Era that pulls hard on the nostalgia heart strings in so many ways! That flex cable is amazing (if I say so myself ), such a time saver! Do you have any stand alone pics of the brackets you used to mount the cart slot? Looks like...

    The 5th GeN64 Portable DIY Kit

    Feels like it's been for forever since being able to make a post here about a completed project, but this is kind of a big one for me! It's been well over a decade since the last time I gave this concept a serious try and failed horribly. But with the new techniques and smart people like @Gman...

    The 5th GeN64 Portable - A Downing/Gman & Aurelio Creation

    Hey guys what's up! Sorry this is kind of a direct copy and paste of blog post but I felt there should be a post here about this project! This is my latest completed portable Nintendo 64, with big help from @Gman and @Aurelio! This is my 16th finished portable N64 in my almost 15 years of...

    Mini Air Hockey Table

    Hey guys! So yeah, I understand this isn't a portable console by any stretch of the imagination. But it is one that @CrashBash and I have been working on for the better part of 2 years. Well, one year of actual work anyway as my move kind of put the project on hold for most of 2023. That said...

    N64 HH (Outdated)

    Diggin' this layout! Love the internal 3D printed brackets and mounting structure. And man, doesn't using those flex junction boards make life a hell of a lot easier! Very nice work all around!

    The TigerBoy Advance Complete!

    Hey guys...yeah, I know I've been dead to the forums for quite a while now, but have been as active as I can be in the scene otherwise. That said, I recently finished up a new project that kind of took a step back from the normal and more advanced modding that's been happening lately, and did...

    SLA printing can do the same damn thing...21hrs of print time for some pretty crappy corners. But that's nothing compared to ABS is an Acetone bath for a little too long...Yeah, we've all been there.

    Worklog Another N64 Portable (Downing Clone)

    Honestly, this made me smile! Sorry it took so long to see this post, but seeing the way you've adapted what was very much a "component specific" designed enclosure and adapted it work with what you could get is what I feel is true modding at its finest! Awesome job!

    Project 15: Portable N64 finally complete!

    Yeah, I went through two different brands at that and one wouldn't even adhere to the primer below it. That could have been a factor too, I dunno, but I'm never using it again. It's just with this one it took two weeks for it to happen and then just overnight....WTF...
