Type64, Portable N64 (65% done)

[Hobie-wan]

For those modding in the US, Newegg has fans, all the way down to 25 mm.

I haven't used any, but I've considered adding them to projects a few times.

I have some nice slim fans from laptops and such, but thanks, newegg is a great place!

I think I found out what I am going to do with the Case itself, I am going to use Microballons to attach the bottom handle portions of a non-working Quantum fighterpad for dreamcast to the bottom of the case, This will give me room to put the batteries and Controller board. I noticed from reading some other worklogs that the PSone screen will not fit in an AG-85 without and LED mod, I am Not planning on doing one of these for the time being, but maybe sometime in the future. Anyway, i will have to use Bondo Or Microballons to Glue the top of the psone Screen case to the top of my Now very mutilated Ag-85. The cartridge will most likely Slide down the back between the Controllers handles. If you guys have any questions, Please Comment and I will do my best to answer them.

If you use a pair of 2 litre lunchboxes/tupperware, like I am on my IntoDream project, they are big enough to take a PSone screen board without trimming; so far easier to work with. You see the result you can get from using such cases.

Any pics at this stage DNT?

Not quiet yet, I need to get payed first. I am fairly sure that this case will work fine though.
In the future I will be keeping more detailed logs on these forums That I set up

The forums failed as a result of spam and BWreap.
So I guess I will post here then!
Anyways, I got some momentary pushbutton switches today, I changed my mind about the battery, I will be using a Camcorder battery, eith two Sony 4200MAH batteries, or two Cannon 2000 MAH batteries, It depends on how much money I have when it comes time to buying batteries.
I don' really have enough work done to post anything but once I get the N64 and start to Re-wire I should get some things up.

Just bought an N64 with some games and a Jumper AND expansion pack! only $20!

The guy said he "Couldn't figure out how it went together"

I didn't use a fan in my Darth64 but I used the original heatsinks and aluminum. So it stayed plenty cool. In fact the unit never really heated up at all.

And get something done and some Pics mister

Okay, I'm updating on Friday, that is when i will have almost all of the case done, and will have purchased my n64. the work ATM is all on paper.
My plan is to have this done In four-five weeks.

Week One(Paycheck)
I will be doing Case work because of my rather small paycheck. I will also be getting my N64 this week

Week Two (Tip poll)
Finish up case work (If not completed) Build the heatsinks, re-wire the cart-slot and the expansion pack (If needed) Will purchase Batteries.

Week three(Paycheck)
Troubleshoot, Start fitting things in the case, cutting down the Mo-Bo if needed. If fast shipping on the screen I will wire that up.

Week four(Tip Poll)
If screen did not come in week 3 I will add it in now. Triple check all components, screw the case together and charge.

Bad News: the bank is holding my paycheck for 5 days, this will push the project back, I ran out of money right now, but I am getting my portion of the tip pool.
pics as promised.
Don't worry, the hot glue is temporary, I just put it there to hold it in place for a while while I figure out the placement.
Typewriter keys I will be using-

Fighterpad handles-

Buttons-


NOTE, the typewriter keys WILL be closer together than in the picture, I put them like that to show the keys off!
